haha...Igloo is set but average at best

There is Madlax ...... and then everyone else. Suck it, Strong Island!

I think they won 3 times out of 10 against pack. Let's not talk about those 7 loses, let's only talk about those 3 wins. We get it.

The guy is a troll from LI anyway!

We saw and heard how all the top clubs did last season. Any thoughts on the town teams and how they did? After all, the town teams will all be after the same prize in HS. A State title.

TWO, that's not a lot. Most teams have more than two kids leave. That team will not have a big turn over. Coach really wants this team moving forward. B team maybe, but not the A team.

Everyone is replaceable... preparing for 2019! If you live close you would be a fool not to have your boy tryout. Anyone that says differently is worried that their son will be replaced. Because of performance or they're fathers big, fat mouth on the sideline.

Channy is a slime bucket. How he does is back stabbing. Total disregard for any kids unless in his circle.

That Express team is not good enough because the coach doesn't make the commitment, parents are pulling the kids searching for a coach that will put in the work.
Channy is now working hard to load up that team with more talent and hide the disinterested coaching, not winning is bad for business.

That team can never get better with a coach that isn't interested in the kids.

How are the igloo B team coaches ? Any feedback from parents that had their kid play for them before ? I know its hard but im looking for some honest answers.

They are 2 of the nicest guys you will come across in the travel lacrosse world. Very dedicated to the team.

Igloo B has No goalie...B goalie had to go to the A team...GC kid said no to Igloo

WP went 4 for 5 in summer tourneys this season and have some of the best offensive players in the 2024 game. Except for maybe one or two boys leaving they are not looking to switch things up. Not sure about Taz but they look pretty good also. See no reason for them to dismantle anything. Go sell your BS somewhere else

[/quoteBuddy, Every parent on the team knows who this is and why you're doing it. Very obvious. Almost as obvious as the fact that your son should have never played that position he was playing all summer. So you think If you keep responding maybe no one will show up and potentially replace your him. Your wrong. Players plateau or burn out. It's time to change things up so move aside. Our boys are coming.

I know for sure both are looking for at least 1 or 2 attack and middie on both Taz and Wolfpack. Kids you think are staying aren't. Even the coaches know it!

Taz is only looking for big middies to compete with the hold backs on Mad Lax and the rest of the Maryland teams. They will move the small and slower middies to Atk.

Be careful, Teams are always looking to get bigger and stronger. ITS happening, do not be foolish.

Both teams do not have any big kids. Come the next 2 years it will be tough for them. They are definitely going to need to get rid of all those little ones. Putting them to attack doesn't work either because attack is up against the large defenders. Little guys are best in middie where they can run.

Little guys are going to have to really work hard and be super fast the next few years when some of the other boys are really getting big! Not an easy sport for the small ones. Stick to soccer.

He's a director of a for profit business - in that sense, his first priority will be HIS interest. Provided that any other interests does not conflict with HIS, then maybe. The idea that these guys are all altruistic about lacrosse is a farce - they're lucky as [lacrosse] that they can make money on something they may love, but don't for a moment that making money isn't their priority.

Anyone go to dukes ?

Dukes nationals got beat by express 11-4 today. Express had one long pole. Hey dukes, when you guys learn how to pass the ball and play like a team, maybe you will be competetive. Gonzo, it's time to clean house and get rid of your ball hog friends and their kids

Hard to blame the kids when their dads are yelling Go! Go! overtime they touch the ball. Never seen such selfish lax.

That's great, I'm at Long Beach enjoying a nice weekend with family and friends. It's time to do other things this summer. Keep us posted though on that ball hog situation though, that sounds so interesting.

Agree....was REALLY bad lacrosse. Middies need to be taught how to play the game. Felt like every man for himself.

Are you? Do your "family and friends" like to stand around and watch while you post on back of the cage? You are a troll hitting refresh in your basement. Coming onto this site to post that you're busy doing other things is beyond words stupid...even by BOC standards.

Ok 5ft mom - on a good day.
So when they finally grow maybe they can play against the big boys but this year will be hard up against the boys growing, while little Johnny is still tiny and getting knocked over.

Short and skinny doesn't work. Short and strong can work. A lot of these boys going into 6th grade are very small and skinny. They can't hold up against big defenders. Make them strong and they have a chance.

Did team Long Island fold?

Did you just say make them strong??In a nut shell most of the big boys ON AGE are to slow for the smaller faster more athletic kids.However, the big hold backs...well yes they for the most part will give the smaller on age kid a harder time...This will change in 2-3 yrs.

steroids will help make them really strong.

When your big goon giraffe is looking around for the ball he dropped, tell him to look for my little Johnny (or Rob, or Kevin, or Matt) who will be running down the field with it. Height didn't help you, and it's not going to help your son either.

Looks like they still cannot find a coach for the 2nd team. Only going to take one team. This has been confirmed.

Size alone is meaningless. Size with exceptional skill and speed is different, if the player knows how to use it. Such players are rare.

They won't be back on Thursday. They will be at Express tryouts.
None of the strong players will go to S2S

Are you talking football but enough not watch out all you BIG and holdback players.....dwarfs are coming for you

As they blow them in the air and get pushed over in a heart beat.
Size matters and everyone know it. Obviously size with skill. But if the coach is choosing between two strong players and one is larger, guess who he's going to pick.
Unless of course you are lining his pocket or something else.

Any update? I heard the talent at the tryout was good. Are the rosters set? Any supplemental?

True Blue had some great talent at tryouts. If they secure these kids they will be a top team on LI.

igloo is a revolving door. S2S will pass them in two years, mark it down

That's funny. Since they probably kicked your teams as*. I guess that makes your teams coaches the worst. And they definitely not as embarrassing as that troll you call a wife.

There are still 2 tryouts left. You can bring your son over. He can definitely ride the bench for them.

You seriously believe that??! It was pretty obvious that they had pretty much selected players for the A or B teams from the last weekends tryouts, and they used Monday's third day of tryouts just to make sure they didn't miss anything, good or bad, before making the final picks. That would have been painfully obvious to you if you had realized they had the boys separated out that way from the beginning of Monday's session . . .

Yes Select is the A team. Igloo will have an A and B team. Who is going to pay all that $$ for a Levittown/Bluefish cast off coach.

what is a Levittown Bluefish? Sounds to me like you have personal issue with the guy.

I guess there is no point to the 2018 Season now. What will any team do when they lose their "best players"? Maybe the Outlaws should just fold the team. TB now becomes the top team after Taz and Wolfpack...haha...just let the kids play. This all means nothing at this age.

Unless of course you are lining his pocket or something else.

When you are focused on size or even talking about it, you've realized it's all your kid has. And you're right that it is considered an asset/novelty now...I see big kids who are TERRIBLE lacrosse players who are recruited JUST for size....can't catch, throw or pick up a ground ball. But they don't win games. These kids are eleven and haven't gone through puberty, calm the f down. And try to work on making more money so that when your kid isn't the tallest anymore, you can afford to get him on a team .

Can anyone please give insight on True Blue , Outlaws, Igloo, and Express B? First year here and was wondering. I know Express tryouts are still going on but from what I saw I think my son would make the B team. Thanks for any help.

True Blue has an A and a B team this year for 2024. Outlaws have them same. Igloo has the same. Lastly, Express has the same.

People seem to love the Express B coach from what I've always seen on here. From what I've observed on the sidelines he's a bit loud and direct. Not a bad thing if that works for your kid. I do remember my kids team playing against him, his team was up by a goal and he was killing the clock. One boy started to dodge to goal and he yelled out "If you shoot that ball I'll kill you!" He was right, I thought it was funny, but maybe not for everyone.

O' Reilly is a great coach. The boys learn to play lax and they have a great time. If he yells at your kid, it is because he deserves it. I will guarantee within his next breath he will say something positive and make sure your kid understands what he did wrong. If you are looking for something more than that, your kid is playing the wrong sport. Another thing, loud and direct is refreshing these days as long as you believe the coach knows what he is doing.....

Thanks. So Express B would be first if he makes it. If he doesn't what about True Blue 2 teams compared to Igloos and Outlaws? We are on the South Shore so if there are any good clubs that you can suggest that would be appreciated. We didn't have as many options last year in another state.

True Blue has already held their tryouts - they might have spot or two open at certain positions for their B team, but not sure there is any opportunity for their A team.

Agreed on O'Reilly, hes a great coach as is his top asst. Based on last nights turnout the team will upgrade at pretty much every position and there is already a solid core to build from.

Talent for B team. Not A team talent. Kids are still very young. These kids with the right coaching could really develop. Pick the right coach and team for your child.

Just stating he facts. Sorry you can not handle it. Express is a good club, with some talented boys at all ages. You seem to have the problem with the way you child plays. I was just pointing out the truth. you are just fooling yourself

This site is such a joke. I was there. Could not be 50 kids. They had 4 teams scrimmaging with a bench on each team.
Talent was OK. A team won't change much. A lot of good B talent.
Kids all really hustled.

Here's some Math for you...hope you can handle
2 field scrimmages = 40 Kids
8-10 Subs per - 32 - 40 Kids
72-80 kids present
Can you follow?

80 kids were registered online. Then count walk ups. Another round tonight....Come down if not get a hobby trolls.

Well run tryout for Express...I mean its no 91 but the kids got a lot or reps

How were 9D1 tryouts? Do they finally have enough to form the 2nd team for 2024?

Anyone go to S2S last night Numbers were pretty light on Tuesday and last night conflicted with Express. Wonder if they will be able to field a team.

I can say that most people on this site or morons from the same 3 or 4 teams that battle for "the best" unfortunately the kids are 11 and being the best really isnt that important unless you have insecurity issues, getting a coach & team that makes your kid do their best is what matters & there's a lot of good talent and coaching all around...my son played on a team last year and absolutely loved it as did myself & wife, I have heard a lot of ppl on this site talk bad about teams we played against and most of what they say is not true so If I can give any advice it would be to go to a few tryouts and pay attention to what is going on and how the kids/parents/coaches all interact and see where your kid would fit in the best and ignore most of the stupidity perpetuated by the same few teams on this site.

That really means nothing. Leg a cee tryouts always have a ton of kids. But those kids are there for Taz. If they don't make it they go back to their club.

Does anyone have any insights on the 2 024 Primetime program. Tryouts are tomorrow and it would be great to get an idea of:
* Whether are really looing for new talent (eg Attackmen)?
* Number of practices during the school week?
* Feedback on the program in terms of coaching?

Any insights would be appreciated,

No one is making Taz... they ask all their players back ...... Taz players don't leave.... even the ones that DON'T Play... I guess a child can never havev enough t shirts

Not true, Taz looking to get bigger at the midfield. One certain Outlaw had already practiced with them and fits the bill. I'm sure they will "recruit" a few more to go along with him.

Practices are weeknights usually 7-8:30 pm. Roy colsey - hall of famer and coach of ridgefield hs is coaching this year. Plenty of spots to be had across the board. The best kids will make it

Who is replacing the Taz attackman that everyone talks about?

Is that certain Outlaw making the team according to you?

you parents on Taz are viscous. It is blatantly obvious that the defense and attack are talking about the middies. The middies are bashing the defense. I've heard you parents are insane but you bring new meaning to the word cut throat.

Very impressed with the PT program.

Great communication to the parents. Great ethos and vision/mission for the program.

Best that I've seen so far....

Heard Igloo lost another assistant coach and his son. 2 years in a row...

Pretty good turnout, Lots of evaluators. Pretty organized and definitely some solid players . Daniello runs a tight ship

Did Wolfpack upgrade? Need some size at attack

My son did the Warrior All America Games at UMass. Participation was pretty weak outside of Long Island. Based on the online rosters for the Brine tournament it looks like the rest of the country did the Brine Games. Anybody have any knowledge about the Brine event?

I've heard good things. Lots of teams getting coached up by college coaches. Only negative is late July in Virginia. Hot!

Rumor is Express. Is the Express FOGO leaving?

Will outlaws carry two teams this year? Who is coaching gold?

If my son missed most of these tryouts from being away what is my best chance to find him a spot. Central island area.

Sounds like little Johnny got the C nod

a top team in what division. B or C.... TRUE BLUE is more like TRUE LIES...THEY can not even beat the outlaws , let alone WP, Taz, Express or Igloo. SOOO SETTLE DOWN!!!

Again with the idea that there are ~5 A teams and everyone else is B - so shortsighted and elitist, but pretty typical of the narrow mindedness perpetuated on BOTC . . .

Can't beat the outlaws? TB just got their best attackman and defenseman.

Is that what these two Outlaw Parents told you True Blue. Ha Ha Ha Good Luck with that.

What's up with igloo? Why did another coach leave???

True Blue is true lies and a VERY shady group of owner and coaching. We all know the truth.

Outlaws select coach didn't quit. He was asked to step aside, fact. All the boys disliked him as well as many parents. Look at the team, it has completely turned over in 2 seasons. That speaks volumes. He was nasty to the kids and a complete crybaby.. Everybody is better off he is out, including his son.

I heard same. Not confirmed but it wouldn't surprise me.

Jesus Christ is a deouche? (nice spelling, btw Einstein). I hope you clean the Cheetos dust off your fingers and head to church, temple or where ever you pray to apologize to him. I know he is big on forgiveness but the deouche comment may be worth a few Hail Marys and Our Fathers.

Seriously?? It's a play on the whole cold/ice thing . . . you know, like their club name!

[quote=Anonymous]how many good B teams out there? none[/qu

Outlaws B team was very good last year. They beat some "A" teams. Won a few t shirts. Despite what some people say on here. It's a decent organization. At the very least, no worse than any other place. All these teams have their issues. PB is easy to work with as a parent and he will always take your call. There is not an organization out there that isn't buyer beware, have coaching issues, have parent issues. They play in some pretty good tournaments. Yes their select team has been getting beat up the last few years, but they are trying to climb back up. There are not any teams on LI that can really compete with WP and Taz. Just an FYI. ote]

Sounds like little Johnny got the C nod

a top team in what division. B or C.... TRUE BLUE is more like TRUE LIES...THEY can not even beat the outlaws , let alone WP, Taz, Express or Igloo. SOOO SETTLE DOWN!!!

Can't beat the outlaws? TB just got their best attackman and defenseman.

Is that what these two Outlaw Parents told you True Blue. Ha Ha Ha Good Luck with that.

The best attackman and defenseman from the Outlaws that ain't saying much we all saw the Outlaws select last year they were BAD. Can't recall a good player at all. Wonder why the best players would get a demotion to play on a C club like TB.

It never ceases to amaze me of how distorted a view some on LI have of talent levels - if you were to go based upon the assessments on BOTC, if your son isn't playing for Taz, WP or thereabouts, he's a [lacrosse] lacrosse player, and not worthy of stepping on the field to play the game. It's an absolute rediculous mindset and not based on reality!

TB made every A tournament championship. Yet they still won't be recognized as an A team. These other parents need to accept the fact there are not just two A teams.

[/quote] what you need to understand is that those 2 teams are Elite. Yes there are plenty of A teams on long island, and plenty of great players, but those 2 teams play at a much higher level. its just a fact,. They are ABOVE A..... people are to focused on the labels... its all about the training. Those 2 clubs provide it and draw the talent there.. Plain and simple.

"TB made every A tournament championship. Yet they still won't be recognized as an A team"

Obviously you do not know what a real A tournament looks like, regarding talent level.

Losing to Express in a B tournament by 10+ goals, doesn't equate on any level being an "A" club.
FWIW, Express was WAY below being "elite" this past summer.

And please don't start w. Coach cat sitting the best players.

have to agree with all of the above

What team is WP (ie what is the acronym)?

Not leaving for now but don't hold your breath about keeping him for long. He's a smart guy. That Taz team is ready to implode. So much banter between offense/defense parents. Each in their own groups and talking how the other is not doing their job. They all hate the wizard behind the curtain who pulls all the strings. The wizard believes everyone loves him. Yeah, right people are scared to lose spot because of him. They may be only filling 1/2 spots and replacing a few by the blindside effect. Ask how those cut players felt last year. A lot of empty promises made to rope people in. Let's see who makes the team and didn't go to tryouts.

express beat them 6-3 the first time. They did not crush anyone that tournament. Then the championship they magically beat a team 10 goals? Go ask your kids if any starters played. Not one.

TB had a good team last year. Had a few really talented kids. They played well in some B tournaments. I'm sure they will be good this year too. And they could be one of the better teams on LI. But with the exception of Taz and WP, the rest of the teams are being watered down by the emergence of all these new clubs. So each team will have 2 or 3 really good players and then a bunch of good players and then the kids that are new or average. All these teams are creating a lot of turnover and will be harder for each team to hold onto the better players. That's really good for the top 2. But let's remember that other than us the parents and the guys making all the money. No one gives a crap about 5th, 6th or 7th grade lacrosse. And with the new recruiting rules. People care less about 8th or 9th grade lax now too. Maybe just pick a team, have the kids make some friends get better and worry about an academic scholarship.

Who cares who makes the team and did not go to tryouts? I'm sure parents that have kids that were or are going to be cut. I hope all the parents that were happy where the played last year and had a good experience see these posts and realize the grass isn't greener and its 6th grade lacrosse. No one is gonna give you a scholarship to Maryland yet. Put your egos in check for a minute and be a parent, not an agent.

I saw the same thing. The tryout was delusional with the people running it. I had more fun watching the deer run on the fields! It's a shame that the kids who really tried hard and looked better than the Legacy helmets never had a shot. Waste of money.

No argument to much of what you posted - the parents (and I guess clubs) of the top three teams are caught up with their little 'club' that they think they own. The problem is that their club is the AA club, not the A club. No argument that they are the best of the best, but there is a group below their club that is part of the A level - no, those teams are not part of the AA group, but they are they are definitely way better than the B and C teams of which there are way many more of. Were this a locale that was not a hotbed of lacrosse, one could make the argument that there were only a few teams in "A", but this is Long Island, and there are and should be a lot more teams considered A than the handful these folks want to consider. In actuality, they do themselves no favors with how they assess teams - they actual water down the meaningfulness of being an elite team by only considering 5 - 7 teams as their peers. There actually probably are about `20 LI teams that should be considered "A", with the top 5 - 7 they currently call "A" being "AA". Thsi also pretty much true for most, if not all age groups on LI. With regards to tournaments and who has played in which, there are A tournaments and then there are AA tournaments - any AA team should win a general A tournament (or bracket); likewise a non-AA team would have a tough time in a pure AA tournament.

So year after year you continue to go to tryouts for the bloated cost and the opportunity to a experience great evaluation to be measured and come up short.

Sounds like the best...........

OK GC daddy. We'll see if you last the year. Just because your son is big doesn't mean he can play. It'll show.
Plus good luck with Schwalje, he could care less about your kid or your family. Hope he shows up this year! He dismantles the tram every year.

youre right.. it does seem that way... say what you want but I took my kid tonight and all I can say are those kids are incredible. The parents all seem to like each other. Which reading between the lines on this site doesn't seem to be the case with some of the other clubs in this caliber. All the coaches were present and attentive. Seemed like the best to me.

It's sad and pathetic this year what they did. Moving boys down to 2025, moving kids down to the B team and just taking big holdbacks. These boys are not better they are just bigger. Maybe if Schwalje was a good coach and around he could teach these boys but he's not. This team may as well just be the GC town team.

My son plays for another year, but I do know someone who was cut.

You are a complete IDIOT. Why would they take holdbacks? They took the best kids because they want to compete in 2018 for the WSYL Championships. If they were too old they wont be able to play dummy. Go back to trolling other grades on this site. You are a total creep.Holdbacks HA not many on LI at this age...Go to MA or MD..they are all Holdbacks

My son is a good player. But not on the caliber of some of those WP kids. He has fun going against those kids and he gets some practice going against some of the best. We aren't going there to play for them as he is already committed to a program. But it's a good work out. Well run. If you haven't been, I suggest you go

agree for the most part but I have news for you --- unless DRASTIC changes are made, this team has no chance competing for WSYL. Which I am sure is completely fine for many parents. Big expense on top of a VERY steep "tuition."

DRASTIC changes were made at the tryouts this year for Express 2024. Ask any parent that was on the team last year that was moved down

What are the DRASTIC changes?

Express added more 2023 players lol

Why would a team of sixth graders be vying to compete in a tournament that is age-based for what are largely 7th graders . . .??

Express 2024 does not have any kids that are holdback. They will all be able to all play in the WSYL in 2019. Express 2022 did the same thing going into 6th grade by upgrading all positions and they havent looked back.

EVERY. SINGLE. TEAM. HAS A FEW. Move on!! And am sure not one was done maliciously and for lacrosse reasons. That comes in later grades. And at least on my son's team, the few we have are not the best on the team.

Team is done. Trying to sell. May want to look at another team. As usual Gongas will not tell anyone anything. All directors feed you BS. But he is the worst of all. He doesn't care if your kid plays lax or not. He wants to sell program with all the kids in it to get more $.

Says the dad who's son who got the C invite. As long as the kids are developing and having fun, who cares? Other than the dad who is living through his 11 year old son, who will hate the sport soon enough.

Stop it! Taz players know who is returning -prior to try outs, In addition to - if they wanted your boy - you would have known.

So WHY did you even have your son tryout????

So your son tried out, made the team, you haven't even begun, and you are already complaining. Shut up and go back to GC town lax.
You won't last the year with an attitude like that.

$3,800 is ridiculous.

I just registered for 2900.

Express Play days are the biggest waste of money and the ultimate money grab. Express runs these "play days" who should eliminated and not charged for. There are some good coaches in the organization but their reputation of being a money grab and impersonal scares away quality players. Yes i know the next post will say I'm living through my kid blah blah blah. No, this is quality instruction for my kid that I'm critical of because of the price I pay. Its not so much as winning the tournaments as it is playing with and against great competition. Also for my son to bond with out of town kids is important too. Its a confusing process navigating through travel lax. Hopefully its beneficial in the end, and not by scholarship, but the experience in general.

Don't play for an A team then and pay $2900.
There are plenty of kids who will. Stop your butching already and go back to town travel.

And what's included for the $3800 to the A team? Let's be more detailed.

Everything except for box.
Which is close to what we paid last year. I would rather find out upfront all the costs than get a surprise come spring that it's extra money.

Why you would care about where a teams kids are from. Sounds like your little boy wonder either was cut or was asked to leave. Either way be quiet you are obviously bitter and nobody cares anyway. If the kids on the team are happy not sure why you care.

O'Reilly Is 1 of the best coaches out there. He has less teams going forward and is committing more time to the remaining teams. Your kid would be lucky at this age to be coached by him.

Solid coach but best around is a bit a of reach. Also, he is coaching 5 teams next season, same as last year, not to mention all of his clinics. Not sure were all this extra time is coming from but good luck and enjoy.

What the [lacrosse] is wrong with you? You should be ashamed for making a statement like that.
And if your an express parent and said that to another parent in your organization you should be disgusted with yourself. And you and your family should be kicked out of the organization.

LOL! You respond with the same pat answer because intellect alludes you. You do know that you give yourself away by the way you respond. Sadly you don't even understand what was said to you. Because you probably have not read a book in your lifetime. And no, Dr Seuss doesn't count. LOL!

Great response. I respect that. You see the good and the bad, and then make the best informed decision for your kid. That's not living through your kid. That's good parenting. That's what most of us want, the best for our kids. And I agree, the travel lax process can be confusing. I hope you, your son, and your team have a fantastic season. See you on the field.

But if you read the entire conversation, you will understand why the individual was referred to as ignorant.

BTW, the (sic) denotes the word is spelled wrong.

As a parent to a former club player, here's what to do with your 5k, play pal, find a great trainer for one on ones, buy lots of backyard practice gear and have your kid practice with his friends and by self,invest in a 529 and spend the rest at your favorite restaurant and bar..then read botc and laugh at the fools who are spending 5k so their kid can ride the bench on his club and hs team and complain about it

Holy Crap. Who cares. Don't pay it, pay it just STFU about it

Not sure why people are debating what to do with the cost of Lax tuition. If your son plays and you are ok with the cost then that is your family's business. If you think the cost is too high and your son plays PAL, that is your desicion as well. It is actually nobody's business what anyone does with their own funds. The haters are just that HATERS. Worry about yourself and stfu already. My kid plays, I'm good with the cost and the club and the coach. Move on already...
And BTW my son sucks, his team sucks and the coach sucks too.

There may actually be a smart parent with some sense on this forum after all. Bravo!

I will say that although I believe costs are getting out of control, there seems to always be someone willing to step in and pay it. If you get what you pay for on the other hand, is totally up to that family.
Not everyone who plays travel Lacrosse is looking for a scholarship or be on the "best team". There are some really cool story's, memories and friendships to be had if everyone would just step back and have some perspective...

You sound like a real genius!!! Let me keep being a jerk because other people do it. Great example for your kid...How about leading by example and coming up with something intelligent to say...

Why did legacy storm become launch?

Because Kyle Keenan left the organization and Mike Taylor took over the team. So he wanted a fresh start. But it's mostly the same players with the exception of a few.

Why is Taylor bad news?

Launch is probably going to be Unterstein ..There is a coaching carousel about to happen by winter.

Do not mention kids in negative ways please. I dont care what you think of the parent. These are kids people!!!

Legacy is horrible and no integrity.

The original message was a response to a negative comment about TLI had folded. TLI teams 2023,2024 & 2025 still are playing and looking forward to the next season.

Holding on by a thread. Like everything else he has touched, looks like MG ran that program into the ground.

Let's broaden the conversation beyon the Island. Based upon what folks saw this summer, who should we be watching out for from NJ, PA and MD?

Isn't he head coach at SWR?

Legacy is horrible and no integrity.

Would you mind sharing your experience and reason for the comment? ("legacy is horrible.....)

Shawn Burns is the coach...$3600 minimum for only 4 touney's is insane. They have a free tryout tonight at their place if you don't have a better option.

They will do way more than required and more than 4 tourneys. The B team might be a better call than the so called A team.

SB is a good guy. goes the extra mile - he coached my son @ Bluefish 2 years ago.

After Madlax 2024, there is nothing else to talk about, LI Daddys ...

SB. ON IGLOO B. IS A steroid head And he sucks as a coach

There is zero shot of them being beter than their A team. They, including AA are making calls basically begging kids to join.

Express 2024 A going to be very good this year. Cut a lot of players to bring in better players. They will all be able to play in the 2019 WSYL..Pls stop saying this team has soooo many holdbacks.

Sounds like team24 is a little upset that igloo grabbed some of there kids. Keep having those awesome practices on a quarter field in GC. Welcome to travel lacrosse boys!

Lets get real.If someone is throwing around ages, Most of those boys on Express A and all the GC and Manhasset boys are already 12.

UM--- Hello.. do the math-- the ACCURATE age for a 2024 is in fact 10-11.... NO ONE was "throwing around ages," perhaps read the comment--
there was no reference to age discrepancy... simply that people meaning parents... do a ton of "talking" on here more so than the 10-11year old players... that's all.....

Thank you for the clarification. Fact of the matter here, and it is everywhere, some kids are 12 on just about every team out there. Social reasons. Learning reasons. Who knows. I would guess 99% of 2024 'holdbacks" are NOT "holdbacks" for lacrosse reasons. And are generally not the best kids on the team. Move on, please. Once you get to the high school years, then complain about holdbacks for lacrosse reasons. Until USA Lacrosse goes strictly to age cutoffs, then its a circular argument. My son is a 2024, and has two older brothers in high school. Trust me, worry about it come high school.

By HS, the holdback argument is pretty much gone - most boys have hit puberty, and they have to play against varying aged kids in both JV and Varsity. Holdback arguments ONLY apply to pre-HS ages, so for 6th graders it is an appropriate discussion. The worst grades for where holdbacks have the most impact are 7th & 8th.

It doesnt matter if they aren't "holdbacks" for lacrosse reasons. They've had another year to mature, grow, play lacrosse, get stronger & bigger. If they are 12 in the 6th grade before the end is this year, they are labeled as a holdback. End of story!

More Express PHONEY holdbacks! They are loading the team with 7th grade kids with late birthdays saying it is gor WSYL reasons.

It is just cheating.

Wrong on the end of year. December is not a holdback in NY.

So a dec 05 vs a jan 06 is considered a holdback..Get a grip fella. if you are born Sept 1,2005 or later and mom/dad decided to have u start K the following year meaning 2011 they are still under USL rules....So im my opinion that is not a holdback. My son is not in this situation but it is what it is...

Ok what if your son was born after Sept 1st date in 2005...But Mommy and Daddy did not feel the need to hold back....Would that be ok to play in the 2024 division. I mean they are the same age??

Having 3 teams is ridiculous. Shows your only there for the money. A c team with so many clubs on LI is just an awful team. And does nothing for anyone but the owner

Anthing before 12/1 is a holdback -- the only people keeping here kids from entering school is the parents --- hence holdback--

Some districts on Long Island are 12/15.

And that's why Igloo will continue to be average at best.

Any boy in 2005 who was born before august would be considered a hold back. Football it would be October . Truth is there are 2006 and 07 better then o5 so the theory does not hold .

If a kid is bigger stronger faster= 99% 05 baby. Their are slow weak and small 05s too. Juke harder to spot.

Bluefish, 24, Holdbacks..... Do you guys talk about anything that matters? Those 2 teams are non events...Next!!

As for Holdbacks until they go to an age based system it is a nonstarted so who cares to talk about it. It is a waste of energy.
Move on now, next topic....

Is it true that Igloo B basically let anyone on the team to fill spots. My neighbor told me his son didn't go to try outs and they asked him to play after just talking to the dad...Seems like they took all comers..
Moneyball at its finest.....Should be a fun experiment....

There is zero shot of them being beter than their A team. They, including AA are making calls basically begging kids to join.

Sorry but he is not a good coach - that's why the bluefish let him go ask any parent that was on igloo last year about the coaches, there is a reason they are no longer coaching the A team

I know a kid who is on Igloo B who needs a lot of work. Let just say the kid can run, but cant catch throw or shoot.

Is your kid in 7th grade? 2024 is for 6th grade kids regardless of age (unfortunately). So its Not OK!

we went back to igloo with the promise of change. hope its true. so far not good. haven't heard a work of the figure head coach.

I think with the exception of Taz, WP, Express A and maybe Igloo A, that will be pretty much the case with all the rest of the teams. With the amount of teams and lack of talent in this age group every team will have a larger discrepancy of talent level from the "top" kids to the next level. To fill this many rosters, the bottom or even the middle of some of these teams will have to take some of the kids with athletic ability and little lacrosse skills. Looking like the NFLwith a few top teams and then parity.

TB will never give up control on igloo. His buddy is the "head coach". Parents got scammed. How come he can't hold onto an assistant coach???

Well then, take your son out back and make him better. Don't use the old "I know a kid" thing. We know it's your son and you are looking for advice. So here it is, YOU need to work with him. All right good luck and I hope your Igloo B team has a great season!

Just heard that there will only be one 2024 Outlaws team. They couldn't get enough select players and they have to combine the select and gold. Seem like a bit of a mess. But after reading this forum all the 2024 teams are a mess.

Sorry to hear the Outlaws couldn't field a real team but that isn't news. The select coach who was fired was hated by his kids and parents. He is also hated in his town. He had a terrible reputation and destroyed the 2024 age group for that club.
You should have done some more research if that is the team you had your son join. To lump every team in the age bracket as a mess speaks more about you then the teams you are speaking about.

OK so your son is a stud on TAZ and you write a post about The Outlaws who can't get a team together? Who's the loser??? I am sure you are full of crap and your boy plays with his younger sisters friends and not TAZ. It's the summer, go outside and brag to your neighbor how great your lawn looks, tool.

Hold back = any parent not putting the child in the right grade .
Stated earlier 12/1 and 12/15 Long Island school cut offs.
So if you born any time before that and you hold him back then there it is..
Hold back!!!!!! It's ok...it's just math ..

Storm/ Lauch lol some parents will do anything to get more t-shirts lol

There is more misinformation in these 2 posts than a Trump press conference. We get that you left the Outlaws. But you don't have to spread lies. Sorry you got duped by Taz and they only took your son to keep him off of 91. You will fit in there perfectly.

Where in this post does it say my son plays for the Outlaws genius? Taz for Life.

I'm sorry to hear that. Which tool of a parent are you? The middies that talk about the need for bigger attackman, the attack who talk about the need for more speedy defenseman, or the attackman who by far are the most obnoxious, that talk crap about the Faceoffs disgruntled father. I would much rather stick with the Outlaw's and the "mess" as you put it, than sit on the sidelines with the garbage and backstabbing going on in East Islip Marina.

Or about why there are kids playing up and taking playing time away from your kids who could be lighting it up.

Not 1 lie about the Outlaws coach at all. Everything stated was a fact just ask 1 parent on that team or town. If they have 1 or 2 teams, I don't know or care. Terrible organization from the top down....

Apparently you cought last weeks episode of Game of Thrones. Wasn't that the analogy Cersei used to justify banging her brother. Tool! We could see why you chose it though. You "lions" over in East Islip are back stabbing, manipulative, and definitely look/act slightly inbred.

Have you had any experience with the organization? Or are you just another anonymous basher not happy with your own situation and therefore want to feel as though everyone else is as miserable as yourself. When my son played with the Outlaws PB was nothing but professional and straight forward. I have no complaints about the organization. I know different age groups and coaches have different experiences but for you to categorically call the Outlaws a complete joke is absolutely not true. You can find problems with every club. If you're not happy move on and don't look back. Do you really need to use the energy to bad mouth another organization? Use your energy more positively. What is your objective? Taint an organization to scare everyone away and put them out of business? It's not going to happen. If people are unhappy they will leave and it will have absolutely nothing to do with an anonymous post. Enjoy your season with your club.

would never bash another organization, Especially when my son had good years with the outlaw organization. you are barking up the wrong tree... not us. loved the outlaws. Do not be so quick to judge what you read

Is S2S still looking for players?

I agree. Overall the organization isn't bad at all. My son enjoys playing for his coach and the organization. If you don't like a particular organization, yes it may be time to move on, but as stated in the last post, every organization his it's issues and teams/coaches some are not satisfied with. This past year I thought the coach did a grest job with the team, a true professional in every sense.

The Outlaws will have 2 teams in the 2024 age group. John Greaney, Babylon Head Coach and Notre Dame Alumni, will be heading one of the teams. He will be assisted by Anthony Santamaria (Smithtown West Assistant/CW Post Alumni) and Bobby Moltisanti Jr. (Smithtown West Head Coach/St. John's Alumni).

Josh Rotolo (Binghamton Alumni) and Jim Coromilas (St. John's Alumni) will be coaching a team as well.

And by "bottom end" how many are you referring to? Where is their roster posted that you know this? Should we just count this new team out before they get started with training and practice??? Or are they not ready for that either?

I'm going to puke!

Since they are a new club for the other grades they are taking anybody who went to tryouts. There were no legit evaluations. They needed to fill the roster.

There are some real solid kids on the team but yes, they needed to fill the bottom of the roster too

wow, not even a single practice or a single game played and the lacrosse gurus have come to this conclusion. Probably the same guy who was asking what "kicking the crosse" means.

Is Moltisanti the same coach that coached 2024, 2 seasons ago and went to 1 practice in June after his HS team ended? Is he also the same coach who's son never practiced and never left the field?
Have fun with those politics. Save your money and play PAL.

PB runs his "Select" team's like they are all awesome and bottom line they never deliver...I am not trying to settle a score, facts r facts...

Hahah, yeah i know the feeling. guy tells you how great the team is goalie has good feet etc etc etc, his team practices a lot.. then i hit him with the question "do you guys play with a LSM".. the look of confusion was quite telling. call the directors or email them, they will answer your questions. if there are spots ask to come to a practice -- if they need kids they will let you come and decide for yourself. But whatever you do dont listen to anyone on here. Good luck.

Kinda pathetic to specifically identify a 10-11 year old kid, no? Clearly you are disgruntled dad from that team last year. It's a new season. Move on. Don't be so bitter

No it's not. He did not coach 2024 2 yrs ago. But thanks for playing another round of bitter and clueless lax moms. See you next time loser

If he is pretty good, he probably has his pick of teams. With so many new teams popping up the last few years, almost every team has a weak bottom part of the roster

Great coach, parents, blah blah blah..Wait till you guys get hammered and the complaining starts. Then we will see how great it is to be an OUTLAW...The fact your team has to practice the last week of summer while other kids are having family time smells of desperation. Enjoy the view from the swamp...

Lmao. What team is your son on? Is that what happened to Jrs team last year? His team got hammered and all the parents turned on each other? All the college scouts stopped watching? It's all good here. The boys couldn't wait to get back out there and start playing. I'm sure if you call PB you could get a spot on the team.

I believe that kicking the crosse is the name of an anti Catholic gang that takes advantage of and exploits children. Some people believe it was started by disgruntled Chaminade students!

You are criticizing a coach for starting already and to take away a family's time together??? But wasting your time criticizing a coach and an organization while you type garbage anonymously isn't wasting time?? Log off your device and go have spend some time with your family instead of wasting time bashing an organization and coach that you don't play for.

So what team is your son on that is so much better? Based on your reco all LI teams should fold except for Taz and WP. By the way Taz started practicing last week.

His kid is on neither of those teams. I'm gonna go with true blue. Either attack or d pole. Wait til he gets a load of them. Lol

Must be the best 2024 attack to ever play for outlaws or any team. Have fun with the your greener grass and poisoning that sideline.

Stop making up crap that Taz parents are disgruntled. Not one play has left the Taz in 3 seasons, some have left because they did not make the squad. I wonder how many players have left the Outlaws in the past 3 years. Their are more Outlaw helmets playing for other Teams every fall. I think the Outlaws have a problem with the 2024 Teams. Fact!!!!

And by "bottom end" how many are you referring to? Where is their roster posted that you know this? Should we just count this new team out before they get started with training and practice??? Or are they not ready for that either?

Wouldn't count them out but with all new teams they will have their growing pains.

Check your facts, call and ask PB. He was Mclam's assistant....Total fact... BTW your Select team will be junk again for 3 years in a row...Love to see all the white trash on your sidelines so upset you bought the story hook, line and stinker....lololol

Actually couldn't be happier. We have great coach, great parents, kids all have fun. No bitching and backstabbing. Boys already on the practice field. It's great to be an outlaw

Great coach, parents, blah blah blah..Wait till you guys get hammered and the complaining starts.

Lmao. What team is your son on? Is that what happened to Jrs team last year? His team got hammered and all the parents turned on each other? All the college scouts stopped watching? It's all good here. The boys couldn't wait to get back out there and start playing. I'm sure if you call PB you could get a spot on the team.

If a starting spot on the Outlaws came with your wifes # I would think about it as long as she agrees to shave her back.

Sounds like the Outlaws 2024 are gasping for air... From past years posts that organization sounds like it needs help...

Lmao. I doubt they would take your little rabil anyway. Not because of his ability, but because his parents are tools. I'm sure you get that everywhere though.

Fact!!!!

Your just gonna bash the Outlaws on any post that is out there. There is nothing on these two comments that mention Taz or the Outlaws. You really have zero life huh? Guess not much going on in Moms basement lately

I'm not sure why Parents bash the Outlaws so much. I've heard they have had some turnover the past few years on the Select team. I guess parents just can't leave a program and let it be. But I don't get why they haven't been better since from the posts every kid that leaves was the best in the world at their position. We played the Gold team last year at NXT and they were very good. They really seemed to have great chemistry. From what I heard they are going to be the better of the 2 teams. I think they like other teams hating them. Good luck to them this year. I would love to see them make people eat their words.

You people are ridiculous. My son plays on the Outlaws Gold team. This is his 2nd year on the team and he loves it. The team beat a few teams last year that were suppose to beat us and from BOTC were the next WP. The coaching on this team is great and all the kids improved last year from beginning to end. Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought the purpose of 11 yo lacrosse was to learn and get better. Well that's exactly what this team did. When I read the comments on here about the team and parents we just laugh at you and wonder how pathetic your life must be. We are thankful we don't have to deal with any of you on the sidelines during the year. I hope your kids all have a great experience with their team and they all do well. I'm not sure any of the parents that post on here will ever be happy with the team their kids play for. And a majority of your kids will probably not even be playing lacrosse in 2 or 3 yrs from now. But please keep posting, We need the laughs. Thanks again. Mike

No kids have left Taz in 3 yrs? Does that include the kids that were put on Launch this year that lost their spots on Taz?

What teams were " supposed to beat us" "next WP" ? Is that what your coach told you? Outlaws Gold played in low level B tournaments and played some 4th grade teams at NXT. Give us a break

I was not really bragging about how great this team was. I was saying it's a good team, with good coaching and the kids enjoy it. Which is kinda what 11 yo lax is about. But I guess you are all about t shirts and rankings. So, What's a low level B? Is there a high level B? Who would you judge as a high level B? If you could give some examples of your rating system it would make it easier to respond. If you could also provide your ranking of high level A and C as well as low level A and C it would also be enlightening. If you have time you could also give a top ten ranking of NCAA D1 2 and 3. You could break it down to high level D1 and low level D1 also.

No one cares. AA, A, high B low c. Just go watch lyour kids lacrosse games and STFU.

Amen to that. No one cares about how good your team is. Nor do any colleges in 6th grade. So enjoy the ride. Stop belittling other teams and parents.

Another idiot who thinks the entirety of A level lacrosse on LONG ISLAND would consist of just three teams! It's a totally asinine approach to ranking ever - and in every other MATURE sport, similar team talents would never be grouped as such. Lacrosse as a sport does not have something a authentic it that makes it different in that respect. Which is to say, there is no argument to be made that supports such a ranking.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought the purpose of 11 yo lacrosse was to learn and get better. Well that's exactly what this team did. When I read the comments on here about the team and parents we just laugh at you and wonder how pathetic your life must be. We are thankful we don't have to deal with any of you on the sidelines during the year. I hope your kids all have a great experience with their team and they all do well. I'm not sure any of the parents that post on here will ever be happy with the team their kids play for. And a majority of your kids will probably not even be playing lacrosse in 2 or 3 yrs from now. But please keep posting, We need the laughs. Thanks again. Mike

What teams were " supposed to beat us" "next WP" ? Is that what your coach told you? Outlaws Gold played in low level B tournaments and played some 4th grade teams at NXT. Give us a break

I was not really bragging about how great this team was. I was saying it's a good team, with good coaching and the kids enjoy it. Which is kinda what 11 yo lax is about. But I guess you are all about t shirts and rankings. So, What's a low level B? Is there a high level B? Who would you judge as a high level B? If you could give some examples of your rating system it would make it easier to respond. If you could also provide your ranking of high level A and C as well as low level A and C it would also be enlightening. If you have time you could also give a top ten ranking of NCAA D1 2 and 3. You could break it down to high level D1 and low level D1 also.

Another idiot who thinks the entirety of A level lacrosse on LONG ISLAND would consist of just three teams! It's a totally asinine approach to ranking ever - and in every other MATURE sport, similar team talents would never be grouped as such. Lacrosse as a sport does not have something a authentic it that makes it different in that respect. Which is to say, there is no argument to be made that supports such a ranking.

I made those rankings as I saw fit. Listen, it gets lonely in my parents basement and I have to pay a lot of money to my ex wife who lives in my house wife my sons lax coach, but it's totally worth it cause he is on a high level A team. And I am assured that he is going High D1 with a full ride. I gotta go now, mom said dinners ready. Watch for my rankings after the fall tourneys.

Thank goodness. I was worried about KK when I heard she left legs. At least he is safe now. And back on his meds

Low level D1 - Harvard? Must be freaking crazy. Let me ask you something, would you rather your son play lacrosse @ MIT and get a degree or play @ Syracuse and be on TV. Be honest. Legitimate question.

Low level from a lax competitive perspective compared to typical ACC. Clearly Harvard if your kid can handle it

You're funny but you're not. You can laugh all you want but I'm guessing that's how you go through life and your sons would never be MIT material. Which is fine but some are.

Since they are a new club for the other grades they are taking anybody who went to tryouts. There were no legit evaluations. They needed to fill the roster.

There are some real solid kids on the team but yes, they needed to fill the bottom of the roster too

Not sure if the "solid kids" will be able to balance off the bottom half of this team. We opted to stay with another team after we heard a few kids that my son plays with on PAL were going there. They are good kids and so are the parents but for the price I'm not going to pay for my son to play with kids that are not good at catching or throwing. I wish them the best of luck in their first season.

I agree, but you take the chance in season one and look to upgrade in the future. There will be plenty of practices and solid coaching so as long as the boys are getting better I'm fine with it.

I think they try to build a core, get some recognition and next year upgrade. The first year is always the toughest. Went through this with my oldest son and his team. The core will stay and the "bottom end" will be on another team next season. Some of these kids filling the rosters will be in over their head but that is where coaching comes in to play. You can't have kids out there in tight games that can't catch. The "bottom end" kids will practice and get better and appreciate the opportunity to play with kids that have more skill as they improve throughout the season. When we went through this the parents were told that their kids should be playing wall ball and practicing more. Some kids did and improved and began to contribute to the team. When it works out it's nice to see a kid that puts in the effort get better and stay on a team.

I found where all the experts hang out... I am so grateful.

'experts'

Anyone know is 91 got enough commitments to field 2nd team?

No

I wish i could print the 2019 thread on here from a few years back, all the same comments about kids and now they have all grown up. Some of the not so good kids are now 6'3 and fast as [lacrosse] and are leading their teams, while some of the chosen ones are no longer playing because their A-Hole parents pushed them too hard and now they are pushing back. Just sayin, a lot will change over the next few years. Enjoy the ride and more importantly enjoy your kids, cause when they hit 11th grade they are a little less enjoyable. Rock on rock and rollers.

If Mike Taylor is coaching Legacy B I would go there . Guy runs great practices and will make kids better plus the opportunity to practice with Taz

As a person that has also been through this entire process I can tell you that as a rule, not much changes between now and 12th grade. The A players in 5th grade are the A players in 12th grade. Same for B players. Are there exceptions to that? Absolutely. But that is the exception. Not the rule. From my experience, this scenario is accurate over 90% of the time.

As a person who has had three boys play lacrosse, the first in the class of 2010 and the last in 2024, I can tell you that you are absolutely WRONG. While some "A" players will remain "A" players, many things will change in the next 5 years as the boys reach puberty. many players will stop playing. Players that were considered "A" or "C" players will mature and become dominant athletes and there will be some boys that don't even start playing lax until 7th, 8th or 9th grade that will pass many players and be the "A" players in years to come. Anyone that pigeon-holes a kid at 10 or 11 years old and thinks that he has hit his prime already has no clue what they are talking about.

The comment was in response to the post from 10:09 AM this morning "I wish I could print the 2019 thread...". Many people seem to think that everything will change in the next few years as these kids mature. I see similar comments on BOTC all the time. I am compelled to say that has not been my experience and I don't believe that to be true. My experience, as both a coach and a parent has been that very little changes. Your best players now will be the best players in high school. Your role players now will be role players in high school. There are exceptions, but they are pretty rare.

What's your point here?

From also somebody who has been through this. More like 50%. And it's completely different now. Only handful played year round, and that was as little as 5 years ago. Now everyone does. Kids are quitting other sports like soccer and football in the fall for lax. Huge mistake.

HUGE mistake I agree 100% - not playing football or soccer is a big mistake if Lax is your #1 sport. and yes 50% is probably a good number.

Really?
Look at 2022 smash team
How many of those kids, who were beating teams 1 and 2 years up as grade school kids are even starters on any team as 8th graders.
Puberty, it's a great equalizer

I don't know anything about Smash other than they are still in Middle School so they hardly qualify as an example for another 4-5 years.

I'm sure some folks will disagree with my assessment but that has been my experience as a player, coach and parent who has gone through the process.

Athletes are athletes whatever age they are at. That rarely changes with time.

In reference to your puberty comment, lacrosse is not football. While size is certainly a nice asset, it's absolutely not a prerequisite to success in lacrosse.

Since contact was taken out of the sport, size is not much of a factor. Skill, speed, quickness and IQ are the determining factors. Not size.

I don't see how that is even an arguable point by simply looking at any lacrosse team at any level. It's very obvious some of the best players on basically every team are some of the smallest players.

I respect your point of view, although I see it as more the exception and not the rule.

That's my experience.

Some of the best players on basically ever team are some of the smallest players? Are you high? Yes there are great players that are small, but at this age group if you saying that the best players are the smallest, then your either blind or just stupid.

Puberty isn't going to help the kids on these teams that can't catch or throw. It's not going to help them pick up a ground ball. Kids still need lacrosse skills. That's not to say they can't be developed but to think puberty will be the great "equalizer" is wrong. They will just be bigger and still can't catch or throw.

Read the post and comment on the post. Don't make crap up. The post said SOME of the best players on every team are some of the smallest players. So you agree.

Now I'll respond to your second comment. I was not specifically referring to this age group. I was referring to all of lacrosse, which again is exactly what I posted, so try to keep up.

However, since you brought it up, let's talk about this age group since it is a perfect example, although it sounds like you are not very familiar with the teams.

A very simple question for you. What are the two best teams on LI at this age? You dont have to answer since anyone that is associated with lacrosse at this age, across the country, knows the answer to that question. There isn't another team anywhere close to either team with one possible exception, which based on play to date, hasn't been close either. Just closer than the rest.

Now, if you are familiar with both teams then you know they are both small teams. The vast majority of their top talent are small.

So the two best teams, by far, are some of the smallest teams at this age group. If you disagree with that you are "either blind or just stupid."

Your size myth is dispelled, based on your example. This age group.

And don't respond with, it's all going to change blah blah blah. This is a response to your comment about present day 2024 teams.

Now, I suggest you find a new website that talks about something that you are familiar with, because lacrosse is obviously a foreign language to you.

<yawn>

What are you talking about? The more talented players are smaller? Talented meaning the kids who score? Attack kids are smaller for most part. Why are teams going after big middies? News flash because in close games in where it counts who do you think will get the ball? As for smaller vs larger. If you even look at just the wp and taz teams. Prob even 91md and madlax too. The defenders are typically the taller and bigger kids. As a group the most athletic too. The defenders on thoses team will dominate their attack teammates.

Is that why Taz just brought in biggie middies and sent kids from last year to launch?

Stay on topic. It's your topic. I understand that you realize you no longer have a leg to stand on, but we are referring to Actual performance not what you think might happen this year or in the future.

Since you didn't argue it, I guess you agree that the 2 best teams at this age are small teams, to this point. So lack of size has not hurt them at all.

Now, to your last pout, saying that Taz has a new big ringer from the Outlaws/Sachem and is totally revamping their team is rediculous. We don't even know if he will get significant playing time at this point. His pedigree certainly is not an indicator that he would. If you knew anything about either of those programs, you wouldn't be making the comment. I do wish him nothing but the best.

And what "small" impact players have been demoted? Numbers please, not names.

I didn't see anything in your post about WP. What biggie players are they bring in????

Friend, you are clueless about this sport and this age group. Stop posting your mindless posts because some people actually go to this website looking for valuable information.

Express isn't Taz but they did the same. They brought in big and either moved the tiny ones down to 2025 if they could or just got rid of them all together. We'll see if it helps.

Couldnt agree more. The defense kids, both close and poles, are bigger and more athletic. When you talk talent you must give these boys credit. Everyone always seems because a kid scores goals he is talented.

People come here for info? On 11/12 yo lax? Are they now on draft kings? Did you actually say "his pedigree"? He is 11/12 years old. How do you know what his pedigree is? I don't disagree with your posts about size. But you sound like a complete tool talking about youth lacrosse like your running down the NFL draft.

You talk about smaller kids like these teams have a bunch of 50lb kids out there. The teams you speak of have average to slightly above average size at each position. They don't have the biggest kids, but they are far from the smallest. Unless your idea of small is 75 to 90lbs.

Never said Taz was bigger than WP. Said they were overall, about the same, size wise. Which is accurate.

And WP and Taz games last year, were about split as I recall, with the last one going to WP.

So once again your obsession with size doesn't add up.

They are 2 very well matched and very good teams.

Teams look for good lacrosse players, not big players. Don't get me wrong, if there is a big player that has the skills and the IQ, obviously that's attractive. However, players like that are rare to say the least. No coach goes out looking for size over skill, speed and IQ.

But you keep preaching how size is the key to lacrosse, but unfortunately you don't have a single fact to support that claim. It's obvious you have no knowledge of the game.

And by "bottom end" how many are you referring to? Where is their roster posted that you know this? Should we just count this new team out before they get started with training and practice??? Or are they not ready for that either?

Since they are a new club for the other grades they are taking anybody who went to tryouts. There were no legit evaluations. They needed to fill the roster.

There are some real solid kids on the team but yes, they needed to fill the bottom of the roster too

Not sure if the "solid kids" will be able to balance off the bottom half of this team. We opted to stay with another team after we heard a few kids that my son plays with on PAL were going there. They are good kids and so are the parents but for the price I'm not going to pay for my son to play with kids that are not good at catching or throwing. I wish them the best of luck in their first season.

Thanks Mrs Moon

You guys realize you are arguing over whose son's 6th grade team is better, right?

I get a kick out of reading these posts. Here are 2 things. 1. Size matters to an extent. 2 kids. 1 is "small" and 1 is "big" smaller kid is slightly better. Club will pick the bigger kid. Because a coach can improve a kids skill, but not his size. So yes, 1st thing coaches look at before a kid gets on the field is his size. 2. There are only 2 catagories of teams. A and B. That's it's. While like every sport some A teams are better than others. While Taz and WP stand out as the top 2. There are about 20 A teams on LI. Even if a team plays in a B bracket. They could be an A team. Remember that this is 11 year old lax. These kids want to compete but they also want to have fun. Getting your [lacrosse] kicked every week just to play the better A teams is not fun. If your entering good tournaments on a regular basis it's ok to play in the B bracket. That does not make a team a B team. Sorry pack daddies and Taddies.

Couldn't agree more about your A and B comments - unfortunately, the AA folks feel like the lax world is their little country club, and they want a say on any new members, which is to really say, they don't want anyone new! The lax 'peasantry' needs to be kept down!

IQ with the WP and Taz is off the charts compared to other LI 2024 Teams. They are coached better as well.

As the parent of a 2024. It is honestly a pleasure watching WP and Taz pass the ball around. No other teams in the tristate even come close to that level of team play. I know other teams beat them both from time to time , but they both work well as a team

Cue the annoying Madlax guy

Madlax crushes all of you guys. Your talk is meaningless.

As for the WP and Taz parents, you should take a look into how manyplayers on 91 Crush now are the same as 91 Crush in 5th grade. Not sure if you know this, but there will only be a small portion of the 5th grade roster left by then. And most of the change won't because they left by choice. So for everybody clamoring about how Taz and WP are the best, most of your boys will be cut in the coming 4 yrs. You might not see it yet, but it's coming ...

I know kids on this team that can't catch or throw, will rake ground balls and have no weak hand skills. I agree with the previous statements. Definitely not travel ready.

Bad example...the core of Crush is the same it was since 3 red grade

Potentiality beats actuality in the world of youth travel lacrosse. So no matter how much you pay, grind and do in the end doesn't hold up. These AA teams want to turn over the bottom guys every year to keep the revenue streams coming. New people may equal new siblings.

Another bad example. WP hasn't cut anyone since the end of grade 2, when your boy was still wearing pull-ups, sucking on the boob. Likely wont cut anyone again, either.

Try another one. So far you are 0 for.......

You are more annoying than the Madlax guy, with all your BS.

The middie from outlaw team played on outlaw gold. He is now with taz. Best of luck hope he gets what he is looking for.

The coach of Outlaw Gold is by far the best Outlaw coach for the middle school grades in the organization.

Coach, I wouldn't go that far pal.

top two middies at igloo had offers at taz. will regret not leaving.

Stop. Igloo kids are good b player at best. Please stop

That isnt saying much at all... My question is what r u going to do now that your only decent player left? Let's be honest, without that boy your team wasn't good at all. A boy from my town was on that team and could barely catch a ball...

I am sure PB will be on here yapping about how awesome they are but everyone knows there product is subpar....

Decisions aren't based solely on the level of lacrosse. I know that is hard to believe but if a family lives in Manhasset, Igloo is much more convenient to get to.

There was no kid on the team that could not catch. The middie that left was a dynamic player. But he was not the only decent player on the team. They will do well without him.

What if the family lives west, traveling out east in the spring during rush hour for practices after school. I wouldn't take my kid off Igloo.

You non-Taz parents are raining on their parade. Stop posting things that Taz (or WP) may not be the "Be All - End All" 2024 lacrosse team. That not every parent/kid plays SOLELY to be on the "BEST" team! Shame on al of you!

Great for attack but any offense kid and D kid will better doing so. The guy can coach and will improve your lax IQ no matter what team you play on.None Taz parent here.

Maybe their kids are happy with where they are? "Offers at Taz" Give me a break. These are YOUNG kids.

Happy kids don't try out for other teams.

Not true - I know many kids that do tryouts to: 1. assess where they stand, 2. use other tryouts as warm ups for their own current team's tryouts, and, 3. parents/coaches that use other try outs to assess another team's talent. Some of this may be crazy, but this is what it is . . .

Number 3 - I guess this is how some of the BOTC crazies "rank" the teams and seem to know way to much about other teams

wow not signing with TAZ - is that like saying you dont want to play for the Yankees?

Have to agree with you on that. But I confused the 2024 with the 2023 team last year during a tournament, the team had a coach with white framed sunglasses acting like a complete lunatic on the sidelines, I thought we were playing his team, but come to find out they were not 2024.

please get a [lacrosse] life.....They were a good team....teams catch up....please stop with saying how great this team is 11 year old boys....my sons basketball team and football team is great...blah blah blah...

The sad part of it there are plenty on these boards that DON"T know there are no full rides, hence why sarcasm doesn't fully work here. And if you don;t believe there are some whi believe in full rides, you should peruse some of the older age boards, especially from last spring, when the specific subject came up, and see the arguments . . . some went on for weeks!

Omg. That's the 2023 gold coach. The parents from his team wanted to kick his [lacrosse]. Awful coach, awful human.

So far Igloo, Outlaws, True Blue and Legacy have posted they will attend Blatant. Any others?

Now its the 2023 Coach with White Sunglasses . Please get facts straight. You obviously are a scared person who has left the Outlaws . Will bash Outlaws coaches at each opportunity you can. If you had any idea about either team you would know kids and parents liked Coaching staffs but cant always make everyone happy

I remember seeing that coach last year, AWFUL to say the least!, please don't confuse him with JR.

You all are a bunch of fools ...

Knocked out by the pack in the semis. Outplayed, out hustled, outlaxed. The " give the ball to the big kid" play didn't work.

Because those parents don't want their kids to actually play on a team labeled as B but that is what they are. One tournament and they will see.

Define AA versus A versus B . . . and try some solid supporting logic for why!

They will be playing B at Blatant.

18 practices in Sept/Oct so at least the training will be there. Outside of Taz/WP who many team will get that much practice over the next 2 months? I'll guess none

Express North? Who gives a [lacrosse]. They are awful. Terrible team

Why does it matter so much? Pathetic. Let the kids compete and just shut your mouths and enjoy the tournaments. "Your kid's team isn't as good as my kid's". What a loser you are! Your kid probably has no idea you're on here acting like an [lacrosse]!!

By putting down other teams parents validate to themselves that they made the right choice in their sons team and the money they spent is worth it.... let me say what most are thinking when they type "Team A sucks because my son is on Team B and I spent $3000 so in order for me to feel good I have to put down a group of other 11 year old boys". I have seen it a million times.

it matters because there is a lot of money involved, so coming on here and ranting and raving is a way to make oneself feel good about how much they just spent

You mean that crooked joke of a tourney where MM rigged everything so that it was an all 9d1 final. Give me a break. You've got to be kidding. Madlax played 9d1NY couple of weeks later on level playing field at HHH and beat them solidly. Madlax played 9d1MD twice this summer and crushed them by wide margin. Proves how much MM stacked things at his own tourney.

Level playing field , they still played head to head. WP won. You are arguing about scheduling. Lol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but head to head WP vs Madlax, WP won more than they lost. Probably something like 6 wins and 3 loses. Madlax is real good, no question and they have beaten WP at times. Like I said though , WP wins most of the times they play head to head.

There are a bunch of kids on S2S that were on "A" teams last year and for whatever reason decided to give S2S a try. My son was on a"B" team and is looking forward to playing with better players. Isn't that the point at this age to have fun and get better?

Express A sucks

Middle school has started lets up our games here and really start bashng other teams and kids, crank it up a notch parents you pay all this money you should be able to come on here and tell us which 11 year old boys you think suck... come on lets hear it.

express A added many new kids...why dont you wait till you see how they play on the field during the fall tournaments...you must hate your life to bash a program..guessing ur kid got cut from that team..just a guess

Dude, you don't get it. The refs were in MM's back pocket all weekend long. Real travesty. Correct me if I am wrong. WP has only beaten Madlax three times. Two were at Laxfest, when Madlax didn't have its full squad, and Madlax had to play Taz and WP back-to-back. Talk about unfair. And the only other time was at MM's tourney where MM wanted to make his boss look good, and Madlax was missing two starters. You were probably at the HHH championship game. You saw it with your own eyes. Madlax beat WP solidly.

King Craftsmans... always with the excuses. Mad lax is a joke. Every time your team loses there is excuse, after excuse, after excuse. The reason why they lose is not because they don't have their full squad, it's because Madlax 2024 team in solely based around 1 player. If you play against them enough, a good coach will shut that player down, and game over.You know it, you're coach knows it, in fact he's said as much, and all teams are catching on to it. Can't wait to hear the excuses this year. Hope you come up with something new because this line is old news. Now, go soak you're dentures you toothless hick, put you're kids to bed, so you're wife can go to her second job at the Camelot to pay for little Johnny's lax lessons.

Yes they do. Who did you hear from? Did you call the Express and they told you so? Please enlighten us so we can hear as well.

Madlax loser. I'm sure your boys are all great kids, but the parents reputation as trailor trash losers appears to be well earned, based on your unending, classless antics. "Dude" you really need to get a life. You have nothing else going on in your life where you stalk the northeasts thread?? Does it really matter that much to you which 11 year old team is the best?! News flash! There are about 4-5 top teams that could beat each other on any given day. If you don't realize that, then you are delusional as well as a scum bag. That was as of July. Now, that's ancient history, and they all start over from square one. We'll see what happens, but things could easily change alot. Do yourself a favor. Do something with your life, while there is still time. Loser.

Funny, they were missing kids,the refs weren't fair, the schedule wasn't fair, three shots hit the post,the coach had a headache, the water at halftime wasn't cold,etc. Bottom line is,you are what your record says you are,like coach parcells said. Head to head they have a losing record. Get over it. It no big deal, it's just that when you make those ridiculous Madlax comments, many of us no the truth.

If your kid isn't on Express then why do you care.If your kid left than good luck in your greener pasture. Kids leave programs all the time. Plenty of good players came on too. Coach was happy about many of those kids leaving believe me..
Say Hi, on the sidelines.....

instead of fighting which of the 4 'top' teams are best around i would like to ask an actual question.... i am new to this and would like to know what the best place to find info about tournaments is...someone told me tourney machine, is there another that i could use?

And this is new news? It's all about the $ and who you know. Read older grades. It's finally hit this year. So obvious with who they kept this year. Stay away and find coaches that actually care about the kids. There are some out there. Express is awful.

What are you actually looking for? Top elite toruneys? Local tourneys? Fall or Spring Tourneys? Usually the top tourneys are put on by the top clubs. Take a look at what tourneys the tops clubs A teams are playing in and compare with other top clubs. Tourney Machine is great but usually not updated to a week before a tourney. You can always search last years tourneys but if you are "new to this" and don't really know what to look for it will be difficult.

Noticed I used the word "many" and not "all". That guy is still "ONE" of the best coaches in the age bracket.
Yes he was spread thin last year, I agree. "MY" kid likes him and learns a lot from him. If the parents had issue, then move on and be happy somewhere else...Next...

5 Express teams plus St Anthony's freshman. He will miss half your sons tournament games. Plenty of availability at Storm though...can't miss those

Next? Stop defending the big guy? He's STILL spread too thin. Four teams instead of five. That's only because the C team folded. Plus St. Anthony's and all his clinics. It's a bunch of bull! You claim he's one of the best coaches. If he was such a great coach and cared for the kids he wouldn't take on all that. It's the Express way. And the $$$.

i am looking for any and all tournaments, local, A level...whatever, i guess there is no central location that lists all tournaments?

Now lets not be silly. The big guy was not happy about all of the kids that moved on. [/quote]

I am sure S2S will be so much better.. Lol. Why do you care anymore? Nobody cares you left.Says more about you that you left and now throw hate then it does about if the coach has a busy schedule. If you had a set of balls you would have said something to the coaches face. I guess you were too busy kissing his a$$. Everyone is a tuff guy on the keyboard but wouldn't say boo in person.

Keep chasing the dream, word of advice have a better attitude on your new "A" team. Your kid will hate you soon if you don't...

Damn, that's a lot of ink for a B/C team with a coach that doesn't even bother to show up to playoff games.

Because those parents don't want their kids to actually play on a team labeled as B but that is what they are. One tournament and they will see.

What parents? A bunch of the kids were on A teams last year and could have been again this year. My son knows a few of them but we stayed with our "B" team. After TAZ and WP and probably Express A (and maybe Igloo?) the rest of the teams will be murky with "B" players and yes from what I have seen with my Son's as advertised B team "C" players to fill rosters.

Wrong team Mommy...nice try though

As a Madlax parent, I can vouch that none of the dads are toothless hicks. One is a renowned oral surgeon. Another is the top orthodontist for NoVa. So with the team discounts, we are pretty good in that department. I am going to have to do some research and get back to you whether any of the moms work at Camelot. Keep hating!

Based on the attire on the sidelines it appears they came straight from working the center pole. As for your renowned oral surgeon, maybe he can wire your mouths shut at a discount before each tournament so the rest of us can watch the game in peace.

Yeah, your wife is hot.... a HOT. FREAKING. MESS! In fact, if my dog was as busted as some of those heckling hyenas, I'd shave its [lacrosse] and walk it backwards. Trust me I don't hate you… I pity you. It's like watching a remake of the Deliverance!

Ooh, cutting edge comedy. Kind of funny to talk to a Washington, D.C. dad about mobile homes when Long Island is the king of crappy tats and carports.

Ummmm - I've lived on Long Island my entire life and haven't see too many carports - maybe you should learn more about other places, or just get out in general more.

WP is the king of white trash. It is worse than watching "Tatoo Nightmares." You know you can get them removed now. And don't get me started on the chain smoking mom that moans like a heifer in heat.

Bu

I must have hit a nerve, but I don't think I hit that nerve with the "Day 1" bullets (well, maybe the last one stung a bit).
I think your real pain is coming from my observation that you are living through your son ...... I can spot clowns like you a mile away.

Also, I'm not a TAZ or WP parent (great programs, BTW) and I'm not even from Long Island.

I have not seen a carport in LI. I guess they exist around the hotels you stay in when you bring your broke [lacrosse] family up here. Last time your team came up your wives scared the crap out of the kids. They never saw baboons outside their cage before. Can you at least chain them to your tent next time.

Seriously can the BOTC administrator clamp down on this nonsense. This is supposed to be a place to get honest ( like it nor not) info on our kids lax journey. Whatever this is turning into is shameful.

The fact that these people even are allowed to have children is scary.

Honestly, if that is how you get entertained I feel bad for you. Get a hobby. Typing stupid jokes to a person you don't know over a message board is pathetic. We all know that you were the only 1 responding to your own nonsense anyway.

You (the original poster) make a choice to place your son on this and come on here after one practice and complain about the team and the coach. SMH.

Or

My waist has gotten so big that I can't wear those new pants I bought, you know, the ones with the lobsters on them. What a waste!

Winners assemble as a team and losers sit in small groups and complain about the coach or players. Be a winner for your son and his teammates sake.

Not sure about that. I prefer to eat lobsters. That's the big guy that wears the lobsters but I thought this was about Schwalje.

Practice looked pretty good to me for first time out - hoping that most kids were spending time on the beach rather then Dad screaming at him to hit the ball wall. Rust should be expected. Powers was awesome.

Powers is not the coach.

On a different topic, my neighbor told me that his sons team S2S 2024 looks terrific. He said they are definitely going to be an A team. That would be nice to have a new club with a great team to compete.

There are more competitive teams out there than the 'elite' clubs want to admit - it just doesn't suit their privileged 'country club' status to admit it . . .

My son is on the team... Way to early to call it anything, but a B team.. I am sure I can speak for most parents on this team, after meeting and speaking with most on Saturday. Our intentions for joining had everything to do with getting our sons better. The calendar is filled w. practices and training. (Way more than anything we got last year) Coach is fully engaged and committed. I can careless about A/B at this point for an 10 year old. Its a great start.

They had one good well run practice so far, which is attribute to the coach who is fantastic. The kids are solid and there were lots of different travel helmets but as a parent who has a son on the team you would have to consider them a solid B team. They are NOWHERE close to the top 3-4 LI teams. Not sure if you were trying to stir the pot or not but most parents seemed happy after the first practice. The boys will be back at it tonight.

Agreed, and anything other than the above is just someone just looking to stir up trouble. Most parents sent their kids to this team for the training/coaching, not to get ranked by some crazy loons on BOTC.

Herein lies the problem with youth lacrosse and even people not associated with the elite teams perpetuate it - continually saying that if you are not one of the top 3 - 4 teams, then that team is then "B". Think about that a little . . .

So if you are not in the A division in a fall tournament you won't be an A team? What about those A teams that lose all the time are they still considered an A team? Ridiculous to think that a team is "afraid". Every team even the top 2 are going to take their losses, but hopefully learn and grow from them. That's what is supposed to happen with a team at this age or any age for that matter. It's only 11 year old lacrosse. Now maybe if they played in the dark during a thunderstorm some kids may be "afraid" but losing a lacrosse game? I don't think so.

Just don't think the boys need to play WP and Taz in their first tourney. I'm sure they will play plenty of A in the Spring/Summer but Fall is about figuring out what you have. Getting Steamrolled by the top dog sin the fall won't help development.

Many kids on this S2S team are very average, which is totally fine. The real problems are a couple of the parents expectations are insanely out of whack. That is why some of these boys (not all) had to find new homes. It was more the parents wanting there boys looked at with a fresh set of eyes because there last coaches knew what they had.

There is a ton of chatter on this site about this brand new team because some of these S2S parents are upset there kids weren't so great on there last teams.Now they feel the need to either bash the old teams or pump up the new team. Either way, this is a classic case of the parents should leave the boys alone and keep your mouth closed.

So true!

That was a father from s2s trying to validate his kid is supposedly on an A team. Lol yeah my neighbor told me. Do not put silly posts out there like that. People see right through buddy.

Pot stirrers! The majority of the posts about any team probably aren't even from parents on the team. They are just fishing for comments. Have fun. Get better. Quit being an online bully on BOTC.

Most people on here think Taz and WP are the only A teams. There will be A teams in both divisions.

don't MOST of the travel program coaches coach either some form of HS or college? Otherwise he is a PAL Daddy coach]

I'm not sure if it's most, but there are a lot. Here is the issue with it though. For the amount we all pay and the time and commitment it consumes(kids and parents). I would like a coach committed to the program and the kids. If they are a good coach that runs a structured practice I don't care if they're a Dad coach or not. When they have a coach commitment to a school and missing spring practice or tourneys then you are not getting what you paid for.

Outlaws had Isaac Neil on their payroll last year and didn't ask him to return this year. Last year we didn't see his presence at any of our practices, even though he was listed as middle school player development/board member. My son did a winter clinic with him last year when he was with the outlaws(paid clinic) and we didn't think it was worth the time/money. Lastly, we didn't even see him when H.S. lacrosse was finished last year. But hey, quality is in the eye of the beholder. Beware!

Coach Neal has been training my son for a few years, so I feel the need to defend him on behalf of my son and all he's done for him....he chose to leave outlaws, the Select coaches didnt want him there or care to hear his ideas (ego). We were at the clinic, looked like he was running it himself with 4-5 other guys just standing around talking....can't speak on why he wasn't there after HS, other than maybe he was getting out and ready to help run S2S? If you're buying what he's selling, your son will be just fine

Just a clarification. Last season Bobby Moltisanti was in charge of player development for this age group and still is.

Moltisanti was in charge of youth development, Neal was in charge of middle school. Not sure what those titles detailed.

Remember everyone it's a business. Figure out which business model is best for your son and family and stop bashing the rest.
Any good coach is going to have other commitments. Make sure you like the assistant coaches as well. They work as a team, just as the kids work as a team. They all need to gel together.
I prefer to use message boards form helpful information, not reading about bashing coaches, parents and worst of all kids!

I don't think anyone is bashing coaches. Just passing along buyer beware. Not everything is as advertised. If that's not useful then I'm not sure what on here is. How can you work as a team if one guy is not there? No one is paying for assistant coaches, that's why a lot are not even advertised before you pay.

Well prior to the spring even beginning the team will already have had 40+ practice sessions under their belt. Schwajie will have maybe a dozen. Not comparing the talent on the teams, Just the training provided by the clubs. Of course you can train at $80 an hour with all the best MLL stars, or Channy's son for additional training.

40+ before spring? That's a lot. Especially since there is only about 30 weeks before spring tournaments start. With holidays that's almost 2 a week. How much is indoor training during the winter to go 1 1/2 - 2 hrs 2 times a week?

Assume B

So if you are not in the A division in a fall tournament you won't be an A team? What about those A teams that lose all the time are they still considered an A team?

Most people on here think Taz and WP are the only A teams. There will be A teams in both divisions.

They are the only true A-Teams on Long Island in this division. Yes there are other A teams in Maryland but not on LI. How can I say this? Except for when the WP and Taz play each other the games are usually beat downs. WP and Taz are great punch for punch games against each other. When they play these other so-called A teams they blow them out. Nothing wrong with being a B team and being competitive,but in no way have they competed against these two teams...yet. It's like anything else in life "beat them and then talk" . Don't claim to be an A team and never beat an A team

Your 7 fall practices are extra. Which is only 1 per week. So in the 20 weeks of winter they are gonna have 35 practices? For what $1000?

"40+ before spring? That's a lot. Especially since there is only about 30 weeks before spring tournaments start. With holidays that's almost 2 a week. How much is indoor training during the winter to go 1 1/2 - 2 hrs 2 times a week?"

Winter is included in the overall cost. 1 1/2 hr sessions at the Hub..17 sessions

Who are the coaches?

check their website

Doesn't say who is coaching. Only says Isaac Neil. And 1 thing I will tell you. When you have a high school lacrosse coach that coaches club. Good luck finding him come spring. Ask schwajle parents. So, who is coaching?

Well prior to the spring even beginning the team will already have had 40+ practice sessions under their belt. Schwajie will have maybe a dozen.

18 Fall Practices (Sept/Oct and yes, some weeks will have 4 pracitces)
7 Club Position focused training Sessions (Sept-Oct)
17 Winter Session Nov-March (90 minutes per at Hub)

Sure it will be lighter in the Spring but that's 40+ leading up to it. Hard to argue with this for a "new" team

So if you are not in the A division in a fall tournament you won't be an A team? What about those A teams that lose all the time are they still considered an A team? Ridiculous to think that a team is "afraid". Every team even the top 2 are going to take their losses, but hopefully learn and grow from them. That's what is supposed to happen with a team at this age or any age for that matter. It's only 11 year old lacrosse. Now maybe if they played in the dark during a thunderstorm some kids may be "afraid" but losing a lacrosse game? I don't think so.[/quote]
Just don't think the boys need to play WP and Taz in their first tourney. I'm sure they will play plenty of A in the Spring/Summer but Fall is about figuring out what you have. Getting Steamrolled by the top dog sin the fall won't help development. [/quote]

Most people on here think Taz and WP are the only A teams. There will be A teams in both divisions. [/quote]

They are the only true A-Teams on Long Island in this division. Yes there are other A teams in Maryland but not on LI. How can I say this? Except for when the WP and Taz play each other the games are usually beat downs. WP and Taz are great punch for punch games against each other. When they play these other so-called A teams they blow them out. Nothing wrong with being a B team and being competitive,but in no way have they competed against these two teams...yet. It's like anything else in life "beat them and then talk" . Don't claim to be an A team and never beat an A team
[/quote]

This is a ridiculous assessment - it's like saying the two NFL teams that play in the Superbowl are the ONLY true pro football teams. WP and TAZ are elite, but by no means the only A teams. Because they are elite, yes, they will put a beat down on most other teams A teams. But, these other A teams go to tournaments and basically beat up on most of the other teams they play, which is why they are still clearly A, just not elite. In a sensible talent assessment system, the categories for lacrosse should be A and B, with AA being a subset of A, not a tier in of itself. If youth lax ever gets its act together, maybe it could go to a three tier talent assessment system, like youth hockey, but it would do well to go to at least a more accurate tow-tier system today, which would NOT BE two teams (or a even a very small handful) in A, and then everyone else, which is the stupid ID perpetuated on this and other aged boards! There is nothing special about lax as a sport that makes this stupid idea rational, and between Long Island and Maryland, even less so!

We know WP and Taz are great 2024 programs, where does LI Express fall into the mix? Who is their coach?

That's a great value. But 4 practices a week? And 6th grade homework? Plus football? I will speak only for me. My sons team does 2 a week now. That's enough. I'm curious to how many kids are making 3 or 4 a week practices?

Any good coach is going to have other commitments. Make sure you like the assistant coaches as well. They work as a team, just as the kids work as a team. They all need to gel together.
I prefer to use message boards form helpful information, not reading about bashing coaches, parents and worst of all kids!

I don't think anyone is bashing coaches. Just passing along buyer beware. Not everything is as advertised. If that's not useful then I'm not sure what on here is. How can you work as a team if one guy is not there? No one is paying for assistant coaches, that's why a lot are not even advertised before you pay.

No one is bashing this particular coach. Opinions were given on both sides. If the guy never showed up to practices as the player middle school developmental coach due to his H.S. commitment, how is that bashing the guy?

Lastly, we didn't even see him when H.S. lacrosse was finished last year. But hey, quality is in the eye of the beholder. Beware!

Coach Neal has been training my son for a few years, so I feel the need to defend him on behalf of my son and all he's done for him....he chose to leave outlaws, the Select coaches didnt want him there or care to hear his ideas (ego). We were at the clinic, looked like he was running it himself with 4-5 other guys just standing around talking....can't speak on why he wasn't there after HS, other than maybe he was getting out and ready to help run S2S? If you're buying what he's selling, your son will be just fine

Sounds like the above post was written by Neal.

Not sure why you keep posting. No one really cares? Maybe you are trying to prove you made the better decision? Good luck to you.
Enough already with comparing S2S to Schwalje. No one cares! Except for you.

Typical BOTC pot stirrer! Go yell at your son for not doing his 500 reps off wall ball before school, jerk0ff.

There were a number of last year's Express kids who left and went to S2S. This is where all this S2S nonsense is coming from. I am sure the attack Dad who is a lunatic and had issue with his coach is talking all this crap. They left Express in a huff and are now bashing the club and mouthing off about his practice schedule... My ears are bleeding at this point. NOBODY CARES about this....

So over the top - that is too much for an 11 year old unless he is doing NOTHING else. Which is exactly what coaches are discouraging!

Looks like most people are annoyed by these nonsense posts about a new teams practice schedule. The only 1's posting are the parents trying justify there move to a new team. Lil Bobby's playing time was going to get chopped with new kids taking there spots.

Finally - others who get it! And this is the case for pretty much EVERY age group on Long Island. Unfortunately reality doesn't sit well with the Lax 'elite' - they don't want the 'hoi polloi' encroaching upon their 'club'.

Eclipse in CT beat taz this year. Fluke maybe, but I think every year, the gap will get tighter

Launch was getting ripped and people were writing they couldn't even field a team but now they are an "A" team. My son is on one of the"A" teams and if his time was cut I would consider a change. From someone that actually played D1 (although not much) kids at this age only get better by playing in games. Yes practice is important but they need game experience. If a parent moved their kid because someone took their spot I understand why they would leave. What good is winning a t shirt if you are riding the bench? The focus is for these kids to get better and have fun playing a great sport. Rankings and "A" and "B" labels at this age will mean absolutely nothing if the individual player does not progress with their development. So for all the Dads that are so hung up on all the labels, in a few months you will be able to coach your town PAL team and showcase your little Rabil and give him all the playing time but remember in a few years even if he is on an A team he may be riding the bench in HS.

I get that the labels are meaningless in the sense that you're bringing up, but what you are missing is that a lack meaningful classification is a prime symptom of the immature and disorganized nature of youth lacrosse. A system with proper classification would allow for teams to better determine tournaments and opponents, which would provide for better player development and experience. It is why other sports have all gone this route, and a significant step in why they are better organized.

Forming a spring league for club with divisions based on a teams level of play could be nice. Have a championship format. Then do the tourneys in July.

By everyone you mean the 5 or 6 disgruntled parents that left those programs? Most are not hung up on labels. But you cannot say that Taz and WP are the only A teams. They are the best A teams in LI as of last summer. And those are them teams everyone should want to try and beat. But to lump all the other teams into a B category is just crazy. Just like in every other sport, there are a bunch of teams in a category. But some are better than others.

Not so sure. Few Taz kids from last year were dropped down.

That Madlax guy is probably a 16 year old kid, who has a little brother on the 6th grade Madlax team. No way that's an adult.

Or it is someone that has no connection to Madlax. Probably someone paid by BOTC to periodically stir the pots.

That's just dumb. While those 2 teams are the best A teams. There are many more A teams than just 2.

yes, those 2 guys are AA. Gotta put Express, Igloo, Outlaws, Longboards and I'm sure a few more in the A category

Put true blue, garden city, rvc, team LI, express green, OReilly, Launch.

Storm/Launch are a B team...we can all agree on that

Not so sure. Few Taz kids from last year were dropped down.

After WP and Taz there is Express and Igloo A possibly. Everyone else mentioned previously (Outlaws, TB, O'Reilly, Launch, GC, RVC, S2S, 24) on the next "A-B" tier. All those other clubs like Sharks and Bluefish, etc are low "B to C"...

Garden City was a strong outfit last year, too..... the top LI teams (yes, Taz and WP, of course) are the gold standard programs for us (I'm not from LI) all in the tri-state area ... thanks for bringing it

A bunch of the better players from GC went over to Express. Including the goalie so I'm sure that will hurt them.

There should be about 20 teams on LI for all age groups that are A - anything less than that is pure idiocy . . . or a clear lack of understanding how to organize youth sports. If this were a non lax hotbed area, less might be true, but not on LI, even if a particular class is deemed "weaker" than normal.

I mean a dozen were mentioned. Add the top towns (BBP, Commack, RVC, ESM, GC, 32, Smithtown, etc) you get to 20, There are some teams, Hitman, Bluefish, etc that can not be considered A.

There are way too many posters on BOTC at varying age groups that want to say there are only 3 - 5 (or less!) A teams on Long Island - it's maddening how stupid that is.

Yeah, people from Long Island should really be lecturing to people from Washington, D.C. about who is a lowlife. Aren't you the guys who gave us Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco?

I rest my case. You're referencing something that happened 30 years ago. Currently you are proving your ignorance, immaturity, and uneducated behavior in the "here and now". Understandable though, due to the fact that you were home-schooled in the woods. That was probably the last newspaper article that you read after your daddy/uncle stole it from the 5&10.

How can you argue that statement? (As long as we are referencing old news). You're right how can anybody from Long Island lecture someone from Washington D.C. I mean they did after all elect Marion Barry for Mayor but after reading all the vapid posts, I can understand why he was smoking crack having to deal with all his ignorant constituents from D.C.

Yes - sure, someone from the seventy-eighth (!) largest urban center trying to portray an immediate suburb of the fifth largest urban center in the world (second largest if you only consider first world countries) as being backwards . . . that flies logically! And let's not even get into murder rates in in DC or Baltimore.

what does murder rates and buttafuoco have to do with 11 yr old kids lacrosse?

Elected him twice.

After WP and Taz there is Express and Igloo A possibly. Everyone else mentioned previously (Outlaws, TB, O'Reilly, Launch, GC, RVC, S2S, 24) on the next "A-B" tier. All those other clubs like Sharks and Bluefish, etc are low "B to C"...

How many tiers do you guys want to make? There are only 2, A and B. Like a poster said previously. There are A teams that are better than others, but A teams non the less. If you really want to seperate teams then start an organization to oversee and rule on club lacrosse and place teams into divisions. Then have tournaments set for each division. But that's not gonna happen, so it will continue to be said that except for Taz and WP. All else are B and should give up lacrosse completely.

We go from posts about S2S the brand new "A" team who practices 100 times, to murder rates in Baltimore.

I think my brain is melting.......

this thread is done.. should be deleted and rebooted... talk about tournaments, which ones are good and why you like them - get crazy let us know how parking is and if there are porta potties.. more useful than the crap on here now.

There are more boys that will never play for their town team or don't even have a town team to play for - case in point is CSH, which no one would ever argue with as not being a solid, if not one of the best locale of boys playing with all kinds of top club teams. There is no relevance to towns teams and which county may or may not have better players.

There are some Town teams that practice and travel together. They can beat most club teams. And YES there a couple from Nassau!

Not at this age group. There aren't any Nassau teams that can compete with top 3-4 Suffolk teams.

pretty funny but ill put top 10 nassau teams in HS vs the top 10 suffolk teams any day. suffolk 1 is overrated

The people from DC whose kids play lacrosse do not live in DC. They live in the the MD and VA suburbs, and have 4-5 of the highest per capita income counties in the US.

There is no comparison between the DC surburbs and Long Island in terms of wealth and educational background. LI is the armpit of the US, regardless.

That's

That's actually New Jersey

HS superiority to date would depend upon the specific year being referenced, obviously, but there is no debate for this grade, We'll see what happens in the coming years, but to date, 2024 Suffolk has been far superior. No disrespect intended.

Please stop with this Suffolk BS. Plenty of Nassau kids can play at an "A' or higher. Ever hear of Garden City, Manhasset , Cold Spring Harbor all lacrosse hotbeds.

Heard of those towns, yes. However, we are referring to the 2024 grade here, not ancient history. Real A players are sparse, to say the least, from these areas. Where's the proof? Take a real look at both the town and travel teams at this age. All of the top teams are from Suffolk. End of conversation.

Too bad that most of the best club teams come from more of the middle-class working class areas around Maryland than the "ultra-rich" burbs that you refer to. If you want to start comparing those DC burb clubs - lets talk about how they do against the MnDs, Skywalkers and Heros. Which all draw kids from the mainly middle class areas. Biggest difference is those working folks have "Grit" and they pass it on to their girls. Just like on the Island.

What town are you from in Suffolk??? I am sure GC, RVC and Pequa 2024!! Have taken their fair share of t-shirts.Playing in Suffolk tournaments.vs clubs and town teams.

You think all those girls on MD best trams are working class families? LOL. Those are the girls who end up at McDonogh and other MD private schools.

The best kids in MD and VA comes from wealthy parents. They don't share anything with the blue collar families of LI.

Reminds me of all those horrible tats on the dads whose sons play for LI Outlaws. White trash.

I'm from Nassau . . . and from none of the towns you just mentioned. And I still don't know what your point was . . .

The top Suffolk 2024 town teams haven't played on grade in years, so your Pequas of Nassau don't even play them in tourneys. Lucky for them. More proof? Take 3 guesses where every player is from, on the two most dominant travel teams on LI? Hint. It ain't Nassau.

Assuming you're right (for the sake of argument, anyway!), let's really analyze this from a numerical standpoint: Nassau is a much smaller geographic area than Suffolk, and in general probably has more club options available on a relative basis. That means that from a logistical perspective, Nassau players can find many club options closer to home, IE, the talent is more spread out amongst many teams in the county (and even into Suffolk county if you live in Eastern Nassau). Suffolk, on the other hand is larger and has a more distributed population, which easily could translate into teams with more concentration of players, particularly from certain regions of Suffolk. Which is all to say that even if you're right about the top clubs on LI being from Suffolk, when you consider all of the above, it has no bearing on determining whether one county's players are predominantly better than the other's. Go spend time with your kid being a positive role model and less wasted time trying to live vicariously through him and claim who is better - they're 11 years old!

Now go get your shine box.

I kinda think "Now go get your shine box" is a little wannabe elitist as well. What exactly are you saying? It's a weird east coast thing I know but I don't see why you keep using a hard working blue collar profession as a put down.

What clubs have they beaten? The only 2 town teams I have seen in the big club tourneys were RVC and Garden City.

What county sends to the better colleges....without lacrosse? Then you can brag. Remember this - I have older kids - your son's lax career is probably over in either 2, 6 (90%), or 10 years. THEN WHAT?? Focus on the right thing please. Travel lacrosse should be for kids that love the sport. Not Daddy and Mommy bragging rights with the red cup brigade...

you want to see a great movie "Man in the Red Bandana" . important movie

Good question. What wins make these Nassau town teams so "legit"??

Know of the family-it's a heartwarming story for a tragic time in our history.

Since 1977 these are the STATE CHAMPIONS:
Suffolk:
WM- 9
West Islip- 5
SWR- 3
Sachem-2
Huntington-2
Comsewoque-2
Rocky Pt-1
Mount Sinai-1
Northport-1

Nassau:
Garden City- 6
Manhasset- 4
Cold Spring Harbor- 4
Lynbrook- 2
Wantagh- 1
Massapequa- 1
Bethpage- 1
South Side- 1
Elmont- 1
Farmingdale- 1

Id say 26 and 22 are pretty close. Bottom line Long Island has a ton of lacrosse rich schools in both Nassau & Suffolk. Stop all this non sense

Thx for doing the research, but the topic is Nassau vs Suffolk for this grade, 2024, not HS championships since the 1970's. Try to focus here. Somebody thinks Nassau has "legit" town teams at this age. Still waiting for a response as to what teams they have beaten, that qualify them as "legit". Guessing I'm going to wait a very long time for that response.

RVC, GC and Manhadset's top 16-17 players would smoke Commack, ESM, and BBP. All of the Nassau schools split up their players on multiple teams. The Suffolk schools bring their top 14 to tourneys, Sure they is good for tourneys but when HS starts those teams are toast. That's the facts.

Did I hit a nerve? Your son was one of the players that was chosen for political reasons. If your son was a good player he would have spoke to you and asked you to play for him this year. He's not warm and fuzzy but he's a solid coach but only talks to the players he thinks are worth it.

Merrick/Bellmore and Wantagh have solid teams too.

You have to remember that St Anthony's chaminade and all these other cathloic schools are full of Nassau kids. If you took them out and put them in the home towns it wouldn't be close

Smart [lacrosse]. Read the post and respond to what you read. Tough concept, I know. Never said the coach didn't talk to the kids. In fact, he did talk to a few of the kids with my kid being one of them. Although I don't think there was any interest at all since they all play on much better teams than his. What I said was he didnt talk to any of the parents, at any time, that I am aware of. Hope that I dumbed it down enough for you to understand. No disrespect to the coach intended, as I know nothing about him.

Not sure why I'm even responding to this, as Suffolk superiority at the 2024 grade is so well documented over the past several years, but what the [lacrosse]... Mr Excuses, excuses are for losers and you sir are a loser. I know you put your top 17 fanatasy team out there, since such a scenario can't be disproved. Unfortunately for you it actually does exist in the form of Nassau travel teams. What is your fantasy 17's record against our top 2 Suffolk travel teams? Nassau hasn't won a single game. In fact, there hasn't even been a competitive game since these teams started, in 2nd grade!

I'm done with you now. Instead of talking BS on this site, go out and teach your little Billy how to catch a lacrosse ball.

Blah blah blah. If you try really hard, you can do this. The topic is 2024 Suffolk vs Nassau. Not 1979. Try to focus.

Lol you STILL don't get it! If your son was any good THEN he would talk to YOU the parent. He has no problem talking to the kids and coaching them. He's a good coach. He doesn't chose to speak to a parent if one - he thinks you're crazy and two - if you're son isn't any good. Now if you're crazy and your son is talented he may give you 3 minutes but that's about it.

For the millionth time, the number of Nassau towns that have teams a fewer and farther between. Your question is meaningless to the underlying question, which is, in of itself, dumb anyways.

You are all out of your minds. Embarrassing yourselves. If you think PAL matters and waste your time talking about it or ranking town teams you really have no clue. PAL is dying. Yes for beginner boys it's fine but once they start hitting this age, travel is where you should be focused. This conversation going on is screaming daddy coaches and " my town is better than yours" get a life if you think going forward PAL matters. What matters is the training they are getting at the travel level and the caliber of boys they are playing around. That's going to take them to the next level. Now with the early recruiting being banned until 11th grade,the club teams will be that much more important in painting a picture of your son to schools( if that's the direction he wants to go ) . Go ahead and argue this but when the time comes look at the registration stats for town ball. Less and less. Travel more and more. And the downturn in registration Plus the everlasting daddy coaches is a double whammy. PAL was there for both my boys but now from what I see it's not looking too good . Sad but that's how it looks.

I have to agree, sad. PAL is fading. The shift is club (still growing) and town teams that just play tourneys.

. . . and then number of towns that play tourneys is very small - there are ~15 schools districts on LI, ~50 in Nassau County. Town team are meaningless in the scheme of things!

Not sure who you are but Express A played both RVC & GC and beat them both easily.
So stop with this nonsense.

Stop with the RVC or GC comparison. First off, many towns have travel programs because they can afford it more than others. RVC, GC, Manhasset can afford to throw kids in a travel program to increase development. Other towns ( not saying they are poor ) are more frugal and will invest in their boy if he shows some promise. None of this is a guarantee and we all know the financial dynamics of families in nassau towns. Some towns are more blue collar, some are more white collar. Come HS the kids from GC, RVC, Manhasset that leave to go to Chaminade will go and the schools will be left with still a good core group of players, whereas other towns go from PAL team to school team with less defections. We all know the deal. I assume everyone on this site plays travel so we all would like the next level of some sort for our boys. As you see, travel is pretty cut throat with the coaches/teams and parents who love to talk behind everyones back. Cant wait until we are not slaves to this system any longer. Its hard but lets just enjoy the ride guys, chill out everyone.

I'm sure everyone on this site understands the significance of travel teams. But, last I checked, town teams turn into HS teams. If you follow HS teams, then town teams still matter. The question is, are players still playing on both town teams and travel teams? Or, are they foregoing their town teams and just doing their travel teams? If that is happening in a significant way, then yes, the town teams are not so significant. I'm sure that's different for every team, but for teams where that's happening, obviously that makes a huge difference.

So at this age right now, what Nassau town teams play and beat club teams? That was the original question.

I will simplify it for you!! YOU name a club beside taz & Pac and they have been beaten by Rvc or GC. Original question answered?

Not sure who you are but Express A played both RVC & GC and beat them both easily.
So stop with this nonsense.

Outlaws Gold beat GC at NXT in July.

my oldest kid is 2024 so there are no school teams for him yet so is a town team considered your school or is it PAL? I can say that if its PAL then from my experience there is no reason to play, once they start the travel teams the PAL seems to bring their game down and the dad coach teaches how to play incorrectly and yells when things are done as instructed by a much more qualified travel coach...again this is my personal experience.

I am not sure who you are either. this is an anonymous site.But we were talking the differences of quality players Nassau vs Suffolk ..welcome to the Party Express mommy.But Express is made up of some Rvc and Gc players also. and even without some of those players i would not use the word easily. Nor should you.

most kids enjoy playing for their towns with their friends good or bad. I know my son does, he is a good player and there are a few very good and a few good players on his town team. they all enjoy playing together every sunday in the spring and practicing near home.. maybe it is the no pressure or maybe they just flat out enjoy playing one game on a sunday morning and representing their town. Dont give up on PAL so soon, its thriving in many towns at many age groups.

Very true. That's PAL though

I agree. I'm familiar with several 2024 town teams and while there are some town teams that have a hard time fielding a team, for a variety of reasons, the vast majority of the teams are thriving and all of their travel kids participate. Based on this thread, both Suffolk and Nassau appear to have many teams that are thriving.

So, are town teams relevant? We all know that travel is the key to real player growth and opportunities, but I say that town teams are still relent. These are the HS teams of tomorrow.

And the downturn in registration Plus the everlasting daddy coaches is a double whammy. PAL was there for both my boys but now from what I see it's not looking too good . Sad but that's how it looks.

I have to agree, sad. PAL is fading. The shift is club (still growing) and town teams that just play tourneys.

I'm sure everyone on this site understands the significance of travel teams. But, last I checked, town teams turn into HS teams. If you follow HS teams, then town teams still matter. The question is, are players still playing on both town teams and travel teams? Or, are they foregoing their town teams and just doing their travel teams? If that is happening in a significant way, then yes, the town teams are not so significant. I'm sure that's different for every team, but for teams where that's happening, obviously that makes a huge difference.

Maybe it would be different if high schools had any involvement in the PAL programs what so ever. They do not. Most PAL teams (not all) are a few kids that play travel, then a bunch of kids that just want something to do in the spring. My son gets frustrated playing with those kids, frustrated with the coach when he gets told to do something different and incorrectly from what his travel coaches teach him. With 2 club practices a week in the spring and 3 spring tourneys, he will not be missing anything by staying away from PAL.

This was the start of this debate"i am saying the really good Nassau town teams have not beaten Taz or Pack(don't believe they have met often)... but have beaten all other teams/clubs, I don't care what you rate them A B. or Z. those Nassau town teams are Legit!!! (and you might want to check.But i am sure there are some boys that live in Nassau that play for Pack or Taz"

Sounds like your kid is on a really bad town team. And I'm sure you are not alone. But not all town teams are like that. There are a lot of good teams with good coaches. in your case, your son is probably better off without it.

And Express trounced both teams. I'm sure that there are tons of other teams too. I guess you "simplified" that pretty good! Maybe we should go back to the original question again and you supply the names of these "legit" teams they have beaten. Right now, you are an embarrassment to your county. So far, it doesn't look like they beat anyone! Certainly no A teams.

Trouncing? Spanked? are you being honest with yourself and this 11-yr old game ???

If you guys formed an all-star team of LI kids, maybe you could finish within 4 goals of Madlax 2024.

Madlax guy - you get an A for persistence.

At least he's a talented player. There are plenty of giants and/or holdbacks on other teams, And don't see those teams winning b/c of it.

He's not a holdback. Sad that you have to insult a KID and make up LIES about him. He is on age and on grade. Deal with it.

I love messing with you guys because you have absolutely nothing to say.

I say A for annoying. That guy never acknowledge the WP beat them 70 percent of the time. Guys were missing, goalie had a headache, ref wasn't fair, schedule wasn't correct. The field was lopsided. Lol , that Madlax guy is a clown. Probably never played a sport in his life.

Yes. Blame the loss on a crooked field and official. God, you guys are losers.

Only losers make excuses. He is a major loser. The Pack lost twice to them and won about six.

In fairness to that team though, their best player is definitely not the tall boy. He is just very visible due to his size. Slow with little effort. Best kid on that team, BY FAR, is their little righty attackman #19. He IS their offense. Stop him, you stop Madlax. It's that simple.

That kid is legit! And small. Well done young man.

Madlax guy probably breaks a sweat typing his posts. I sense a fat [lacrosse].

I'm bashing the loser madlax guy. How can I be a madlax parent??

People love bashing everyone and everything on this site. Sorry to disappoint, haters.

He is small and smaller players aren't as noticeable as bigger players, but don't be deceived.

The boy is a player. In the games I witnessed, he was their offense. Either assisted or finished on practically every point.

Maybe he is only stepping up in the big games, I don't know, but he is most definitely their best player.

If your team is getting beat by mad lax, they are getting beat by #19, not #24.

Was there any team other than Madlax that beat both Taz and Wolfpack this summer to take tournament titles from each? I don't think so. Not saying that one is the clear best team, just that there are 3 teams that are clearly separate from all the rest. Would be interesting to see how Taz and Wolfpack would fare playing in the HOCO Spring League for 8 straight weeks.

Looks like 24 is trying set up a spirng league similar to HOCO. Hope it works it will help all teams and players improve.

Is this a serious post? Do you even hear yourself? Keenan is a snake and will 100% throw any child under a bus to get someone better. He will promise you things, and then renege without hesitation. Don't fool yourself. Taz is a great team. Think how great they would be with an honest coach.

No.

The most competitive tourney last year was the Elite 8. Invite-only tourney of the top 8 teams, nationally. WP won that.

Other top teams are 91 MD and Bethesda. After that, it drops off.

What is the HOCO? Never heard of it.

I don't know if Madlax was the only team to beat both in a summer tournament. That's not the point. The point is very simple. Madlax is real good, however head to head against pack they lost 6 or 7 times and won 2 or 3 times. That's the point. It's not rocket science here. That guy who keeps popping off sounds stupid because these are the facts.

Not a Madlax or WP parent. Don't have ties to either team. But I do know that Madlax and WP have only played 5 times. Don't know why you keep saying that Madlax lost 6 or 7 times. Simply not true like most of the filth on this thread. Who cares anyway? The only thing that should matter is whether the boys are having fun, getting good coaching, and getting better. Any chance you sickos can keep this thread classier?

This thread is much more entertaining when the new S2S Dad from Merrick is trying to convince everyone that they are and A team.
This is a LI topic who cares about Madlax...

I want to thank you for bringing this to my attention. The mere fact that your child does not play for either MADLAX nor WP and you know exactly how many times they have played over the past 4 years not only makes you look not only psychotic/and obsessed, it also devalues your opinion of "classier". Perhaps, instead of passing judgment, you may want to get some much needed psychological help you pathetic vermin.

Ha. We wouldn't drive up there when there is no competition. We will wait until you come down here and face the other MD teams. See if you can even get to Madlax.

Complete morons. Madlax has played WP 5 times over the past two years....2 wins, 3 losses. Madlax has played Taz 6 times over the past 3 years....5 wins, 1 loss. Madlax has never lost to MD91. Madlax has played Bethesda at least 10 times over the past 3 years and has lost once. Let's just work off the facts and not "fake news".

Bethesda picked up 4 holdbacks from the Club Blue 2023 that won HOCO AA last year - watch out for Bethesda - older, stronger, faster

5 to 2

And know teams have played this year so lets move on until they do. Great Showing at Elite 8 BTW.

Not trying to be confrontational just curious. So these 4 studs from Club Blue are repeating a grade this year or were they just playing up and now dropping to the appropriate grade? It seems some clubs are actually letting kids play "down" simply based on the fact that the player/family has an "intent" to reclassify.

And this is news to you just now . . . ?

The only similar situation worse than this are kids reclassifying based upon their intent to do 1 (or 2) PG year(s)!

This is not news at all I am just curious how it is accomplished. My son plays for Brotherly Love 2024 and we played Bethesda at Elite Eight. We were down something like 6 goals to none within a quarter and were lucky to come back and beat them by a a single goal. However, I was struck by the age disparity between our team and theirs. I know for a fact we have two boys on the Brotherly Love 2024 team that are over age and have summer birthdays. But every other player is compliant with the US Lacrosse guidelines. We have all watched enough youth lacrosse to "know" when a kid is overage despite all the vehement objections that they aren't. Kids just move differently and more athletically as each year passes. Again, I was curious if 4 boys are dropping down...how is it being accomplished. Our team has gotten significantly better and the coaches added 5 new players but I don't believe we can compete with four 2023's reclassified.

The only similar situation worse than this are kids reclassifying based upon their intent to do 1 (or 2) PG year(s)!

This is not news at all I am just curious how it is accomplished. My son plays for Brotherly Love 2024 and we played Bethesda at Elite Eight. We were down something like 6 goals to none within a quarter and were lucky to come back and beat them by a a single goal. However, I was struck by the age disparity between our team and theirs. I know for a fact we have two boys on the Brotherly Love 2024 team that are over age and have summer birthdays. But every other player is compliant with the US Lacrosse guidelines. We have all watched enough youth lacrosse to "know" when a kid is overage despite all the vehement objections that they aren't. Kids just move differently and more athletically as each year passes. Again, I was curious if 4 boys are dropping down...how is it being accomplished. Our team has gotten significantly better and the coaches added 5 new players but I don't believe we can compete with four 2023's reclassified.

I think that if a child was Born the year before but after the Sept 1st date then they are compliant with US Lacrosse guidelines, regardless of what grade they are in.So your two boys should play with the 2023's. And the 4 reclassifying boys in question should produce a birth certificate to be fairly able to play down.

Not trying to be confrontational just curious. So these 4 studs from Club Blue are repeating a grade this year or were they just playing up and now dropping to the appropriate grade? It seems some clubs are actually letting kids play "down" simply based on the fact that the player/family has an "intent" to reclassify.

In general, moving to an age-based system can't happen soon enough for pre-HS level boys and girls!

I don't think age based is going to happen anytime soon. The stark reality is that the Clubs are dictating the landscaping. NXT and other companies are trying to start at 2026 and grandfather in the older clubs. My kids play soccer and they did it cold turkey, people were upset but they did it.

It's already happening - probably won't impact the current crop of kids, but it's already happening.

I would hope they are gonna be there, it's their tournament.

I think the gap between Taz/WP and everyone else will close a bit this year. I can only speak as to what I see in practices, but on my sons team kids that were good last year are still good and some of the kids that were a tier below have gotten better. Some have gone through a growth spurt and have gotten more confident and stepped up. May not see anyone take over the top 2 spots in this age group but may see different teams in the 3-5 spots with more competitive games with the top 2.

I watched an Express North practice this pst weekend and was surprised to see only 1 coach for the team. He was good but it seemed like there were lots of missed teaching opportunities.

How many coaches are at the LI club team practices?

One coach is not right unless something went wrong. There are exceptions but you pay a lot of money. There should always be an offense and defense coach.

Depends on the team. If you have a coach that is a high school coach, expect one coach s lot

Any changes on the top 2024 LI teams? Before all of the voices were silenced, sounded like Express had some shake-up. WP, Taz, Igloo? Anybody else belong in that conversation this year??

We won't know the facts until they all play. Not the facts, but my guess is a few will be facing off on Columbus Day in 11 days.

Anonymous posting resumes. Let the fun begin again.

Express has upgraded no doubt. Lets see if coaches actually commit, then they will begin to challenge.

Watch out for one of the Outlaws teams. They lost a middie to Taz, but from what I heard it was addition by subtraction.

Guys. Keep it real here. Not trying to stir the pot, but to this point, Express hasn't had the talent to compete with the top 2. Blame what ever you want, but player for player, Express doesn't come anywhere close to WP or Taz. The coach, and everyone, knows that. That's why he is bringing in new players where he can. The problem with that is, there aren't a bunch of really good players just sitting around waiting to play for Express, or any other team. So, not sure how that is all suppose to work. Guess we'll find out pretty soon. What tourneys had Express signed up for?

You are really hanging your hat on "face-off dominance"?? Face-off's have not helped Express AT ALL against the big boys. If a team can't score as the result of the possession gained by winning a face-off, winning face-offs is inconsequential. Sorry faceoff-boy-dad. Still goes back to lack of talent.

Wow. The old BOTC is officially back, with that post! Not a shred of fact in that whole paragraph! Congrats. That's not easy to do. First, how can you say they have problems. Dude. They are one of the top teams in the nation at this grade. Yeah. Huge problems there! They have very little turnover of players. Barely any at all, since they started in 2nd grade, while your kid and most 2024's were still on the boob. While there was a coaching change last year, they have had nothing but top notch coaches. Based on their success, obviously coaching is not a problem either. Enjoy, while Taz kicks your little Billy's butt yet again this year. I'm sure you are use to it! You are a moron. ~Not A Taz Parent

And we are back.

Whoever wrote that post is so off base. Every kid came back this year. 100 percent. A few kids did not make team but 100 percent of last years players came back or did not make the team. 1 coaching change to have a coach who only coached one team so the team could have his full attention. Taz is the place to be

Truely temporary?? There were no posts at all on this thread during the period you are referring to. If you think that is preferable, you obviously need to find another website.

Doesn't sound like your son will be on a respectable team any time soon. Maybe there is a C-team-only wensite out there somewhere. Better yet, get off the site and teach him how to catch a lacrosse ball!

Wrong, but thanks for trying!! Even with no posts, there was no loss of valuable exchange of 'info' - that's the issue. If you think the top 3 or 4 teams constantly having a pissing contest makes this site, then you have a poor excuse for a life, in general and within lax!

Yeah. I'm sure you are right. That must be why they have gone back to the old format. You are a donkey.

Game times are up for Columbus Day on tourney machine, good games on the A brachet, true blue A? guess not if the organzation place them in the B bracket to start lol

Not trying to insult, but you are either delusional or you are totally unaware of what the top talent is at this age. It was not at Express last year or years prior. Plain and simple. Stop blaming the coaches. We'll see what happens with this newly revamped team this year. Did Express get a midi from Taz? If so, that could help them.

At 11 y/o there is no such thing as top talent, I'll give you kids more developed or more interested in the sport but save the top talent talk for high school and college...btw it's nice to see botc back to its roots, love the overzealous pompous dads having pissing matches over who's kids team is better.

An A team should be practicing more than once a week. Maybe I heard wrong this year, but if a team wants to compete against other A teams you need to practice more than 1 time a week. THAT is coaching.

They are playing Taz the best team. They clearly could not fit TB in the A division so they compromised with an A game. Don't see how that is fair to the players of TB.

Igloo will shock you this year. I predict they beat Express and come closer to Taz then Taz expects.
If they don't they will later in the season. They have talent and they will practice a lot more than Express.

Igloo will not beat Express or come close to Taz. Later in the season it will be worse for Igloo.

True Blue will not even win the division they are in.

That is a bold statement, based on recent history. Sounds to me like it's the Igloo Koolaid talking. If your boys can beat Express this weekend, you may have a case.

Both teams have a lot of new players. Should be interesting and Igloo upgrade on coaching. Hopefully daddy assistant coach can sit in the background and let him coach.

Let's be honest though, for the most part they added B level players. I guess we will find out soon

Both teams have a lot of new players?? I don't believe that Taz has added any new players that are expected to make a significant impact this year. Is there a Tazzie that can confirm??

Talk about HOME COOKING! The Legacy tourney committee schedules a B team to play the best team in the tourney which just happens to be their own Taz, even though there is an A team available to play. Gives Taz a nice comfy ride to the championship. Wow. How transparent. Legacy... think nobody would notice???

It would be great to see them close the gap.

Talent is there. Was there last year too. Coaching and commitment is not.

Not trying to insult, but you are either delusional or you are totally unaware of what the top talent is at this age. It was not at Express last year or years prior. Plain and simple. Stop blaming the coaches. We'll see what happens with this newly revamped team this year. Did Express get a midi from Taz? If so, that could help them.

Some new middies, not from taz i dont think.

B bracket but they are playing Taz, the best team. They were not able to fit them in the A division.

They are playing Taz the best team. They clearly could not fit TB in the A division so they compromised with an A game. Don't see how that is fair to the players of TB. [/quote]

Talk about HOME COOKING! The Legacy tourney committee schedules a B team to play the best team in the tourney which just happens to be their own Taz, even though there is an A team available to play. Gives Taz a nice comfy ride to the championship. Wow. How transparent. Legacy... think nobody would notice???

TB beat 24 (A) in the summer. Its actually more difficult

They are in a B bracket, but playing some A teams. I'm assuming they couldn't fit them in the A bracket.

They are playing 3 B teams. They should go 3-0 and get the pleasure of playing Taz in the final

TB will be smoked by Taz, Express A. Lets see if they can even compete with Launch.

True Blue is in the bracket with all True B teams, meaning clubs 2nd teams.

Taz is with Express, Igloo and 24's A teams.

I have been going to enough YOUTH sports games/tournaments over the last couple of years. This is what I have learned.. 95% of the top lax players on the top lax teams were all born in the year 2005.fact!! Yet, must play football/soccer/hockey/wrestling with kids there own age.(kids born in 2005) making it an even, much more fair playing field.(translation- those same boys are usually good but not the best.) Why Does Lacrosse allow this in a youth sport!!! At this age 1-Yr makes a huge difference!! To have these older boys take spots away from kids the correct age in the correct grade is completely unfair and in some cases unsafe. And now lax is throwing in the reclassification situations.Its insane when you think about the possibilities of having your on age son matching up with what could be a boy 2+yrs older. then him. Its disgusting to think that the parents of these older boys feel it is ok???
This is a great game with some great boys and families. But this rush to have your son in reality I don't care about grade -play down and be the best on field is becoming an epidemic.

this legacy tournament is ridiculous...im sorry to say but there is no way that 24 is an A team and from what ive heard igloo was an A team but no longer is so how can they be in the A bracket? these team owners must be laughing all the way to the bank...theyre all in this together and are making a fortune from parents crawling so far up their !@$#@ ...its so obvious and pathetic...so glad my kid is so naturally better than the rest of the kids around here

So I recently discovered BOTC and have been reading it daily. It’s like a bad car wreck... you just can’t look away. But as a proud born and bred Long Islander (who went down South to play lax in college) – and now a Marylander whose son plays for one of the top teams often discussed on BOTC, I thought I could offer some perspective. First, the reality is that many of the parents on my son’s team – and I suspect many MD/DC parents – have nothing but respect for the LI teams. OK, maybe the one mom that yells Wooooolf Pack is a bit annoying, but whatever. The reality is our kids love playing your boys. The crap on BOTC is just BS that you can say when you don’t have your name attached to a comment. The reality is WP, Taz and others are some of the best teams around. It’s pretty amazing to watch the caliber of talent at such a young age. These kids (LI/PA/MD/VA) are some of the best in the country and a ton of fun to watch. However, I think MD has a formula that LI needs to follow. We play in a spring league that has some of the best teams in the DC/Baltimore area. MadLax, Crabs, Team 91, BLC, Hawks play a 6/7 game season and THEN start Tournament play. So the boys are all warmed up when they head up to LI or PA. You all need to start something similar.... So have the summer be the culmination of the season, not the entire season.

Agree 100%. Someone need to get just half the LI clubs to agree and the rest will follow.

You're not anybody's wife's man. I hope that you are a very immature child playing these endless stupid games because I can't imagine any adult acting that childish, for such a prolonged period of time. If you are an adult, you are one sick [lacrosse] and a horrendous reflection on the Madlax organization, its parents and children.

Who is going to Battle on the Bay on Oct. 28-29?

I have a question for the Maryland parents. Why is it that the top teams in Maryland are not in the WSYL or they did not field a 2024 team in the warrior games? Is it because it’s age based and not grad year? Is there any truth to the holdback posts always on here? Is that the reason more than a spring league? I know there are holdbacks on LI too. But with the WSYL wins and the warrior games win by this age you kinda have to wonder what gives.

A spring league would be great - especially with all of the travel teams now. But that would be too easy - and where would the directors make their money. That is the real question. Are most MD teams not for profit?

Because both events are a joke. Why fly all the way to Colorado when that event attracts 2 good teams and the rest terrible ones when you can play on the East Coast against excellent ones?

It's because MD is the king of the holdback state. Every decent team is completely dependent on their holdbacks. If they can't bring all of their hold backs, they aren't competitive. Right holdback state?? MD went the first year, but couldn't bring their holdbacks. Consequently, they got crushed by 91 Crush. What did they do after that? What every good MD team does. Quit! Losers!

From my experience, and feel free to disagree, both NY and MD have holdbacks, obviously. All my experience with NY hold backs is that they have been "heldback" at a very young age, right when school starts. (with a few exceptions). In MD it seems to be popular to hold back kids in their middle school years. Either way something must be said that any age based tournament does not have a good showing by Maryland teams. You can call the tournaments a waste of time, but the truth is, your are just making an excuse.

This is 100% factual. It rarely happens in NY (reclassifying after Kindergarten), as a negative stigma is attached to it. However, this is not the case for MD and the south in general, where this practice is basically commonplace and an accepted practice. Apparently, it has been going on for so long there, it is ingrained in the culture. Not the case in the North.

Except for in MA - the whole prep school thing makes that common place there, especially as it used to relate to hockey before USAH went age-based . . .

There are teams on Long Island starting to do this also. And it is creating an uneven playing field.

Because you are a hick, let me educate you. Kids who play for Madlax are almost all from Northern VA. Some from DC, some from the DC suburbs of MD, but really just NoVA. That is not the same as living in Baltimore. That is why clubs like Madlax and VLC are viewed as DC clubs.

There is no disavowment. You are just an uneducated fool, which makes sense since you are from Long Island (aka ArmPit, USA).

Dude - hick?? You continue to prove that you obviously don't know much about LI. As someone who grew up in Queens and then moved to Nassau County, as well as having worked in Manhattan pretty much my entire career, you really couldn't find much less "hick' unless you were talking to someone who lived in Manhattan their entire life. Here's your geography lesson for the truly ignorant: Two boroughs of NYC are on LI, and the reason why Nassau County is largely populated by families who came out from the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. Perhaps you should alleviate yourself of your obvious ignorance by taking a look at a map one day and realize that about 50% of LI is now a never ending, contiguous suburb of NYC. Unless you live on the eastern half of LI (which also a much lower proportion of population) no one on LI is a hick, and even for those in eastern Suffolk, most aren't that rural - go far enough east and most of the people are either the wealthy vacationing from their NYC/western LI homes or the people providing services to them - either way, they're not hicks. And I'll put my education up against yours any day, and twice on Sunday. Go back to second most out of touch place in the US (and whose suburbs are way more rural relative to LI and NYC.), and go back and slap whatever educators you had for convincing you that were educated and worldly!

The crap on BOTC is just BS that you can say when you don’t have your name attached to a comment. The reality is WP, Taz and others are some of the best teams around. It’s pretty amazing to watch the caliber of talent at such a young age. These kids (LI/PA/MD/VA) are some of the best in the country and a ton of fun to watch. However, I think MD has a formula that LI needs to follow. We play in a spring league that has some of the best teams in the DC/Baltimore area. MadLax, Crabs, Team 91, BLC, Hawks play a 6/7 game season and THEN start Tournament play. So the boys are all warmed up when they head up to LI or PA. You all need to start something similar.... So have the summer be the culmination of the season, not the entire season.

Agree 100%. Someone need to get just half the LI clubs to agree and the rest will follow.

I have a question for the Maryland parents. Why is it that the top teams in Maryland are not in the WSYL or they did not field a 2024 team in the warrior games? Is it because it’s age based and not grad year? Is there any truth to the holdback posts always on here? Is that the reason more than a spring league? I know there are holdbacks on LI too. But with the WSYL wins and the warrior games win by this age you kinda have to wonder what gives.

From my experience, and feel free to disagree, both NY and MD have holdbacks, obviously. All my experience with NY hold backs is that they have been "heldback" at a very young age, right when school starts. (with a few exceptions). In MD it seems to be popular to hold back kids in their middle school years. Either way something must be said that any age based tournament does not have a good showing by Maryland teams. You can call the tournaments a waste of time, but the truth is, your are just making an excuse.

Make all the tournaments AGE based! Then there is No speculation.

Madlax is the DC suburbs, donkey. The NATION's CAPITAL. Not a New Jersey wannabe. Can't wait to kick you [lacrosse] again this fall.

You're so proud of your own state, you disavow it to attach yourself to Washington DC?? Other than LA, there might not be a more out of touch place in the US!

Because you are a hick, let me educate you. Kids who play for Madlax are almost all from Northern VA. Some from DC, some from the DC suburbs of MD, but really just NoVA. That is not the same as living in Baltimore. That is why clubs like Madlax and VLC are viewed as DC clubs.

There is no disavowment. You are just an uneducated fool, which makes sense since you are from Long Island (aka ArmPit, USA).

Your from Virginia and your calling someone a hick? Lmao. That is funny. I guess in NoVa you wear vineyard vines overalls when you farm your fields? Welcome to the beginning of the south. Rednecks.

Hmmm, what are the two richest counties in the country? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-income_counties_in_the_United_States

Hmmm. Median family income does not equal richest county. And most of those counties have barely 100,000 households. Per Capita income is a much better judge of counties wealth.

Ha, citing Wikipedia as a source. Laughable!

No matter how you look at it, we got more $ than you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_counties_by_per_capita_income. But you will never admit that you are wrong. Arguing with someone from LI, is like playing chess with a pigeon. They knock the pieces over, crap on the board, and fly back to their flock to claim victory.

Can we please get back to lax.

Everything is an opinion. How about groups? Maybe A and B. I'm new to this and trying to get a feel for the landscape and how many teams are actually out there. From what I read, sounds like Express and Igloo would be A teams. There must be others. I'm sure there are also clear cut B's. Just looking for some opinions.

You will get nothing but obnoxious comments, that's my opinion, so good luck, not sure what you're going to do with 20 different "opinions" on who is best.

Why does it matter? Your son is on a team? Do you like that team? Don’t worry about who people think are good or bad, A or B. Evaluate you and your families situation after the summer tournaments

Igloo and express are “a” teams, they can compete with A teams but lose
I don’t know any other clubs on Long Island you can consider “A”.
The rest of the teams all compete at a similar level.
Hope that helps.

No!! The rest of the teams DO NOT compete at a similar level. There are beat downs happening all over the place, which is why this very narrow-minded assessment is so thoroughly flawed. I will not debate the top 2 - 3 are lights out better than most everyone else, but there are definitely enough teams with enough diversity in talent to properly and thoroughly make up at least 2 - 3 tiers below these elite. And the fact is that even in being elite, they would then logically be in the top tier with the other teams.

There has to be a next tier. While I'm not familiar with a lot of the teams, I know there are some really challenged teams out there. Hit man for example. No disrespect Hitman parents, but you got a long way to go. I would think there is a level between that and Express/Igloo.

Exactly! And any one tier is not going to be just 5 teams, which means in a three-tier system, the top 15 - 20 teams or so are probably A, and then a lot more in B and C. Just because the top 2 - 3 (or 5) A teams are way better than the next 10 - 15, doesn't mean that those 10 - 15 don't belong in A, especially if they regularly beat up on the teams that are ~20+, which would comprise B and C. It has long been my contention that a 3-tier system such as this - A, B, and C, is the way to go. These elite teams can continue to call themselves AA, because that is what they are: the best of the best, A. Having the next 10 - 15 teams as A does not diminish their status - in fact, it enhances it! But, these clubs are too caught up in their perpetuation of a system that makes no sense for the sport, so they can't see the forest through the trees. I would further argue that such a system would actually allow all clubs to make more money as they would be offering up a more transparent product for parents/players to consider.

Provided the above list is accurate (not so much order, but inclusion) the entirety of those 12 teams are what constitute A for 2024, with the top 3 being AA. And, unless you're playing in a tournament that clearly has an AA division WITH A FULL COMPLIMENT of AA teams, then all of these teams should be playing in A brackets.

Fake news. Only played O'Reilly 1x and won by 1 goal. Outlaws actually blew an 8-0 lead to won 8-7...

You are correct. 1 win in 1 game vs O'Reilly. Person might have been confused with express O'Shea. Probably Both Outlaws Teams should be in there. They are pretty even. And yes, you can argue 4-12. But what's the point? They have not even played a game yet. You can do your ranking in the summer again.

While I'm not that familiar with the teams after Express, if Launch is really a # 5 caliber team, then there is an ENORMOUS drop off after the top three (I don't know what is happening with Igloo right now). The AA teams would beat all of those teams by at least 20+ goal's. Seriously, that is accurate. Based on that, while apparently a lot of people don't want to hear it, there really are very few "A" caliber teams on Long Island. Possibly just Express. Maybe Igloo. That's it. Not trying to stir the pot here, but with that kind of difference from the AA teams, to the next level... that next level of A just does not exist here on LI.

So as I stated earlier, nothing more than obnoxious comments and opinions. Hope you got something from all this silliness. Hate to say it but you're either a stirrer or a fool, I'll let you opine on it.

Neither, my friend. Just some observations, whether they please you or not. We get it. Your son is on a subpar team so you don't like hearing all of the talk about rankings since it's a constant reminder of your son being on an inferior team. I'm sure that many of us can relate. Unfortunately, this isn't going away anytime soon. It's human nature, even for 11 year old lacrosse. Suggest you spend less time on the site and just appreciate this precious time with your son. It goes very quickly. At the end of the day, none of this really matters.

I thought S2S was playing in the Columbus Day Tournament?

The point is you really don’t know. Maybe Launch is #5, maybe #12. Most teams have kids come and go every year. Some kids my have gotten bigger and stronger. Some kids caught up to the other kids in skills and quickness. Some kids worked hard in August and September, some kids went to the beach. My son played half the teams on this list last year and I have no clue which team is good or not. Some of these teams play in town tournaments to get t shirts, some play in better tournaments and get beat down. Which of those teams improved from competition? They only way to rank these teams is to know every kid on each team and rank them. Otherwise is just white noise.

Hard to say what is A. Clearly Taz and WP are AA but they take 22ish players and do not play the other 6-8 kids. If those other 6-8 kids formed another team then another team would exist that could beat Express A Schwalje.

Those 4-12 teams are probably A players outside of Long Island or Maryland.

Taz and WP cause a serious problem to every tournament director because no one wants to play them. So all teams try to go into other brackets.

Ranking is solid. Storm team was mostly dismantled and up graded. Some proof would be in how launch preforms at Columbus Day. If Launch and TB get to Division Final (odds are this will happen) then we will see. Later in Fall at Blatant we should see some other matchups.

Provided the above list is accurate (not so much order, but inclusion) the entirety of those 12 teams are what constitute A for 2024, with the top 3 being AA. And, unless you're playing in a tournament that clearly has an AA division WITH A FULL COMPLIMENT of AA teams, then all of these teams should be playing in A brackets.

While I'm not that familiar with the teams after Express, if Launch is really a # 5 caliber team, then there is an ENORMOUS drop off after the top three (I don't know what is happening with Igloo right now). The AA teams would beat all of those teams by at least 20+ goal's. Seriously, that is accurate. Based on that, while apparently a lot of people don't want to hear it, there really are very few "A" caliber teams on Long Island. Possibly just Express. Maybe Igloo. That's it.

To say LI has very few A teams is ignorance at best - while other areas have come a long ways towards the quality of lax talent out there, LI and MD still are the primary locales for the sport. To extend that "there really are very few "A" caliber teams on Long Island" concept to its logical conclusion, what you are actually saying is that there really are very few "A" caliber teams ANYWHERE". Which, when you think about it, is a ridiculous statement!

Neither, my friend. Just some observations, whether they please you or not. We get it. Your son is on a subpar team so you don't like hearing all of the talk about rankings since it's a constant reminder of your son being on an inferior team. I'm sure that many of us can relate. Unfortunately, this isn't going away anytime soon. It's human nature, even for 11 year old lacrosse. Suggest you spend less time on the site and just appreciate this precious time with your son. It goes very quickly. At the end of the day, none of this really matters.

So you asked for rankings, all the while knowing what would happen. Thanks stirrer, sorry mate my son isn't in this age group he's looong past it, I was just scrolling about and found your request to be the typical deuche BOTC stirrer comment. Good luck with your sons Club ranking, I'm sure his HS team sucks, that's the only reason suckers like you talk about club rankings that don't exist. Adios [lacrosse] clown!

They will be 2-1 with yes, a butt kicking by Taz. Still good enough to get in a division final and provide a measuring stick for my ranking. Blatant results will provide and opportunity to test other rankings.

To this point, and admittedly this will change to a greater or lesser degree over time, the AA teams could make the score what ever they want to make it against any of these teams, excluding Express and maybe Igloo. If there are no teams that can remotely compete with them, how can you say they belong in a bracket with 10 or 12 of them? That is a "ridiculous statement". And, there are other teams that can compete with them, and give them a good game, at that. Those teams just aren't on L.I. Not trying to bash L.I., but this is the current situation for 2024. Conclusion: There are one or two A teams on L.I.

I have other sons playing in different age groups besides 2024, and if you read those boards they all basically say the top 2 - 3 teams are A and everyone else is B. Again, since we're talking LI, that cannot be the case. Maybe it truly is the case with 2024, and all of the other age groups are wrong, but until I see people approaching club lax from a rational, unbiased POV about how to assess teams and tiering, I am skeptical that beyond Taz and WP that there no other teams on LI are A.

To clarify my statement. There are (2) AA Teams on LI. There are (5) A teams 3-7 with Express being the best.

WP and Taz are not A they are AA. Two Maryland teams fall into AA category as well.

Your view is definitely a very logical one and I'm sure the notion of two AA teams and one or two A teams appears somewhat absurd, especially in a hot bed area like L.I., unless you are very familiar with the teams in question. It's odd, I'll admit. Doesn't make sense, but for now that's the way it is with the '24's. That will undoubtedly change over time, and every year is a do-over, so we'll see what happens this year...

Everyone on that list is 5 goals or more worse than Madlax 2024 Capital.

The won’t play Taz. The B bracket has it’s own final. Will play launch or iglooB in the final

TB play taz on their schedule. Launch plays 24. Not sure what happened

Part of the issue is how watered down club lax has gotten. And it’s the directors own fault. Every year seems to be a new club popping up. With 2 teams at the age level. Then every parent is unhappy with the fact that these new teams have a hard time competing. So they move to a different team. Then the parents of the kids that are really good think their kid should not be playing with kids not as good, so they leave and the cycle just continues. So it winds up WP and Taz stay on top and everyone else spins their wheels and no team gets good enough to compete. It may change when some of the kids and parents collect enough t shirts and realize if my kid is not playing, no one is seeing him. So the starter to 2nd string drop off will be greater for those 2 teams and the games will begin to get closer, instead of 2 you may have 6

But it's more than that. Wp and taz compete on a very consistent level. Where other teams like express etc play great one weekend and badly the next. It's rare they get beat by anyone other than md and D.C. Teams. The one common denominator for all the best teams is constant playing together all year. Most clubs have their fall, and summer. That's it. These AA or top teams are together nonstop

It’s also the fact that with so many Clubs now and new ones popping up every year the talent level is watered down. Most clubs have 9-10 kids that are A level players. While the top 2 have 20. And parents have kids changing teams all the time for whatever reason so teams do not stay together and most teams have to start from day 1 every year. Until that changes there will continue to be a big gap between the top teams and the next tier. You know what you will get from WP and Taz. It will be interesting to see what you get from the next group.

Wp and taz were dominate yes. But this is the age when kids start catching up and the gap gets less. By the time there in jv and hs there will be many wp and taz

"Were" dominant?? Or "are" dominant?? Other than that, your statement is accurate, in a very general context. However, not always the case, as that also should have already started happening by now. But it hasn't even remotely started happening. The gap is huge! Great teams tend to stay great. 91 Crush, as an example. The reason. Obviously there are many, but one of the biggest is these teams are built on some of the best athletes at this grade, anywhere. Not just great lacrosse players. The sky is the limit for many of these kids. So while other kids are getting better. Guess what, these kids are getting better too. And some of them are going to flat out amaze you in a couple of years.

FACT: being the birthdate ruling is manipulated by you good ole boys, the "2024" team is actually 2023 and why they cannot enter the WSYL in Colorado ...Being they have lost to both WP and TAZ who are grade down, i don't see what dominance is being refered to

Nobody goes to that loser tournament. Just like the Dicks Tournament used to be, it's more rich families who want a vacation. Total fraud, just like Long Island aka the Tat State.

Wait so MAdLax admits that their kids on the 2024 team are really 2023s. You guys are the best.Lets CHEAT to win. You parents and that head coach are a bunch of jerk offs that belong together. Stay in VA PLEASE

Yes, they have been together a long time. The core of both teams have been together since the beginning, in second grade. Not many changes. So they definitely have a lot of consistency there. Yes, they practice a lot but probably not as much as you think. The coaching is top notch. As skilled and dedicated as there is, in youth lacrosse. On an individual level, success breeds success. Both teams have some extremely talented players. Some are likely, as good as it gets, at this age. These players act as an unofficial benchmark for the rest of the boys, just by their presence, motivating the rest to be better. The players are unselfish. Most of the boys would prefer an assist over a goal, and it shows! Lax IQ is another big one. These boys know exactly what to do with the ball. All that said, the core of these teams are based around exceptional young athletes, who happen to play lacrosse (and many other sports as well... no single sport-athlete's here). These teams have some of the best athletes at this age, anywhere. Exceptional athletes yield exceptional results, no matter which sport they play.

The operative word being "loser".

Wolf Pack vs Mad-losers - Record to Date:

* WOLF PACK - 5 wins
* Mad-lax-losers - 2 measly wins

Wolf Pack wins over 70% of the games played!!!!!

If there is a "dominance" here, Wolf Pack is your DOMINATRIX... Mad-lax-loser-Wolfpack-[lacrosse]!

(Sorry fellow L.I.'ers, this d-bag brings out the worst in me!!)

Who won the last one? You guys are weak.

He deserves it, pour it on.. and I'm from Westchester

BAD losers.

****************************
WP - 5
Mad-losers - barely... 2

****************************

Did I mention, Mad-losers lose 70% of their games to WP?!! That's the best it's ever going to get for you, loser. So enjoy that paltry 30%, because your nemesis is here to stay. Your dominatrix is going to enjoy making that number drop like a boulder this year, and every year!

Now shut the F up, Mad-loser, and stop pissing me off. Go back to your trailer trash VA thread, but always remember, YOU are forever Long Islands [lacrosse]!!!

Madlax has won the most tournaments, the most recent tournaments, and nobody is within 6 goals of it. Deal with it, Tat Nation.

How is doing Halloween Havoc for 2024.

V - II

FIVE.- TWO

5 - 2

5 wins with 11 year olds

VS

2 wins with 12 year olds

Pathetic.

Now go stalk some other thread with teams you and your 12 year olds can actually compete with, sicko!

How about a new topic? The first tourney of the season is Monday. What are the predictions on how both divisions will finish? I've read a lot on BOTC about how Express is totally retooled with some biggie midi's and a great new goalie. And while the Taz parents have been very quiet, I read that they demoted some of their kids to Launch, so they must have been replaced with some upgrades. Express dads still feeling cocky??

Any other interesting storylines for Monday??

Who is going to win the B division, and why?

No horse in the race, but curious to know what everyone thinks for this first tourney for the '24's.

Interesting. I agree with you, in regards to the A division. Interested to see how Igloo responds.

What about you Express parents out there. I heard a ton of talk about how good your team is, as a result of their upgrades at midi and goalie. With the games upon us, I'm hearing only crickets! What's up? Not feeling so confident now that your boys have to take the field and back-up all your talk?? C'mon now.

Any Taz boosters out there??? You guys have been totally silent for quite some time... Must be strategy!

OK, I'll comment. Taz vs Express: Taz by 6 (minimum... prob more)

If Launch can win the B division, I think that would be a very nice accomplishment for them and the Legacy organization. Not sure they can, though.

I think TB will win the second division. Could be the 3rd best team in this tournament. Would have liked to see them play express or igloo as opposed to Taz.

M A D L A X !!!!

I would bet that 24 refused to play Taz and played the we have 2 teams in the tournament card with the directors. This forced tournament directors to have TB play Taz.

TB is playing taz because there wasn't enough room in the A. 24 is not scared

I'm sorry, but can you break down the 5-2 for me? They've only played a total of 5 times. Thanks!

I think the problem is you can't count to seven. Ok. Let's do it together.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

There! See. That wasn't that hard!

Now go back to your trailer and watch your games on your high def black and white, with the bunny ears!

AND STAY OFF THE LI THREAD!!!!

Oh, I can count to seven, but it's 3-2, not 5-2. But if you know of two more wins that I'm not aware of, please enlighten us. BTW, what's WP's record against Taz?

The why would 24A play (2) A games and B game against Launch. TB is in the B Division and is playing (2) B Games and Taz.

24A must be scared of Taz.

Actually 24 was always in the A Bracket. TB was not but asked for an A game. It’s a legacy tourney so they got Taz. Also, Taz needs to play Express and Igloo as they are the 2 best teams in the tourney after Taz.

45/9 to 24/12

It is common sense. There can not be 3 teams in the B bracket and 5 in the A. TB was not able to get in the A. 24 did not back out

21/7 to 4/2. [lacrosse] bag. Where are the other 2? What about the record vs taz?

M A D L A X !!!!!

Ffffffffiiiiiivvvvveeeeee. - Tttttttwwwwwoooo

Who is the better team right now? Madlax? Who dominated this past summer? Who has the best players? Madlax.

Madlax will dominate again. LI kicks our boots.

Taz 3-2 over igloo? Teams catching up?

[quote=Anonymous]Who is the better team right now? Madlax? Who dominated this past summer?

Wolfpack. Elite 8. Enough said.

Watch the game and put your phone down .. Life is short and before you know it the kids will be heading off to college .

TAZ is unstoppable again!

You sound like a tool. Unstoppable , really.

I guess true blue is really unstoppable then. Teams catch up. That's why all that arguing and bashing when the kids were in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade was so stupid. People coming on here bashing each which 9 yr old team is better. It means nothing, less than nothing actually. Is he improving, enjoying the sport , having fun, learning the game. That's all that matters.

But you will not play TB.

Madlax would beat either of these teams by 6 goals

Maybe so, but we all know the team you can't beat , lol. Now stay on the maryland boards now. It may have been funny 4 weeks ago. It's getting old. You won 2 out of 7. Now go hide in your rathole. You lost this argument, just like you lost a majority of games played head to head. Later lol, you lost.

Igloo ruled the game against Express until the last 5 minutes and only lost by 1 to Taz. Come spring Igloo will be the team to watch out for!

Would love honest analysis from Today's Taz vs. True Blue Game. Is it true TAZ lost. Did TAZ just not show up or is TB a real team. All the other teams they played were B Teams. I know its a lot to ask for on this site but would appreciate no B.S. just real thoughts from folks that watched this game.

The taz poor sportsmanship is pretty sad and I would 100 times rather be on a so called Lesser team if my kids learn sportsmanship because losing is part of life and the way taz lost looked pathetic, horrible attitude so enjoy all of your bashing us lesser teams ... have fun!

I was there I saw the game and Tb simply outplayed taz, people can say whatever they want but Tb looked like a better team, more united and def deserved to win

Taz kid tossed from the game late. His parents should have pulled him out after that stunt. Animals

Tb played real good today hats off to them. That. Played there hearts out. Now are they better then taz no. But you play the win and you shouldn’t back away from any team that’s just shows all team you never know.

Classless adult attacking an 11year old goalie??? REALLY???? how pathetic is that !!!!! You wouldn't make a statement like that if you had to show your name An your info !!!!

There is NOTHING worse than a loser dad who thinks he's a big man and can anonymously attack a CHILD. Be just a LITTLE graceful in defeat. Leave individual children out and moderator needs to control those posts It can be anonymous and still have a LITTLE class.

True Blue lost to Igloo Frostbite! LOL

I don't understand today's game schedule down in east islip. There were 2 divisions Big East AA and Big Ten AA. Taz is in Big Ten and TB is in Big East. Taz and TB played each during game play and TB beat TAZ (hehehe) but the way they were in different divisions meant they would never face each other in the finals. I guess it was a way for Taz to walk away with a win and t-shirts. So sad the way scheduled are done like that.

It is funny watching a 6th grader get thrown out of a tournament. How many flags did you guys get towards the end of the game because of unsportsmen like? Looked like a lack of composure. You should teach your kids better manners

TB had requested to be in the "A" bracket to test themselves; they did not get in due to space. They asked if they could get an "A" game to make up for it and were given it. No malice AT ALL by the Taz organization.

The taz poor sportsmanship is pretty sad and I would 100 times rather be on a so called Lesser team if my kids learn sportsmanship because losing is part of life and the way taz lost looked pathetic, horrible attitude so enjoy all of your bashing us lesser teams ... have fun! Hahahahaha 5-2 feels good even if it’s short lived xoxo blahahahahaahah

Hey Dad, calm down and go for a walk and inhale your Vape. Who has ever bashed you? Where was the TaZ poor sportsmanship?
You sound like you are scorned and angry. X’s and O’s 😂 Inhale Vape Exhale Vape weirdo, way to represent your team and organization, good job Dad TRueTRASH

It is funny watching a 6th grader get thrown out of a tournament. How many flags did you guys get towards the end of the game because of unsportsmen like? Looked like a lack of composure. You should teach your kids better manners

TrueTrash hope to see u again. You were the loud mouth hillbilly with the sunken in jaw that just got out of rehab right?

Not being fececious, I know Columbus Day tourney was an actual tourney, but did anyone catch the '24s at Oyster bay? S2S, true blue, Igloo?

The thousand posts to this effect are not enough for you...??!

Taz parents and kids should be ashamed how they acted. They better get used to losing though. Not that good.

As the guy with the ecig I have never posted here however I do apologize if I was was too loud, I would not wanna ruin someone’s day of watching their kid play lacrosse i am sorry I didn’t think I was louder than anyone else but if I was I will definitely not be in the future I know I don’t appreciate it so I would not wanna be that way to others

What teams are attending the Blatant Tournament?

True Blue tied Taz. Don't listen to fake news.

Igloo much improved. Gave Taz a run for its money. Express will only get better as well. Taz losing to a B team. Parity is good. Maybe we can all play more locally.

Not Surprised some of the Taz kids acted the way they did. Good job TB!

Anyone know how TB (b?) did then? Assuming they played S2S only, how's S2S being that they're new?

That tournament is over. On to the next one. Which teams are going to Blatant?

Igloo will be the top dog come spring! (behind 9d1 of course)

TB B played with a mixed team of '25s and '24s and lost both games - they did not shoot the ball. That team is very much a work in progress . . . Not sure you can judge S2S based upon those factors.

Who is coaching Taz. Didn't see SK yesterday???

Who coaches tb at this age?

A friends son is on S2S - according to him, they are a mid pack B team at the moment with a lot of practices and solid coaching. Isaac Neal from Port is the head coach.

S2S played a GC pickup team on Friday that included plenty of Express A and 24 kids from all over the 516. Hung early then the 516 pulled away in the 2nd half. On Monday S2S beat True Blue B 13-1 but agreed TB is a work in progress. TB had a few talented kids but for the most part were a PAL team. Assume S2S plays B bracket at Blatant.

There were S2S, True Blue, Igloo and Fighting Ducks teams there.

True Blue beat Taz and true blue parents spent about 10 grand less (than taz) on travel lacrosse over the past few years. You have to love it

Why is nobody giving any credit to Igloo B. New team, first tournament and beats the much hyped legacy B and then the mighty true blue in the finals. I’m not a parent if anyone on that team but they deserve the most props.

Taz needs to get control of its players. One player got 1 minute unsportsmanlike penalty, then another got ejected from the game for unsportsmanlike response to the referee.

First saw TB kids warming up about 15 of them and they didn't look like they could win the 2025 bracket. It also was a 24/25 mix of kids meaning they didn't have enough good kids. Watched them take the field and was a different pack of kids joining them. Definitely were some guests or that team has the widest disparity of talent in any age group.

That win yesterday by TB over Taz was big for that program. Could bring even more talent to that team.

not a coach or a parent just sick of you tb and taz losers saying how great you are.

S2S lost 7-3 to GC/24 mix, but GC controlled F/O...then yes they beat TB whatever level yesterday 12-1.

They are playing in A at Blatant. It's fall, might as well right?! If they lose every game- people will talk crap, and if they win every game-people will talk crap..... so as long as kids get better and are having fun then who cares if they win or lose? EArhM

Your literally a joke. It's called kids were at the tent getting ready. The tb 2023 A kids were at s2s. If they came and played it would not have been even close. That's older team is top 4 in their age also. The program has been making progress. No they are not a consistent 1, or 2, but they are able to compete and beat them once in a awhile. Give them some more time and they will consistently be able to beat the 1 and 2s. They play with class and the organization is classy. You never hear a bad thing about a coach from its players. All the nonsense comes from the outsiders. We only stick up for the directors and coaches who do right by us.

My sons team played true blue last year. They are a good team. Kids were very talented. Although I would hold the classy organization calls to a minimum.

Who won the TB vs Igloo B game? What was the score? Tourney machine doesn't say.

At this age does it really matter what the rankings are? My son is on one of the Teams listed after Express A and honestly I don't care about the t-shirts. I want him to develop, have fun and play in competitive games. I get it, everyone wants to give their kids team the litmus test against Taz and WP but IMO it doesn't matter. I'm sure at Blatant, Taz will beat my son's team but, if he can get better from the experience than it is worth the loss. Teams need competition to get better and Taz and WP are good to have locally because it doesn't get much better than that in the country. Take it for what it is and enjoy watching your 11 year old have fun on the fields and improving. Some kids will stop playing by the time they hit HS and others that are on the bench now will become starters. They are 11 and still developing. Here is hoping for a competitive season with some great lax. Besides we all know Madlax rules...haha(I figure I would beat Madlax guy to his usual creative post).

Will the outlaws, S2S and wolfpack go to blatant? Which teams are attending the tournament?

If you run full on game situation with two referees, what difference does it make if it was a formal or informal tournament ("scrimmage")? No formal tournaments at the 6th grade level mean anything beyond themselves, so what's the difference?? The pomp and circumstance??

Are you serious??. We will see you when WP plays TB?? Is this a joke ?? WP is at the top of the list. Period. Win % across the board against every team in the age bracket is superior to everyone in the age group. Gotta love you newbies pumping your chest after one win. WP has been doing it since day 1. Except for Madlax out of MD and sometimes Taz there is no one on the level of this team. And the " give them the benefit of the doubt" quote... haha typical chest pounding of a one win team/ teams. Act like you've been there man.

There is no way they picked up kids (the talent pool is just not there, (its not like they grabbed the Wolfpack Kids) or kids got bigger/better etc. There were some guests (2023 or out of state whatever).

Why give credit to a B team that borrows players from their A team. Please

LOL yeah they pick up kids from out of state... how delusional are you honestly? They did not add any players to their roster. Please stop starting lies. There is no need to post aobut TB all day everyday now. Lets move on to the next subject.

Delusional is thinking TB could leapfrog B-AA in talent 5 months. TB made it an issue when they went from a B team in June to an AA team in October. Only so many 2024s on LI. All eyes will be focused on TBs roster.

My son's 2024 team uses ZERO 2023s - the same for my son's 2021 team - no 2020s!

Do you all hear yourselves??? All these arguments on here, and on the fields are All based off the fact that all teams are in question of playing older boys to get a win.
The definition of insane, is to keep doing the same things over and over with the same result. So Stop! Make it easy on ourselves.Let's Put together roster's (every club team has one)with birth certificates. Last I checked all the boys received one. Hand your rosters in at tournaments. I will tell you from a parents perspective it will make me feel more comfortable with opposing team parents.From a coaching standpoint I get a better gage on the performance of my players.

Ranking 6th grade lacrosse. Laughable! Next, you guys are going to start giving point spreads on the games.

I made $350 on the Columbus Day Tourney. Get with the program.

Rumor is Peter LeFleur put money on True Blue after speaking to Lance Armstrong, while Patches O'Houlihan got crushed under two tons of irony. GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!! GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS!!!

While I am an advocate for age-based youth lax for pre-HS players, the current 'rules' are grade-based. Collecting birth certificates is meaningless in that landscape - you'd be better off collecting some type of certification from a school as to what grade the player was currently enrolled under, but those would be even less consistent in standards than BCs are! The answer to this whole thing is to move to age-based play, and then BCs are what governs level of play! USL has only option to force this, and that is via their insurance - the question is whether they will go with this nuclear option.

From your lips to USL's ears. There are so many parents that agree with you.

The answer to all this is get a life An stop basing your whole day around bashing 11 an 12 year olds An their parents!!!!! True blue 2024 won that day legacy taz lost ...some kids are big some kids are small look around next time you pick your kid up from school or are you too busy at work typing on a computer about pee wee lacrosse...on any given day a champion can get dethroned ... wolf pack taz igloo or whoever....get a life An teach the children of our society to preserver thru negativity An put their best foot forward An great things happen ...this might be too much insight for you ignorant Geniuses !!!!

Yo ignoramus - stop assuming that everyone that is on a thread is the same person or persons. The last couple posts about age-based lacrosse did not bash anyone nor even call into question that a team used or didn't use off-grade boys. But an age-based system of play would greatly remove that possibility as well as get rid of holdbacks and mismatches due to grade-based age differences by state.

Are you gunna cry also when your son or daughter is on varsity An is in 11th grade An playing with 12th graders or if your lucky enough to actually have someone that can play at the college level An their as a freshmen playing with seniors An super seniors ????

I agree!!!! Teach your kids to go out an play An have fun stop worrying about all the nonsense ....ppl on this sight have an excuse for everything. Go out play lacrosse have fun become a better player every time stop worrying bout wins an loses you have a whole college career to win a national championship !!!!! This is pee wee lax no one is making history but your helping the owners make millions of dollars

Your not helping them make millions? Only we are?

did this dude just answer his own posting? Same spelling and writing style, dude, get a life

True blue made a straight a team this year and a b team... last year they only had one team... also they were missing 2 of there starters for this past weekend due to injury ... game on people ... just saying

If your son plays football with the 2023's he is a holdback in lax

You guys have serious issues.

1. None of you guys are within 6 goals of us. Madlax will dominate this fall as we did the summer and the years before that.

2. Your obsession with holdbacks is sad and funny.

Another person who can't read - go back and [lacrosse] slap your teachers for convincing you and your parents that you had been adequately educated! Which part of "pre-HS age" confused you most??! I mean, there wasn't even a multisyllabic word contained there. Maybe it was the hyphen??!

You are clearly a newbie. This topic has been beaten to death for years. Back when 2021s were in 4th grade. They are now in high school. Nothing has changed and it never will. So either hold your kid back or shut about it. It’s the way it works now.

Btw, you don’t even have to hold your kid back. Just tell the director you plan to and bingo you’re cleared to play down

There are just to many lies. True Blue did not bring anyone from out of state nor did they bring anyone down. The older team was playing at S2S. The B team was there but 2024 beat them in a scrimmage easily. And who would honestly bring kids from out of state? Lol. True Blue has been growing, The 2023s are top 4 and the 2024s are now top 4 and only going up. The 2025s will also be competitive this year. The only reason you other parents say negative things is because you never believed that these teams were top teams because you pay twice as much. In reality it is about coaching and not how much you pay. There are more than just 3 A teams. TB has been practicing 2x a week for a long time. They have made a lot of progress and will continue to. Good for them for working hard. Don't make lies and excuses for them doing a good job.

Totally not a newbie here, and I won't stop advocating for what EVERY OTHER SPORT has long figured out. The whole "we're right and EVERYONE else is wrong" attitude is so laughable, it's pathetic.

That was for Madlax guy. He knows what 5- 2 means.

Battle on the Bay...who's playing it? They don't have a website (as far as I know). Curious as to what the level of competition will be.

5-2 guy? Come up with the other 2 wins. You can't. NXT Cup and Big 4 HHH Champion...Madlax has won the most competitive spring travel league in the country the last 3 years in a row. Get a life.

Your the Madlax posting on a Long Island thread how you dominate everyone. There is a team you don't dominate. You get a life. Now get off our site punk. Ps. V to II

If you would just answer the guy's question, maybe Madlax guy will go away.

Who are the Longboards? Are they a town team?

Taz pickup team. The can only play when Taz has the weekend off

They are a pickup team of Taz, TLI and others. Always very good no matter what group of boys are able to play that particular day.

The Kingsman team is made up of taz & pack kids. They will be hard to beat.

Do they have enough players?

2024 Schreiber is their top team. Very solid, Schreiber's new project. They should be very competitive going forward.

True Blue has been growing, The 2023s are top 4 and the 2024s are now top 4 and only going up. The 2025s will also be competitive this year. The only reason you other parents say negative things is because you never believed that these teams were top teams because you pay twice as much. In reality it is about coaching and not how much you pay. There are more than just 3 A teams. TB has been practicing 2x a week for a long time. They have made a lot of progress and will continue to. Good for them for working hard. Don't make lies and excuses for them doing a good job.

IGLOO B

agreed...all the good mojo out the window with that lose

Hopefully TB and any other team claiming top status will be playing Blatant and get matched up against the top teams to show they arent just plain lucky

They lack any real talent and Schreiber is not a great coach , the team has gone backwards. do not expect a great year for them

I'm sorry that your son was some of the dead weight that they got rid of, the team added more talent to a solid core and ask anyone who has played Schreiber's 2018's or 2019's if he is a good coach.

Even if it's 3 to 2, you still lose. It's 5 to 2, but even if I was wrong, you still lose. Yanks won 3, Indians won 2. Indians now go home. You lose Madlax guy , either way. You can write upside down. You can write diagonal. You can write in caps. Write Madlax 1000 times. We all know you lost a majority of the time to the top dogs. Lol.

I'm not saying 91 MD will win, I'm just saying that this nerd Madlax guy , comes on to this long island site and brags how good Madlax is. Yet our top team beat them a majority of the time. These are the facts.

Tourney machine didn't post results of TB and Igloo Frost bite. Did Igloo B really win? If so, what was the score?

Fact: who won the last one? Madlax

Who has dominated this age group for 3 years? Madlax

Who has the best player in the grade? Madlax

Deal with it, Tat Dad

You see, here's where you are incorrect. You may have the best player, I disagree. That's an opinion people are allowed to disagree. Once and for all, you seem to not be able to grasp this, they don't dominate everyone in age group because for the 20th time saying it, they lost a majority of the time when they played our top team. Now why don't you get a life, nobody on this board wants to keep reading the same stupid Madlax post. Oh yeah, you also said who won the last one. I have no idea what importance that has. It's majority. Head to head majority. You lose and you lose this argument. I win. You lose. Go into your rathole and type on your board.

yes IGLOO B won over TB

Honestly this person has a mental illness. They obviously have a sad existence and this is there only outlet. Sadly, he/she won't stop because looking at this board and saying nonsense is there only outlet.. People like this are exactly who pull guns out in theatres because someone is eating popcorn to loudly. # Mentalillnessisreal

The best player in this grade isnt even from Long Island or Maryland.

Let it go already. Who cares. You are just as bad as him. At least be keeps his post to 6 letters.

which means nothing.. Teams Win and teams lose. Happens all the time .

until you break down the 5 wins for us, we'll just continue to stick around. That's kind of what happens when you peddle fake news. BTW, MD91 has never beaten Madlax FYI. I'm sure that MM can confirm for you.

I'm going to type this very slowly so that you can understand. When it comes to rankings for any sports (football, basketball, lacrosse, hockey), they don't base it on one particular head to head result. They look at the entire picture. More recent events typically have a higher weight that older ones. It's not an exact science. They typically look at how that team has done against all competition, with a higher weight against the better teams. They look at head to head, championships, overall record, etc.

That is why your argument is laughable. Anyone who has seen this Madlax team knows that they are the best 2024 out there and they have proven it for years. That Long Island education (or lack thereof) has really dulled your brain.

My kid is a better attackman than the kid from CT and the kid from Madlax is far from the most dangerous offensive player. Did you really use the words "Most dangerous". lololol what a choad

Maybe. But it ain't the tall kid. Since you Mad-losers like bragging about your "best player on the planet", ON THE LI THREAD, I'm going to break it down for you from a coaches perspective. Lacks effort and quickness. Sluggish. Average to above average skills. Take the size away, an average player. Wait another year or two when the rest of the kids catch up to his size.

The Madlax guy came on here bragging how that teams dominates every team in the grade. How does a team dominate a team that beats them a majority of the time. There is no answer Madlax guy can give to this statement. None. He will say best player, more tourney wins, we will beat 91 MD. We were missing kids when we lost that day. Ref wasn't fair, schedule wasn't fair. Our goalie was sick.. our side of the field had sun, yours didn't. Lol .it goes on and on and on. Bottom line is you lost more than you won against that team . Go on to Pennsylvania or Massachusetts site. Maybe if you write Madlax rules on those sites, that statement might be true. This site it's false. I'm done with you.

Definitely a nice confidence builder for TB and a wake up call for Taz. However, based on TB's record against the B teams in the tournament, the win can be considered nothing more than an example of Taz looking past their next opponent, especially when it was expected to be very weak. It happens. A couple of more wins against quality opponents are needed before anyone other than TB parents take them seriously.

A word of caution to TB parents. Act like you've been there. Even when you haven't. Maintain your class. Remember, Taz is a very good team, with a long memory. Next time may not be such a pleasant experience for you. Especially if Taz doesn't take their foot off the gas...

I've got no horse in this fight, but "acting like you've been there" DOES NOT mean acting like a pompous [lacrosse], even when you have been there a lot. Unfortunately, that pomposity is pretty much the status quo from the top teams here on BOTC, and not just for the 2024s. I'd say that makes up 75% of the posts!

What happened to Team 24? They did not look good

BOTC is a daily must read.. I mean what other forum allows "grown" men to have anonymous pissing matches over who's 11yo team is the best while degrading the competition at the same time. Great stuff!!!!

Really? I've been on this site for several months now and haven't seen that behavior once, on the '24 thread, except in regards to the LI stalker, the Mad lax d-bags, who deserve everything they get. You are very transparent. The reality is, that exists only in your mind and in the minds of people like you. You are a jealous parent of a kid on a bad team, tired of reading about other kids successes, while your family sits on the sidelines experiencing mostly losses, against bad teams. That sound about right?? Must be very frustrating. I get it. Never fun losing all the time, no matter what the age. But, try to keep things in perspective. It's 11 year old lacrosse.

Check out the 2024 Maryland thread. Lots of mutual respect. Then look at the 2024 LI thread. Nothing but hate and filth. The same creeps are posting five and six times a day. I check this site about once every couple of weeks, and it never changes. Don't know why I bother. It is the same writing style, and the same comments, from the same people over and over again. Get a life. If you haven't figured it out by now, the Madlax posts are not from Madlax. Just pot stirrers, posing as someone else. When you fall for it, you are not some bad a$$ enforcer. You are only making yourself and the rest of us look bad.

It's all crap, I'll give you that. Although I've looked at the MD thread and it looks exactly the same to me. Mutual respect?? What are you on??

Madlax guy btw is one big pot stirrer. Obviously. But he is definitely a mad lax parent. He can't know what he knows and not be. So you're definitely wrong there too.

LOL. Madlax rules and the best LI has to offer is a B team.

Are the longboards better than TAZ?

Madlax would be 2nd best team on Long Island. It bothers that guy so much, he needs to post on out of state message board. Funny at first, now it's sad and a little creepy.

Do you actually read what you write prior to hitting post. I am cringing for you.
First and foremost this is definitely a Taz parent. In fact it has a certain blonde foul mouth mother's signature comments written ALL over this. In the future if you want to maintain your anonymity you might want to talk less on the sidelines.

Second, stop with the threats. You sound like a first class tool.

Finally, I'm not too sure what you're all smoking out east but that chip on your shoulder is quickly growing into a boulder. Problem with that is your kids are listening to you. They're developing that same chip, and that's why they're getting tossed mid game.

How many Express teams are there at this grade? I count at least three. That’s a lot of teams. I imagine they go A, B and C with Schwalje being the A. Which is the B?

Not a Taz parent and definitely not a chick! I’m your voice of reason, just keeping it real for you.

How many Express teams are there at this grade? I count at least three. That’s a lot of teams. I imagine they go A, B and C with Schwalje being the A. Which is the B?

There are 2 teams this year
Schwalje
O'Reilly

Madlax guy btw is one big pot stirrer. Obviously. But he is definitely a mad lax parent. He can't know what he knows and not be. So you're definitely wrong there too.

Trust me Madlax is not making the posts. Madlax doesn't even bother posting on the Maryland thread. It is pretty much dead. Everyone on the Island hates Taz and WP. They have brought it upon themselves. What better way to [lacrosse] them off then mention the one team that beat both of them this summer? When Taz and WP fall for the bait, it just makes them look like even bigger [lacrosse]es.

I would go so far as to say that 90% of the trash on this thread is Taz and WP parents. Everyone is getting sick of it. Grow up.

Taz kids may be talented players but I was very disappointed to hear what came out of their mouths this past tournament. If my son, at any age, every spoke the way these kids did, I would be horrified.

Really express dad aka taz dad.

Give credit to the longboard's ,are you really serious??????

Let's think about your statement.

Longboard's were 80% leg taz kid's who played in grade level bracket against all B teams. One of the B team's refused to play them once they were told they were taz AA kids.

Credit would be given to the them if they played up. The vast majority of teams like this play up. My guess they needed to T shirts.

the teams were week at the Havoc. Longboards struggled in a couple of games. None the less , hats off to them for the Win. I certainly do not hate WP or Taz. Hate is a term Jealous people use. Just saying. Longboards are def not better then Wp or Taz. The are mostly TAZ. Hope that answers all the questions

Only 2 teams
A = Schwalje
B =O'Reilly
C team never got off the ground.

Time to move on...Blatant up next. Who's playing?

Taz, Igloo, Outlaws, 24, S2S, True Blue, etc

Any Express or 91 teams playing? Anyone else?

Stop being such a wash woman. Maybe they are not as wealthy as you and the parents don't speak the way you do, but get over your horror, my God what a pansy.

I did hear from an Express dad during our Longboard's game that all 10 kids that stepped on the field were Taz kids. He seemed to know what he was talking about because he was throwing out name's of players very fast.

WTH???!

why do you hate TAZ and WP.!! because they Win. Come on, half the stuff parents say about these teams are so untrue. The boys, are kids and good kids. They train hard and play hard. really they are 11 year olds.. Get a hold of yourself...

When a tz dad pretends to post a comment as a LI express dad about due respect, "credit" , for winning a mediocre tournament against B rated teams brings all these unnecessary posts. Why don't you think express A did not participate after last year's episode.

You must be a parent of one of the boys. However he chose a different word to use. Class doesn't mean you are wealthy. I am far from wealthy, however I would hope to think my children show some respect and have class.

Crazy that the taz coaches even let this longboard team even play. Its not even a real team but pickup players. If i was involved with taz I wouldnt even want to be associated with it. Give it a break or stop before a kid risks injury or it becomes divisive and breaks up the culture of the tazteam which sources say already is happening at some key positions for other reasons

Words that I would never even say. Disgusting that 11 and 12 years old talk like this. I don't care if my son was a super star, I would never have him associate with boys who act and talk like that.

M A D L A X !!!!!

Madlax will do everyone a favor and CRUSH them.

One team maybe, the other team they will win something like 2 out of 7

Ruining the page??? Oh boy, you need some serious help, what a turd, First the kids offended your precious ears, now the page is ruined? Dude, seriously stop being such a P, unless you're a woman then it is completely appropriate

No dog in the fight. Question... what’s worse, an 11 year old using some unsavory language after a disappointing loss, or adults that are so obsessed with their jealousy that they “hate” 11 year old children, simply because they are better than their own children, at playing a game???

How can you have a problem with a bunch of kids wanting to play lacrosse?? Obviously you discourage your son from such activities. Maybe if he played more he’d be a better player and actually able to make a respectable team. Then, you wouldn’t be the jealous hater of 11 year olds that you are. A win win!

Yup. They should have checked what teams were in the bracket and then played up. Bad job by Longbords coaches. My guess is they wanted the easy T-shirt. But, it wasn’t billed as a B tournament, so if they didn’t check with the committee, it’s understandable.

Taz igloo s2s outlaws (two teams) true blue 24 express (upstate) no 91 or local express AA. When are brackets released ?

First of all, it wasn't words after a loss, this time around. It was while they were crushing another team. Talking down to other kids because they think they are better. I don't hate the child. I think it's sad that parents think it's OK to have kids treat others this way. Kids only learn from their parents. It's our job to teach them. Obviously you are doing a great job at training them in lax. Now try training them in being a human being.

When you throw out a truth you automatically get labeled a jealous hater who's underperformimg kid couldn't make a quality team. Yep your right, my 11 yo doesn't play on an elite team nor did he want to and im glad he doesn't He and his fellow teamates care more about having fun and playing with eachother than bragging about their victories and the parents actually like eachother and get along. Enjoy your tshirts and the reputation that comes along with having such a talented well behaved 11 yo

Stop. Nobody should hate anybody - it's youth sports. At least you love the LI blog. You should have gotten the team together and came up to the Blatant this week, all the top LI teams are there. But keep the amusing the rhetoric coming.

There are 3 brackets. AA, A and B. Both legs, both Igloos, both outlaws, both Express North teams, WP. Schwajle S2S. 3V,

Waa😭!! Just bc your son isn't asked to participate on any team - let alone a "pick up team- doesn't mean it needs to stop. As far as risk of injury- does your son play any other sport than lacrosse or does he sit home all day in bubble wrap- maybe another reason why he isn't ask to play on any pickup team. If you actually knew anything, you would've not made your post. Fake News!!!!

Longboards is basically a guy with Napoleon complex and tiny sons who he surrounds with very good players and goes against weak competition to get them some glory.
Even against B caliber talent they struggled,
Goes to show that the mighty mights window is rapidly closing

Trust me they are. We play for another club and I have a friends with a kid on the Madlax team. It is two dads and a kid yanking your chain (although they do have the best team in the country).

If you didn't take the bait (or insist they aren't the best), they would probably stop.

Stop. Nobody should hate anybody - it's youth sports. At least you love the LI blog. You should have gotten the team together and came up to the Blatant this week, all the top LI teams are there. But keep the amusing the rhetoric coming.

This was definitely not Madlax. Someone thinks its funny to pretend to be Madlax.

It is mildly amusing. If you don't think it is, you should lighten up and ignore it. The reason they don't post on the Maryland thread is because nobody cares on that thread.

That’s only if they feel sorry for them, which isn’t likely after reading all of these disrespectful posts.

Taz 23
TB 3

Not a Tazzie. A realist.

Another jealous hater of talented 11 year olds! You must be proud!

When you throw out a truth you automatically get labeled a jealous hater who's underperformimg kid couldn't make a quality team. Yep your right, my 11 yo doesn't play on an elite team nor did he want to and im glad he doesn't He and his fellow teamates care more about having fun and playing with eachother than bragging about their victories and the parents actually like eachother and get along. Enjoy your tshirts and the reputation that comes along with having such a talented well behaved 11 yo

He doesn't because he can't. Don't make it more than it is, which is nothing. You didn't like losing, then made up a story about the kids using bad language. Thanks sore loser.

5 to 2

Soon...

6 to 2

Then...

7 to 2

Guess what happens after that mad-losers?

8 to 2

Getting the idea???

Madlax is a good team. Can't beat them each time. I'd say next 5 games,score will be 8 to 4.

Story not made up! That's just stupid. Start teaching common manners to your children. This isn't the first time I've heard it.

Blatant times are up on tourney machine, be careful what you ask for True Blue Goat lol

I don't have a dog in this fight, but teams change every year. Some kids grow, some kids don't. New kids join, kids move. If you think anything other than the current year matters, you are a real loser. Get a life. I actually find the so-called Madlax posts less annoying. As I understand it, Madlax won the last game between Madlax and WP. If WP wants to get its bragging rights back, it should schedule another game.

The hate is real... does anyone on here have anything positive to say about any teams ? Taz true blue express 91 I'll 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 etc (even throw madlax on there )have great teams with 10-14 year old boys on them ..good programs with great players involved ...good luck to all of the children!!

True Blue let's their kids pick their team names. Can't the kids have any fun without being hassled ?

but yet it's not 5-2.....only 3-2. More Fake News. What's WP's record against Taz? Just curious....

Of course you are, you jealous hater of 11 year olds! I can imagine what you have endured over the past few years watching your sons horrible team lose, over and over and over again. Although I still can't understand how you and those like you can actually hate 11 year old children. That is sickening! Unfortunately for you, it's just likely to get worse. The chances of Taz losing twice to the same B team, is probably zero. I have a feeling the score is going to be very lopsided... possibly even ugly, in favor of the Taz. -Not a Taz Parent, but not a hater of children either!!

Team Frost?

I don’t think the poster hates children. You seem to have gotten a bit carried away there big guy. Maybe he is just rooting for the underdog, you know the whole David v Goliath thing. Maybe he like TB. And anyone that posts “ not a Taz parent” is most definitely a Taz parent. Good luck Saturday

interesting 91 has decided for their A teams to practice all sept, oct before playing tourneys in November. Across the board for most of the age groups

Most of those games were in 2016 more than a year ago anyway. Ask WP what happened at HHH when the refs had to stop the game for unsportsmanlike conduct? Or better yet check out the championship photo on Madlax's 2024 website.

You spend the time belittling 11 year olds that aren't yours and then defend your right to do so exclusively? Y'all need some Jesus. Or Xanax. Whichever one you can get first.

Whenever WP and Taz get obnoxious and forget that it is just 11 yr old lacrosse (which is pretty much every day), remind them which team beat both of them this summer. It will drive them crazy. Have fun and go TB!

Sooo let's get this straight, if you're offended by the behavior of the Taz organization as a whole, parents kids coaches ball boys whatever you hate children, if you don't want to see Taz win because of aforementioned you hate children, by way nice slipping in the derogatory comment about tb in your rant, and if you make any comment that does not glorify taz you hate children and obviously you have a child who is a 2nd rate b team player and you're just a jealous dad..not a Taz parent, youre are a tool in the kindest words possible, by way madlax will set your team straight this year

I don't know why you bother. Any parent that justifies 11 year old boys using profanity like what was used on the field last weekend, or worse, during a handshake, is not worth the key stroke. Those boys will not change because their parents are oblivious. Those words used on the field are most definitely a common occurrence in the home, they were on the sideline. Can't teach class. Especially on BOTC. Would not be surprised if the coaches/ directors put their foot down though. Can't imagine they want to be know for this type of behavior.

THANK YOU parents!!!

I must say, it is very flattering to read all of your posts that continually reference WP and Taz as THE benchmark for success, at the 2024 grade level.

As a parent on one of these teams, your endless posts that compare all other travel teams to these two great teams, in either a positive or negative context, are truly appreciated! In doing so, you honor our boys, a constant reaffirmation that these two teams are as good as it gets, anywhere, at this age. That is high praise indeed!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for this highest of compliments, and especially our good friends from VA, for your unending vindication of our boys efforts and superiority. We are humbled by the sincerity of your gesture.

As you know, our boys have worked very hard to earn this level of respect, and they do not take this distinction lightly. The boys now have a renewed energy to continue their hard work in their pursuit of excellence, and pledge to earn your trust every day!

From the Taz and WP families, THANK YOU!

5 wins - WP Rules
2 wins - Mad-daddies Drool......

Mad-daddies, try setting your sights on something more achievable, like the rest of the B teams in VA. I notice that your boys take all of their WP losses pretty hard. Or, maybe they are getting use to it now...

It's funny how tough you LI dads when you know Madlax is the best team in the nation. They have been for 3 years.

Ok we agree Madlax is the best no go the [lacrosse] away you stupid [lacrosse].

Agreed

Dude you don't get it. You're talking BS with that bad words stuff. I know you're trying to bash these teams, but you really need to get something more credible than that, which happens on every field across this planet. Very lame! Try to bring something to the table please! BTW, you continue to play right into his hands... YOU'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THEM!!! Is there anything going on in the world of 2024 lacrosse that doesn't rotate around these two teams?!!

As you know, our boys have worked very hard to earn this level of respect, and they do not take this distinction lightly. The boys now have a renewed energy to continue their hard work in their pursuit of excellence, and pledge to earn your trust every day!

From the Taz and WP families, THANK YOU!

By far, that was the dumbest thing ever posted on here.

Maybe, but there are a lot of other candidates for that distinction. . . but, it's definitely up there!

benchmark of success!! Really?? guess wins and losses is all you care about. Respect and sportsmanship go a long way, try teaching that to yourselves and kids, and just a tip you prob already know, sarcasm is not your strong point

Dude you don't get it. You're talking BS with that bad words stuff. I know you're trying to bash these teams, but you really need to get something more credible than that, which happens on every field across this planet. Very lame! Try to bring something to the table please! BTW, you continue to play right into his hands... YOU'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THEM!!! Is there anything going on in the world of 2024 lacrosse that doesn't rotate around these two teams?!!

Oh ok I'm sorry for responding to Tazzies ridiculous, pathetic self indulging rant. Let's just ignore them and hope they go away so the rest of the non- elite teams can have a say..hear that madlax man

Only 2 day left for tb to brag there the best

There goes another one! The crazy guy is right. Based on this thread, 2024 lacrosse does revolve around these two teams, because no one can stop talking about them.

Just like everyone else on here I don't know Jack

Taz only beat Igloo by one goal at the very end last time. I'm thinking Tax will go 1 and 2 losing to both TB and Igloo.

if you can turn back time (Cher) and check the 2022 thread there was a 91 team that was lights out no one could beat them or even come close, said it was the second coming of the 91 Crush then they started losing some games then lost to multiple town teams then they vanished. My son played on that team and is now with a new club because the parents ruined it. DONT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!

Anyone who is paying attention to 2024 lax knows that TAZ and Pack are small and slow. When they lose again it won't be a surprise. Very talented lax players but you can't teach size and speed.

There is zero shot they lose to TB this weekend. Have to assume only 12-13 kids play in that game. Nothing against TB, they had a great win but Taz will dominate on Sat

More talk about Taz and Pack. Your obsession with greatness is just too much to overcome, apparently. Thank you! Keep comparing to THE BEST!! WE ARE FLATTERED!!

Ahhhhh! The pot stirring biggie-middie daddy from the tryouts has reemerged after a two month hiatus! Where you been?? As I recall, back in August you claimed that both Taz and WP were getting rid of all of their little stud players and replacing ALL of them with new biggie players. In fact, you called it... "FACT". Sorry, biggie-pot stirrer, you lost all credibility when not one bit of that happened! But most of us knew that, then, right? Now you are back... claiming once again to be the inside expert for both teams, with your tired old biggie rant, but you aren't a parent of either team. Suggestion. If you like this whole pot-stirring gig, get some new material. The biggie thing has long run it's course. Very lame at this point.

Everyone still has a healthy obsession with the AA teams I see. Obviously you all just can't get enough. It must be human nature, society's obsession with athletic prowess.

I for one think this talk is great, all of you parents putting our children on pedestals, giving them rock-star type recognition. I admit, it's a little overwhelming at times, but we are getting use to it.

The only talk I've read is the display of poor sportsmanship and arrogance of your kids, must have missed the pedestal and prowess thread.

Igloo A is the best 2 loss team on the island. I heard they only lost to the B team by a goal as well when they scrimmaged.

Yeah don't confuse your size and speed and TRY to equate to it lacrosse. Maybe you should have a better FIELD IQ

He’s right. I remember it too. Nothing changed with either team. Try peddling your BS on the mad Lax thread. Maybe they haven’t heard it yet. Or think of something a little more fresh!

Naw. You got it beat, with your recycled biggie post. Talk about DUMB!! Can’t believe you’re starting that again! It was idiotic the first time! You want biggie fries with that?!!

Channy calling in a favor and having Blatant schedule changed for North? I wonder why the last minute switch. Times and fields are all still the same. North goes from playing 2 of the teams that have already played in a tournament and created some buzz with their recent win to playing I guess what they perceive as weaker teams.

Which North team are you referring too?

Why is Express A not playing? Schwalie busy again? Has that started!!

Is this the same true blue team? I thought Jaguar was the A team?

Bracket went from 8 to 7 teams so all teams got switched. Nice try though

Yes, it's their A team and the results will be much different than their Columbus Day results

Jaguars is B, Goat is A. Last season, there was only one TB 2024 team, and it was Jaguars.

The same sicko posting every day and than replying to his or her same post pretending to be a Taz parent. You are a sick man/woman, whatever you are. There are far more important things in life than youth lacrosse. You should think about that and be thankful for what you have. Take a look in the mirror, you are a bad person. Yeah you. Fix it, there is still time. Have a nice day.

The same sicko again, and continuing to have conversations with yourself. Naming a child but being smart enough and knowing that there isn't a child with that name on the team, very creepy, you must know this team. You are a bad bad person. Something tells me you will be exposed soon. Just a hunch.

There is an AGWAY just down the road on Jericho if you want to buy some oats for the animals!

As much as it pains me to think that kids are this site, I am praying that in this case it is true. If any part of this conversation was written by an adult you need your head examined. For the person that commented last... there have been many many more atrocious post written anonymously without "exposure" if you will, than what this kid wrote. If you truly believe that you're "hunch" will come to fruition... fat chance. Little advise... stay off the site if you're so easily offended. Stick to snap chat and my space.

They really brought their A game and never let up. 99 out of a 100 games Taz beats TB. Columbus Day was that one day for TB.

North lost 10 to 8 to taz. That was a good game

Taz should of played 2023. Waist of time. Need to get better, playing inferior teams not helping them getting to next level.

Taz will go 1 - 2. Not make it to the finals. TB & Igloo will beat them.

Yet another EASY t-shirt for the Taz boys tomorrow! Probably won't break a sweat all day.

Where did all you TB chest pounders go?? Been pretty quiet. A little wake up call today gentlemen? Hope you enjoyed your 5 minutes of fame because it’s back to the status quo in 2024 lacrosse. And TB is back to obscurity.

Winning 14-0 is a class act?
I guess that's as classy as Taz can hope for.

I'm sure you said the same thing going into Columbus Day - how'd that work out for 'ya?!

Great team, boys are great players and congrats to them. But posts like that because you drove him to tourney are stupid. You won nothing. You are nothing. They don’t give parents tvshirts.

Haters gonna hate! I watched Taz today and they are as good as it gets in 2024 age group. Pleasure to watch.

I'm sure the boys are wonderful but as far as coaches An parents the taz organization at 2024 is the most classless I've seen !!

Gotta agree. While they did obviously have to redeem themselves after the worst loss they ever had, they need to stop playing a bunch of teams they know they are going to beat. Definitely should have played up.

Yes, it is a class act. Obviously you are use to watching a bunch of bad B teams in Nassau County, where the score doesn't get into double digits. Well now your boys are playing with the big boys from Suffolk, where the score could have easily been 24-0, so yes 14-0 is a big favor.

Igloo , express, ? Inferior teams. Really !!! Tax is just great. Deal with it!!!

When there is nothing else you can complain about because your sons team was completely outclassed today, make up some stuff about the coaches and parents. I get it, jealous haters are going to hate, but please come up with something more credible than that. Very lame! C'mon now, you can do better!!

When they are taking 5k dollars from each parent do you honestly believe the coaches are going to do anything to control them or their kids? Taz can enjoy their meaningless victories now but when they get to high school when all this really matters they will be in for a rude awakening. H.S. Coaches are not gonna put up with their arrogance regardless of their physical prowess as the parents like to boast about

There were some competitive and entertaining 2024 games at Blatant yesterday. No parental sideline drama and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves

When Taz loses , the parents say they are done, no good. When they win , they should be playing up, ....Makes me laugh. Stop with the jealousy. Just let it go . I have seen Taz and WP play many times, Those kids know how to play lacrosse . All teams should inspire to play the way they do.

Correct. Nothing new here. WP and Taz are the AA. Express and Igloo are the A. Then a whole bunch of B and C teams. Status quo.

Taz has a great team but they seemed to have their hands full with Express North

Shhhhhhh. I can’t hear True Blue this week. Lol

Pathetic does not do this juvenile post Justice, not a jealous parent by the way , which you will likely accuse me of being

Taz was man down 9 times in that game. Including a 2 min unreleasable. If you watched the game it was not as close as score seemed. Also, express north is a very good team

What is the record between Taz and Madlax? Isn't it like Madlax 12-Taz 1?

Against who?? TB? Express North? You really kept track of penalties that closely??? Very doubtful somebody actually counts penalties that closely, especially when it’s tjat many.

I hear trump is inviting taz to the white House

TB had lots of smack at Columbus Day. We did not bring in outside kids, kids are bigger stronger, we have been working hard, whatever. 14-0 big difference. Sounds like the roster was different. You can ramp up for one game or tournament but you will be found out over time.

They lost to igloo A by one goal and express by 3. Who all had competitive games with taz. They did not have a good game. That's ok. You parents Need to relax and no TB parent is on here bad mouthing anyone. You taz parents are on a new level.

Of course not. The jealous haters have nothing constructive they can say about the game, so the only thing left is to make stuff up about the parents. There’s a word for that. Losers!

I know. What an idiotic comment. It’s well known that Igloo is by far the most expensive club on LI. Moron.

Is that the same express North team at the Halloween Havoc last weekend that went 1-2 ?

Not a Taz Parent, but let’s try to keep it real here. They had a whole lot to say until yesterdays smack down!! Couldn’t shut them up!! “Bad game”?? Really?? 14-0 without a single shot on goal is not just a “bad game”. That team shouldn’t have been on the same field vs Taz. TB is not even a decent B team. Sorry guy. They still have a long way to go.

Your first point about Taz being man down so many times infers that EN isn't a very good team and the score was only Cloe due to the man down, yet them you say that EN is very good and THAT is the reason the score was close. It really can't be both as they are contradictory statements. I have no skin in this game, but it always amazes me when someone makes an argument to support any position that is based upon illogical and/or unreasoned thought processes.

True boo hoo can not take it...does it hurt...rude awakening in high school . Love all the far fetch comments. TB BLUE PARENTS ARE THE PROB... everyone knows it!!!

Lol. What about the teams that are D-Z? There is no AA teams and no C teams. There are only A and B. Some A teams are better and some B teams are worse. Otherwise just has Taz and WP play each other 4 times every weekend and all the other teams will play tournaments.

Really...TB parents . They are perfect...it must of been other parents pounding their chests and trashing everyone..

WP and Taz are going to throw them around like rag dolls again this year, just like the MD teams.

Can’t wait for the next beat downs!!!!

True Blue parents writing checks but the boys didn't have funds in the bank to cover.. Take some advise speak less so your boys don't have a target on their backs.

Gotta luv the grammar police.... instead of caring about spelling go in the backyard and teach yur kid to cradle.. TB is terrible and so r the parents. Dub T at its finest. Maybe work on catching too from all the dropped passes we had to endure this weekend...

Very Sad here to have all these issues with these bullying issues, what ever happened to For the love of the game? Back in the 80’s and 90’s everyone knew each other, hung with each other, now it’s out to Murder each other, couldn’t believe I heard that one. It was a game of friendship. I met so many people at the summer games down at Cantiague Park. Hanging with all the boys. Now it’s a cutthroat game. Too many parents berating their kids coming off the field, can’t imagine what it’s like on the way home. What is wrong with you people, hiding behind the keyboard. A bunch of bullies! What are you doing to your kids, let them be kids, let them play for the love of the game! Bring it back to the way it was.

Madlax lost 2 games this weekend, lol, hey Madlax guy how do you feel now. It's know big deal, but because you wouldn't shut your mouth, you look like a fool.

Even the Patriots loose. Just wait until the full team is back. One play day is really meaningless, so don't think you're a good father now that you're finally able to celebrate a victory

Wow. Took a whole 24 hours for the excuses to start flying! You been hung over from drowning your sorrows in martinis?? How about sun glare? Traffic? The dog are the home work. Cmon now, let’s hear the rest of them.., BTW. Excuses are for losers. Fitting, huh??

Classic....enjoy your fall play day wins. Anyone that knows the Madlax team would know there were at least 4 starters missing today. But that's okay because your boys won today and you enjoy it and the false sense of security that comes along with it and keep talking about how Madlax will go down this year. Hard to go up for sure when you've been at the top for so long. Even if the whole team would of been there its still hard to beat a team 8 times in a row (team 9* MD) or 12 times in a row (Looneys). But you're only as good as your last game so we will wait and see how the spring season games go and who's talking smack then.

Love your cliche. You are only as good as your last game, which you lost. How fitting, aye mad-daddy! Love the excuse you threw in there too!! Excuses are for losers and you and your little team are big time LOSERS. Again, very fitting. The applie doesn’t fall far from the tree! Another great cliche fer ya’ll.

Never heard of one of the better AA teams losing 2 out of 3. But then again, Madlax never was an AA team, so that makes total sense.

Looking forward to the easy game against madlax in the summer so our boys can rest up for the good teams like 91 MD and BLC. An easy out as usual.

MAD DADDY LOSERS!!!!

1 win
2 losses

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ...........

Surprised no one is talking about the full out brawl between the 24 lightning and Legacy Launch kids. I never seen anything like that at this age. More surprising is the Ref's didn't call the game. No need for that nonsense at this age.

If your not a Taz Parent, why do you care or even comment?

I just told you... keeping it real!!

If we are gonna keep it real, you should keep your negative comments to yourself. They serve no purpose but to belittle a team and their parents. We all understand that those few teams on the top want to keep all other teams out so they can feel special. Not sure why that is though. Maybe in the future just comment on your kids team and the games he plays.

Madlax guy, you must be so embarrassed. Lol. Good thing your anonymous.

Funny cause I remember Taz parents saying act like you have been there before just 1 week ago. Take your own advice. And remember, all your smack talk will never erase the fact that TB beat you and your 1-1 against them.

14-0 without a shot on goal. Enough said.

Taz is a top AA team. TB is a bad B team, when they don't cheat and bring their best 2023 players. Classless organization. Surprised you parents put up with that. Obviously no back bone.

MAD LAX LOSES TO 91 MD & LOONEYS BY... 4 GOALS EACH!!!

******************************************************************************

Mad daddy, what happened yesterday? Nobody expects your little team to compete with an AA team like 91 MD, but now you're losing to everyone! HA HA HA!!!

By 4 goals!! According to you, that is a total butt kicking and I agree with you!

Mad lax's days of being an A team have officially expired. Now they have no shot of ever being an AA team!!

They will be dismantled by Spring.

Couldn't have happened to a better D-BAG!!

Bye, bye Mad-daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha HA HA HA!!!!!

As a bystander to this whole thing, and having read all of the posts the last few weeks, a few observations: 1. Taz looks like every pejorative term they invoke about others (particularly the "act like you've been there" quote - that's truly rich now in perspective), 2. The cheating comment is laughable considering that, as noted, the TB 2023 team was playing in another tournament in a different location with ALL of their top players, 3. The idea that you or anyone else continue to assess any/most teams that are not AA as being B (now "bad B" no less!!) is asshattery at its finest, and the fact that you lost to such a 'bad B' team, even if just once, impugns Taz even more so.

You all really need to get over yourself! To anyone watching this all play out, you (parents) look like absolute fools!

you're right. I too come on BOTC for the Advertising...Its crazy this site is usually very informative.. hahahah . DO NOT POKE BEAR!!!!

Because their parents teach them this is normal part of the game, take that into Middle School and HS and see how fast your a$$ is kicked off the team. Most schools have a one and done policy.

This whole post completely full of BS only PROVES one thing.

The Mad Lax guy is most definitely from Mad Lax.

Got that LI poster who use to think otherwise?!!! Isn't that right, Mad-daddy d-bag?!!

Obviously this is not a parent from TB. TB had all of their players. They lost to igloo A in braveheart, had a good game against express and were to nervous against taz. It is 11 year old lacrosse you know. At times there are to much pressure and kids break down. No one is making excuses you guys won, good game, it is 1-1 remember. We are happy with how the fall went and the kids will continue to get better.

Same response:

14-0. Not a shot on goal the whole game. Nuff said!

Outside of Express and Legacy who is playing this Tri Star Oktoberfest this weekend?

Mad daddy is right here, TZ and WP girlfriends, so let's set the record straight....I don't get internet access in the sticks. This was a fall playday, with no league or tournament title at stake. As a result, Madlax didn't have its full squad, just like TZ probably didn't have their full squad against TB last weekend. Madlax usually comes with 20+ players, but only had 16 on the sidelines yesterday, 19 wasn't there, nor was another starting attackman or 2 of their other top line middies. These kids play other sports besides lacrosse, but rest assured, come tournament time, 91MD and Looney's will be in the same spot as they've been the last two years.

All teams are missing kids. Stop with the excuses, just last week you were saying that Madlax would roll this weekend, now you lose it's called a play day. You are ridiculous. You are writing on a thread that's not even a Maryland thread, you having a losing record against long islands top team and now your team lost 2 out of 3, you sound even more stupid now then you did last week. My advice Madlax guy, be quiet.

Thank you so much for coming to our thread Mad lax guy and volunteering all of your endless excuses for your kids getting their butts completely kicked by two out of three teams this weekend. I know how stupid you must feel, after all of the stalking and bad mouthing you have done on this thread. But, we are very tired of all your excuses... (by the way you forgot to blame the refs... that's always a great one... you can use it next time). Losers make excuses, but we have already been over that haven't we! Sorry, though, no time to chat with you anymore since Madlax has now dropped to B status. Rumor has it, some of your players are talking to 91 MD, so you may want to do the same, and eat a little crow while you're at it! HA HA HA HA!!!

Hi mad daddy. Took you a long time to emerge from your hole after your best team on the planet got embarrassed this weekend. Thought we'd never hear from you again, after such an outing. No one could blame you. You must be embarrassed. Humiliated. Mortified, after all of your big Mad talk, and stalking of our thread. What goes around comes around, Mr Mad-laddie. Can't wait for an easy game against Mad lax next summer. You know, it's always nice to give the boys a cupcake in their tourney's, to rest up for the championships. Mad daddy, how does it feel to be Long Island's cupcake... huh, cup cake?!!

Madlax Rules!!! Long Island Drools !!!

Right, remember it's JUST a fall play day when you get a beatin'. Although last year, for some reason the fall appeared to matter. Here's the Madlax Fall 2016 summary right off the front page of their site.

"FALL 2016 WRAP -UP
Madlax-Capital 2024 won every game it played this fall winning 3 tournaments in the process. Weekend training sessions all September and October paid off as they won the Halloween Havoc (2023 division), MD Invitational and Crabs Autumn Classic events in November. They head into the winter excited about the future and the spring season."

THE BOTC police are out... oh no run, run...... all in good fun .. All in good fun. Take what you read here , with a grain of salt FAKE NEWS!!!! no one comes on here to sell girl scout cookies

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that the Outlaws put both their 2024 teams in the B bracket? and the "A" team didn't even get into the championship!!! Outlaws also put their 2025 in the B bracket as well.

What is going on with the OUTLAWS????

PB finally realized he didn't have an A team and put the boys in the correct bracket.

you have to respect that they know they do not have a true A team. Both B teams. They put their teams where they Belong. They walked away with a championship. Hats off to them.

I believe that their 2024 teams are at a similar level (i.e., two "strong" B teams instead of one A and one B). I'm not sure why they would do this though. I just heard second hand so take this with a grain of salt.

Seems you've answered your own question . . . .

Madlax 2024 was upset by both Looney's and Team 91 MD. Looks like there are now three teams from the Mid Atlantic that will be pummeling LI all year long.

You can call one select if you like but both teams are B

Just be happy the Outlaws are moving on from its old 2024 Select coach. He really set the program back years.He was a terrible coach and is hated by every parent in his town. His sons CYO basketball team hate him too.

Outlaw 2024 Teams are called

The B coach was moved up to replace the A coach, however he was not allowed to pick all the players he wanted so he said thanks but no thanks and returned to his old team.

That is true but what wasn't said is there was 4-5 select players that left because they thought the B Coach was going to have practices way out east. It wasn't worth it for them to stay so they moved on to other teams. That disrupted the whole select team leaving them to acquire many new players. Too many to judge if that team will be a select A team again. Have to wait for Spring to see.

no one cares, they have 2 teams and they play where they think appropriate now lets move on to the next topic.

neither of the 2024 teams are ready to compete with Taz, WP, Igloo at this point. they will eveluate them in the spring and see where they are at. they can compete with all other teams on the island right now

This thread is irrelevant ... because MADLAX Rules !!!!

Igloo in the same group as Taz and WP??? Come on igloo Daddy, just because you didn’t make there teams you don’t have to put your sons team in the same sentence as them. You guys are good but not that good.

Yeah, yourr right. Taz and WP should stop playing lacrosse and go fight aliens in another galaxy to help save the universe. All the other B teams will stay here and play lax. Good luck and god speed Taz and WP

In all seriousness, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Madlax success revolves around one player, their small attackman. He runs their whole offense and is their playmaker. The other boy is a non factor. The rest of the kids are role players. Want proof of that statement? Madlax lost to Looneys by 4 goals this past weekend and they did not have x player, but they did have the other player and the rest of their players. Friends, No disrespect to 2024 Looneys intended but they are a B team at best. Relative to an A or AA team, they are simply not good. Top LI teams would beat them by at least 10. Probably a lot more than that. If you want to guarantee a victory against Madlax, lock off their best player, and they are instantly an average team, at best. I’ve seen this team play many times. This is not fake news. Coaches, take note. [/quote]

Depends on who you ask - if you ask the AA teams, then they'r it - everyone else is "B"! If you asked realistic, unbiased people, those who actually get what it means to run, coach and assess youth sports, you're probably going to get a list of about 8 - 9 teams. And that's the same general problem with every on LI. The lax mafia thinks they have some super select private club . . .

It’s ridiculous to say there are 2 A teams and everyone else is B. It’s like saying if your not top 25 in NCAA then your not Div. 1. Who thinks like that? There are more like 20 A teams. If you want to be this super elite team and everyone else is a B team in your eyes, go play 2023 teams.

Yup, but that's the exact assessment for EVERY age of lax on LI - the AA teams (which nobody disputes are deserving of being called elite) say that they, and then maybe, IF they're feeling gracious, they'll throw in the next 2 - 3 non-AA teams, as comprising all that is A - everyone else is B. The lax mafia does not think that LI (of all places!) has any more than 5 A teams at AT ANY AGE GROUP! You can see this on every age board on BOTC - it's absolutely the dumbest approach to youth sports I've ever seen.

Not you again... OK, here we go, again. Two teams are significantly better than the rest. Always have been. The 2nd tier of Express and Igloo do a fairly respectable job against both teams, but can't stay within 5-6 goals of either. You want to put all four teams in an A category, that makes sense to me. Here's the issue. The rest of the teams can't stay with 15 - 20 goals of either WP or Taz. You want to put some of those teams in the same group? That makes no sense for any team. If those teams are in a tourney bracket, both Taz or WP should play up (and one of them always does for that reason), for the benefit of their team, and the benefit of the team that they would destroy. No person with more than a single brain cell can dispute that. The only person that keeps disputing that has obviously not seen the AA teams play. That is the landscape of LI youth lacrosse at this age, and it's been that way since 2nd grade, when they started youth travel for this age group.

Again - NO ONE disputes the top two teams being that much better. But, just because THEY are that good does NOT mean that teams below them are somehow relegated down. There are a bunch of teams below that can play reasonably well together (even in losing), but totally and consistently dominate what should truly be considered B teams. That this has been the case for this age group since they started club play changes none of that assessment - if they are truly "too good" for the rest of the teams in their age group, then play up all of the time - why ever play in 2024 unless they know they are playing against equally elite teams? Personally, I don't care if they play up in 2023 or in 2024 because that has nothing to do with whether other teams below them are A or not - they are so far above everyone, they don't figure in to that assessment - it's not a sliding scale - , and that is the point. The bigger picture is that this attitude exists in many, if not most, other ages of LI lacrosse, and in many of those cases, the top teams are not quite as dominant as Taz and WP for their ages, but they still want to relegate any but the top 2 -4 as being the only A teams on LI - it's an even weaker argument there, but a symptom of the same prevailing idiocy, and largely perpetuated by the same small group of clubs. Taken to its 'logical' conclusion, this argument suggests there are ALMOST no non-AA "A" teams anywhere, for if LI (and MD) doesn't have any then who does??

Ok. And your point is...

If you are the dad of one of the B teams on LI, then you probably don't care. But, if your sons team is going to play Madlax, you may want to take note.

I know that at least Express is going to play Madlax this weekend. Maybe there are other LI teams. You will notice the tall boy, because he is at least 6" taller than everyone else on the field. However, he is not your concern. Their team revolves around their best Attackmen. He is highly skilled, very fast with an incredible IQ for a player his age. Most goals go through him in the form of an assist or the finish. Basically, any A team can beat Madlax if this player neutralized, in the form of a lock. There are no other playmakers on that team... all basicly average players.

If Looney's can beat this team without x player, then any A team on the planet can beat them, if their best player is neutralized. Kudos to the boy.

Just because your kid plays on one of the 25 club teams on LI doesn't make them an "A" team. Most of the B or C teams do at least one away tourney. Ask yourself, how did your LI "A" team fare against out of area or state competition? I would bet they won some games and lost plenty too. They definitely didn't roll. which proves either everyone is an A team on LI and everywhere else or Johnny is on a B team.

Show me where I said 25 LI teams were A - that's a mighty wide gap between 3 and 25. I'm sure you like making a "black and white" argument in a world of many shades of grey because that's the easy way out, but it's not very effective.

Now we have C teams too? Jeez. So there is AA, A, B and C? You guys should just make A and B and number rank them. Then you can all cast votes each week as to each teams rank. Do a top 25 list.

Dude. It's very clear that you are desperately trying to justify your sons existence in the sport of lacrosse, and you think that if somehow you can classify all Long Island teams as A teams, which of course only exists in your mind, then he is on an A team and all is right with the world. Fine. I'm totally good with that. Everyone is an A team. New topic already!

2 aa teams. , 5 A teams the rest b.....but that will change once some of the a and b teams shut down and combine . There is still a lot of talent out there , just scattered amongst all these lacrosse clubs. Just my opinion...

Totally not my point and no where near an accurate assessment of me nor my son nor his team. That you miss the point isn't surprising, especially since your "take" on this is worse than the guy who posted that somehow I was saying 25 teams are A. It's amazing how so many here only view anything posted as being representative of what it means to "me". As someone who is both involved with my community's youth sports organization, organizationally and as coach, much of my commentary is based upon what would benefit the sport as a whole. The "me" only mentality has to make one wonder how any progress is ever made in moving a sport forward. At the same time, maybe it explains why there is very little progress in that regard as it pertains to LI lacrosse. Between the self-centeredness and myopia as evidenced in these posts, if any progress is made, it will be by the few on LI who actually think beyond themselves, their sons, and their clubs, OR will be because of efforts from externally that make their way across the sport in general. If the latter, it will have been a shame considering LI's rich history in the sport. At least I can say that I reach out to those in the lax world that might be able have an impact by expressing my thoughts and ideas to effect change.

Hormones raging again honey?!! Easy on the drama. You must be a nightmare for your old man. I should have added a qualifier to that post. Not for parents of B-Z kids. Directed at A and AA parents only. I understand your frustration. If I had a kid that sucked and was on an even suckier Team, I probably wouldn’t care either. But go easy on all the drama, queenie!!

There are 4 aa teams now Taz,Pack,Express Igloo.Even Express North That's how it works. As the kids get older there is more parity. You will notice that this year. all 4-5 teams can play each other and be competitive.

There are 4 aa teams now Taz,Pack,Express Igloo.Even Express North That's how it works. As the kids get older there is more parity. You will notice that this year. all 4-5 teams can play each other and be competitive.

Just curious. Which team is your son on, Express or Igloo??

Happy now with your make believe categories? FYI. There are no categories. If you haven’t noticed, the kids practice and play in tournaments. Your fantasy divisions don’t exist except in your mind. Now let’s move on to something slightly less conceptual and talk about something that actually exists. Enough already!!

I swear, this topic is all one guy answering his own questions. STOP with the categories! We get it. You want divisions. But it doesn’t exist and it’s never going to happen. Enough! You beat this to death. Again. Again. And again!! Next topic!!

You totally miss why proper team categorization IS important - every tournament is entirely level driven, whether it be one of two levels. The fact that there is no objective team assessment at the general level is why tournaments have mismatches all over the place, it's why parents have misconceptions about the teams their boys might play for, etc. It's a major contributor as to why lax as a youth sport is a poop show. Youth hockey, along with having gotten age-based play right, also has very clear designations for team skill levels, and their tournaments have more appropriate and, therefore better, competitive play.

Definitely a nice confidence builder for TB and a wake up call for Taz. However, based on TB's record against the B teams in the tournament, the win can be considered nothing more than an example of Taz looking past their next opponent, especially when it was expected to be very weak. It happens. A couple of more wins against quality opponents are needed before anyone other than TB parents take them seriously.

A word of caution to TB parents. Act like you've been there. Even when you haven't. Maintain your class. Remember, Taz is a very good team, with a long memory. Next time may not be such a pleasant experience for you. Especially if Taz doesn't take their foot off the gas...

That’s the West Chester Team correct? They are listed on tourney machine as LI Express.

The gap is closing on Taz. 7 to 6 OT win today. They are not dominating on LI.

Great day of lax at Mitchell. Got to spend it with friends and had special bagels and friendship. Friends are fun.

Madlax lost again ...

Outlaws2024 A team does well in another tourney ! Look out A teams

I hope your friend didn’t stiff you with the bill for the bagels. That’s not a friend.

Dear B team dad. Express has been the closest team to the AA teams on LI for a couple of years now. Are they getting closer? I don’t know. Time will tell. The other team is Igloo. We’ll see what happens, but there is no news here. They are where they have been for the past two years. Still can’t beat the big guns. But they are very respectable teams. The rest of the LI travel teams are also in the same place. Still B team status. Once again, nothing has changed. Two AA teams. Two A teams. And a whole sh*t load of B teams.

Guys, check out tourney machine, as mad daddy suggests. They are in a B tourney playing all B teams! Guess they are trying to build their confidence back up after being the lowly Loooney's lady last weekend, losing 2 of 3 games. How embarrassing! Unfortunately winning takes a lot more than just confidence, so you'll be in the B tourneys for the foreseeable future!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Or maybe Taz is the most inconsistent 2024 team on LI. They might beat Express by 14 next time, or maybe they'll lose...

Good team, but they definitely appear to be on the decline. Not sure they are a top 5 team (nationally) anymore. Thoughts??

Yeah you're right. No good teams entered. They were always a cut below. Now they look like they have dropped off considerably. A couple of more losses and the madlaxative will be silenced for good! What a scum bag.

New topic. What teams have the best FOGO's? Who has the worst?

express can not even beat Wolfpack or Taz. What are they 0-20 against them . I know you it hurts inside. They may eventually win a game... but not this year 0-10 my prediction for this season Def closing the Gap. DEF.... NOT.

Heck no!!!!! My son is a 4th line middie on one of the teams that played and he caught a pass today!!!! So happy!!!!

Hey Tazzie parents keep drinking your beers at 8am. By 1p you guys are loud losers and when you won the game in OT it looked like you never have been there defore. You are embarrassing your kids and IMHO are lowlifes. Keep embarrassing yourselves it’s very amusing.

Very good team. Don’t believe they declined, but perhaps may be plateauing. This is common. Other teams are catching up. It will be interesting to see how WP fairs. Will they plateau as well or are they on another level like everyone says.

Or maybe Express is the inconsistent one. The fact remains that they can not win against the top. EVEN WITH ALOT OF HELP !!!

Not an impressive fall for taz how will they adjust to losing in the spring more often

Express is so inconsistent. Schwalje can't decide who he's going to bench next. They will never beat Taz with him coaching.

That is to funny to even respond with anything more than HAHAHAHA...

After the day's first meeting and holding express scoreless for 38 minutes, express figured they would load up with 2023 players for a finals rematch they didn't even qualify for .
oh yea don't forget to make sure the refs were aware who's tournament they were Reffing ,calling back goals and no calls on hits to the head or hits from behind,as well as making the last two minutes of the game take 7 minutes hoping express would score.
kudos to express,they pulled out all the stops and still fell short yet again.
Next time try the 2022 players....you'll get there guys
That was the most blantant show of one sided officiating I have ever witnessed

Hard to say Outlaw Rotolo is an A team. They barely beat T91TS (a b team) in the semi finals and got handled by 2way (an a team) in the finals of Pumpkin Shootout yesterday. Goalies played well in both games but imho they're a good B.

Dumbest thing I have ever read. Same group of kids all day. Sounds about right for that group of parents. Loved hearing from the Express players the [lacrosse] talking coming from Taz kids. I have read about it. Now I have seen it. As we slowly watch your kids burnout, I feel sorry for you. Express rolled their bench and all played. Same with Taz? Classless group, top to bottom. Enjoy your fading 5 minute of fame. Grade school burnouts!

So if you beat all the b teams, and lose to an A team. Your a B team? Lol. 91 TS select was a good team. Call them what you want. Game was not quite as close as the score says. Outlaws controlled the ball, the tempo and the clock. 2way was very good. Middies were extremely big 11 y/o’s. Btw. No one on the Outlaws cares about your anonymous A/B rank No system.

The ranking committee doesn't care about anything you stated, they only care about who you beat and how many times.

The dumbest thing is that you think what you say has any merrrit , Express still lost Twice in one day , to the same team. FACT!!! To be EXACT . So the only thing burning is your temper , because your kids fall short all the time. It's about them , and by trying to stir crap up on BOTC DOES NOT HELP YOUR KIDS IN ANYWAY. Was really sad to see how the ReFS called that game. Everyone knows it, including you.

That's fair. In my opinion, and that means absolutely nothing, the closeness of the game against the B team compared to the way they were handled by an a team would put them as a very good B team. Completely subjective but it was the topic of the thread. In regards to 91TS, not knocking them and thought they played well. The Outlaw goalies were the difference in that game for me.

Absolute disgrace. Confirmed they have 7 th graders on team. At least 10 horrible calls to try to win a game. Still lost

Glad you enjoyed the event but that is a B minus tourney, dude.
Suggest you stay on that side of the sound. It'll get messy if you crossed the Whitestone and played a real team. Just sayin

Not even sure what that comment is supposed to mean or the just sayin part. Especially since the conversation was about a LI team. Which if it was a B- tourney and they didnt win, wouldnt that reinforce the thought that they are a B team? Either way, I thought the Outlaws were well coached, had a nice group of parents (of which I imagine you are not one) and competed hard. The weather was an A+ for us B- tourney goers.

Side note: Idle threats about 11 year old lax on an anonymous board is absolutely sad. I suggest you seek help or find a hobby. Just sayin.

Still with the 7th graders and switching it around to play them again in the championships they still can't beat them. Next year try another coach.

Someone on the outlaw team suggested they are Alomost A quality , if you read above. The comment referring to the statement was saying they could not even win the B tournament . So if you do not want anyone referring to your team , stop making stupid comments on BOTC. Move on ..

Which Express team played at Battle on the Bay this weekend?

S2S was awful this weekend. Played very poorly vs Outlaws and Empire. They really showed up against Express. They have their number. DK continues to expose AJ, Express not the same since BM left.

Two of the teams that the Outlaws best were 2024/2025.

You obviously do care otherwise you wouldn’t comment. You care that other teams are getting better and are starting to move into your elite lacrosse “A team” club and that bothers you. These next tier teams are coming for you. By time spring comes around, it will be much closer.

Not at all. The concept is good but they play favorites and no constant coaching for the 2024’s

You’re probably right, they are closing in, but at this rate it won’t be until our kids graduate Hopkins! No doubt, this age is the slowest grade to make any significant improvement, outside the two AA teams in the history of LI youth lacrosse. Dude! They are in 6th grade and most kids at this age play like they are still in 2nd grade! What’s up with that?? Something in the water in Nassau that stunts all the kids lacrosse growth?! If it’s not that, must be the parents. Based on what I know about the parents, I’m going with the latter!!

I was next to this loser and his friends on the sideline. Have another beer. The way you and your union crew berate referees and players is embarrassing. Also, classy getting into it with some high school kids on the sideline.

You’re probably still talking to your crew about the big win. news flash...Johnny prob isn’t leaving suffolk county except maybe for a stony brook away game.

Are you the type of parent that sits quietly and watches 2 referees completely work a game for only 1 team? Are you the type of parent that has no back bone to call out 7th graders on a team of 2024's?? This is Long Island NEW [lacrosse]. Grow a pair of balls and stand up for whats right... Otherwise move out west where people are afraid of confrontation. Express has been playing games with 2023's on 2024 teams.... and 2024's on 2025....
You cheat once..... Every time after will be in question......
TAZ is a top team and everyone wants to take them down... Makes sense but at what cost?? CHEATING???? Express has superior athletes and when they get coached up they will win. They don't need to cheat.

This is my 3rd year on Express and the first time I have ever felt the need to post. Every kid on this team is in 6th grade. I have no idea on birthdays. Zero. But I will tell you without a doubt there are NO 7th graders. I did not notice any refereeing issues, except the obvious trip in OT that would have / should have gone Express way, that was missed. Congrats on your win. You may have no 7th graders on your team, but they talk like a bunch of 12th grade JV players. And I too heard about the parents woofing at high school kids on the sidelines. Classy all the way.

It's 12 years old. That's the issue, not whether they are in 6th grade or not.

Really .. that's all the Bad calls you saw on the Field. The Refs tried to give them every chance to win including Extra time. Everyone knows it. So Keep trying to state otherwise, everyone knows the truth.

Madlax 2024 goes 3-0 against great competition, continues to be #1 team in the nation.

Why is 12 years old the issue if these are grade-based teams??! I am 100% for age-based teams for pre-HS, but until they go that route, that's not the issue, nor what was claimed. The post claimed there were 7th graders on the team , and that WOULD be an issue. (Although, there is absolutely zero done to verify a player's grade on any team and/or tournament!).

Your new defenseman is in 7th grade. 100% confirmed. Played for Haugen's 2023 team last year. Came to Schwalje late in the summer season after some injuries.

Do you still not think there is a 7th grader on your team?

The parents are probably not bragging that their son is a grade older but there are definitely some 7th graders on that team. Channy specifically asks kids to reclassify. Great used car salesman. But it's still not helping you beat Taz. Maybe Channy should try getting a new coach. That team has a lot of talent on it and should beat Taz.

Yeah you boyz out west I guess like to pride yourself on fueling the LI white trash stereotype. 8am beers and loud mouths. Well done. Maybe try to set an example for your kid and want more for him than a county championship and a skilled trade career.

And btw, top team? Eclipse would beg to differ. Spanked you to end the season. Also with Keenan out and Kuttin in its only a matter of time before Taz implodes.

3 - 0 vs B teams in a B tourney. What a bunch of losers! You guys really need a team full of hold backs to beat a couple of B teams?!! This team will be dismantled by Spring.

No doubt, this age is the slowest grade to make any significant improvement, outside the two AA teams in the history of LI youth lacrosse. Dude! They are in 6th grade and most kids at this age play like they are still in 2nd grade! What’s up with that?? Something in the water in Nassau that stunts all the kids lacrosse growth?! If it’s not that, must be the parents. Based on what I know about the parents, I’m going with the latter!!

I think it’s the water.

That daddy doesn’t have a clue who his kid is playing with on Express. Btw. Nothing wrong with The coach. Amazing the job he’s done with the lack of talent he has to work with. Get a clue daddy!

Taz ## is a holdback. One of the mothers on the Taz team has a big mouth and told my wife. You people are too funny.

Do NOT put kids numbers on here!

The man just had heart surgery. Get a clue

You people are all crazy. Taz/ wp are great teams. Express is also a very good team. We should all want great competition for our kids. We are insulting kids coaches and organizations. Isn't the idea of this to get better and have good competition. Hopefully be a great HS player and maybe get the chance to get into a better college. We are talking about kids and coaches like they are professional athletes. People have REAL problems on this world. Like losing a job or being sick. It's awful to read this crap on here. Stop insulting people. Usually it means your unhappy with your own life. If Sixth grade lacrosse and beating taz or Wp is that important to you then clearly your priorities are messed up.

Let's clean this age group up and share positive info. I for one hope the Long Island teams all get better and compete for years to come. I'm sure there will be a bunch of BS comments after this post. Unfortunately I have had my own tough family situations recently and am part of the LI lax community.

What are you talking about?????? Hold backs are referring to school... Holding a child back a grade.... In NY the date is either 12/1 or 12/15 depending on the district. If you are born any time before that you are considered a holdback. No one other than you are making your child off grade..

Other parts of the country have different dates..

You have to talk sports . There are mixed years in most sports Hold backs are not an excuse . I know more kids that play up and are more atheletic than these so called hold backs . It all evens out by 7th , 8th grade.. Can't teach , speed and athleticism. If your kid is an Athlete he will always be one. You will see. So with the hold back theory . Someone who is born 11/30 and his parents held him back in kindergarten or what ever grade . Is much better then a kid who is born 12/2 . Or 1/2 . So the days or month makes that child a much better lacrosse player? Or athele? Days and months do not matter much, 1 year or more does ... only in the younger years. Just an opinion .

A very naive uninformed point of view on this topic. You need to do ALOT more research on this and your opinion will change. Mine did. You really don’t know what is going on out there with this issue. It is being abused, big time, in youth sports. Many Travel teams will do anything to get better players. Will they cheat to win, even within the innocence of youth sports? You better believe it! I have seen it first hand. It is widespread, but even more so in the southern states where it is accepted practice.

I was next to this loser and his friends on the sideline. Have another beer. The way you and your union crew berate referees and players is embarrassing. Also, classy getting into it with some high school kids on the sideline.

You’re probably still talking to your crew about the big win. news flash...Johnny prob isn’t leaving suffolk county except maybe for a stony brook away game.

Are you the type of parent that sits quietly and watches 2 referees completely work a game for only 1 team? Are you the type of parent that has no back bone to call out 7th graders on a team of 2024's?? This is Long Island NEW [lacrosse]. Grow a pair of balls and stand up for whats right... Otherwise move out west where people are afraid of confrontation. Express has been playing games with 2023's on 2024 teams.... and 2024's on 2025....
You cheat once..... Every time after will be in question......
TAZ is a top team and everyone wants to take them down... Makes sense but at what cost?? CHEATING???? Express has superior athletes and when they get coached up they will win. They don't need to cheat.

Yeah you boyz out west I guess like to pride yourself on fueling the LI white trash stereotype. 8am beers and loud mouths. Well done. Maybe try to set an example for your kid and want more for him than a county championship and a skilled trade career.

And btw, top team? Eclipse would beg to differ. Spanked you to end the season. Also with Keenan out and Kuttin in its only a matter of time before Taz implodes.

Didn’t WP Crush Eclipse right after that, in the championship?

Yes they did.

Just go back and look at all the lies and filth they posted about the Dukes attackman when he left Taz, or the Madlax middie when Madlax beat Taz.

BOTC didn't allow the posting of his number and, that looks to be their new policy. I don't like all of the bluster coming from Taz (and WP), but "meh" on this rant . . .

That's just it. It isn't a new policy. BOTC is supposed to block all identification of players. But there are kids that are posted about on a weekly basis (including their number). If BOTC is going to protect kids, they need to do it consistently across the board. The last team they should be protecting is Taz. The Tazzies (and WP too) are the ones fueling most of the filth on this site. If they are going to dish it out, they should be prepared to reap what they sow.

A B team rules LI while there are multiple great teams in MD. LOL.

I love all the holier than thou talk.. SERIOUSLY!! You are bashing on 2 teams right now . So stop the double talk. Parents from all teams come on here and bash, criticize so give it a rest. No one tells you to sign on, no one comes on this thread for the advertisements, So please.

Teams are out of control. Play the games. But don't hate on calling out a kid if he's clearly older or in another grade. This is what travel lax has become and it is SAD.

Good point. You Express daddy’s have been blaming all of your problems on the coaching for a long time. You must be pumped. And the rest of you obviously need a total overhaul so may as well start there.

I thought they actually had 3. Lightning, Thunder and Storm. Didn't they just play at Blatant?

Why are they gone? What happened?

To sum up this whole thread for the last couple of years. There is a lot of jealousy against the WP\Taz teams. Argue all you want with me, take the threads and put them all together. These 2 teams run the LI show and a lot of people are jealous. Bashing parents you don't know and kids that truly work hard is a waste of time. Best thing you can do is make these teams or beat them consistently, other than that stop the craziness.

so Wolfpack is playing in the mustang classic while Taz, express, madlax, bethesda, 91 MD are in Delaware. Weak.

So because the coach bench one kid you scrap 3 teams? That makes no sense plus they are still on the website. I can't see them refunding people their money and saying good luck find another team. I am sure they've ordered uniforms, helmets, paid for indoor training and all of that. If they did scrapped 3 teams rather than fire a coach you're pissed at that would be the worst business owner in the world.

You're lumping a lot of people into one group - some may be jealous, but some are just thoroughly put off by the utter pomposity - there is a reason humility is a positive character trait . . .

What world are you from? Over 80% of both of the teams rosters are hold backs. What do you think Sherlock you are giving us any information that is not known .

When are the owner of these clubs going man up and make age based teams?They will still make the same money!!! the parents will stop the name calling and accusing the coaches of cheating when they win. and You know everyone would get along much better on the sidelines knowing that it is a fair playing field.

why? Because they don’t want to drive five hours to freeze their asses for fall ball? Sounds pretty smart if you ask me. Plus isn’t it FB playoff season?

Don't you worry, when all these teams are getting ready to go to Denver next year and none of their holdbacks are eligible to go, they will be rethinking their rosters and throwing their holdbacks to the curb. Or they can choose to stay home with all of the Maryland/Massachusetts teams that aren't eligible for the WSYL because of their holdbacks. It will all sort itself out.

I've yet to see a cogent argument about why they wouldn't make as much money, so yeah I agree.

Why would BOTC choose to protect the Tazzie sickos who choose to "burp, fart, use foul language" in their "mancaves"?? The Tazzies are the ones singling out 11 yr old boys. Just go back and look at all the lies and filth they posted about the Dukes attackman when he left Taz, or the Madlax middie when Madlax beat Taz. The Tazzies have no problem posting #s and cyberbullying kids. They dish it out, but they can't take it. If BOTC is going to pretend to protect these young kids and their families, BOTC needs to do it across the board -- not the team that is the worst offender.

What world are you from? Over 80% of both of the teams rosters are hold backs. What do you think Sherlock you are giving us any information that is not known .

When are the owner of these clubs going man up and make age based teams?They will still make the same money!!! the parents will stop the name calling and accusing the coaches of cheating when they win. and You know everyone would get along much better on the sidelines knowing that it is a fair playing field.

STOP!!! JUST LET THE KIDS PLAY AND HAVE FUN. WASTE OF TIME.... COMPLAINING. look at it this way . your child will only get better playing against stronger players.. Your child will have everything to gain. Remember its only 11 year old lacrosse

I've yet to see a cogent argument about why they wouldn't make as much money, so yeah I agree.

Says the guy who has no clue about the reams of studies that show why it is NOT the way to run youth sports and is the the basis of why EVERY other youth sport has moved to age-based play. The decision to play up is supposed to lie with the child/parent of the YOUNGER player, NOT the decision of the child/player of the OLDER player! This type of thinking is exactly what keeps lacrosse (or anything else, for that matter!) from progressing and/or maturing. So, no cogent argument for grade-based play once again!

As stated a million times on here, every single other competitive youth sport is AGE BASED. Why can't lacrosse follow these simple rules? It works out for everyone else, why not the lacrosse community? Fair is fair.

Youth football also has a weight limit for each age group - this could also be implemented. This would make things really fair.

Your comment is probably sarcasm (you never know anymore!), but considering how much they've removed checking from lacrosse, why bother . . .?!

Did you spend all day coming up with that retort??! All other sports have already figured this out, so ALL of those people, who happen to dwarf the lax world, cared. USL cares, or they wouldn't be bothered to try and implement age-based play. I love people that make the "I'm right and EVERYONE else is wrong" argument - it's kind of like declaring that the world is flat in 2017, with about as much reasoning put into the conclusion. YOU choose to have your son play up - good for you! That's the way it's supposed to be!! But, you're too dumb to see that point and how it diminishes the rest of your case. The choice shouldn't be with older players deciding that younger players have to play 'up' against them. Both my sons do just fine on good teams and against other teams, holdbacks or not - here's a novel concept for your narrow minded brain: people can actually strive to improve things even if they're not a 'victim', but simply because they see that it's the best thing to do for EVERYONE. Those are the people that are leaders and innovators. As opposed to you, who comes across as more of a "go along to get along" type... you know - a follower!

NCYFL has weight limits for all ages.

Mad Daddy, where you been hiding? Got tired of stalking the good people of LI, with your childish games? Heard you found new prey on the MD board. Word has it, your annoying antics have made Madlax the most hated youth travel team in the mid-Atlantic. Congrats! All of that Madlax crap can really annoy the sh*t out of people, don't you think, Mad Daddy??

Nobody believes for a sec that any of the posts are Madlax. We know it was you. See you in Delaware!

Ha you make me laugh. Leader , you come on back of the cage and degrade people and that is the actions of a LEADER? Hahaha. More the actions of a COWARD. If you want change do something about it. I suggest you start somewhere else beacause this is not the forum to do it. Otherwise , enough with all your excuses. Go cry in your coffe somewhere else. As long as your kid is getting good training that should be enough. It's 11 year old lacrosse , again 11 year old lacrosse. Eventually it all evens out when it really matters............ Real Leaders for see the future, and work on the thins that really matter.

Let's break down your post. You spend your Saturday nights trolling a website about 6th grade lacrosse. There haven't been any Madlax posts on LI thread in a while, so you attack Madlax for being annoying. Then you pat yourself on the back for your creepy posts on the MD thread. Get a life, loser.

Some good match ups next weekend in Delaware. MadLax v Express, Taz v Bethesda.... will be fun to watch.

You won and your whinnying. C’mon man grow up!

Im STILL trying to find out.. Who "confirms" this information? Taz parents? LOL

I was next to this loser and his friends on the sideline. Have another beer. The way you and your union crew berate referees and players is embarrassing. Also, classy getting into it with some high school kids on the sideline.

You’re probably still talking to your crew about the big win. news flash...Johnny prob isn’t leaving suffolk county except maybe for a stony brook away game.

Are you the type of parent that sits quietly and watches 2 referees completely work a game for only 1 team? Are you the type of parent that has no back bone to call out 7th graders on a team of 2024's?? This is Long Island NEW [lacrosse]. Grow a pair of balls and stand up for whats right... Otherwise move out west where people are afraid of confrontation. Express has been playing games with 2023's on 2024 teams.... and 2024's on 2025....
You cheat once..... Every time after will be in question......
TAZ is a top team and everyone wants to take them down... Makes sense but at what cost?? CHEATING???? Express has superior athletes and when they get coached up they will win. They don't need to cheat.

This is my 3rd year on Express and the first time I have ever felt the need to post. Every kid on this team is in 6th grade. I have no idea on birthdays. Zero. But I will tell you without a doubt there are NO 7th graders. I did not notice any refereeing issues, except the obvious trip in OT that would have / should have gone Express way, that was missed. Congrats on your win. You may have no 7th graders on your team, but they talk like a bunch of 12th grade JV players. And I too heard about the parents woofing at high school kids on the sidelines. Classy all the way.

It's 12 years old. That's the issue, not whether they are in 6th grade or not.

And when will the "confirmation" of the 2-3 kids that are older that play on TAZ be released..... At the end of the day Taz got their win... if accusations are being flown....why not address the "older" kids on Taz/// or do we not speak of that

EVERY top team has 2005 birthdays. Wait until you see MD and PA

Do they have 2004 birthdays?

If my kid is a 2024 and playing against 2023s, I'm okay with that. Makes him tougher. Too many participation trophies these days. None of these kids will remember who they played in 6th grade anyway, unless they get cut and don't make varsity! "Coach, how come I don't start varsity?! I was on the team that beat Taz in 6th grade!" Oh that's right, no one cares. Instead, tell Jr to make sure he can throw/catch/shoot with both hands, defend someone bigger and faster than him, and pick up a ground ball without falling over. Enjoy watching him play, maybe even have him play a fall and winter sport, and remind him that the MLL pays $750/game so paying attention in school actually matters. And all of you "never-was" dads just enjoy the fact that having a kid gives you purpose, but you cannot live through them (or they'll be a never was like you).

What do you do when you are the parent of a hold back, which sounds like you are, and your son can't do much? You tell everyone how awesome he is and he throws the ball away constantly. Do you parlay it and possibly make him a double hold back? Something to think about

Sucker? If you think $3000 is a lot of $ for what these boys are being taught you should throw yourself off a bridge. Easy with the name calling middle management man. Oh and your jealousy shines through pal. WP is at the top of the 2024 food chain. Period. Drive to DE to beat up teams they have beaten consistently every season.. makes no sense. There's another tryout next year Daddy, maybe just maybe one day the little guy will be able to pull it off. Once again beat them consistently and talk, until then there is nothing for you to say.

As this sport is growing the clubs have become so consumed with winning and driving up registrations.

This should be enforced at all tournaments and with all clubs. It has become an epidemic. Every tournament and every game there is a huge percentage of potential injury having older boys playing down with younger aged boys. Regardless of grade!! but where does a concerned parent turn? This is a great sport that my son loves, but it has a huge flaw that EVERY parent speaks of . Something needs to be done.

box is fun and gets them moving the ball in tight places, Winter they should be playing basketball .. one day a week work on the lacrosse to keep the rust off and you should be good to go come Feb/March. Ask any college coach you know how many kids they recruit and they drop in second year because of burnout. Keep it real my friends, its lacrosse.

they arent gone my son plays for them was just at practice Sunday night

These clubs, they are not just overlooking but neglecting the Integrity that is most important in youth sports. There must be a regulatory age requirement put in place immediately. This should be enforced at all tournaments and with all clubs. It has become an epidemic. Every tournament and every game there is a huge percentage of potential injury having older boys playing down with younger aged boys. Regardless of grade!! but where does a concerned parent turn? This is a great sport that my son loves, but it has a huge flaw that EVERY parent speaks of . Something needs to be done. [/quote]

Do your part: https://www.uslacrosse.org/about-us-lacrosse/contact-us[/quote] The P.A.L bases lacrosse from 8/31- to the following 8/31 which has
kids of mixed birth years. which was the system for youth soccer for years. it will all work itself out. but bottom line, most kids play for teams based on the grade they are in which also has mixed birth years.(basketball, football, girls lacrosse, field hockey, ETC..) when it changes it will change. So enough with the excuses. if your kid is good he will stand out. it wont make a difference if a kid is 6 months older than him. By 8th grade it will all even out.

So does Team 24 show up at Mustang this weekend? Do they have a coach? Carlos made some mess of the program

How can you have 2 teams at the grade and then completely fall apart? We need another contender on LI. TAZ is looking small and I would love to see another team rise up and make some noise.

And your point is....

Taz and Express. Go down to DE this weekend and put a good woop’n on mad daddy for us. Remember. They only got 2 kids to be concerned with. Shut them down and it’s smooth sailing. The rest are mediocre at best. Good luck to the LI boys!!

Too bad no WP or Hawks. Then you would have tops
In the age group.

Hawks????

I don’t know what team your kid plays for, but it’s obviously not one of the “top” teams, because Hawks can not be classified as a “top” team.

Not a Taz Parent, but Taz has some of the top players in the 2024 game. It is one of the best teams at this age, although neurotic at times with their inconsistency. Anybody that bashes this team is either a pot stirrer or completely clueless about the game of Lacrosse. The latter confuse size with quality. Look at the record. That’s all you need to know.

Watch out for Bethesda - picked up a few very good 2023 holdbacks, if they all show up this weekend, they're a better team than madlax

Which Outlaw team is going to the Bulldog this weekend?

If you are basing your comment on the Elite 8 weekend, Hawks were "off" that weekend. Happens to all the top teams. As a Madlax parent, I can vouch that Hawks are a top team. They beat Team 91 MD in the HoCo semifinal. They beat Madlax in the Young Guns final. They are a well coached team with lots of weapons. The 2024 team is undersized compared to some of the Hawks teams. But as the 2024 boys grow and hit their growth spurts they will continue to be a contender. Haven't seen the new Bethesda kids play, so can't comment on them. Looking forward to some quality competition this weekend. Lots of great teams.

Of course Maryland and New England are the biggest culprits of holding kids back.

You sound like a decent person, considering you’re a Madlax parent. Your mad daddy parent stalkers arent doing you any favors. Real classless, immature behavior. Madlax is hated in these parts, as a result. Don’t expect a warm and fuzzy reception from LI’ers in DE.

This website brings out the worst in everyone. I have met lots of you LI parents, and it is always pleasant in person. Don't know why it would be any different on Saturday. As for the posts that you hate so much, I think they were started by a bunch of 11 year old kids. They were never meant to be mean or ill spirited. Just immature rants. But look at the response it got. I think at this point it has become an annoying game "enjoyed" by many.

I thought 91 was taking off this fall?

WP has 0 holdbacks. Taz has 1. (And I’m kind of guessing on this kid, not confirmed just word of mouth) Taz and pack are one of the few teams in this group that could bring their entire teams to the WSYL. Where are all the Maryland teams in the World Series??? Crickets

Trust me. No one finds that amusing on LI. It’s as annoying as annoying can be. Unimaginable to think that an adult can act like such a child.

Bethesda was just there two years ago

Not really. When Madlax had beaten Taz 11 times, Taz had NEVER BEATEN Madlax, but they were close. If you want to watch the replay of the Braveheart, it is on Madlax's website. Elite 8 made it 11-1. NXT made it 12-1. But who's counting??

Hard to win a lacrosse game with only half your team, isnt that right MD teams?? Next year is when we find out who the cheaters are with all of the holdbacks. But we already know, don’t we....

We know one thing for sure, the LI teams will be there with FULL squads!!

Assuming your information is accuarate, which i have no idea if it is or not, you have quite the obsession going on if you track 9 and 10 year old lacrosse that closely. Big shock, this is a Madlax Parent! Completely typical behavior for a Madlax child/parent! ...And Madlax parents don’t know why everyone dislikes them...

Why do you assume that the poster was a Madlax parent? It is common knowledge that the record between Madlax and Taz is 12 to 1. No matter how good the Taz parents thing their kids are, there are lots of kids that are better. It is good for everyone, especially the Taz parents, to keep things in perspective. Why is it ok for Taz to talk down to every team on LI, but not ok for someone else to remind them to be more humble? I can't believe some of the awful, rude things that Taz parents post on this site talking down to everyone else.

“Common knowledge” that the record is 12-1? I’m not a parent of either team but anyone that is keeping track that closely is obsessed with a bunch of little kids, which let’s hope is not “common”. The fact that you think it is, tells a whole lot about you.

Love your quote... "there are lots of kids that are better" (than Taz kids). Interesting comment, coming from a Madlax parent. Very ironic, actually. Madlax is completely dependent upon two players. One of them is a hold-back man-child who plays with little children. Take his ridiculous size advantage away, and he is an average player, at best. The other is a legit player. Take either player away, and Madlax is an average team, on it's best day. Proof, you say? Does a recent loss to the Loonies come to mind??? Madlax lost (badly!!)... by 4 goals!!! You had the man-child, but not the other boy. Loonies!!! Taz on the other hand has a very balanced team, with MANY extremely good players. Take any two players off that team (your choice!) , and there is basically no let down at all! And, NO HOLD BACKS!! So, when you say "there are ALOT of kids that are better", you are not referring to you own team, OBVIOUSLY! -Not a Taz Parent (just keep'n it real!!)

the A team beat them in a scrimmage and will beat any time they play.

Express is stacked. One of the top elite. Only going to get better. And Taz is still phenomenal. Some of the best lacrosse games I have every seen. Back and forth 1 goal games and OT thrillers. Shame it had to end. One of the best Fall tournaments I have ever been to. Great venue, and very well run. Hope we can do it again next year.

What happened at the Blatant Fall Jam when they were both in the same division? Oh that’s right Rotolo won and in scrimmage where they were missing 2 of their best players u beat them. But a few weeks goes by in Blatant and the so called B team takes the title.

Some great lacrosse in Delaware yesterday. MadLax and Taz clearly among the Best of the Best at 24 right now. Can't really get a good read on Express having only played MadLax and Prime Time, who went 0-3. And Express only beat Prime Time by 2.... Wish Express had played T91MD or BLC.

Really was a fun day. Good hard competition. And yes, Express is only going to get better. Very good physical defense. Good supply of middies. Goalie is awesome. Hopefully a good winter.

Express is def growing and getting better. Good to see.

Rotolo team is better . If the so call A team is better than why did they play in the B division in Blatant and lose to the team Rotolo beat. So please ...

Taz and madlax top of food chain. Taz much more balanced and madlax all about 1 player. Who is very good. Curious to see if he will be eligible for world series. Great day of lax. Madlax wins 3 games in ot and taz has pretty easy day against Bethesda and team 91 md. Wolfpack in mix as well.

I’d say:

Madlax/taz.
Wolfpack
91 md
Bethesda
Express

Calm down bro!! Sounds like you’re still going hard with the red solo cups! It’s fall ball. Relax!

Rotolo's team beat Legacy simply because Legacy lost their top 4 players to a soccer tournament after the third game so they didn't play in the championship. Rotolo's win was a fluke-just like when TruBlue beat Taz-won't ever happen again. Rotolo's team also lost to Shore 2 Shore at Blatant when Greaney's team beat them at the same tournament. Also heard that Greaney's team squashed Rotolo in a scrimmage. Greaney's team is much better.

If true , why Was greaneys team put in B division at the Blatant? What excuse can you use for that? At least true blue put themselves in the A bracket knowing they would be squashed , it shows they had pride. So those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Rotolo's team won when it counted . If you are an A team start playing in the A division otherwise keep off the thread with your stupidity.

Bethesda

Thanks for your analysis Jimmy the Greek. You know bethesda just beat team 91 md yesterday right?

All I can say is, It's great to see all these teams play at such a high level. They are ALL GREAT TEAMS. It is a pleasure as a parent to watch all of the teams play. You should be proud, that your child is able to play for any one of these teams. Some great lacrosse . Hard work from coaches and the boys pays off. Looking forward to the spring.

Who won igloo / express north rematch scrimmage?

Calm down bro!! Sounds like you’re still going hard with the red solo cups! It’s fall ball. Relax!

Exactly. T91MD didn't have their full squad and Millon and his kid weren't there for Taz game. I am sure other teams were missing players as well. All around good battles, all of the teams mentioned above are definitely the elite 24's. Solid day.

If true , why Was greaneys team put in B division at the Blatant? What excuse can you use for that? At least true blue put themselves in the A bracket knowing they would be squashed , it shows they had pride. So those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Rotolo's team won when it counted . If you are an A team start playing in the A division otherwise keep off the thread with your stupidity.

They were in the A division. There were 3 divisions at Blatant AA, A, and B. Both Outlaws played in the A. AA had Taz, Igloo, Express North and True Blue.

Right, for the first time in an awful long time, and T91MD didn't have full squad. No excuses though, it was a great game and they did win.

There is Madlax and then there's everybody else. Maybe you fools should have sent that B team instead.

that was not an A Divison. You are only fooling yourself . Pat put both Teams in the B bracket to ensure a win . They thought it would be Greaneys team. sry You lost .

it just a matter of time before Madlax becomes a none factor .

Madlax Coach is an absolute embarrassment. Has referee in pocket because ref doesn’t want to hear his BS. Shameful

Yeah only in OT and man boy got the ball - what a surprise...think the same thing happened to LI express the game before. Cheaters. Start packing up when games tied bc you know man boy will get it and run it through!! Oh on a side note glad to see man boy got his stick knocked out and flung from his hands by a true 2024!!!

manboy is a unbelievable player. Dominated on faceoffs and both sides of the field. And seems well liked by all of his teammates. One man wrecking crew. Age or not age whatever.

Madlax soooooo OVERRATED. Take one kid off the team and are a B team. Looking forward to seeing them without him in the World Series. NOT

Love a good yardsale!!

There is no Outlaws 2024 A Team. That is why instead of using terms like Elite or Select they are called "Team Rotolo" or "Team Greaney". They are two B Teams. Not sure which team is better but they are certainly not A teams.

Jealousy looks ugly on you (and it is a negative reflection on the Taz program). Let it go and give that kid props not hate. The kid is a class act and nobody trains harder. Unfortunately he reads everything that is written about him on this page. But he has learned to channel it for good. After everything that has been said about him (slow, no effort, average stick skills, cheater, holdback, etc., none of which is true), I could not have been happier for that kid when he scored back to back OT winners. We are a close team and when you mess with one of our kids, you mess with all of us. It was a great day of lacrosse. Let's keep it that way.

Squashed? They lost to express by 2 goals and Igloo A in overtime. I would not consider that squashed. Only game they got squashed was by Taz but they also beat Taz once. Unlike express igloo and any others (who always get squashed by taz)

We are a close team? Your son is on the team, not YOU, Dad. Sad that you are living your life through your kid. YOUR team. LOL.

LI parent here. Believe it or not I am with Madlax on this one. You Taz parents are a toxic bunch. Need to stop talking trash about other peoples kids. Only going to hurt your program. Nobody wants to play for a team like that. P.S. You are not #1. Madlax is. So stop your stupid rankings with Madlax and Taz tied.

That kid is a true 2024 and would be on age if this was age based. Your jealously is sad. Admit that NOBODY can hang with this Madlax this. Been dominant since day one.

can’t stand MadLax. .... and hate their coach.... but that big kid is on age. We had concerns last year and thought he was a holdback. We confirmed he’s on age..... just damn good.

So just to be clear, you are saying this boy is on AGE? Meaning he was born in 2006?

You know what is even better?? An OT winner!!

LONG ISLAND Parent. Yeah we believe that. MADLAX Parents trash talk on here everyday. CRY me the blues. Most of the complaints come from your neck of the woods. not the Taz parents I am sure, no reason to attack . People just trying to stir crap up. That's why they are on here. Most of the MADLAX stuff is Kids I am sure

More has been written about this one kid than probably any other youth lacrosse player in the country. If you want your kid to play with the best, get used to him playing with/against him. Yesterday our team tent was near Madlax's tent and we could see the kid and how he interacted with his teammates. You could tell that he was a normal kid that was well liked by his teammates. I've got a lot of respect for a true two way middie. A lot of parents insist that their kid play attack and get all the glory. Not this kid. He played his heart out dominating on both ends of the field.

Guys seriously. If I have learned anything over the past 5 years - it's don't buy into any of the bull that people try to tell you. The guy who tells you bad things about a club -- has his kid playing for that squad the next year. The mom who insists on helping out with the team - finds that her son gets cut.

This reminds of a kid who used to talk trash to my son because he was jealous of his skill set. Couldn't understand how a kid who didn't hang out with the jocks could destroy them on the field. Who had no interest in playing for their club.

This trash talk really upset my wife. We tried to work it out at school but -- you know how that goes.

Well. This year that kid got cut. Clearly, he didn't grow enough skill wise or body wise to stay with that team.

Some of you guys talking trash here are going to find yourselves in the same position. I won't feel sorry for you -- but I will feel sorry for your kids.

I'm not telling you anything that you shouldn't already know or be able to figure out on your own. The kid lives in DC area where the cutoff is 2005. Same as USL and WSYL. But WSYL can't even make up its mind what cutoff to use. It is already dying a slow (or not so slow) death.

No one ever said that child was a bad Player. He looks Big now, because he is older. Maryland age cut off is different. it will all change soon enough MADLAX pound your chests while you can!!!

Give the kid props. 4 out 5 goals in express game 1 including ot winner. 7 of 9 goals in the semi final vs express including the OT winner. Wins 75% of faceoffs, clears the ball everytime, great defense.

He is a man paying against boys. If he were my kid, I'd be embarrassed he's not playing up (or on age, as the case maybe).

Dude. He is twice the size of the next largest kid on the field. He is NOT an unbelievable player. In fact, he is an average player at best, if you take his size advantage away. How do you think he would do against other 13 year old's his age. He would be crushed!!!! It says a lot about his parents and the win-at-all-costs team that he plays for.

Madlax isn't going to the WSYL. Most VA and Maryland teams don't go, because the only way they can win is by accumulating as many hold back s as they can, and they can't bring their hold backs to the WSYL. Isn't that right, Mad Daddy??

Take a look at the pre-season rankings for the event, in Inside Lacrosse, this month.

No Madlax

Big shock, aye??

Can't win anything without half your players!!

Cheaters!

To be clear is 9/1 2005 through 8/31 2006...that's how it's defined. You sound like such a soccer mom saying born in 2006

Hey, it's not the kids fault that he doesn't play on the grade that he should. For a kid his size, he's an average player. It is what it is. He dominates solely because of his size. That's not debatable.

The criticism is toward the parents of the child, for putting him in the situation he is in. They have the grandiose thinking that if their boy can dominate little children, then he might get a full ride to Hopkins. Sorry Ma and Pa, that aint the way it works.

What's he going to do in another year of two when he doesn't have the size advantage that he has had his whole life??? The answer is obvious. For that, I blame the PARENTS! You are doing your child a HUGE disservice, for your own selfishness.

He may be a true 2024, but he is either 12 or 13 years old. Won't be seeing him in Denver, that's for sure... right Mad Daddy?!!!

Here is the breakdown. Rotolo claims to be an A team but he is too scared to enter his team in an A tournament. His players love him, that's great but they are too blind to see the disservice he does them by never letting them play competition better than them. Whats the point of being the top B Team? How many [lacrosse] T-Shirts do you need? Especially when he shortens the bench and doesn't let certain kids play in a B division tourney, sad.That is why Greaney team "THE SELECT" team will always be better players. They enjoy playing the best competition. That's what helps ATHLETES improve. Will they beat TAZ and Wolfpack NO but they are not afraid to play them and try. Have fun and become a better player than last year, that's all you should want and 11 year old to do.

Hey Taz defender dad, don't forget that your name is on your son's jersey. Using that information, we were able to trace your posts from this Summer to present, and match up your work and home address with your IP address. We don't talk trash about your kid. You shouldn't talk trash about our kids. If you don't stop your posts, we will contact the Legacy director and politely ask him to remove your son from the team. If that doesn't work, we will send your information to the media and let them run with the story. Your choice.

You really think a couple of months makes that big of a difference? Give me a break. Some kids will always be bigger. And some kids will always be smaller.

Actually this was probably an Express parent just being nice because the info is slighly off. In game 1, the OT winner was scored by one of the attack. An incredible player that doesn't get enough credit.

If true , why Was greaneys team put in B division at the Blatant? What excuse can you use for that? At least true blue put themselves in the A bracket knowing they would be squashed , it shows they had pride. So those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Rotolo's team won when it counted . If you are an A team start playing in the A division otherwise keep off the thread with your stupidity.

Squashed? They lost to express by 2 goals and Igloo A in overtime. I would not consider that squashed. Only game they got squashed was by Taz but they also beat Taz once. Unlike express igloo and any others (who always get squashed by taz)

Here is the breakdown. Rotolo claims to be an A team but he is too scared to enter his team in an A tournament. His players love him, that's great but they are too blind to see the disservice he does them by never letting them play competition better than them. Whats the point of being the top B Team? How many [lacrosse] T-Shirts do you need? Especially when he shortens the bench and doesn't let certain kids play in a B division tourney, sad.That is why Greaney team "THE SELECT" team will always be better players. They enjoy playing the best competition. That's what helps ATHLETES improve. Will they beat TAZ and Wolfpack NO but they are not afraid to play them and try. Have fun and become a better player than last year, that's all you should want and 11 year old to do.

well then you should read what your other team mates post. They said that in the blatant tournament there was a AA , A, abs B division . If that is true , Rotolo's team won that day . Therefore making them the Better A team. Or the Better B team. Either way you had a chance that day to play Taz, Igloo express and TB. But you played in the B division . OOPS I MEANT A DIVISON. Or what ever division that makes you sleep better at night.

This must be an upset mom on the B team whose son didn't even play in the championship game. The divisions would not have been even stupid, get back in the kitchen. BTW did you see the update you beat the Legacy team who lost 4 of their best to a soccer tourney before your game. Play a real team, oh wait you may not get a t-shirt.

Yesterday our team tent was near Madlax's tent and we could see the kid and how he interacted with his teammates. You could tell that he was a normal kid that was well liked by his teammates. I've got a lot of respect for a true two way middie. A lot of parents insist that their kid play attack and get all the glory. Not this kid. He played his heart out dominating on both ends of the field.

Girlfriend, you obviously are clueless when it comes to the sport of lacrosse. Let me help you here. If you are a foot or more latger than all the kids on the field, I could put you out there and get a very similar result. That help??

Squashed? Not quite. Launch actually sent all their players away for the championship game. Whatever makes you feel better. Both teams are very equal. Although probably not after the winter.

Right, cause there are only 4 A teams on LI. Why do you people keep forgetting that

Greaney played in the same division, same tournament as the Rotolo team. Rotolo won, Greaney lost. Then Greaney went to a weak bulldog tourney and played B division. What the [lacrosse] are you talking about. Last year? See where they are in the spring

No one ever said that child was a bad Player. He looks Big now, because he is older. Maryland age cut off is different. it will all change soon enough MADLAX pound your chests while you can!!!

You really think a couple of months makes that big of a difference? Give me a break. Some kids will always be bigger. And some kids will always be smaller.

Based on your assessment, he will be about seven and a half feet tall, or more, in High School. Unless of course he is a hold back, in which case everyone will catch up in a year or two. And then, Mad parents will get their wish, and no one will be talking about him. Based on what we know about the Madlax organization, he is most definitely a hold back. We'll have to wait for next year though, for final confirmation of that, when he and Madlax are no where to be found in Denver. Hmmmm....

the excuses just do not stop with you. Ok so you ended up in the B division . You lost to the launch. Rotolo beat them. End of story. Your team is B at best , face the fact . So sad you think you have a case

That kid is a true 2024 and would be on age if this was age based. Your jealously is sad. Admit that NOBODY can hang with this Madlax this. Been dominant since day one.

He may be a true 2024, but he is either 12 or 13 years old. Won't be seeing him in Denver, that's for sure... right Mad Daddy?!!!

I wouldn't call beating teams by 1 goal... "dominant", there Mad Daddy. Put down your red solo cup. The games have been over for a couple of days now. Pretty sorry, with all of the Hold backs, you can only beat an 11 year old team by a goal in over time, by the jolly green giant. Just imagine how they'd do without all of the hold backs?!!!

How did you “confirm” he is not a holdback?? The parents happened to have the birth certificate in their back pocket??

Nice try mad daddy!!

We all will get your “confirmation” next year in Denver, won’t we mad daddy?!!

Nice try Mad Daddy. Denver is a “money grab” for the hold back state. I get it.

Why go to Denver and spend all that money and get humiliated out there, since you can’t bring half your team. Yeah, that would be a total waste of money although i don’t think money grab is the correct terminology.

But thank you for confirming all of the hold backs for us.

You just confirmed that mad Lax and the rest of the MD teams are stacked with hold backs. Nothing we didn’t know of course, but the confirmation of being a bunch of cheaters is appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Rotolo did win the Blatant B division and was also cheering against the other outlaw team when they beat Shore to Shore (the team that Rotolo had lost to during the day). Must be a class act coach.

Success of these teams will depend on the approach of parents. Rotolo will win B championships with a strong team of some A level players. Team Greaney will get pushed around in A because they are not a A team. Tough position for Outlaws b/c neither team is an A level Team.

PB really should sell the club or disolve it. It keeps getting worse every year because of his arrogance.

13-1. You can't handle it can you? Let it go.

My kids is on S2S and the Greaney team is better than Rotolo but like everyone is saying they are both B team, which is fine. Lots of good competition this year with the 2nd tier teams. Outlaws 2x, Igloo B, S2S, Express B, 91B, Legacy Launch, etc. Sure they are not the best teams on LI but all are solid and most games between them will be close.

Once again this leads to the notion that there are only 4 A teams on Long Island. All those teams mentioned would probably considered A teams in other states and yes that includes Maryland. No question there are definitely 4 teams that are at the top but the rest of those teams could fill that tier. Remember as bad as the Giants are, they are still a NFL franchise.

A few points:

1. Are you new to LI club lacrosse and/or have you surveyed the club landscape? If yes, to either, are you asking this question seriously??!
2. The lack of clear and accurate (honest?) assessment of what teams belong in which levels makes the idea of assessing individuals as to level even that much more difficult. Beyond the obvious AA teams and top players, it is a mess. And grade-based play only adds more mud to this problem.
3. There are 'A' players on 'B' teams that chose to for more playing time than sitting on a bench with an 'A' team - take every Express A team as prime example.
4. If you are truly an 'A' level player, but were not selected to an A team, what exactly are you supposed to do - not play??!

Agree with this. He may be bigger, but other players are hitting growth spurts and the gap is closing, and it will all be irrelevant in a year or two. (My son defends against him and reports that he’s a nice kid, fwiw, which is not always the case).

OUTLAWSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

That’s an abject lie. Rotolo was not cheering against Greaney team. 1. That’s not his style. 2. If S2S won, Rotolo would not have made championship. If by A teams you are referring to WP, Taz and Express then you are correct. Against any other team on LI they will do well.

PB really should sell the club or disolve it. It keeps getting worse every year because of his arrogance.

Worse compared too ?

That is just not fair and how about the parents of these poor kids paying over $2000 dollars and their kid doesn't see the field in the big game.

Well if greaney is an A team why would a kid Play on the B team with Rotolo. . that's my point. You see . there are plenty of A teams out there. Plenty... I seen Greaneys team play and there are plenty of spots for an A player.

My kids is on S2S and the Greaney team is better than Rotolo but like everyone is saying they are both B team, which is fine. Lots of good competition this year with the 2nd tier teams. Outlaws 2x, Igloo B, S2S, Express B, 91B, Legacy Launch, etc. Sure they are not the best teams on LI but all are solid and most games between them will be close.

ROTOLO BEAT LAUNCH < AND GREANEY , HOW CAN YOU MAKE THAT CALL.?

Rotolo’s team never beat Greaney’s team and they only beat launch because they had players leave and that is a fact.

Please elaborate on the A, AA and B divisions you mention. Cause there were 3 divisions in the blatant tourney. Was that the A, AA and B you are referring too? Cause if it is, then you said in your own words it would be OK to shorten the bench in an A division. Also, you seem to be keeping a close eye on the kids that play and do not. Do you have a Stat sheet? Or do you leave knowledge of whose playing and whose not cause you have an affiliation with the Outlaws?

Meh - my son plays in an organization where he was offered a spot an their A team, yet chose to play on their B team with other players that he is friends with. There are lots of comparable situations where boys can choose to play where they want to - they're 11 years old, and can't be actively recruited for another five years, provided they are even interested in playing college ball and/or a college is interested in them. Yeesh!

Cause both teams are the same caliber team. The knee da that played Rotolo last year stayed with him. The other team lost some good players

What you just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this chat room is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It's a crying shame when that line from Billy Madison could easily be used by me multiple times a day based upon just what I read on the internet . . .

Our team has played that kid for 3 years now. Always sucks. Kind of respect him tho. Plays unselfish. Usually looking to dump down. When he does score, he is classy about it. Sure he plays physical, but never seen him take a cheap shot. I thought he was older too until I met kid's family and got complete scoop.

99% of the kids are great kids. I'm sure he is an awesome kid.

The issue is with the parents and the team, not the child. He is just a child playing a game that he loves. In fact, he is one of the true victims in this.

The boy is getting a false sense of his ability, playing against such small opponents, and not being challenged like every other kid. In a couple of years, when it actually matters, this will work against him, since he won't have the size advantage that he has enjoyed in his youth. Then what?? When he gets to High School, he will have been playing EXCLUSIVELY against little people for the past seven years, without any real challenge, while all of the players he is competing against have been busting their butt's, playing against actual opponents... and getting better, as a result!!

If he were my child, I would have absolutely had him playing up, since day one. My guess is he's a hold back, based on the extraordinary size difference, the team he plays for (a known hold-back abuser) and the fact that the team isn't going to participate in the WSYL (there's only one reason why that would happen). However, the hold-back conversation is irrelevant, here. He should be playing at the next grade, regardless whether he is a hold back or not, for his best interest.

Of course, this is all on the parents for allowing this to happen, as their dream of D1 slowly disappears in the next couple of years.

It's also, of course, on the greedy team. They obviously benefit in a big way, by having him on the team now, as he is helping them sell their brand and make $$$$'s. Could you imagine where that team would be without him right now?? I probably would never have even heard of Madlax, if he had not been on the team the past few years. Sure hope the parents are getting a free ride!

There is another important side to this issue. Yes, it is bad for the player, it is unfair to the competition, but it is also extremely bad for the rest of the Madlax team. We all know that everything goes through this boy. All opportunities go to him and all big plays go solely through him... nobody else, with the exception of one attackman, because the team only cares about winning. His teammates around him are not growing as lacrosse players due to his presence on the team. These parents are extremely aware of this, but I'm not sure why they put up with it. They are paying a lot of money, for their kids to be nothing but role players for their entire youth. Some of these players are undoubtedly very good, but never see any significant opportunities, as they would on a different team.

Believe it or not, the ones that get most hurt in this whole scenario is the child himself and the child's teammates. Those are the real loses here.

Madlax, the brand, is the big, greedy winner!

Are you the same Mom complaining that Taz kids played for Launch against Greaney? FYI. Launch doesn’t need Taz kids to beat you. We get that your mad cause it seems your on the wrong Outlaws team. But relax. It’s not a big deal. Rotolos team was missing kids as well.

Please elaborate on the A, AA and B divisions you mention. Cause there were 3 divisions in the blatant tourney. Was that the A, AA and B you are referring too? Cause if it is, then you said in your own words it would be OK to shorten the bench in an A division. Also, you seem to be keeping a close eye on the kids that play and do not. Do you have a Stat sheet? Or do you leave knowledge of whose playing and whose not cause you have an affiliation with the Outlaws?

You still have not answered the question does Rotolo play all players in big games or not?

You said in an A bracket it is understandable. They played in an A bracket

That’s an abject lie. Rotolo was not cheering against Greaney team. 1. That’s not his style. 2. If S2S won, Rotolo would not have made championship. If by A teams you are referring to WP, Taz and Express then you are correct. Against any other team on LI they will do well. And since I’m sure those are the only teams you consider A teams then everyone else is a B team. Winning B tournaments is pretty good.

OK then, is it an ABJECT LIE that Rotolo shortens the bench in championship games. If it is, he is not a good coach he is a sheep in wolf's clothing. That is just not fair and how about the parents of these poor kids paying over $2000 dollars and their kid doesn't see the field in the big game.

The coach does not want to answer the Question. His choice. There was a A and B divison .. If you combined LI and Maryland lacrosse . outlaws would be low B . GREANEY BETTER TEAM , better coach ..

Who are the high b teams

He also "plays up" with their 22's from time to time, so don't be so worried about his future.

He used to play up with his older brother on the 22 team. And he regularly plays in 8th grade, and even 9th grade games. So he is well accustomed to playing with bigger, older boys. It explains why he is so good now. All kids should play up. But you don't have to do it every weekend.

Can the outlaws parents please take their nonsense to direct messaging or a new thread or maybe at the next practice. Nobody cares other than you. Both teams are irrelevant and outside of your two teams nobody knows or cares who is the C team and the C+ team. Your Best players will leave every year and so will the coaches.

Every top team (Taz, 91MD, Bethesda) has at least one defender that is the same size as Madlax's middie. If the Madlax middie played D, nobody would say a word. When he dominates in the offensive zone, everyone starts hating on him claiming he has an unfair size advantage. If you ever get the opportunity to hang out with Myles Jones, he will tell you similar stories. When Myles (like Paul Rabil) switched from basketball to lacrosse, his coaches gave him a long pole and told him he couldn't play offense. For the sake of the game, I am glad he proved them wrong. When youth coaches take all the little kids and give them short sticks, and give all the big kids long poles. They are robbing the game of some of the best offensive players.

wrong . That was a B bracket through and through . No doubt .. The coach tells you it's an A bracket, but it is not. Greenery team much better no A players n Rotolo's team.

Obviously it didn’t go so well playing with kids his own size, so the parents opt for the easy route playing against what amounts to midgets. Wow. Great confidence builder.

Need to be very clear here, this issue is not about the boy. I’m sure he is a fine young man. This is about the choices his parents are making for him. This is about his parents and a greedy team using the child to profit.

Amen to that brother. I am tired of all the puny little attack and their punk a$$ prima donna selfish dads that scream when anyone comes near their precious Johnny. WHAAAA he's bigger than my kid. He must be a hold back and a cheater. Treat my kid differently just because he's smaller. He should get to play attack because he can't play anywhere else on the field.

Hilarious. So true. Show me the smallest attack, and I will show you the most toxic (and shortest) dad for any team. When the dad is 5 8, why is he surprised when all the other kids on the field are bigger than his kid.

Yes, can we please get back to talking more about Taz and Madlax and how they cheat with Holdbacks. Cause that’s not beating a dead horse.

Why do you think most current coaches became coaches?
To give their kids a chance to play, WO them most wouldn't even make an A roster.
That goes for almost every club out there

Actually a child can excel at all levels. No way should he be stuck playing up just because he's been blessed physically. That's ridiculous... if he's capable of doing both more power to him.

They're both bad. Think they own the team and tear down everyone else. Drag on team.

I am short. I am bitter because other dads are taller than me. Some people call me Napoleon. When my son was born, I realized that he would be too small to play a real sport, like basketball or football. I registered him for lacrosse and coached his team. I ensured that he played attack and scored lots of goals. As he got better, it made me fell better about being short. But when a bigger kid beats my kid, I get sad. I yell at the bigger kid and refs to make myself feel better. I need help. Sound familiar?

We don't yell at the refs because we are bitter We yell because lax has no age requirements! When no one is governing the kids age who are playing we the parents get frustrated and tend to take it out on the refs. Sorry ref.

Wow. We got some really messed up parents out there, to think up a post like this. Very sad to think there are actually parents out there with such jealous/inferior thoughts. You are one sorry person.

"Excels at all levels"???

He can't play with kids his own size, so he plays with dwarfs and feels great about himself. How is that excelling at all levels?? He only excels if he is twice as big as his competition. Not sure that would be called "excelling" though...!!

Let's be honest, it's one big joke!!

So who is the real "mad daddy" here? It is Taz's DoubleNickel. Wait until everyone sees what he has been posting. Not pretty stuff. It is sad because you are only hurting your own kid.

Easy there DoubleNickel. Please get some help. For all you WP, Express, and Maryland parents that want to know who has been talking filth about your wives and kids, I have some interesting info for you.

wow . He is a good player , let's not get crazy .

Listen up jealous, big-kid dad. You obviously never played lacrosse. Let me tell you how lacrosse works, as a 15 year youth coach and former D1 player. The best players play attack. The good players play midfield. The least best (worst) players play defense. Size doesn't have much to do with it.

wow . He is a good player , let's not get crazy .

Listen up jealous, big-kid dad. You obviously never played lacrosse. Let me tell you how lacrosse works, as a 15 year youth coach and former D1 player. The best players play attack. The good players play midfield. The least best (worst) players play defense. Size doesn't have much to do with it. There are plenty of big attackman out there, in case you haven't been paying attention. News flash: Your kid just aint good!!!

Sounds to me like something DoubleNickel or DoubleDeuce would say . . . .

Sounds like you been coaching 15 yrs too long, attack is where you hide your weakest players, middies are the true work horses of the team and defense combined with solid middies wins games. Any knowledgable d1 coach or player will tell you the same

The poster is spot on. If you don't already know this, then you have never played the sport and know nothing about it. It's common knowledge, not an insult.

Thanks Taz attack dad, I will be sure to tell my Taz defender son what you think of him, if he hasn't already read it. And you wonder why people leave our team?

I am a knowledgeable coach and former D1 player, and I am not telling you that. You are an ignorant dad who never played the game. You know nothing except what some other dad told you, who is in your same position.

LISTEN UP!!! You really think that High Schools teams are hiding players on attack?? You think college teams are hiding players on attack?? You think top level youth teams are hiding people at attack??

Players that need to be hidden don't play!!!

You obviously talked to a youth town coach for a team that was either VERY young or VERY bad. On such teams, yes, you can hide people at attack. However, once you get past that early youth stage, the most skilled, best offensive players get moved to attack. Why? If these are your best scorers and play makers, you want to keep them in a place where they can do you the most good for the team. It's common sense. You want your best players on the field at all times. If your best players are playing midfield, then a good majority of the time, they are NOT EVEN ON THE FIELD, or they are playing defense or in transition... NOT in a position where they can do the most good for the team... in the offensive zone, scoring.

if you don't know anything about the subject matter, keep your mouth shut!

Misguided??? The guy is absolutely right. Everyone who played lacrosse knows this. Your kid knows this. The only people that apparently don't know are the parents who didn't play the game.

I agree , When they are young, 7-10 that maybe the case. After that Strong defense and Midfield and attack win games. You need them all to be strong . That's why it's a team sport . Would not want to be my D1 coach.

So according to your 15 yrs of coaching and d1 experience, every team has 3 levels of skilled players, and only the really skilled play attack while the the other less skilled get placed as middies and lowly defenders so they can be transitioned in and out of the game.Do you explain that to your players as you're assigning them their position s?? You must have gotten your coaching degree from a cracker jack box

When the ball is in transition or in the defensive end, tell me again exactly how the attack are scoring or doing anything thereto?

Think of it this way, defenders are the lineman of lacrosse. In football, the skill players play quarterback, receiver and running back. Everyone wants to be the quarterback, but very few ever get the opportunity. In lacrosse, the skill position is attack. The less-skilled position (relatively speaking) is defense. This is not a debate. Not trying to be a wise-a$$ here. It is what it is. If you are just finding this out now, then you really have not been paying attention.

Listen up jealous, big-kid dad. You obviously never played lacrosse. Let me tell you how lacrosse works, as a 15 year youth coach and former D1 player. The best players play attack. The good players play midfield. The least best (worst) players play defense. Size doesn't have much to do with it. There are plenty of big attackman out there, in case you haven't been paying attention. News flash: Your kid just aint good!!!

That may be the most misguided post I have ever read. Here comes the typical name calling, lax resume, or well worded, long winded (I am smart) respose. Brace for it. Lol.

I am smart. You, not so much. Try spell check next time.

Thanks lol. Bait taken...

Your welcome.

So, the smallest kids, (which usually are the coaches sons) for the most part play which position???
While the larger kids can play anywhere on the field..
Size and athleticism has everything to do with it. You can't teach those attributes but you can teach stick skills and IQ.
If size didn't matter why would the smallest kids all be huddled at attack??

Sounds like you been coaching 15 yrs too long, attack is where you hide your weakest players, middies are the true work horses of the team and defense combined with solid middies wins games. Any knowledgable d1 coach or player will tell you the same

I am a knowledgeable coach and former D1 player, and I am not telling you that. You are an ignorant dad who never played the game. You know nothing except what some other dad told you, who is in your same position.

LISTEN UP!!! You really think that High Schools teams are hiding players on attack?? You think college teams are hiding players on attack?? You think top level youth teams are hiding people at attack??

Players that need to be hidden don't play!!!

You obviously talked to a youth town coach for a team that was either VERY young or VERY bad. On such teams, yes, you can hide people at attack. However, once you get past that early youth stage, the most skilled, best offensive players get moved to attack. Why? If these are your best scorers and play makers, you want to keep them in a place where they can do you the most good for the team. It's common sense. You want your best players on the field at all times. If your best players are playing midfield, then a good majority of the time, they are NOT EVEN ON THE FIELD, or they are playing defense or in transition... NOT in a position where they can do the most good for the team... in the offensive zone, scoring.

if you don't know anything about the subject matter, keep your mouth shut!

When the ball is in transition or in the defensive end, tell me again exactly how the attack are scoring or doing anything thereto?

Are you REALLY as dumb as you sound??

You are a clueless lax daddy who never played the sport, and likely never played any sport because most of this is basic, common sense. You need to stop typing. Read. And learn. Educate yourself on the subject matter, or stop posting moronic posts.

This is probably the most ignorant thing I have ever read on here.

I agree , When they are young, 7-10 that maybe the case. After that Strong defense and Midfield and attack win games. You need them all to be strong . That's why it's a team sport . Would not want to be my D1 coach.

No idea of what your point is or who you are agreeing with. Want to try that again???

LOL. CERTAINLY. I agree that happens in Lacrosse at a young age . Not once they get into 4th grade and above. A D! coach would never say anything that stupid. I would never want him to be my coach.

Think of it this way, defenders are the lineman of lacrosse. In football, the skill players play quarterback, receiver and running back. Everyone wants to be the quarterback, but very few ever get the opportunity. In lacrosse, the skill position is attack. The less-skilled position (relatively speaking) is defense. This is not a debate. Not trying to be a wise-a$$ here. It is what it is. If you are just finding this out now, then you really have not been paying attention.

Having played attack at D1 college and midfield in high school, I can honestly say midfield was the most physically and mentally challenging of the two. As far as skills , I came to attack with the same skill set, just needed to make adjustments in the way I played and wound up being the leading scorer on our team. Let's just call it for what it is, attackmen have an inherent advantage when it comes to scoring, to say they are more skilled on a whole however, is nonsense..

To the dad that made the following post...

So, the smallest kids, (which usually are the coaches sons) for the most part play which position???
While the larger kids can play anywhere on the field..
Size and athleticism has everything to do with it. You can't teach those attributes but you can teach stick skills and IQ.
If size didn't matter why would the smallest kids all be huddled at attack??

Here's my response to you...

Dude, you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. You are saying only the smallest kids play attack. Let's look at the top 3 LI teams. In no special order, they are Taz, WP and Express. The starting attack for each of those teams have at least one big player on it, if not two. This is fact. If your son plays for one of these teams, which I'm sure he does, you must already know this. Taking these three teams as examples, approximately half of the attackman are larger kids. So, you are completely wrong when you say only the small kids play attack. That begs the question... why are you making that statement if it is not true?? That's simple. You are obsessed with your jealousy of small talented players, because you perceive them to be getting all of the glory, and taking that glory position away from your son who is a bigger kid, playing defense. That sound about right. You bet it does! I'm willing to bet that you are a jealous defenseman's dad from Taz, which really narrows it down for anyone who is trying to figure out who you are. I've heard there is a lot of that going on with Taz. And the comment about coaches sons playing attack, totally gave you away!! Your son is one of the bigger kids and you perceive that his size equates to ability and lacrosse IQ. But you have never played the sport, so you really have no idea. It doesn't. So, he is stuck with a pole in his hand. Not everyone can be an attackmen, like not everyone can be a quarterback. In order to make a lacrosse team work, you need good solid defenders. In football, you need a good solid line. Bottom line for you: Get use to it. It's probably never going to change. Value the defenseman position for it's important contribution to the team, and don't belittle it, just because there isn't a lot of glory associated with it.

You obviously missed the point of my post! SMH

IMO, most attackmen were once midfielders that showed a high aptitude for getting to the net. Maybe it's their fast first step and ability to beat a defender. Maybe it's their quick release and ability to place the ball. I'm not saying they're better than midfielders, they are just much better scorers. Now, if you can find an attackman that is great on ground balls, assists as well as he scores, rides hard and causes turnovers, then that kid is probably the most valuable player on the team.

And to say defenders are not skilled shows a complete lack of knowledge about the sport. It's just a completely different skillset, and for the most part, they are just really tough SOB's (metally and physically) that have a drive to stop players.

Great. Glad to hear. I will totally take you on your word and good luck in Denver next in summer of 2019.

What are you the the end all of lacrosse. You are the dumb [lacrosse] coach that wrote it. The worst advice I have seen to date. I doubt you ever played D 1 or coach. And if you played D1 lacrosse you would never say something that stupid as a coach . I feel bad for your teammates and the kids you coach in your little fantasy land. .. haha !!! that better DUMB [lacrosse]...

See you in Denver Maddy! Ooops, You and your band of sorry hold backs (and double hold backs, as the case may be) can't go. I totally forgot, they don't allow cheaters in the WSYL. Sorry to hear.

All of us on-age LI teams are going to have a blast, taking home the hardware yet again!!!!!

Hope you've learned a lesson from all of this... "cheaters never prosper!!"... you guys are scum of the earth. Was that too harsh???

I feel bad for your teammates and the kids you coach in your little fantasy land. .. haha !!! that better DUMB [lacrosse]...

Yes, compared to you and other clueless parents, I am the end all of lacrosse. Read and learn something. Then shut up.

If size didn't matter why would the smallest kids all be huddled at attack??

Here's my response to you...

Dude, you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. You are saying only the smallest kids play attack. Let's look at the top 3 LI teams. In no special order, they are Taz, WP and Express. The starting attack for each of those teams have at least one big player on it, if not two. This is fact. If your son plays for one of these teams, which I'm sure he does, you must already know this. Taking these three teams as examples, approximately half of the attackman are larger kids. So, you are completely wrong when you say only the small kids play attack. That begs the question... why are you making that statement if it is not true?? That's simple. You are obsessed with your jealousy of small talented players, because you perceive them to be getting all of the glory, and taking that glory position away from your son who is a bigger kid, playing defense. That sound about right. You bet it does! I'm willing to bet that you are a jealous defenseman's dad from Taz, which really narrows it down for anyone who is trying to figure out who you are. I've heard there is a lot of that going on with Taz. And the comment about coaches sons playing attack, totally gave you away!! Your son is one of the bigger kids and you perceive that his size equates to ability and lacrosse IQ. But you have never played the sport, so you really have no idea. It doesn't. So, he is stuck with a pole in his hand. Not everyone can be an attackmen, like not everyone can be a quarterback. In order to make a lacrosse team work, you need good solid defenders. In football, you need a good solid line. Bottom line for you: Get use to it. It's probably never going to change. Value the defenseman position for it's important contribution to the team, and don't belittle it, just because there isn't a lot of glory associated with it.

I love how Express keeps associating themselves with WP & Taz as the top teams in LI....

If the discussion is about the top three teams on LI, then Express is part of the conversation. Obviously. If it's about the top two teams, then they are not part of the conversation, yet. Not an Express parent.

wow . He is a good player , let's not get crazy .

Listen up jealous, big-kid dad. You obviously never played lacrosse. Let me tell you how lacrosse works, as a 15 year youth coach and former D1 player. The best players play attack. The good players play midfield. The least best (worst) players play defense. Size doesn't have much to do with it. There are plenty of big attackman out there, in case you haven't been paying attention. News flash: Your kid just aint good!!!

Sounds like you been coaching 15 yrs too long, attack is where you hide your weakest players, middies are the true work horses of the team and defense combined with solid middies wins games. Any knowledgable d1 coach or player will tell you the same

I am a knowledgeable coach and former D1 player, and I am not telling you that. You are an ignorant dad who never played the game. You know nothing except what some other dad told you, who is in your same position.

LISTEN UP!!! You really think that High Schools teams are hiding players on attack?? You think college teams are hiding players on attack?? You think top level youth teams are hiding people at attack??

Players that need to be hidden don't play!!!

You obviously talked to a youth town coach for a team that was either VERY young or VERY bad. On such teams, yes, you can hide people at attack. However, once you get past that early youth stage, the most skilled, best offensive players get moved to attack. Why? If these are your best scorers and play makers, you want to keep them in a place where they can do you the most good for the team. It's common sense. You want your best players on the field at all times. If your best players are playing midfield, then a good majority of the time, they are NOT EVEN ON THE FIELD, or they are playing defense or in transition... NOT in a position where they can do the most good for the team... in the offensive zone, scoring.

if you don't know anything about the subject matter, keep your mouth shut!

Think of it this way, defenders are the lineman of lacrosse. In football, the skill players play quarterback, receiver and running back. Everyone wants to be the quarterback, but very few ever get the opportunity. In lacrosse, the skill position is attack. The less-skilled position (relatively speaking) is defense. This is not a debate. Not trying to be a wise-a$$ here. It is what it is. If you are just finding this out now, then you really have not been paying attention.

Having played attack at D1 college and midfield in high school, I can honestly say midfield was the most physically and mentally challenging of the two. As far as skills , I came to attack with the same skill set, just needed to make adjustments in the way I played and wound up being the leading scorer on our team. Let's just call it for what it is, attackmen have an inherent advantage when it comes to scoring, to say they are more skilled on a whole however, is nonsense..

Son, you have ALOT to learn.

Try putting weak players at Def... Then you will see how good your goalie is.. Each position on the field has attributes that will draw certain players to it. The only thing I will concede is that your middies need the most endurance of the positions.

Pure genius, this guy. lol. Middies need endurance. That’s your contribution here?? Profound stuff!! Eye roll!!

How many of you guys have full-on tat sleeves? 50%? 60%?

LOL. We can smell/see you guys a mile away. Feel fortunate we weren't playing our best in DE and you made it somewhat close.

I highly doubt that you have been paying attention here, but this topic originated with a bunch of defenseman dads who never played the game, but think they are experts, bashing “little” “coaches” sons Attackman.

While this is never talked about, this is the reality of the game. Everyone that actually played, knows this.

Lets use your example, whether it’s actually true or not. You have an “inherent advantage when it comes to scoring.” Is that luck? Karma? No. You have lacrosse skills that are better than everyone else. Do you play defense? Of course not. Did you play midfield. Yes, but you were so skilled you were moved to attack. Perfect example. Enough said. You want your best players where they can do the most good for your team. And you don’t want them off the field. Ever.

Weaker skilled kids don’t mean they are weak defenders. Try to stay up here. They are weaker on the Lacrosse skills of passing, catching, off hand, shooting, dodging and IQ. That doesn’t mean they can’t be strong defenders. Those skills just aren’t that important for defenseman.

Now, if you can find an attackman that is great on ground balls, assists as well as he scores, rides hard and causes turnovers, then that kid is probably the most valuable player on the team.

And to say defenders are not skilled shows a complete lack of knowledge about the sport. It's just a completely different skillset, and for the most part, they are just really tough SOB's (metally and physically) that have a drive to stop players.

Defenders have a “completely different skill set?” Yeah. They play defense. Their lacrosse skills, not so much! Exactly!

And, they are”just really tough SOB’s”?? Really?? That’s why they play defense?? I don’t think so. They have been playing that position since 2nd grade when the coach said, here kid, take the pole, you arent keeping up with the rest of the kids, so you are playing pole. He never actually told the child that, but that’s what happened. There are no “tough SOB’” in 2nd grade! Sorry!!

I've see more than a few players who were heads and shoulders the most talented and skilled player on the field at ANY position, and then decide to take up a a pole and be a defenseman.

Defenders don’t need to throw, catch strong and weak or dodge? I guess that’s true if they don’t want to clear the ball

You are lying, or you don't have a clue of what you are looking at when you watch a lacrosse game. That has NEVER happened. I'm done beating the dead horse. If you want to refuse to acknowledge reality, that's completely up to you. Maybe your fantasy world is a better place for you. The reality is, your son will likely always be a defenseman, if he chooses to continue playing this sport. There is no shame at all in playing defense. They are extremely valuable contributors to every team. But stop bashing the people that play attack, which is what sparked this whole tirade. Your pole aint never going to play attack. You know why?? he aint good enough!! Get use to it.

You and your holdbacks have a tourney this weekend?

We're going to miss you in Denver next year. How about you just leave all of your hold backs home and go anyway?? It would be fun!

If it were up to us here on LI, we'd tell you to bring all of your hold backs... doesn't matter to us. We're all use to Madlax cheating. You guys have always been cheaters since day one, right Mad daddy?!! Nothing different for us. Either way, your little hold backs would go home crying, so maybe it's not such a good idea.

You can deny it all you want, but I don't need to make it up. In the most prominent case, it was a kid who was starting at attack or middie on a U- national team, and he switched to pole mid-season. And for the record, my sons are both middies. But, please continue to act like a sanctimonious [lacrosse].

Madlax has zero holdbacks. Have fun in Denver playing terrible teams and wasting your money. With the money you're wasting, you could have gotten another leg tat.

I understand there is a shirt that says, chicks dig goal scorers, but let's give the poles some love!

High tier midi, aye?? First, who other than you, a Lacrosse neophyte, considers him a high tier midi? Let me explain your situation. Seen it a million times. Your son is on a bad team. The defense is dreadful. Your son is a D midi, who scores maybe a goal or two a season. But he plays decent defense. Since he provides no productivity on offense, the D midi gets moved to pole defense. Happens all the time with bad teams with horrible defenses.

If a midi got moved to defense it is because he was a D midi and had no offensive ability. And the team was really hurting for defenseman. If you haven’t played the game, you haven’t a clue of what you are talking about. So listen to the people that know and zip it.

Mad Daddy is BAAAAAAAAACK!

Mad Daddy, we need to catch up...

You and your holdbacks have a tourney this weekend?

We're going to miss you in Denver next year. How about you just leave all of your hold backs home and go anyway?? It would be fun!

If it were up to us here on LI, we'd tell you to bring all of your hold backs... doesn't matter to us. We're all use to Madlax cheating. You guys have always been cheaters since day one, right Mad daddy?!! Nothing different for us. Either way, your little hold backs would go home crying, so maybe it's not such a good idea.

Madlax has zero holdbacks. Have fun in Denver playing terrible teams and wasting your money. With the money you're wasting, you could have gotten another leg tat.

Save the lies mad daddy, it’s killing your credibility up here. The MD dads have already been on here filling us in on you.

Hey mad daddy. How come your jolly green giant midi doesn’t play on age? The rest of your hold backs aren’t so noticeable but that kid sticks out like a sore thumb! Hard to hide a kid that is two feet taller than everyone else, and drives to practices. Are the parents afraid he might get his feelings hurt when he sucks playing against kids his own size?? He must have a HUGE confidence problem, if he has to play against dwarfs.

Is that why ALL of your holdbacks play on your team?

I’m just curious, because I don’t know any holdbacks, so i was wondering what the motivation was. I really appreciate any insights you can give us. Thanks!!

Weaker skilled kids don’t mean they are weak defenders. Try to stay up here. They are weaker on the Lacrosse skills of passing, catching, off hand, shooting, dodging and IQ. That doesn’t mean they can’t be strong defenders. Those skills just aren’t that important for defenseman.

I've see more than a few players who were heads and shoulders the most talented and skilled player on the field at ANY position, and then decide to take up a a pole and be a defenseman.

You are lying, or you don't have a clue of what you are looking at when you watch a lacrosse game. That has NEVER happened. I'm done beating the dead horse. If you want to refuse to acknowledge reality, that's completely up to you. Maybe your fantasy world is a better place for you. The reality is, your son will likely always be a defenseman, if he chooses to continue playing this sport. There is no shame at all in playing defense. They are extremely valuable contributors to every team. But stop bashing the people that play attack, which is what sparked this whole tirade. Your pole aint never going to play attack. You know why?? he aint good enough!! Get use to it.

You can deny it all you want, but I don't need to make it up. In the most prominent case, it was a kid who was starting at attack or middie on a U- national team, and he switched to pole mid-season. And for the record, my sons are both middies. But, please continue to act like a sanctimonious [lacrosse].

If a midi got moved to defense it is because he was a D midi and had no offensive ability. And the team was really hurting for defenseman. If you haven’t played the game, you haven’t a clue of what you are talking about. So listen to the people that know and zip it.

The kid was a leading scorer on his club team before he moved to pole - a team that he still plays with, and is one of the best in the country - the kid would be the best at any position on the field if he wanted to play it. You can deny it all you want,.but the facts are all in conflict with every one of your assumptions. Considering he did all of this both on a top LI club team AND with a national U- team. Keep reaching . . .

Same thing is true on a 2021 team in DC area. Best kid on team. Leading scorer with pole. Takes FO and is on man-up team. Incredible to watch. By far, the most exciting player on the field.

Hey D hating troll, you really need to get out of your momas basement. I know who you are now, most normal folks have seen you before. Total loser!

The post didn’t mention the strength of competition, just the fact that it doesn’t make sense to state the “gap has closed” when a 2024 team plays a 2023.

Competition was good. Jealous 2023 parent doesn't like his kid losing to little 2024, Very embarrassing!

WP stronger than ever, beating up on competition TWICE their size.

Go back to losing to all of the 2024 B teams...

Regardless of the posturing, if you're 1/2 the size of a team one year older, either you're a way undersized team, the older teams are all hold backs, or a combination of both! Which one was/is it??

WP is a great team but looks like other 2024 teams are getting stronger- 2024 Eclipse looked good. Would be surprised if WP makes it a habit of playing up - after all we are not talking Tenacious Turtles here.

WP is a very good team, no doubt, but get a hold of yourself. The competition last weekend was not good. Your only win was to a very weak town team. Even in town tournaments, that team loses 3 games. 2023 Eclipse is a decent Connecticut team, but I don't think they've ever beat a LI team before. The Express North team that you played is a brand new team and it's their B team (newsflash, their A team is mediocre). Kudos for not being embarrassed by all of the 3rd tier 2023 teams, I guess. At least that's something.

WP is fine, very Strong, TAZ is fine, very strong, EXPRESS Looking very Strong this season. Good to see the competition is tightening. All those comments I am reading from above reek with JEALOUSY. sad to say the least.

Madlax lost 2 games 4 weeks ago, losing record against pack. Sorry clown, those are the facts.

WP has been playing up since the beginning. Nothing new here. Won 2023 championship at Yale last weekend. When did 2024 Eclipse look good? They didn’t look good the last July. WP crushed them.

Unfortunately, the Madlax cheater model doesn't work "on" (not "in", fool!) Long Island. No cheaters here!! Keep your scummy kind in VA!

You know, you guys should just come clean.

The whole 2024 lacrosse world knows Madlax is stacked with holdbacks. It's the Madlax culture. It wasn't your fault. You guys were grandfathered in. You'll feel much better about yourselves. A real cleansing of the soul! A huge weight will be lifted from your shoulders! Rise up together, and see the light!! Let's say it together...!!!

"Hi, my son plays for Madlax and we are cheaters!"

Now, doesn't that feel better?!!

Thank you for the continued attention. But it gets a little overwhelming sometimes I must admit. I’ll be sure to let you know when the next tourney is so you and your son can get autographs. Thanks again!!

Scared of what? Shooting themselves in the face like Taz did? I'd be afraid of that too.

The person gloating about the WP is probably not even a WP parent. This board is a lot of the same person talking to themselves. I'm surprised by the amount of negative comments on here about WP. Any parents, WP or not, that comes on here and says WP is the best around hasn't been paying attention the last 2-3 years. Yes, they have beaten every team out there, but have also lost to them as well. They are a very good team, that's it. There are at least 5 teams that can beat them on any given day. WP has no hold backs, has never brought a player from out of state to play on their team, hasn't cut a kid in years, (some have just left) and doesn't offer free tuition to 3/4 of their team just to keep them from other organizations. These are some of the biggest complaints on this site.

Nobody goes to that stupid Denver tournament except for 1-2 good teams whose parents desire a trophy and watching their kids on TV. Why make families pay $$$ when there is better competition in the Mid-Atlantic? Why do most LI tournaments suck? Because the quality teams are in the Mid-Atlantic, not LI.

LOL. Wasting your money on airline tickets, hotels just to beat up on some terrible CO teams.

MAd Lax If you really want a team to go to Denver just have some of your 2025's and 2026's show DOB's they might make the age requirement. MIGHT?

Warrior Games??? Long Island North and Long Island South??

Can we get this game going right here on Long Island and save a trip to UMASS and $$$$?

It's funny that we are in your heads so much that you are convinced that Madlax 2024 has reclassed kids. There's no proof that we do because we simply don't, but whatever makes you feel better after we pummel you time and time again.

You are lying. EVERY SINGLE DECENT MD TEAM HAS SEVERAL HOLDBACKS. it is the culture there. it’s is common knowledge. It’s also common knowledge that your biggie midi is the marque holdback at this age bracket.

IF ANYONE ON LI IS NOT UP TO DATE ON THIS ISSUE, READ THE 2024 MD THREAD. ALL OF THE MD PARENTS TALKING ABOUT IT. GREAT STUFF! THE WHOLE STATE ARE A BUNCH OF CHEATERS WITH MADLAX LEADING THE PACK.

They bill it as a competition to see which region is the best. However, they have two teams for LI. So they split the talent from the LI region into two teams. How does that make any sense, relative to the purpose of the games, as they describe it?? Then, they will create an additional team from each region, of the players that didn't make the team (but all too willing to pay the crazy money they are charging for the tourney). None of this makes any sense at all. It is one big $$$$$$ GRAB!!

A better question. Anyone have any knowledge of the Brine games in VA? Based on the team rosters that were posted to their website, this is a legit "national" competition, unlike the Warrior games. But, does it really draw the top talent from all of these area's? My thinking is, at the younger ages, like 2024, it doesn't. But I don't know.

Great reading on the MD 2024 thread. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know it was so ingrained down there.

Here's a quote from the MD 2024 thread, in response to a question from a MD parent looking for a team without holdbacks:

"Yes....the bad ones. All teams in the HoCo elite divisions will have a lot of holdbacks. The other option is to drop down a level if you son is not able to get time on the elite teams. There is nothing wrong with that."

There's plenty more on the thread.

So when mad daddy tries to tell you they don't have any holdbacks, he is as slippery as they come. A real sleezeball. They have as many as any MD team. Which is a lot! Their big midi is considered the prize holdback of the whole crooked holdback scam in MD.

So, no... you definitely will not be seeing Madlax in Denver next year.

IF ANYONE ON LI IS NOT UP TO DATE ON THIS ISSUE, READ THE 2024 MD THREAD. ALL OF THE MD PARENTS TALKING ABOUT IT. GREAT STUFF! THE WHOLE STATE ARE A BUNCH OF CHEATERS WITH MADLAX LEADING THE PACK.

Great reading on the MD 2024 thread. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know it was so ingrained down there.

Pretty amazing, really. When you think, the top teams in ‘24 are WP, Taz, 91 MD, Bethesda and Madlax, only WP and Taz play with no holdbacks. The rest have 6 - 8, and sometimes more, holdbacks. Especially impressive for WP, as they are likely the best of the bunch. Well done gentlemen.

Except for the fact the taz beat them 6 out of last 8 games. Happy Thanksgiving!

Taz is a great team, no doubt. One of the best! WP has nothing but respect for their brother LI team. But 2024 supremacy is very clear, based on the last 12 months. Just ask Eclipse...

Interesting way to look at it
WP won every tourney except one last summer
How did Taz do?
They lost to 91 MD, madlax, wp and eclipse (who wp crushed in the finals)
This falls highlights include a loss to true blue and another loss to madlax while wp tied eclipse 7th grade team and beat outlaws 23 A
5th grade is over. Taz no longer top 3 team
Time to bring back the chosen one or dial it down

So unfair the way MD teams abuse the system. Both, the dirt bag cheating parents and the cheating teams. Not like it's the exception, and not the rule. IT IS THE RULE!! All of these teams are BUILT ON HOLDBACKS. It's little kid lacrosse!! Really?!! What are they teaching their kids?? Cheat the system, every chance you get? Cheaters prosper?? What a bunch of dirt bags. The whole state.

Northern VA (or "Capital" as you like to say) is MD, in youth lacrosse, as you know.

But I do LOVE your comment... "and no COMEBACKS". That has to be the only accurate statement you have made on this website. Congrats!

Question: Rumor has it that your biggie midi holdback is going to play on-age this spring. Any truth to that?

If so, do you know what the parents motivation is?

Maybe they feel like he isn't developing, playing down, against players half his size? That does make a lot of sense.

Or maybe they feel guilty that he dominates that teams play, not allowing any opportunities for any of his team mates, and they are not developing as a result? It does appear that the coaches only game plan is to get him the ball, 100% of the time, so that seems reasonable.

Or, maybe they just feel guilty about how dishonest it is to play him down. After all, as parent, we always want to teach our kids to do the right thing.

I'm thinking maybe it's all of these things.

I kind of hope he sticks around. Seems like a very nice boy. Hope the parents get their act together, though. They appear to be a real mess.

Guess that whole cheating thing didn't pay off, after all, for you guys. Kinda backfired on you, huh?? Don't you know, CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER?? You should have thought that one through a little better.

Didn't Taz just handle Bethesda (who might have winning records vs wp) and handle 91md. To say not top 3 team is silly. Give credit where deserved.

You seriously are insane. We Madlax parents think we know who you are based in your sideline behavior. Of course we could go to Denver but that is a waste of time and money. That's why only [lacrosse] LI trophy chasing parents go there to beat up on terrible teams.

Our rosters are given to tournaments every time. You don't think they would say something? We are on grade and on age.

You need to get a life. Seriously - You are obsessed with 6th grade boys.

Not being able to go to Denver explains soooo much, Never thought about it until it was raised here.

All we have heard from you Madlax parents is how well to do you are with tales of your wealth in Fairfax County as orthodontists and bragging about employment at Camelot (must be a hedge fund). and now you are crying poverty about Denver being too costly?

Sorry no sale.

Keep lying Madlax loser. We LI'ers expect nothing less from you. EVERYONE knows about your holdbacks. EVERYONE! You really think that every single team you play in MD doesn't talk about your teenage midi holdback? Read your own thread, [lacrosse]. Seriously, how many you got? I'm guessing 6. Some people say 4. Other people have it at between 6 and 8. Maybe more. Which is it??

100% top 3 team. Taz WP Madlax. Pick any order you want, doesn’t matter. Every WP/Taz game has been 1 goal either way for as long as I can remember. Last time WP/ Madlax player Madlax won by 1, even though crazy Madlax guy says they “rolled”. Bethesda does give the WP trouble, for whatever reason but WP has never lost to team 9d1 Maryland, etc, etc. All great lacrosse teams.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with having a team full of holdbacks. Guess the orthodontist and all of the rich northern VA suburb people have fallen on hard times! It must help that all of your hold backs are Madlax scholarship recipients though right??

Fellow LI’ers. In the spirit of the holiday, let’s pass the hat for our good friends in VA to insure they have food on their tables, for all of their holdbacks. Hey, those big kids eat a lot!

Those are the top five. Then it drops off pretty good. I'd say that Bethesda is most definitely on the bottom of that list. Not debatable, in my mind. Right now, I think you have to put WP on the top, the way they have been playing in the past 9 months. Then, I think it has to be Mad Lax, only because they always seem to give Taz trouble. And I don't think 91 MD is there yet. So, for now, it goes:

1. WP
2. ML
3. Taz
4. 91 MD
5. BLC

Pretty much agree, but BLC does not give WP any problems. WP blew them out last time they played. Not a competitive game, at all.

The last Taz/WP game was not as close as it appeared. Taz barely got the ball on offense the whole 2nd half of that game. When they did, they turned it over almost immediately. The story of the game was the Taz goal tender play. Number 11 must have had 10 saves in the 2nd half. Many from point blank range, from WP's best scorers. A "good/solid" performance from the Taz goal tender, and WP wins that game easily by at least 5. No fake news. Taz has some great players, and they are a top, top team. But at this point it appears that WP is a cut above. We'll see what happens this year.

Same reason why the [lacrosse]'s TOC has died. Just a money play to get parents desperate to win a trophy. Of course all of our families can afford. We went to real schools and got real jobs. We didn't see Stony Brook or Hofstra as anything but a toilet.

Sad that you can't take your pummeling with any grace. You should get a Madlax leg tat.

Wp is not even in top 3 maybe top 5. It’s madlax and taz and then everyone else

I'm thinking maybe it's all of these things.

I kind of hope he sticks around. Seems like a very nice boy. Hope the parents get their act together, though. They appear to be a real mess.

No skin in the game, but I do share the experience of having a son on a team with a big dominant hold back. It was a horrible experience for my son and 90% of the players on the team. This scenario went on for years, just like Madlax. For a few years the team was dominant. Won a ton of games and were tops in the area. However, the only reason why we won all of those games was because of this one kid. Everyone knew it. The parents of the team knew it. The players knew it. The competition new it. The competitions parents knew it. Everyone. It was extremely obvious. Give the ball to the big kid and let him score. Sound familiar? It's the exact same scenario as Madlax. After about 3-4 years, our team started to lose. Several teams were now better than us. Even younger teams were beating us. Why? All of the other teams were developing all of their players during this time when our team was handing the ball to the big kid. Our team wasn't developing at all during this time, because no one else did anything. Not so sure it was even good for the big kid. Yeah, maybe he gains some confidence after running over teams that are half his size, but it's not real competition for him. So, was the experience actually helping him? That's debatable. The parents finally started to complain, but it took about 4-5 years. It's better now, but still not great, since we still have the hold back. But, the size advantage has subsided some, since a lot of the kids are starting to catch up with him, size-wise. The point? Parents, don't let this happen. Don't waste this valuable time in your sons development, by allowing this Madlax scenario to continue. They are stealing your money and to add insult to injury, your son will be years behind his peers, that have not had to endure such conditions. I wish you the best. It's not easy. Good luck!

thats a lie was , at that game. Was good both ways . Big saves from both goalies: TAZ was up 4-0 and gave the lead away and lost by 1 in Ot. Which should not have happened TAZ scored and the Refs whistle and they called it no goal. Both teams are very good: eirher one can win on any given day . Both very well rounded. .

Taz parent, desperate to hold on

Sorry, can’t put the Pack at number one when I haven’t played anyone this year. And they have an added anyone new to the team.

Not a pack parent but what does not adding any new players have to do with this?? Based on their history, doesn’t look like they need any new players. Don’t tell me that idiotic biggie midi daddy has reemerged.

100% top 3 team. Taz WP Madlax. Pick any order you want, doesn’t matter. Every WP/Taz game has been 1 goal either way for as long as I can remember. Last time WP/ Madlax player Madlax won by 1, even though crazy Madlax guy says they “rolled”. Bethesda does give the WP trouble, for whatever reason but WP has never lost to team 9d1 Maryland, etc, etc. All great lacrosse teams.

Those are the top five. Then it drops off pretty good. I'd say that Bethesda is most definitely on the bottom of that list. Not debatable, in my mind. Right now, I think you have to put WP on the top, the way they have been playing in the past 9 months. Then, I think it has to be Mad Lax, only because they always seem to give Taz trouble. And I don't think 91 MD is there yet. So, for now, it goes:

1. WP
2. ML
3. Taz
4. 91 MD
5. BLC

Add kids? It’s important to add a B kid to your roster? All of the A kids are already spoken for.

I am so thankful my sons team made the list, I can sleep at night now. Yippeeee.

The last Taz/WP game was not as close as it appeared. Taz barely got the ball on offense the whole 2nd half of that game. When they did, they turned it over almost immediately. The story of the game was the Taz goal tender play. Number 11 must have had 10 saves in the 2nd half. Many from point blank range, from WP's best scorers. A "good/solid" performance from the Taz goal tender, and WP wins that game easily by at least 5. No fake news. Taz has some great players, and they are a top, top team. But at this point it appears that WP is a cut above. We'll see what happens this year.

thats a lie was , at that game. Was good both ways . Big saves from both goalies: TAZ was up 4-0 and gave the lead away and lost by 1 in Ot. Which should not have happened TAZ scored and the Refs whistle and they called it no goal. Both teams are very good: eirher one can win on any given day . Both very well rounded. .

Apparently you were at a different game. Not going back and forth with you because you’re right. They are both very good teams. But, you really just disrespected your goalie by minimizing his contribution to that game. Best performance I’ve ever seen to date from a goalie this age. And then you exaggerate the performance of the offense, which there wasn’t any the second half. You are obviously a dad of an offensive player. Heard that there is a lot of strife between the parents of offensive and defensive players with Taz. Based on this, that appears to be true.

Tazzie Parent here. Hey madlax d-bag. Don’t put our team in the same sentence as Madlax. Taz Plays the game we love with class and integrity. Madlax is king of the bottom feeders of youth lacrosse. Cheaters to the core. Don’t EVER associate Taz with Madlax!!!

Seriously, but the WP, Taz, and Madlax need to go and have your own board. This is now days on days of the lax equivalent of a bunch of 10 year olds arguing. I've seen higher intellect exhibited amongst drunken bums in NYC!

You are lying. EVERY SINGLE DECENT MD TEAM HAS SEVERAL HOLDBACKS. it is the culture there. it’s is common knowledge. It’s also common knowledge that your biggie midi is the marque holdback at this age bracket.

IF ANYONE ON LI IS NOT UP TO DATE ON THIS ISSUE, READ THE 2024 MD THREAD. ALL OF THE MD PARENTS TALKING ABOUT IT. GREAT STUFF! THE WHOLE STATE ARE A BUNCH OF CHEATERS WITH MADLAX LEADING THE PACK.

Madlax is a VA team. And no comebacks. If you think we do, prove it. LOL at LI idiocy.

Northern VA (or "Capital" as you like to say) is MD, in youth lacrosse, as you know.

But I do LOVE your comment... "and no COMEBACKS". That has to be the only accurate statement you have made on this website. Congrats!

Question: Rumor has it that your biggie midi holdback is going to play on-age this spring. Any truth to that?

If so, do you know what the parents motivation is?

Maybe they feel like he isn't developing, playing down, against players half his size? That does make a lot of sense.

Or maybe they feel guilty that he dominates that teams play, not allowing any opportunities for any of his team mates, and they are not developing as a result? It does appear that the coaches only game plan is to get him the ball, 100% of the time, so that seems reasonable.

Or, maybe they just feel guilty about how dishonest it is to play him down. After all, as parent, we always want to teach our kids to do the right thing.

I'm thinking maybe it's all of these things.

I kind of hope he sticks around. Seems like a very nice boy. Hope the parents get their act together, though. They appear to be a real mess.

Best post of the year!

So so Sad : same Jealous parents ; so sad . Grow up already . Your kid is one on the weakest on the team. Does he even play. Everyone knows who you are

Madlax owns LI. Fact.

How do you think LI Express North shrieber looks?

They have some talent but very inconsistent. Schreiber is a headcase. Lots of politics.

Is a fogo really enough to make the jump from an also ran to being a top team? I personally don't think so. Yes winning faceoffs is important but even the teams with the best fogo's are built around a lot more than that.

Specifically speaking about EN, I don't see how you think they are one player away from anything. They have no track record that says they are that close. I would say they are below other Wescthester teams like like 2way (no fogo) or Preds (ridiculous fogo and goalies.)

On another note, isn't 11 a bit young for a kid to be a fogo?

I am not an Express Dad , In fact I think Schreiber is an [lacrosse] , But let me say this, Express North 24 has come a long way. Are they Wolfpack , Taz, Madlax, etc? No. But they are way better than 2 way or Preds. A great fogo can be a real difference maker if you have the other pieces of the puzzle in place. When you play against fogo from LI Express, Taz, Wolfpack, and you lose 90% of the draws, your at a massive disadvantage. In my opinion, no wrstchester program focuses enough on faceoffs. No one saying the kid has to get off.

You have no idea what you are talking about. First off, they would crush 2 Way or Preds by 10 goals. Also, if you don't realize that top teams in 2024 are utilizing a Fogo, you should not post on this site.
Possession is probably the most important part of lacrosse. This team competes even though they have this glaring liability.

They aren’t very good. Schwalje beat them by at least 10 goals this fall.

It was a fall play day. They traveled to Long Island with 14 kids and only 4 midfielders. Definitely not at full strength. If you have been paying attention to fall tournaments, you would realize that this team is playing together, against tough competition and is holding their own. Ask Igloo or Taz if they are any good. Jack.

The best team nobody talks about is eclipse

Eclipse 24 is by far the best 24 team in the Westchester /Fairfield ct area. I would love to hear from any parents on that team as to whether or not it’s a good environment , good coaches, etc.

I have not been paying attention to fall tournaments but would like to know where Express North has competed. I was told by Beth Schrieber that they didn't do so well during the summer so played B bracket at a tournament to get a win. To me, that sounded like being a lot more than a fogo away from being up there with Taz, Madlax, WP etc.

If Schwalje beats Express North by at least 10 goals that means a fogo is a 10 goal swing? Personally, I would think you want to work on your defense and goalie if that is the case, no?

Igloo, Taz, are Express North any good? We were instructed to ask you.

Wait until summer 2018 and then we’ll talk.

PT/Eclipse/Preds understand where they need to be to compete against LI/MD which are the national standards for Youth lax. Don’t throw divisive pea-brained comments out there.

Ok. Let’s look at the past performances. But before that, predators is not in this discussion. They do not play against the best Secondly. Last year Eclipse outperformed prime time and express north in every tourney and against every team. They beat Taz in the nlf championship. Beat LI Express, Laxachusetts Black. Etc etc. so to be fair, until primetime and express can do that, I’m not stretching to say Eclipse 2024 is the better of the 3 squads. Express North looks to be making great strides this year so to be fair. Eclipse. Express North and then primetime.

no one cares. and I did see WP beat of Eclipse badly. SO it depends on how many kids they can pull for the 2023 squad on how well they play. Just an observation

Okay. So what LI 2024 squads are on the verge? A squad that can compete but could be taken over the top by a couple ballers. Excellent coaching. No parent coaches. Loyal parents. Does it exist?

Meh - there are a lot of teams that would fit that bill. For the same reasons that there are more A teams on LI at 2024 (and most other age groups, as well) than the three AA teams most discussed here. A lot of these A teams have a strong top 10 - it's the lack of depth that keeps most of them from competing with the A teams. Add a couple more legit horses and that depth gap starts to go away quickly.

I would rather have my son help build a team. I think that it might be more fun for him. Where would you put your money other than the top 3?

It all makes no sense. Eclipse gets beat bad by Express in the beg. of the spring then out of no where gets beat bad by eclipse then Eclipse beats Taz. We all say "what the [lacrosse] they brought in 2023's!!!" and I agree. Then Express plays Taz to within 1 goal and "they brought in 2023's" and again i agree. and again we all know that the top teams are loaded with kids born 2005. Are we not all sick of the cheating? this is youth sports??? Comn people do something! someone make some rules! its ridiculous.

If your son is not one of the top 10 players (especially Express!) on one of the AA teams, then, your son is better off being in the top 10 of one of the A teams, of which there are many.

I recently watched a Taz game where there were 8 dads in the coaching box barking out orders like it was a town team. It was a hot mess. I have heard stories about how these dads will run off new talent to protect the current kids' playing time. I would much rather play for an up and coming team that has professional coaches that have a real interest in developing all the kids (not just their own).

S2S is on the up and up. No parent coach, coach is at practice-he’s already promised practice in spring and he’s a varsity coach. I haven’t met/don’t know every parent but kids are at practices so I’d call that loyal. Looking forward to the spring/summer!

On second thought, I re-read your post and frankly should apologize. You are a prospective Eclipse player parent, correct?
If that is the case, Eclipse would be an excellent program for your son.

Furthermore, your keen insights and copious opinions would not only be welcomed by the current Eclipse parents, but I am certain they will be well received by the Eclipse coaching staff.
I wish you well in getting your son on the 2024 Eclipse squad.

First off, 8 coaches in "the box" or even on the players sidelines would be illegal, secondly, how would you know any of them were dads ,and lastly, don't be so bitter, get some off season training and try out again next season

Meh - there are a lot of teams that would fit that bill. For the same reasons that there are more A teams on LI at 2024 (and most other age groups, as well) than the three AA teams most discussed here. A lot of these A teams have a strong top 10 - it's the lack of depth that keeps most of them from competing with the A teams. Add a couple more legit horses and that depth gap starts to go away quickly.

I would rather have my son help build a team. I think that it might be more fun for him. Where would you put your money other than the top 3?

If your son is not one of the top 10 players (especially Express!) on one of the AA teams, then, your son is better off being in the top 10 of one of the A teams, of which there are many.

My son is on age and real good player. However, he will not make the AA teams as the majority of the kids that make those teams are older, and take his spot. So Yes, he plays and is one of the better players on his 'A team'. Funny, how I see many of the AA lax team players on the football fields. the majority having to play on their age in the 12yr old division. So I look at those AA teams that are so highly spoken about as 2023 teams because in reality.....They are.

What is the cutoff in Long Island? Where I live it's Oct. 1. There are lots of 12 year old kids in the 2024 class.

Long Island is not it's own determinant of grade cutoff - all of NYS is Dec 1st! That means that, today, there should be zero 12 year olds in 6th grade UNLESS they started school a year late and/or they were already left/held back a grade after starting.

December is the school cutoffs

Seems to me that NY should change that date to be in sync with the rest of the country.

Then the boys that played football and soccer in the fall in the u12 age group because they were born in 2005. should also play in the 2023 lax category.If a contact sport such as football and even more so with that of a non contact sport such as soccer see the importance in recognizing age and not grade, then so should the contact with a stick YOUTH sport of lacrosse.

You are opining on this from an athletic standpoint when athletics have zero bearing on NY's (or any other state's) decision for academic cutoff dates!

We are talking about 6th grade lacrosse. It was a joke. Go back to your dictionary.

you are so full of crap. If your kid is good enough for an AA team like WP, TAZ, EXPRESS ETC. he would make it. Those teams Are all on age , they even have 2025 kids on them . Go cry and lie somewhere else . What you may have to come to terms with is that your kid is not as good as you think. Just a thought!,

I have to agree with that but not tone of the comment. The guy was just expressing some frustration. Just remember that comment when your kid gets cut and you are talking trash about your current club. I love Lacrosse parents. Enjoy your ride. We will stay off that train until it counts.

Its ok to get cut or not make the club.
its called Life.
If my son or Daughter is not good enough to make the team so be it. That's life. Its a life lesson they must learn to deal with . There are plenty of let downs kids have to learn to deal with in life. You can not teach that lesson, unless you as a parent can deal with it yourself. Not everyone can get a trophy, or the job, or the raise ETC. Excuses get you no where.

Amen to that.

What is truly laughable is that now we have morons bloviating about how Eclipse and Express North would “destroy” other Westchester/Fairfield teams.

Hate to break it to you. No one cares.
Kinda like arguing that you have the best winery in Detroit.

Long Island teams are our models for the time being.
Adapt and progress. Recognize their excellence and emulate it.

The team you are bashing today, could be the team your son is on next year.

Finally someone being realistic and honest. It is a shame that the majority of parents on this site cant share insight and information without getting nasty.
The sky is the limit with lacrosse given its tremendous growth. The only problem I see is psycho parents ruining it for the kids.

Yes I totally agree. Parents . Lacrosse scholarships are not easy to come by, no full rides, Worry more about their education . Any sport should be secondary to school. They are just 11-and 12 year old boys, let them have fun now and worry all about that when they get older. Time fly's , ENJOY IT!!!

I understand life lessons for kids. I am Not full of crap!!! Go peddle your lies to your kid on why most of his friends in his class are a year younger then him.This is a youth sport. And the only lax KIDS getting cheated are the ones on age.Older kids should not dictate the team my kid plays for. Now there are definitely on age boys on the AA teams but they are a minority.

seriously. Before you peddle your crap get the facts . been like this for years. cry baby.. couple of months wont make a difference. Just make sure he gets good training and has fun. It all evens out in the end. They are in sixth grade how is your son being cheated. That he does not win a Tee shirt, or the fact that he plays against boys a couple of months older then him will make him a better player? if a kid is truly playing down a year, than he is the one being cheated in the end. Do not see where your child is getting cheated. I was always the youngest in my grade and played never complained about it, I am better for it. there are plenty of Lax teams out there. Find one for your son and stop blaming everything around you .

I think that there are enough teams in Long Island to separate them by birth month. That would be fair. Oh wait. What about the kids born at the end of the month. That's not fair.

Good thing EVERY.OTHER.SPORT already figured it out. But lax is different . . . or something!

How many 2005 boys are on your team? My sons CYO basketball team is grade based 6th. 10 kids chosen for an "A" team and 10 for "B" team.......

"A" team has 6 2005 babies.... "B" team has ZERO.

Um 60% !!! we have 7 05s on our CYO team. I actually think that % would be higher if you polled the AA lax teams.

Really ... LAME

Does anyone have any thoughts on Shore 2 Shore. I have heard good things but know very little about the club. Any info would be awesome.

they are a new team, kind of early to comment on S2S.

please don't go to much by what people say on this site. Rarely will you find people take the time to say something positive, but if it is negative then it flows like a waterfall.

email the director or find a parent who has a child on the team and speak to them.

Express is a good Team, better than last year. No Doubt.. Will beat WP , Wp weaker this year!!

Anyone see the new outlaws email? What a class act! lol. Can't believe people tryout there. They are already trying to give your sons spots up for new players and fall just ended.

They have been taking players pro-rated for years. My son is on the team. Don't worry, the players they get are terrible after tryouts, and it's only to feed PB's pocket.

I do agree I watched that Express team play Taz tuff in fall ball. I thought Exp had better individual play but Taz has that team concept down to a science.I feel Express will beat both Taz and pack at least one time in the spring. But did you see some of the Express kids?Comn there are some older boys on that squad!!Now I know there are quite a bit of hold backs on Taz but Most of the express kids have to be double holdbacks. If they are lucky, there are only 3-4 kids tops, on that team born in 2006.

Just BC they have some big kids doesn’t mean they are holdbacks. Igloo has the biggest kid in the age group and he is on age. Taz added a huge middie who is on age.

For you [ChillLaxin] dads just because a kid is big doesn’t mean they are older. Eat you wheaties.

Dec 1st is the NY cutoff for any grade, so anyone born before 12/1/2005 playing 2024 is a holdback/reclass/whatever you want to call it . . .

9/1/05 of before is the US Lax guidelines...2024

Dec 1st is the NY cutoff for any grade, so anyone born before 12/1/2005 playing 2024 is a holdback/reclass/whatever you want to call it . . .

Dec 1 is the cut off for Public Schools only.

A. Admission to School – General Policies and Procedures

There are too many that have done this before when their kids where very young. Most summer birthdays. Has USA LAX grandfathered through 2027? Isnt that the start of 100% age based??

So now we have a new classification of Holdback... Silly lax folks...... Now a"lax holdback" is anything before Sept. 1. Go tickle yourself.

What a joke. Whatever you parents wanna call it is fine by me.. The math doesn't lie and everyone knows.. Not getting over on ANYONE....

Let me ask you a question. Your child is in preK or nursery and a late summer birthday, and you get posed the question. Do you want your child to be the youngest in the class or the oldest? ALL research points to be the older. For many different reasons...the last of which is freaking grade school travel lacrosse.
So now you are here. What do you do? Play with kids in your grade, and are your good buddies? Or go to a brand new grade and play with kids that you dont know. Cant carpool. Etc etc etc.

This being said, my son is not a difference maker. He loves playing with his buddies. And wants to go to practice every day. And yes, he is on one of the "top 5" teams.

[/quote ]There is nothing wrong with that at all. how about this .... your child is born 11/25 or 11/26 , 11/27 2005 etc. is 1 month and a couple of days older then a child born jan .1. 2006 does that 1 month make a huge difference? Does it make the 2005 kid so much better? Now a child born January 1 2006 and a child born 11/30 2006 is a 10 month difference same year Does that make a huge difference? If you complain about a hold back than they way you are looking at things is wrong. Otherwise we should make teams based on 3 month intervals. get the point. If your kid is a good Athlete he will compete just fine. and in 2 years will make absolutely no difference. So stop all the complaining. it will all work out in the end

I'll answer that with a question: What does your child do with EVERY OTHER SPORT??

the basis of my argument is theat everyone claims holdbacks have a huge advantage . I Am simply saying that months do not make much of a difference. People claim the numbers don’t lie ; where are these numbers. Fact is all kids grow at different paces, there are plenty of kids that are younger that play above kids that are older: Bottom line , a kid that is held back a grade does not make him a great athlete or lacrosse player. Plenty of holdbacks that are not that good : plenty of younger boys that are great. Just an excuse and something to complain about.

Point taken but when does 11/25 become 10/25 then 9/25 then 8/25. You need some kind of a cut off. At the same time Im pretty sure the NCAA isnt going to listen to freshman complain about playing against seniors so if college lax is "your" goal what does it matter?

Happy holidays!

There are plenty of studies that speak to the inherent differences in ability of prepubescent equal aged athletes, and the amplification of those differences when you begin to mix ages, especially between prepubescent and pubescent ages, so the science is clearly in conflict with your assessment on "difference". . . and why every other major sport has already gone age-based! This latter point cannot be emphasized enough - this entire topic has been thoroughly vetted already by all of these other sports. Why do people think lacrosse is somehow is different and that an entirely different and contradictory mindset is applicable?! It's the absolute dumbest thought process ever! There is zero negative consequences to going age-based for pre-HS ages, while there are legion of reasons why a grade-based system is flawed. It's not even close to being a debatable topics ON THE MERITTS!

Wrong!! In most cases it is not just a couple of months. most cases its over 1yr. and then it snowballs into double hold backs and reclassification's.... What parents are asking for is just some kind of age enforced cuttoff. I do not know one parent who has not come away from at least one most times every tournament and say wow did you see some of those boys??? They were older!!!

You think it's bad now, wait for next year and the year after for the 2024s! My 2021 son played in a tourney in DE 2 seasons ago where every starter on the opposing team was at or close to 6' tall, and with a G whose head was above the crossbar . . . for what was then a "7th Grade" Team! Besides the size, a majority of them had already reached the point where they were shaving (or not shaving, which is why we all could tell!), so it was painfully obvious that none of these boys were "on-age" 7th graders. Pretty much the same thing played out with most of the rest of my son's team's opponents for the rest of the weekend - all teams from MD and PA.

People claim the numbers don’t lie ; where are these numbers. Fact is all kids grow at different paces, there are plenty of kids that are younger that play above kids that are older: Bottom line , a kid that is held back a grade does not make him a great athlete or lacrosse player. Plenty of holdbacks that are not that good : plenty of younger boys that are great. Just an excuse and something to complain about.

Wrong!! In most cases it is not just a couple of months. most cases its over 1yr. and then it snowballs into double hold backs and reclassification's.... What parents are asking for is just some kind of age enforced cuttoff. I do not know one parent who has not come away from at least one most times every tournament and say wow did you see some of those boys??? They were older!!![/quote]

You think it's bad now, wait for next year and the year after for the 2024s! My 2021 son played in a tourney in DE 2 seasons ago where every starter on the opposing team was at or close to 6' tall, and with a G whose head was above the crossbar . . . for what was then a "7th Grade" Team! Besides the size, a majority of them had already reached the point where they were shaving (or not shaving, which is why we all could tell!), so it was painfully obvious that none of these boys were "on-age" 7th graders. Pretty much the same thing played out with most of the rest of my son's team's opponents for the rest of the weekend - all teams from MD and PA.[/quote] you are talking about , kids playing down when they are clearly older. buy mor than a year. Big difference. 8th grader vs a 6th grader much different. that should not be tolerated.
[/quote]

"you are talking about , kids playing down when they are clearly older. buy mor than a year. Big difference." That is the whole basis of this holdback/reclass debate - boys playing down. That is what a holdback is! Yes, a two year holdback/reclass is the worst scenario, but it's part of the overall problem of holdbacks in general - how is that a "Big Difference"??

Let me ask you a question. Your child is in preK or nursery and a late summer birthday, and you get posed the question. Do you want your child to be the youngest in the class or the oldest? ALL research points to be the older. For many different reasons...the last of which is freaking grade school travel lacrosse.
So now you are here. What do you do? Play with kids in your grade, and are your good buddies? Or go to a brand new grade and play with kids that you dont know. Cant carpool. Etc etc etc.

This being said, my son is not a difference maker. He loves playing with his buddies. And wants to go to practice every day. And yes, he is on one of the "top 5" teams.
[/quote ]There is nothing wrong with that at all. how about this .... your child is born 11/25 or 11/26 , 11/27 2005 etc. is 1 month and a couple of days older then a child born jan .1. 2006 does that 1 month make a huge difference? Does it make the 2005 kid so much better? Now a child born January 1 2006 and a child born 11/30 2006 is a 10 month difference same year Does that make a huge difference? If you complain about a hold back than they way you are looking at things is wrong. Otherwise we should make teams based on 3 month intervals. get the point. If your kid is a good Athlete he will compete just fine. and in 2 years will make absolutely no difference. So stop all the complaining. it will all work out in the end

So, the basis of your counterargument is because it is unreasonable/unrealistic to do 3 month interval levels, then don't do anything more reasonable to improve the system. Got it!

So it’s ok to cheat, as long as you only cheat a little bit

Not even sure what to make of the phrase “double holdback”. My son was held back in kindergarten (i assure you it was not for lacrosse). If he were to become a “double holdback” and repeat another year, he’d be ineligible to play in the Washington or Baltimore private school leagues by his senior year (which are supposedly the king of the holdbacks). Not sure what the LI rules are. Not saying it’s not an advantage, by the way, but it is limited. Also when you hit puberty matters, so does natural size and speed, and AA teams tend to attract those types which maybe amplifies the difference for parents of smaller kids or late blooming kids.

The whole "double holdback" argument is an urban-myth. My kids have been playing lacrosse for well over a decade now, and I have yet to encounter a double holdback. Yes, it is true that the age cutoff for most of the country outside the LI area is 9/1. And yes, it is true that most of the top, most prestigious independent schools strongly encourage boys with summer birthdays (and by summer, I really mean July or August) to do pre-K or kindergarten x2. Trust me, it had nothing to do with lacrosse. (BTW, if you read Outlier, and you were going the private school route, you would have held back your son too.) When your son plays grade-based lacrosse, it is not cheating to play with his grade. What young boy wouldn't want to play with his friends from school, instead of a bunch of strangers from the grade above?

Forget about the school aspect of it - it has everything to do with club.

So stupid . Been like this for years . Parents are the biggest problem with sports today. Holdbacks are not the reason your kid is not performing.

Give it two years when puberty hits and let's see if you feel the same way. Huge differences between a younger 13 year old and a 14/15 year old... I have seen it firsthand with the 2020's and 2021's. It's a real game changer and not a level playing field at that age.

"Parents are the biggest problem with sports today. " Yup - they're the ones deciding to have their kids holdback.

That's where you are wrong. Just because your kid is small, doesn't mean that everyone else in this world is a cheater. If you were to examine all the 2024 club lacrosse rosters in the country, 95% of them don't have any boys older than July 2005. And for 100% of those boys with July or August 2005 birthdays, it was a school-related decision that was made when the kid was 4. Even if your kid was born late 2006, they should be able to hang with kids born mid-2005. If not, drop down to a B team, and give it a rest. Because once your kid gets to high school, he is going to have to play grade-based anyway.

" Because once your kid gets to high school, he is going to have to play grade-based anyway." = most overused and painfully ignorant statement on this topic on BOTC.

Really? Not when it is age based. Not even close.... Maryland has to hod them back so they can compete with LI boys that are younger than them. Sad, but true,

WSYL Results
2015 - 91 Smash - Long Island
2016 - Legacy - Long Island
2017 - LI Express - Long Island

Facts don't lie. Sorry folks.

Sorry but unfortunately colleges coaches love the holdbacks. Just look at any of the rosters. The last 3 kids who committed to ND as 2019s are all doing a PG year. Two of the kids were already holdbacks. They will be 20 year old freshman

What Rules? That's the problem! there are NO rules that are enforced. I do not feel its crying when an educated ethical parent just wants some rules put in place . I don't care what the age date requirement there is. Just as long as it is followed.

The liability will be couched in the use of a grade-base system - by virtue of using grades, USL, along with all of the other more direct parties, will have created an inherently unsafe and/or dangerous situation whereby players of disparate ages are playing against each other in a full contact sport. Further, despite USL age guidelines, there is no attempt to govern these guidelines, and any players who are more than one year above age for their grade are already in violation of the guidelines. And from practical application, no one (!) at any level attempts to validate even players' grade levels - not teams, not tournaments, not the USL. There are players playing down 2 years from their 'normal on-age' level based upon the proclamation that they "intend to" do a PG year![/quote]

As to liability issues, assumption of risk is part of the analysis. At present, parents are putting their kids on the field while having no idea how old (or young) their opponents are. So it would be hard to defend these claims with an assumption of the risk defense. There is never any disclosure as to the age of the opponents or those participating in an event. Moreover, as has already been mentioned, no one in travel lacrosse - not clubs, not tournaments - requests verification of grade or age. This appears to be negligent in and of itself. No one exchanges rosters. There are no game sheets. Youth lacrosse tournaments are completely lawless and quite seriously unlike any other youth sporting event I have ever known.

Moreover, the toxic environments on sidelines negatively affects parent's prospective of the legitimacy and transparency of the competition. Everyone just assumes that a big, fast and skilled kid must be years older, when sometimes he really isn't.

Something is wrong with a sport when teams are supposed to be at the same level, grade-wise, but almost to a man one team is bigger than the other. This NEVER happens in age based sports. You can travel up and down the east coast with your kid playing soccer, hockey and baseball, and teams from every state will have basically the same average size as every other team. Some teams will have some freakishly big kids, but its balanced out by the small kids on the team. And everyone is fine with the freakishly big kid because they know his birth certificate is on file with the national (or state) organization, his name is on the roster submitted to same, and it would be easy to determine if cheating were involved.

Youth sports certainly has a win-at-all-costs side to it, but you would be surprised at how little cheating really occurs when everyone has confidence that the rules are being followed by everyone and that there are controls in place making it likely that cheaters will be caught. Stated differently, coaches and parents that cheat in youth sports in issues of eligibility really don't want to do it. They just think they have to in order to balance out cheating done by others. Left confident that no one else cheats, coaches and parents rarely do.

Funny that you losers are crying about holdbacks for 6th graders.

Madlax 2024 has ZERO holdbacks, and we pummel you guys every time. Love the whining. Keep it up.

First of all here's my disclaimer, I have a kid born middle of school year so I have no particular interest in dispelling the holdback phenomenon that is sweeping the lax community. To be realistic once your kid hits 7th grade he will forever be playing against kids who are older, bigger, .stronger and probably faster than he is. And I don't think it's much of a stretch to state by time a kid turns 17-18 he's already reached his max growth and physical potential. So at that point does it really matter as to when his exact birthday is. If your kid is good he will be successful...

We all recognize that when 17&18 yrs of age come's around what goes on. We all recognize that school sports are grade driven. But This is a Youth sport! Believe me there are No scholarships given out at these tournaments(just tee shirts) Youth sports need to have enforced age requirements. I don't even care what dob date is chosen. Just as long as all clubs and tournaments are held accountable to verify that dob date, and give a fair and equal playing field for everyone.Please don't hand me the life lessons [ChillLaxin] of playing with older kids and getting used to losing because it is a part of life. That is the worst argument that can be made. (hey Johnny you are older please go teach that younger boy a life lesson by beating or taking his spot.He will thank you when he is your age)
Why is age based so hard agree and comply with? Any parent opposed to having age rules put in place must have an agenda.

Madlax kid is pretty weak for a 2022

Jealousy.

Jealousy? No; it is a real issue. Why doesn’t Madlax compete in WSYL?

Simple. Some people/families dont feel like spending 5k on a tournament. Travelling all over the place. When there is good competition down the street. Waste. Of. Time. And. $$$$...

This is a joke and everyone knows it. These travel teams are a business and any owner that wouldn't want his business to be promoted on the biggest stage is a terrible businessman, or hiding something. 9d1 Leeg-acy and Express have all benefited by taking part and winning the WSYL. Please stop telling people that an entire program doesn't go to the WSYL because it is a "money maker".

As predicted, [ChillLaxin] LI dads making up lies about holdbacks when they have no idea what they're talking about (let alone proof). Your insecurities translate to your sons' performances on the field.

That's why Madlax is still the best.

Common knowledge that all competitive MD teams have a lot of holdbacks, so stop with the [ChillLaxin]. It’s the culture in MD (and “Capital”). Win by loading up on holdbacks. No team can win anything without their core players. The MD/VA parents are correct. It would be a total waste of money for them to go and be smacked around like rag dolls without their holdbacks. The funny thing is, if they did go with all of their holdbacks, an LI on age Team would still win. Yes... on age. A foreign concept to some.

Madlax is a top 5 team. No better. No worse. Take just one of their many holdbacks off their team, and most people reading this have never heard of Madlax. Anybody other than a Madlax parent want to dispute that?

Not sure what the LI rules are. Not saying it’s not an advantage, by the way, but it is limited. Also when you hit puberty matters, so does natural size and speed, and AA teams tend to attract those types which maybe amplifies the difference for parents of smaller kids or late blooming kids.

Forget about the school aspect of it - it has everything to do with club.

That's where you are wrong. Just because your kid is small, doesn't mean that everyone else in this world is a cheater. If you were to examine all the 2024 club lacrosse rosters in the country, 95% of them don't have any boys older than July 2005. And for 100% of those boys with July or August 2005 birthdays, it was a school-related decision that was made when the kid was 4. Even if your kid was born late 2006, they should be able to hang with kids born mid-2005. If not, drop down to a B team, and give it a rest. Because once your kid gets to high school, he is going to have to play grade-based anyway.

Most HS players don't get significant playing time, on good teams, until their Junior year, after they catch up growth-wise. Same for football. So, it's the same issue even in HS.

Any teams going to FL for the [ChillLaxin]'s championship over the Holiday break?

how many travel clubs can 1 boy play on? Is it possible to be on multiple travel teams? Why do clubs allow this?

Just need to be on one good one. More than one is overkill. College coaches (i know its early but going through with my older son now) look for loyalty when they are recruiting. They ask how many years you have played for your club, and which director they should talk to.

Where is this limited and why should it be?! And why would a club not take a player's money?!

if a child plays for more then one team, who cares. Their choice. If they want to pay the money let them. No debate on this subject . If a club decides to make a big deal about it, that's their choice. If there is no conflict why make it a big deal.

All this [ChillLaxin] about the best of 2024. Elite 8 was the premier tournament of the season. Don't shake your head, yes it was.. Best 8 teams were invited...and who stood on top of the mountain at the end of the weekend????

Your lies are so very lame. First, club directors and coaches pick tourneys, not parents. So your lame excuse is dispelled right there. It's not a parents decision. But there is more. Much more.

So you are saying the Madlax club directors/owners have no interest in putting what you claim to be the best team at this age, on national TV, with all of the free publicity that goes along with that, and to be proclaimed the indisputable best U13 team, anywhere?

Based on your repeated claims, a WSYL championship would be a forgone conclusion. Easy pickings, right? Assuming your claims are accurate, this is a no-brainer for your directors. It would be a total vindication of the Madlax coaching, training and ideologies for the organization, as a whole. A possible once in a life time opportunity, to build the Madlax brand.

The national visibility would surely create an abundance of credibility for the organization, with the net result being significant increased revenue, over the long term. All of this upside, with no downside, since the tourney costs the club no more than any other tourney.

You are asking us to believe all of this?? REALLY?? You're absolutely sure it has nothing to do with all of your age-ineligible hold backs, correct??

They’ll be just fine with their coaching. Zummo is good.

Keanan is not coaching TAZ ? No way he is a good Coach. That can't be true.

Zummo will take this team to another level. It’s already started. Watch out come spring.

When my son's team played Taz, there were 6-7 dads/coaches looming behind bench. That is never a good sign. Too many cooks. Creates a toxic environment for kids. I would avoid at all costs. Also they run a girls' offense with goal line extended feeder and cutters. Never going to cut it at next level. When the boys did try to dodge or create their own offense, they backed it like they were scared. No real athletes.

As an impartial outsider that has seen them all play, Express has already caught Taz and WP. Will pass them by June.

Another jealous hater of the AA teams. So your sons team got crushed yet again by Taz. Seriously doubt that’s ever going to change.

No athletes, bad coaching, horrible environment on Taz. What was the score of you sons game? I'm guessing they lost which would be odd bc u just explained that the team has nothing. My sons team has lost every single time he played them. Can't believe he lost to such a horrible team 10+ times

If Zummo can conquer the daddy ball coaching I'd be surprised ,being all the coaches are also board members!!!LOL
The right move to make the team and program better would be to bring in his own coaching staff and send the daddy's to 2025 to go fix that team.
Zummo would also have to show up more often than not and not just be a part time stand in.
I believe he is still coaching another age group as well

One to many O's in cooks ...

The jealousy around taz is insane. They are widely considered one of the best teams in the nation. Get a new obsesssion. It’s actually sad. Crawl back in you hole.

Everyone Hates TAZ.. End of story.

Madlax doesn't hate Taz. We just beat team.

I have seen this movie before, Taz will never get better with the cancer cells still on the sideline, you can change the head but the cancer is still in the body. Coach Z will just be medication but the cure will never come until the cancer is cut out unless he moonlights as a Oncologists. (a dad is a Dr. on the team... LOL, joke, just not Coach Z) I guess everyone will just wait and see who stays, who goes and who has just had enough of the nonsense..... The lies and the nonsense the daddy coaches say and tell the team hopefully will stop with Coach Z or that team will never be the same come spring time. That's a FACT!!

What happened to Keenan? Why is Zummo coaching Taz?

1. Despite your deepest wish, we have ZERO holdbacks on our team. We are talking about 6th graders.

2. This is the same stupid trick the [ChillLaxin]'s Tournament tried scamming people with. Make families spend a ton of money to fly to another state only to beat up on terrible teams.

3. No, none of us have any desire to spend $1,500 per family to chase a meaningless trophy when we have great competition within a 30 min drive

When LI's best team is a B team, that tells you how much Madlax 2024 dominates your kids. LOL. Keep making up lies.

You are asking us to believe all of this?? REALLY?? You're absolutely sure it has nothing to do with all of your age-ineligible hold backs, correct??

1. Despite your deepest wish, we have ZERO holdbacks on our team. We are talking about 6th graders.

2. This is the same stupid trick the [ChillLaxin]'s Tournament tried scamming people with. Make families spend a ton of money to fly to another state only to beat up on terrible teams.

3. No, none of us have any desire to spend $1,500 per family to chase a meaningless trophy when we have great competition within a 30 min drive

When LI's best team is a B team, that tells you how much Madlax 2024 dominates your kids. LOL. Keep making up lies.

Your actions, or in this case lack of action, speak MUCH louder than your words.

When my son's team played Taz, there were 6-7 dads/coaches looming behind bench. That is never a good sign. Too many cooks. Creates a toxic environment for kids. I would avoid at all costs. Also they run a girls' offense with goal line extended feeder and cutters. Never going to cut it at next level. When the boys did try to dodge or create their own offense, they backed it like they were scared. No real athletes.

No athletes, bad coaching, horrible environment on Taz. What was the score of you sons game? I'm guessing they lost which would be odd bc u just explained that the team has nothing. My sons team has lost every single time he played them. Can't believe he lost to such a horrible team 10+ times

My son plays for Madlax. Madlax won in OT. You should have seen all those dads lose it.

The dads lost it.......... because of the loss "yes" but its HOW the lose occurred, Coaching...... end of story. Thats why!! Madlax "big boy" wins more than Taz big boy ALL THE TIME!!! enough said.. MADLAX rules Taz.

It is all about match-ups. This is why I believe we will see Express pass Taz, and teams like Madlax continue to beat Taz. Taz is about undersized attackmen that can't create their own offense. They rely on a FOGO to get them the ball. Taz's FOGO doesn't match up well with bigger mids. And when he gets trapped on D, Taz has real problems. Taz has only one what I would consider true two-way mid. But if you look at Express, they are complete package. They have more real athletes. Maybe their stick skills are a little raw, but this is because they haven't been playing since they were two yrs. old. When those boys find their game, you will see them pass the smaller, lesser athletes that got a head start. Plus Express puts much more emphasis on team defense. They work as a unit with two skilled goalies, and as the gel as a team you will see that defense wins championships. But the biggest thing going for Express is that they are run like a real club that is constantly looking for the best players, and trading up with an eye towards the future. Taz is run like a town team stuck in the past. The Taz dads that run the program, and loom around the bench, are only interested in their own son's playing time. They don't want new, better kids to join the team for fear that it will cut into their own kid's playing time. And they find a way to run them off.

Not Express parent but i am close enough to it and watched what happened to that team. They have enough older fire power to beat both taz and pack this year.

Sure you're not. My man I have a friend whose son is on the team, they are not a "fire power" team. Lose by 7 goals last time and all of a sudden in 9 months they are a threat? What do you think the WP has been sitting around the last 9 months not getting better? Beat em and talk, other than that take your youth lax research and beat it. "Close enough to it" lol to funny

keep adding 2023 kids to the 2024 roster,eventually you'll get that superbowl win

WP is much weaker this season. Seen them play in the fall, Express Def beats them !!!

So you watched them play in the 2023 Brackets? Still the team everyone wants to beat consistently, but just cant seem to do it. Keep those fingers crossed pal, maybe, just maybe one day. Wait... didn't you drop all 4 Fall games to Taz this fall?

Let be the pack daddy who talks smack about others losing to Taz. Last I checked you have one win in last 10.

Pardon me, Mr VA Bottom Feeder. You are obviously cognitively impaired, so I'm going to try to simplify this for you.

First, club directors and coaches pick tourneys, not parents. Stop talking like you have any affect on that. You don't.

So your argument is that the Madlax organization has absolutely no interest in the following:

* Potential once in a life time opportunity to build the Madlax brand via National TV exposure, at no cost to Madlax.

* Which would serve to build a stronger, better Madlax organization... with increased revenues and profit for years to come.

* All of these extraordinary benefits to Madlax, at no cost to Madlax.

Regarding your reference to the DicksTourney... this ain't Florida... this is national TV, as professional as it get's.

Playing terrible teams?? What terrible teams? Madlax would be playing the toughest competition out there, including the ones that make you cry like a baby, after every loss (which for one of those teams is 79% of the time, to date), and maybe a couple of the B teams that beat you up pretty good this past Fall.

And, the $1,500.00 reference?? Based on your parents own admission, you are very well-to-do folks! Doubt the Madlax club is too worried about you parents, especially when the upside for them is so VERY dramatic.

Wow! Not one bit of your argument has any credibility at all.

So, all of this begs the question... why is Madlax not going to WSYL? There isn't a single person on BOTC that doesn't know what the hold back situation is in the mid-Atlantic. And every time we LI teams go down there, all of the parents tell us that Madlax has more hold backs than any other mid-Atlantic team.

Or, maybe all of that well known, well documented information is all incorrect, and there are no hold backs in the mid-Atlantic, at all.... hmmm...

Maybe Madlax is just plain petrified to play on the biggest stage in youth lacrosse, for fear of losing. Gotta admit, that's a good one. You should just go with that one from now one. OK??

You’re delusional if you think that express will manhandle Taz and based on you post that is what you’re eluding.

There is no loyalty. Best man for the job. WP on the other hand is different. for good or bad that team isn’t almost the same since 2nd grade. Time will tell but those are currently the 2 teams to compare to.

Context clues Einstein. Simple typo. WP is the same I wouldn't guess is what the poster said

Hey WP freak - you know who you are, and we do too. You regurgitate baseless so-called-facts as if they are gospel. Can you please explain how you got your 79% calculation? When you do that maybe we will start to take you seriously. Actually, that is not true either.

Honestly , who cares. All the teams are good. lets leave it at that and move on. Half the comments made about all these teams are not even people from the team. Just a jerk stirring the pot.

79%? Didn't see any post with that.

Yes. I know who I am. Thxu for sharing that wisdom. If by gospel you mean truth, then yes, consider my word as gospel. Since you picked out the 79% fact, then you obviously read the entire post, about how your excuses are not only lame, but completely illogical. Assuming that you are a person of average intelligence, I would expect a fact based logical rebuttle, if you have one. If you are able to convey a logical arguement in support of your position, I will itemize all of your wins and losses that make up your measley 21% win rate. Right now, your team is looking like a bunch of hold backs to anyone with more than a single brain cell. Don’t worry. I’m not holding my breath.

Does all club organizations charged an extra tournament fee @ $125 per kid per tournament on top of there yearly tuition without discussing it with the team ??? New to club and seems like a money grab . Thanks

Taz owns WP plain and simple. One fluke win in 3 years. Who’s your Tazzie!?

Just adding a tournament price on top of your tuition wow when is this going to end at least talk to the team about it right. What happens if you can’t make that tournament and want to enjoy a summer weekend by the pool instead of a Lacrosse field . Well we know some parents rather be on the field screening!!

Only Taz, others have to pay for daddy coaches travel expenses and the kids that don't pay during the year. It all adds up! Yeah!

All teams have training and tournaments included. If there is more tournaments added or additional training , they will add another fee for that. You do not have to do everything, if you do not want to. My kid plays other sports, and we only do what we can. BTW, who is the Jealous parent that is always making negative comments about WP and TAZ. Grow up and get a life.

Sure you're not. My man I have a friend whose son is on the team, they are not a "fire power" team. Lose by 7 goals last time and all of a sudden in 9 months they are a threat?

Read the quote [ChillLaxin]. I do know the team. This year they revamped the team,I Don't know where some of the boys came from (OLDER) but They will beat wp and taz at some point in 2018.

When LI's best team is a B team, that tells you how much Madlax 2024 dominates your kids. LOL. Keep making up lies.

Pardon me, Mr VA Bottom Feeder. You are obviously cognitively impaired, so I'm going to try to simplify this for you.

First, club directors and coaches pick tourneys, not parents. Stop talking like you have any affect on that. You don't.

So your argument is that the Madlax organization has absolutely no interest in the following:

* Potential once in a life time opportunity to build the Madlax brand via National TV exposure, at no cost to Madlax.

* Which would serve to build a stronger, better Madlax organization... with increased revenues and profit for years to come.

* All of these extraordinary benefits to Madlax, at no cost to Madlax.

Regarding your reference to the DicksTourney... this ain't Florida... this is national TV, as professional as it get's.

Playing terrible teams?? What terrible teams? Madlax would be playing the toughest competition out there, including the ones that make you cry like a baby, after every loss (which for one of those teams is 79% of the time, to date), and maybe a couple of the B teams that beat you up pretty good this past Fall.

And, the $1,500.00 reference?? Based on your parents own admission, you are very well-to-do folks! Doubt the Madlax club is too worried about you parents, especially when the upside for them is so VERY dramatic.

Wow! Not one bit of your argument has any credibility at all.

So, all of this begs the question... why is Madlax not going to WSYL? There isn't a single person on BOTC that doesn't know what the hold back situation is in the mid-Atlantic. And every time we LI teams go down there, all of the parents tell us that Madlax has more hold backs than any other mid-Atlantic team.

Or, maybe all of that well known, well documented information is all incorrect, and there are no hold backs in the mid-Atlantic, at all.... hmmm...

Maybe Madlax is just plain petrified to play on the biggest stage in youth lacrosse, for fear of losing. Gotta admit, that's a good one. You should just go with that one from now one. OK??

God, you are an [ChillLaxin].

Yes, none of us wishes to pay an addition $2,000 or so for a meaningless tournament. The 1-2 good teams who will attend will be at the tournaments we'll be at this summer, so no need to buy a plane ticket and hotel room in CO. Madlax knows this which is why they have never attended this POS event.

Enjoy beating up on terrible teams for a worthless trophy. I guess that's what you need to do since you can't beat us.

Not Express parent but i am close enough to it and watched what happened to that team. They have enough older fire power to beat both taz and pack this year.

Sure you're not. My man I have a friend whose son is on the team, they are not a "fire power" team. Lose by 7 goals last time and all of a sudden in 9 months they are a threat? What do you think the WP has been sitting around the last 9 months not getting better? Beat em and talk, other than that take your youth lax research and beat it. "Close enough to it" lol to funny

Read the quote [ChillLaxin]. I do know the team. This year they revamped the team,I Don't know where some of the boys came from (OLDER) but They will beat wp and taz at some point in 2018.

Yes that can happen, they are Bigger , Stronger, and faster . WP going down. Its ok. you knew it would Happen eventually

Yeah the one tournament the fall!! OK!! Yippy!! MADLAX RULES!!! not a madly parent.. wink wink!

Bragging about stockpiling holdbacks. Hey, whatever it takes to win 11 year old lacrosse games, right? Keep cheating. You guys are the Madlax of LI. Congrats! Doesn't get any lower than that, folks. WP and Taz will continue to do what they do, without 2023 kids. Don't need to cheat to be the best.

Yes that can happen, they are Bigger , Stronger, and faster . WP going down. Its ok. you knew it would Happen eventually

The obsession continues to get... bigger, stronger, faster. What’s it like being completely consumed by a little kid Lacrosse Team for the past 5 years?? It’s eating you alive. You REALLY have NO life.

Its time for wp taz and angrylax to go back to your established romper room forum nobody other than your narcissistic selves cares about your teams and your lax conquests, and no, not a jealous parent as you will claim

Multiple posts on BOTC from Express parents bragging about all their new holdbacks. Not sure why people would brag about what amounts to cheating. Even Madlax is smarter than that. They lie about it. From here on out, your record is tainted. You win, it’s because you cheated. You lose, then that is REALY embarrassing, losing as cheaters. Bottom line: Express 2024 is now a bunch of cheaters. Congrats gentlemen. You must feel good about that.

Express 2024 will be at WSYL in Denver 2019. Funny they don't have 1 kid on that team that cant compete in that Tournament. ALL of the kids on Express 2024 are born after 9/1/05..i think the 3 older boys born in 2005 are all born in Nov 05 so in NYS public schools they are in the right grade...NYS suggests if born before 10/31/05 they should be in 7th grade. I just wish parents of 2024 grade would just enjoy the competitive lacrosse and stop all this non stop [ChillLaxin] on this page. Express may not have beaten any of the top team which i think are in NO order WP Taz and MadLAx but i enjoy watching 1 goal games and come this spring and summer i hope to watch more 1 goal games and OT games. Do you all relize our boys will only get better

Obviously a different Express parent than the ones who have been bragging about all of their hold backs. Which parents are to be believed?? The one that likes splitting hairs and justifying their holdbacks, down to the month?? Or the ones that are proud of their accomplishment, and want to yell it from the roof tops... we are cheaters!! I have a hard time believing that any parent knows when all of the birthdays are for several players on a team. I don’t believe that is published information, right parents? So I tend to believe the roof top crowd. So until we see you in Denver, i have to believe that Express is the Madlax of LI. Holdback heaven.

Do “you all realize” ALL “of our boys will only get better”?

You are forgetting one important thing. All the kids that have been a lot better than the Express kids right along, are also getting better. A lot better. Duh.

Madlax owns all of your kids. All of them.

Merry Christmas to all 2024 parents....

I am a parent on Express 2024. I sincerely hope we do not go to Denver. Waste of time. Waste of money. And my son plays...I can't imagine the 5-8 kids who wont touch the field. By next year hopefully they stop.

------------05 Babies have no edge on 06 babies.....The Sun and moon were "Weak."

Will someone out there commit to building a monster powerhouse team that will beat WP and TAZ. Daddy coaches need to move over and let unbiased ballers on the field.

Sure you're not. My man I have a friend whose son is on the team, they are not a "fire power" team. Lose by 7 goals last time and all of a sudden in 9 months they are a threat? What do you think the WP has been sitting around the last 9 months not getting better? Beat em and talk, other than that take your youth lax research and beat it. "Close enough to it" lol to funny

Read the quote [ChillLaxin]. I do know the team. This year they revamped the team,I Don't know where some of the boys came from (OLDER) but They will beat wp and taz at some point in 2018.

Yes that can happen, they are Bigger , Stronger, and faster . WP going down. Its ok. you knew it would Happen eventually

Hear this every season...yet it never happens. Oh well

You can try, but you would have to recruit all the WP and Taz boys.

I just wish parents of 2024 grade would just enjoy the competitive lacrosse and stop all this non stop [ChillLaxin] on this page. Express may not have beaten any of the top team which i think are in NO order WP Taz and MadLAx but i enjoy watching 1 goal games and come this spring and summer i hope to watch more 1 goal games and OT games. Do you all relize our boys will only get better

I am a parent on Express 2024. I sincerely hope we do not go to Denver. Waste of time. Waste of money. And my son plays...I can't imagine the 5-8 kids who wont touch the field. By next year hopefully they stop.

You really think Chan don’t want to go back and see himself gloating on TV every year!

The same Madlax liar. All post from this same guy. Interesting how no other Madlax parents makes the same claim. Not a single one, ever. In fact, this guy makes 99% of the Madlax posts.

Dude. Take a good look in the mirror. You really have to do something about your sorry life. Judging by the frequency of your posts, you dont even have a job. Kinda sad, in a way.

Completely typical scenario. A jealous parent that dreams of having his kid play for either Taz or WP, launches a verbal attack on both teams. He gets his responses, and then WP and Taz parents are are labeled narcistic, by this website and the jealous parents. Let’s get this straight right now! The problem is the jealous fanatics, that CONTINUALLY throw the first punch, not the ones that punch back in self defense.

Sure. You claim that Madlax won’t be at the WSYL next year. There’s only one reason why a team doesn’t go to the biggest event in youth lacrosse and that’s because they have no chance of winning it. Actually, in your case there are two reasons.

No Hold backs = No Wins.
No Hold backs = No team (need 10 players to field a team)

So, no point in going! Proof!

2 or 3 great teams and the rest awful. Have seen it every year. If they moved it to LI or Philly, it would be great.

WSYL eligibility requires all players must be born on or after 9/1/2004. Madlax does not have any kids born before 9/1/2004. All kids are 11 & 12. We're not going because parents decided we didnt want to go. That's it. End of story.

This guy has his facts screwed up. Again. The 9/1/04 date is for teams entering the tournament THIS YEAR (2018) not next year, when our boys will be playing. Next year the date will be on or after 9/1/05. So according to him, Madlax doesn’t have any players born before 9/1/04, a whole year before the eligibility date. That spells a ton of holdbacks to me! Thanks for the tip!!

Nice try. Same lone wolf Madlax dad. Still going with that whole lying gig. Not working here either. WSYL gets all of the top top teams and have since it's inception. Fact.

Unfortunately for Madlax, you guys probably wouldn't even make it through the qualifiers without your holdbacks, so it's very doubtful that you would even get to Denver. So, maybe you're right. Quit before you even start. Another great quality to teach your kids. Cheaters AND quitters.

My predictions for 2018: Madlax 2024 will own all of you guys again. More tears on LI!

Look at it on the bright side. You can watch the LI kids win It again, on TV, from Mile High.

It’ll be fun!

This guy is a pot stirrer. I was at the WSYL last year. A first class event from top to bottom. Amazing experience for all of the kids and parents. Best tournament, by far, to date. Competition was excellent. All of the top teams were represented. Looking forward to going back next year.

Is anyone else loving the ads across the top

Dukes Nationals is a PONZI Scheme. G is a crook, and the players are ball hogs. Won't be getting anymore of my money.

Wrong. Always 2-3 strong teams from the East Coast, and the rest is junk. Enjoy chasing that trophy, Dad. Hope it was worth $2,000.

Madlax 2024 will dominate 2018 just like they did 2017. You dads should get another leg tat - of a crying baby.

I agree with that

I am ok with boys playing down if born after the Sept 1st age requirement. But if you think that there are only 3 boys born in 2005 on that express team you are lying to yourself. check your # again more then 1/2 the team has 2005 DOB.

Question. Where do you get your information? I suppose that you requested the birthdates of all players on the three teams, and they mailed it to you, correct? You’re as mindless as the Madlax holdback parent. I can tell you that my son plays on one of those teams and they have no players born before Dec 05. According to multiple Express parents, they have a bunch of new holdbacks. But if you look at Taz and WP you’d be hard pressed to find any player that physically resembles a holdback. At least one of those teams doesn’t have any, which bodes well for them next year in Denver. So stop making false statements.

Seems like 2024 has its share of talented players. Soon enough these kids will be competing for their High Schools. Based on what we know now, where are these top guns coming from... what HS teams look to be competing for county and LI championships, in a few years? The traditional Nassau powerhouses of GC and Manhasset? In Suffolk, will it still be about perennial favorites SWR and WM?

Sad that dads say Madlax has omebacks yet can't cite one name or anything resembling proof.

Keep on lying.

To be clear, top teams from around the country, and the world, are represented at the WSYL each year. This tournament has as level a playing field as there is, in youth lacrosse. It eliminates many of the loop holes that plague other tournaments, which some teams have exploited to their advantage. The age restriction eliminates holdback players from being eligible, and the 100 mile radius rule, eliminates outside "ringers" from being brought in. While these rules result in a fairer competition, teams that have become dependent upon these loop holes, will be handicapped under the WSYL rule structure. Teams that are overly dependent upon these loop holes for their success may find the rules of the WSYL too restrictive, and chose not to participate, as a result.

. Rules should be like this for all tournaments.

.......... Eligibility Rules - United States Teams.......WSYL

All players must be born on or after 9/1/2004. Each player will be required to submit a copy of their birth certificate.
All players must compete with their team or program on a regular basis. Minimum requirements are that players must compete with their team/program for at least two tournaments (outside of a WSYL event), or in a seasonal league. These events do not need to precede the qualifier but must precede the Championship event. WSYL reserves the right to require proof of participation in these tournaments or leagues. Players cannot be added only to participate in the World Series.
All players must reside within 100 miles of the home field of their program. Players will be required to submit a report card, school identification card, or comparable proof of residency.
No player may compete, or be rostered, on more than one team during the tournament.
All teams must carry between 18-23 field players and a minimum of 2 goalies at all times. Both goalies do not have to physically participate in the Regional Qualifier, but both need to regularly play within your club or organization and will be held to the same roster eligibility standards as other players. Total roster size can not exceed 25 players.
The only permitted roster modification after submission of the final roster will be the replacement of an injured goalie with another goalie pending a written request and WSYL approval.
Copies of birth certificates, proof of residency (report card from '16/'17 academic year & valid parent Driver's License), verification of health insurance accepted in the United States, and waiver forms, are all due:
West/Central Regional Qualifier: January 13, 2017
North/East/South Regional Qualifier: March 3, 2017
Any team in violation of the above roster rules will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player has participated, forfeit any opportunity to advance to the playoffs and forfeit any accolades or titles received by the team.
Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to advance to the playoffs.

Lies. Every year, there are 1-3 teams that dominate and pummel the rest. If the tournament was in Baltimore, Philly or LI, then it would have a chance of being a real tournament. The location and cost involved precludes almost all of the best clubs. The only top clubs to go there are the ones chasing a meaningless youth trophy.

Happy New Year. Madlax owns your son's team.

I rather take my family on a vacation somewhere in the Caribbean than a lacrosse tournament spending that much money playing other LI teams . JMO

Thank you for that stimulating commentary, Madlax holdback dad.

All players must be born on or after 9/1/2004. Each player will be required to submit a copy of their birth certificate.
All players must compete with their team or program on a regular basis. Minimum requirements are that players must compete with their team/program for at least two tournaments (outside of a WSYL event), or in a seasonal league. These events do not need to precede the qualifier but must precede the Championship event. WSYL reserves the right to require proof of participation in these tournaments or leagues. Players cannot be added only to participate in the World Series.
All players must reside within 100 miles of the home field of their program. Players will be required to submit a report card, school identification card, or comparable proof of residency.
No player may compete, or be rostered, on more than one team during the tournament.
All teams must carry between 18-23 field players and a minimum of 2 goalies at all times. Both goalies do not have to physically participate in the Regional Qualifier, but both need to regularly play within your club or organization and will be held to the same roster eligibility standards as other players. Total roster size can not exceed 25 players.
The only permitted roster modification after submission of the final roster will be the replacement of an injured goalie with another goalie pending a written request and WSYL approval.
Copies of birth certificates, proof of residency (report card from '16/'17 academic year & valid parent Driver's License), verification of health insurance accepted in the United States, and waiver forms, are all due:
West/Central Regional Qualifier: January 13, 2017
North/East/South Regional Qualifier: March 3, 2017
Any team in violation of the above roster rules will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player has participated, forfeit any opportunity to advance to the playoffs and forfeit any accolades or titles received by the team.
Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to advance to the playoffs.

Totally agree.

The issue is not about the occasional holdback. The issue is with the parents and teams like Madlax that cheat the system to get an unfair and unethical advantage, for both their child and their teams. Without controls there will always be people out there looking to cheat the system. In society they are called criminals. In youth lacrosse they are called parents, directors and coaches. For once, an organization stepped up, stood up to the big known holdback clubs, and did the right thing. Kudos to the WSYL organization. That took guts.

The age restriction eliminates holdback players from being eligible, and the 100 mile radius rule, eliminates outside "ringers" from being brought in. While these rules result in a fairer competition, teams that have become dependent upon these loop holes, will be handicapped under the WSYL rule structure. Teams that are overly dependent upon these loop holes for their success may find the rules of the WSYL too restrictive, and chose not to participate, as a result.

Lies. Every year, there are 1-3 teams that dominate and pummel the rest. If the tournament was in Baltimore, Philly or LI, then it would have a chance of being a real tournament. The location and cost involved precludes almost all of the best clubs. The only top clubs to go there are the ones chasing a meaningless youth trophy.

I rather take my family on a vacation somewhere in the Caribbean than a lacrosse tournament spending that much money playing other LI teams . JMO

Good thing Madlax guy, because you and your holdbacks are going to be able to do just that. Btw. They get cable in the Caribbean. Don’t forget to catch the game on ESPN2, as the LI boys become world champions yet again.

Pequa has a nice ‘24 crop. Look for them to continue their winning ways.

1. Unless you have proof of anyone being a holdback, shut your Hofstra-educated mouth. You won't find anyone because there are none. You don't think tournaments would rat out Madlax if they were breaking the rules?

2. Any [ChillLaxin] who calls the winner of ANY tournament "world champion" is severely deranged. Maybe that car port flipped over and hit you on the head (hope it didn't damage your TransAm).

Best east coast tourney this year, although half the teams you listed, Mr Madlax, are horrible teams which leads me to believe you don’t know much about the ‘24 landscape. Interesting how you site a tourney that Madlax finished 4th in, last year. Typical showing for your ‘23’s. Regardless, we’re referring to next year and it hardly compares to a national/international tourney that’s on national TV on ESPN2 with top D1 on air talent. Absolutely, no comparison, obviously! However, for the cheating holdback teams, that’s as close as you are going to get.

Why would other teams that also consistently have hold backs rat Madlax or any other team out?

The people I know who have had kids compete in the tournament have had only great things to say about it. If my son is able to make a team that is able to make the tournament I would do it because I think it is probably a very memorable experience. Family vacations to islands are also memorable and fun.

More mind numbing babble from the Madlax holdback dad. Yawn.

If this list came from the Madlax child, then it exists only in his mind. Check the website for factual information.

If your son makes a decent team, that Team and you are going to the WSYL. The only exception is if your son makes a team like Madlax or basically any of the better MD teams that are over run with hold backs, in which case you likely won’t go, due to the WSYL age restrictions. They dont allow holdbacks. Good luck to your son.

Crabs are horrendous. Laxachusetts are possibly even worse. Eclipse is fair at best. What is BBL? Where are Looneys?? They beat Madlax badly last time they played. If you have Madlax on the list, which is debatable, obviously Looneys has to be included.

It wouldn’t matter if the WSYL was played on LI, Philly or the moon for that matter! Cheating hold back teams aren’t welcome. Madlax ain’t never going where ever it’s played.

Still waiting for your proof that we have any holdbacks. Please cite your proof. Otherwise, shut up. I guess that's the only way you can explain us pummeling your team every time.

North/East/South Regional Qualifier: March 3, 2017
Any team in violation of the above roster rules will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player has participated, forfeit any opportunity to advance to the playoffs and forfeit any accolades or titles received by the team.
Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to advance to the playoffs.

Totally agree.

The issue is not about the occasional holdback. The issue is with the parents and teams like Madlax that cheat the system to get an unfair and unethical advantage, for both their child and their teams. Without controls there will always be people out there looking to cheat the system. In society they are called criminals. In youth lacrosse they are called parents, directors and coaches. For once, an organization stepped up, stood up to the big known holdback clubs, and did the right thing. Kudos to the WSYL organization. That took guts.

So true.

Still waiting for the 2 LI dads who post here non-stop to provide any type of proof that Madlax 2024 has any holdbacks. I'll keep waiting because there is no proof. Every kids is a 2024 kid. It just kills you guys that our guys are on age, grade, and run over your teams every time.

There are more than 2 posters making this claim. Considerign holdbacks are the defacto standard in the mid-Atlantic, you have a better chance of peeing up a rope than convincing anyone here that somehow Madlax defies what every other team down there seems to does . . .

The age restriction eliminates holdback players from being eligible, and the 100 mile radius rule, eliminates outside "ringers" from being brought in. While these rules result in a fairer competition, teams that have become dependent upon these loop holes, will be handicapped under the WSYL rule structure. Teams that are overly dependent upon these loop holes for their success may find the rules of the WSYL too restrictive, and chose not to participate, as a result.

Lies. Every year, there are 1-3 teams that dominate and pummel the rest. If the tournament was in Baltimore, Philly or LI, then it would have a chance of being a real tournament. The location and cost involved precludes almost all of the best clubs. The only top clubs to go there are the ones chasing a meaningless youth trophy.

It wouldn’t matter if the WSYL was played on LI, Philly or the moon for that matter! Cheating hold back teams aren’t welcome. Madlax ain’t never going where ever it’s played.

Still waiting for your proof that we have any holdbacks. Please cite your proof. Otherwise, shut up. I guess that's the only way you can explain us pummeling your team every time.

Dummy. I already posted it. Your reading comprehension not so good?? Maybe I’ll repost tomorrow, but not sure what good that will do. Btw. You are suppose to show proof that you don’t have holdbacks. Guess you couldnt read that post either. You’re a difficult person to work with, with all of your learning disabilities. Show us the roster that you have detailing the birthdays. It must be on the website somewhere, since you claim to have all that information. Yeah right. Tell us where it is. Extremely simple, I’m confident you can handle it, holdback Daddy.

Dude. All 6 of the teams you listed are [ChillLaxin] poor. Pretty sure the point of this exercise was to identify potential top HS teams, based on a good current crop of ‘24’s. So far you have identified 6 teams that are going to stink, based on what we know today. I’m not stirring any pot, but suffice to say, this topic doesn’t apply to you.

The fact that this is the only Madlax parent making this preposterous claim speaks very clearly about the holdback issue and this team. Gotta give them credit. They have integrity.

Elite 12 tournament is the best in the age group. Top 12 teams in the country. Madlax, bethesda, team 91 MD, hawks, crabs, brotherly love, Wolfpack, Taz, express, laxachusetts, BBL, eclipse

The only tournament that matters in this age group. WP going back as defending champs

What I have seen top town teams in Suffolk is Bayport ( bunch of wp players) Commack ,esm and Swr all have top team kids in there town. ( sorry, Sachem and Smithtown not in conversation at 2024.)
Nassau- GC and Rvc both teams are loaded with A players. Pequa & Manhasset are good teams.

I agree with that

I am ok with boys playing down if born after the Sept 1st age requirement. But if you think that there are only 3 boys born in 2005 on that express team you are lying to yourself. check your # again more then 1/2 the team has 2005 DOB. Taz and Pack in the same boat. the top teams are flooded with 2005 birthdays.

Question. Where do you get your information? I suppose that you requested the birthdates of all players on the three teams, and they mailed it to you, correct? You’re as mindless as the Madlax holdback parent. I can tell you that my son plays on one of those teams and they have no players born before Dec 05. According to multiple Express parents, they have a bunch of new holdbacks. But if you look at Taz and WP you’d be hard pressed to find any player that physically resembles a holdback. At least one of those teams doesn’t have any, which bodes well for them next year in Denver. So stop making false statements.

True statement! the top teams ALL have the majority of there team born in 2005. I understand the majority of them may have fall birthdays but they are 2005's. Go ask at your next winter practice over 80% of your team is 12 yrs old.

LOL. Now it's gone from our faceoff middie being a holdback to over 50% being holdbacks. You don't think it would leak out from a tournament or another club director if we had even ONE holdback? We have zero, so I guess you have to keep lying. Holdbacks are legal, as you know, but we have zero. These are all kids in 6th grade.

We own you. Face it.

Again, when everyone in the mid-Atlantic has holdbacks, why would any tourneys leak that info out . . .? Dumbest defense ever!!

I can say with 100% certainty that is incorrect for one of the teams. And if I’m looking at the size of both Taz and WP, common sense says it’s incorrect for both. Nice try though Madlax holdback Parent. Madlax is the only team with over 50% of the Team holdbacks.

LOL. Now it's gone from our faceoff middie being a holdback to over 50% being holdbacks. You don't think it would leak out from a tournament or another club director if we had even ONE holdback? We have zero, so I guess you have to keep lying. Holdbacks are legal, as you know, but we have zero. These are all kids in 6th grade.

And, this thread is about Express, not the mad dumba$$ from VA that WP has a 79% win average against, with NOOOOOO holdbacks. Versus Mad dad, with half a team of holdbacks.

What I have seen top town teams in Suffolk is Bayport ( bunch of wp players) Commack ,esm and Swr all have top team kids in there town. ( sorry, Sachem and Smithtown not in conversation at 2024.)
Nassau- GC and Rvc both teams are loaded with A players. Pequa & Manhasset are good teams.

Dude. All 6 of the teams you listed are [ChillLaxin] poor. Pretty sure the point of this exercise was to identify potential top HS teams, based on a good current crop of ‘24’s. So far you have identified 6 teams that are going to stink, based on what we know today. I’m not stirring any pot, but suffice to say, this topic doesn’t apply to you.

[/quote what school teams do you think are so great ?

You appear to be from Suffolk. And you don't know any teams that are better than the ones that you listed?? If so, you must be very new to this or just not paying attention.

You will see 2 teams sachem . Keep thinking that way ; you will find out soon enough.

Hey, LI dad. We play in LI and everywhere. Still waiting for your "proof" that we have holdbacks. Your silence is deafening.

To be clear, top teams from around the country, and the world, are represented at the WSYL each year. This tournament has as level a playing field as there is, in youth lacrosse. It eliminates many of the loop holes that plague other tournaments, which some teams have exploited to their advantage. The age restriction eliminates holdback players from being eligible, and the 100 mile radius rule, eliminates outside "ringers" from being brought in. While these rules result in a fairer competition, teams that have become dependent upon these loop holes, will be handicapped under the WSYL rule structure. Teams that are overly dependent upon these loop holes for their success may find the rules of the WSYL too restrictive, and chose not to participate, as a result.

Lies. Every year, there are 1-3 teams that dominate and pummel the rest. If the tournament was in Baltimore, Philly or LI, then it would have a chance of being a real tournament. The location and cost involved precludes almost all of the best clubs. The only top clubs to go there are the ones chasing a meaningless youth trophy.

It wouldn’t matter if the WSYL was played on LI, Philly or the moon for that matter! Cheating hold back teams aren’t welcome. Madlax ain’t never going where ever it’s played.

Still waiting for your proof that we have any holdbacks. Please cite your proof. Otherwise, shut up. I guess that's the only way you can explain us pummeling your team every time.

Dummy. I already posted it. Your reading comprehension not so good?? Maybe I’ll repost tomorrow, but not sure what good that will do. Btw. You are suppose to show proof that you don’t have holdbacks. Guess you couldnt read that post either. You’re a difficult person to work with, with all of your learning disabilities. Show us the roster that you have detailing the birthdays. It must be on the website somewhere, since you claim to have all that information. Yeah right. Tell us where it is. Extremely simple, I’m confident you can handle it, holdback Daddy.

OK mad dummy parent, here's your proof... IN YOUR OWN WORDS, COPY AND PASTED FROM YOUR POST...

*****Madlax does not have any kids born before 9/1/2004.*****

So, going by your information, all of your hold backs that are born in November of 2004 (as an example) will be 14 years and 8 months old for the July WSYL. Now, that may not mean anything to you, with all of the math involved, but my son will be 12 next July, not 14 and a 1/2. GET THE PICTURE NOW???

Yes . No competition . Waste of time. They need to play real teams

They are a 2023 WSL team they should have owned that bracket. Not impressed. They only beat a dysfunctional Dukes team by 1 goal at the end of the game.

Wrong. They are a full 2024 team with 2 2023’s. Went undefeated at TOC. Nice talking to ya Frankie

Hey, dummy. I didn't write "Madlax does not have any kids born before 9/1/2004". As for birthdates, every tournament we attend has our kids' birthdates submitted. Every tournament director sees them. Ask any of them if we have holdbacks. We have none. But keep lying and making excuses why your sons can't beat us. You must be crying in your IROC every day.

* * * * WSYL eligibility requires all players must be born on or after 9/1/2004. Madlax does not have any kids born before 9/1/2004. We're not going because parents decided we didnt want to go. That's it. End of story. * * * *

YOUR words, not mine, dummy. Check out tab 169, to verify.

I know. It doesn't exist because age doesn't matter to the tourney committee's, because the tourneys are owned by the clubs that benefit from all of the holdbacks. Hello?!! This guy is so full of [ChillLaxin], it's oozing out of every crevice on his body. The guy is not only a liar, but COMPLETELY clueless about the whole process. Everybody knows that the mid-Atlantic is bulging at the seams with holdbacks but no one cares, obviously. The only tourney with any integrity at all, that isn't owned by the clubs that support the holdbacks, is the WSYL, which of course none of the hold back clubs can participate in.

Year after year, all of you guys give me an edge at any tournament night bar. While you argue about who has the best 10 year old players, I’m easily sliding in on your wives by simply talking about adult stuff. Keep this up, makes it easy for me

I'll type this REAL SLOWLY so that you can understand. That was part of someone else's post, not mine. The team is on age and on grade. I notice you refuse to provide any evidence. Ask any tournament director of a tournament we attended. All those tournaments get a roster from each club listing each kid with birthdates and grades.

LOL. You really think the suburbs of DC is "RN country"? Let's look at the data of the wealthiest counties in the United States.

#1. Loudoun County, VA

#2. Fairfax County, VA

#5. Arlingtoun County, VA

#6. Stafford County, VA

#11. Montgomery County, MD

#12. Prince William County, VA

LOL. Meanwhile, parts of LI are known for being the neck tat capitals of the US.

What is the purpose of this thread? Do you think the Madlax pot stirrer who is probably a kid from NY is going to turn around and say, youre right, we have holdbacks, youre the best. And not for nothing lets not sit here and pretend like LI doesnt have holdbacks. Please move the debate to the Maryland board so you can have a wider audience to influence on changing their ways. Here's a question to discuss, how much does your club team overlap with town? Are we seeing death of town at the 2024 level?

I agree enough already with this d bag from VA. But I gotta say, nobody else has anything to say on here, except to say they are sick of that pointless, mindless back and forth with what amounts to a child. A lot of people apparently read this board, but very few people have anything to say.

What I have seen top town teams in Suffolk is Bayport ( bunch of wp players) Commack ,esm and Swr all have top team kids in there town. ( sorry, Sachem and Smithtown not in conversation at 2024.)
Nassau- GC and Rvc both teams are loaded with A players. Pequa & Manhasset are good teams.

You will see 2 teams sachem . Keep thinking that way ; you will find out soon enough.

Has Sachem 2024 ever won a game?? Ever?? Seriously. I don’t keep real close tabs on really bad teams, so maybe at some point in the last 7 years you guys won a game?? Sounds like maybe you did. If so, I’d love to know what team that was.

they beat garden city and Coram and Wm .. Swr next . So bring it !!

Dude. All 6 of the teams you listed are [ChillLaxin] poor. Pretty sure the point of this exercise was to identify potential top HS teams, based on a good current crop of ‘24’s. So far you have identified 6 teams that are going to stink, based on what we know today. I’m not stirring any pot, but suffice to say, this topic doesn’t apply to you.

[/quote what school teams do you think are so great ?

You appear to be from Suffolk. And you don't know any teams that are better than the ones that you listed?? If so, you must be very new to this or just not paying attention.

Have you ever heard of any on age town team beating Bayport, Commack or SWR??

I didn’t think so. Best teams on the island. Not one decent team in Nassau. None.

I haven’t seen any good pequa kids. None. Where are the good ones playing club? Same for manhasset. The face off kid is decent, but there are others??

Hello?? Where’d you go?? All of the kids from these towns are on B teams. Looks like the HS lacrosse landscape is going to be changing ALOT in a few years.....

<eye roll>

These 3 teams are tough to beat. BBP loaded with WP kids, Commack has 2 WP kids and a middie I believe plays for the Outlaws or one of those teams and SWR has Taz boys. Don't think any of these 2024 teams compete with them. PAL is fun but by no means compares to travel. Having AA boys on your squad is the key but mixed with B and below boys takes the synergy away.

Still waiting for ANY type of proof that Madlax has holdbacks. Any.

Mount Sinai?? Dude, that's a big time stretch. But, the rest is correct. No Nassau team can come within 10 goals of top 3 Suffolk teams. A whole different class of lacrosse. The real good ones are basically travel teams and very good ones.

Gotta agree, but I think that BBP is in a class of their own. My sons team has played them since 2nd grade. I don't believe they have ever lost a game. Truly a cut above.

Buddy, you're on the wrong thread. This is the '24 thread. Nobodoy cares about your '23 team.

Let's keep it real here. Last Spring a little '23 team from the south shore tied you guys, or are you trying to forget about that game? So your statement is inaccurate. There are teams just as good as 3V. Sorry to rain on your fantasy! You think by posting on the '24 thread, no one is going to know about that game, right?? Wrong. You recall who that was??? I'll give you credit, no doubt 3V is a very good '23 town team, but considering that your boys only play on that team and no travel teams, not as impressive. Playing together all of the time is a big advantage. So we know that you had a tie last year. How'd you do against SWR? That's also a very good '23 team. So, really there are 3 top '23 town teams in Suffolk, two of which are just as good as 3V. So, stop drinking the 3V Koolaid, and keep it real.

Do you really think no kids from 3v can play on club teams? Haha. That's hysterical.

Love the WP and tazzies who think their club success will translate to high school success. Look a year ahead and behind at your trash programs. Pretty weak. Likely means junior gets bounced early in the playoffs. There is a reason the same teams from Long Island win year after year. And BBP, Commack and ESM are irrelevant.

I believe the poster was saying that 3V players don’t play travel, not that they can’t.

That’s what you got from that post?? The guy called you out on your comment about being the best ‘23 town Team. How about a comment on that?!!

Really? I guess great players turn into horrible players once they get to HS, right? One of the dumbest posts ever on BOTC. I've seen it first hand. Sorry Nassau daddy. Your teams all suck, and unfortunately that aint going to change. Nassau will continue to be completely irrelevent right through HS. I'm sure you're use to it by now. How long has it been, 7 years now?? Yup. You're use to it.

"Look a year ahead and behind"... ? You better ask your '23 and '25 coaches, because these programs are strong at that age and some extremely strong! LI dominance by these teams will continue through 2024 and beyond. Sucks to be you Nassau daddys.

Top players will always be top players. Bad players will always be bad players. Sorry, no hope for you. The kings of lacrosse in your world are SWR, Commack and BBP (no, not ESM... think you got your letters mixed up there), and it's going to stay that way.

You’re not paying attention to HS lax if you think those 3 schools are “irrelevant”. Not saying they are lacrosse dynasty’s but all have had great success ESM just won th counties, BBP has won a LIC, and Commack has become a very strong team in a crazy competitive Suffolk A division. We are not talking about door mat teams here. I’m guessing you are a stuck up GC dad or something because anyone not stuck in their own bubble would not make these comments.

the express Dad has to pound his chest somewhere, certainly can not do it in club. Gc is almost the entire express team: they still have trouble beating town teams. TRUTH.

Sorry to pop your balloon Nassau Daddy, but did you check the names of the teams that you played in those tourneys?? Your record, all time, against these 3 teams is zero wins and all losses. Nothing remotely close. Beating a bunch of bad teams doesn’t mean anything. The top teams have been playing playing up for 2 years, in search of actual competition, while your teams have been playing horrendous teams. Sounds like I’m stirring the pot, but I’m not. This is 100% factual.

Really? I guess great players turn into horrible players once they get to HS, right? One of the dumbest posts ever on BOTC. I've seen it first hand. Sorry Nassau daddy. Your teams all suck, and unfortunately that aint going to change. Nassau will continue to be completely irrelevent right through HS. I'm sure you're use to it by now. How long has it been, 7 years now?? Yup. You're use to it.

Yeah, CSH has been irrelevant...! (And yes, we all know they are a Suffolk locale, but they play in Section VIII!)

This is a board for 2024, not 2017. CSH has nothing.

Yes, I know - CSH teams all came out of nowhere all these previous years . . . (!)

So Suffolk daddy! explain why my bubble popped? GC and Rvc play competitive with bp and commack. Sorry never seen swr in any final so i don't know how record is 0-3.

What is the point of this whole town debate? Whether a town team is competitive or whether a given town has competitive players? If the former, so what, as that is less of an indicator of eventual high school prowess as demonstrated by many strong school program that don't.

nice ...trying to lump RVC in with GC....hahahaha

Real mature of you calling a group of kids bad. What is more shocking is that a piece of crap website that allows this. I'll anticipate your responses. No, didn't strike a nerve, just protecting kids something you have no idea about as you live your life through your kid. Yes, my kid does suck, can't catch, throw, shoot. He has trouble chewing gum and walking.
Loser.

What I have seen top town teams in Suffolk is Bayport ( bunch of wp players) Commack ,esm and Swr all have top team kids in there town. ( sorry, Sachem and Smithtown not in conversation at 2024.)
Nassau- GC and Rvc both teams are loaded with A players. Pequa & Manhasset are

Gotta love the online contest based upon guys' kid's lacrosse teams - what deficiencies do you guys have in your own lives that it comes down to this?!

The same one you have for even replying. DB

Me pointing out your insecurities is not anything like you guys having a virtual sword contest. I come on BOTC to see the (very) occasional useful lax info. Most days, I read it and feel like I need a shower afterwards. You, on the other hand, appear to enjoy it

. Like anyone believes that. You are only fooling your self. TBO to even refer to the chat in that manner as you did , is VERY CREEPY!

No one believes what??

"Look a year ahead and behind"... ? You better ask your '23 and '25 coaches, because these programs are strong at that age and some extremely strong! LI dominance by these teams will continue through 2024 and beyond. stinks to be you Nassau daddys.

just checking where is Chaminade located?

Ok, I checked with the 23 and 25 coaches and they confirmed that BBP, commack and ESM all stink at those ages groups. I guess the combined total of 3 LIC in 50 years will need to be enough.

Every team has them. And God forbid if you say anything, especially if they are in the coaches ear! If you think about it, many teams are similar to today's reality programs. That's why its good to keep it moving on the sidelines and if you have to talk, be careful and say a bunch of nothing.

Try to stay up here. The conversation was Commack, BBP and SWR. We going too fast for you?? And, stop lying. It's very transparent. If you had actually called these coaches, which of course you have no clue who they even are, they would have told you that at least two out of the three teams are AS GOOD AS IT GETS in those grades. This is no secret. Get use to these towns, because they will continue to be your daddy for the next 7+ years.

Once CSH's current crop moves through, which it likely already has, they go right back to where they have been... obscurity... because they have nothing in the pipeline. absolutely nothing. Here comes the 7 year drought!!

agreed! I was told that Commack 2024 team poaches from other towns.

What a loser comment from a very jealous Nassau parent. If you're going to make crap up, can you put a little effort into it next time?? Need better material out of you. VERY lame.

Yes you're right the Commack coaches comb the island looking to poach players from other teams. lol. Where do you people come up with this stuff? Amazing how every good team gets bashed for being good and they must be cheating to do it. Maybe your team is just not that good. I heard that BBP has been pumping steroids into their boys since birth so they can dominate the 2024 PAL circuit. SWR... everyone knows those guys have been using HGH since they took the field at 5 years old. lol. PAL is for fun and for the boys to play with their friends, if you look at it any deeper than that you are an amateur at this game. Pal=Fun.... Travel = Competitive. Now grab a coffee and enjoy the ride because it doesn't last long.

Solid Post... but Bayport, ESM, Commack all grab kids from neighboring towns to "compete" for "fun."

FACT. just sayin.....
and SWR needs to get with their drug rep because the HGH isn't working

Same lame-o, jealous guy. You think that is fact because this practice is absolutely common place in town lacrosse. We have all seen it. However, this is most common with really bad teams, for obvious reasons, or teams with short rosters that just need additional bodies for a particular tourney. There are teams with integrity out there, that win and lose with their town kids. But these teams don't lose, and they certainly don't need out of towners to beat bad '24 competition on LI. But keep on making excuses about why your kids team can't win any town games, if it makes you feel better.

I would not use the word combs. But we all know. And the bbp goalie?or is it ESM goalie? if you do it with 1 player there are more. Exactly what tournaments does swr play in? Or do they play in Fla now?

the fact is that HGH costs over 15k per month. only covered by insurance when absolutely needed for deficiency. are there a lot of Commack moms paying out of pocket? nahhhhhhhhhhhh

OK. Think we beat that topic to death. Any new ones???

My kid plays PAL, he has had many competitive games, has great coaches, gets to play for several months and like you said has fun in the process, especially being with his friends. On other hand my friend's kid plays on a club team, complains all the time about lack of competition or always playing the same competition and lack of fair play time. Plus it's an all year commitment. And surprisingly he is not having much fun. Calll me an amateur or whatever comment you want to use to mock my response and belittle the fun league( not taking it personal just rebutting your blanket statement) but I'll keep my kid in the fun league and use the thousands of dollars I'm saving for private instructions and clinics...and filling my cup up with DD while I watch him playing along side your boy in high school

But keep on making excuses about why your kids team can't win any town games, if it makes you feel better.

I'm sure teams pick up kids for tourneys when they are short players but they don't do it to win tournaments. If that were the case they would just change their name to something else and enter. If they win great they won a PAL tournament, who cares. I've seen this with my 2021, it is getting to the point where the better players are widening the gap between the players who are borderline and the borderline dads\moms will say anything to keep the better players down and make themselves feel better. The days of being "faster" than all the other boys is slipping away. The sport at this age is favoring the player with IQ, stick skills, size, speed ,first step and overall tenacity to want to play the game. Face it, the sport is competitive especially on LI, you either have it or you don't. There is much more to this game than being the "fastest" or "biggest" kid on the field. Doesn't work anymore these boys aren't 3rd graders. Been there people, if you son isn't an overall player in these things he will struggle going forward, he doesn't have to been perfect in all of them but needs to be a force in a couple to hang.

On an entirely different topic, what is everyone paying in club fees this year? 91 is charging $3300 not including additional winter training and tournaments. How about the rest?

These prices are crazy and we are even more crazy for paying them. My son is on Express B and its $2800 no winter included

$1,900 for 5 tourneys, fall and spring training.

Any LI teams playing in the NXT Box tournament in Feb?

Looking at just the total price doesn't compare apples to apples, as some teams include extra tourneys, winter turf time and training in those numbers, while others you pay a la carte for all of the extra's. Suffice to say, travel has gone to a whole new level, price-wise. Tuition for 91 went up 57% in the past two years. Granted, they throw in some extra's to get to that price, including an extra sweatshirt, but +57% in two years is staggering. Makes you start thinking about getting off the travel lacrosse gravy train. You wonder why lacrosse is perceived as the prep school sport of the privileged?? It's because it still very much is.

Solid Post... but Bayport, ESM, Commack all grab kids from neighboring towns to "compete" for "fun."

FACT. just sayin.....
and SWR needs to get with their drug rep because the HGH isn't working

Same lame-o, jealous guy. You think that is fact because this practice is absolutely common place in town lacrosse. We have all seen it. However, this is most common with really bad teams, for obvious reasons, or teams with short rosters that just need additional bodies for a particular tourney. There are teams with integrity out there, that win and lose with their town kids. But these teams don't lose, and they certainly don't need out of towners to beat bad '24 competition on LI. But keep on making excuses about why your kids team can't win any town games, if it makes you feel better.

I'm sure teams pick up kids for tourneys when they are short players but they don't do it to win tournaments. If that were the case they would just change their name to something else and enter. If they win great they won a PAL tournament, who cares. I've seen this with my 2021, it is getting to the point where the better players are widening the gap between the players who are borderline and the borderline dads\moms will say anything to keep the better players down and make themselves feel better. The days of being "faster" than all the other boys is slipping away. The sport at this age is favoring the player with IQ, stick skills, size, speed ,first step and overall tenacity to want to play the game. Face it, the sport is competitive especially on LI, you either have it or you don't. There is much more to this game than being the "fastest" or "biggest" kid on the field. Doesn't work anymore these boys aren't 3rd graders. Been there people, if you son isn't an overall player in these things he will struggle going forward, he doesn't have to been perfect in all of them but needs to be a force in a couple to hang.

Great post. So true.

Looking at just the total price doesn't compare apples to apples, as some teams include extra tourneys, winter turf time and training in those numbers, while others you pay a la carte for all of the extra's. Suffice to say, travel has gone to a whole new level, price-wise. Tuition for 91 went up 57% in the past two years. Granted, they throw in some extra's to get to that price, including an extra sweatshirt, but +57% in two years is staggering. Makes you start thinking about getting off the travel lacrosse gravy train. You wonder why lacrosse is perceived as the prep school sport of the privileged?? It's because it still very much is.

Which is exactly why I will not have my son play for a club program that includes a true "full year" program - I don't want:

* fall tourneys - my kids are busy playing football from Aug 1st to the end of Nov. with Saturday walk-throughs and Sunday games, along with travel practices every other week or so
* winter workouts are fine, but I prefer it to be extra and a la carte - my kids are playing basketball and/or wrestling, as well as having some weekends to maybe do something as a family. We'll make as many as we can, but, if not, then I don't feel like I paid for something I could not take advantage of.
* spring tourneys - my kids are busy enough with their PAL and school teams, along with the the ramping up of their travel practices as we move into April/May

In the end, I worry less about my kids getting burned out of lax, they are multi-sport athletes and better athletes as a result, and I am not paying as much, but getting more value for my money spent.

Yes you're right the Commack coaches comb the island looking to poach players from other teams. lol. Where do you people come up with this stuff? Amazing how every good team gets bashed for being good and they must be cheating to do it. Maybe your team is just not that good. I heard that BBP has been pumping steroids into their boys since birth so they can dominate the 2024 PAL circuit. SWR... everyone knows those guys have been using HGH since they took the field at 5 years old. lol. PAL is for fun and for the boys to play with their friends, if you look at it any deeper than that you are an amateur at this game. Pal=Fun.... Travel = Competitive. Now grab a coffee and enjoy the ride because it doesn't last long.

My kid plays PAL, he has had many competitive games, has great coaches, gets to play for several months and like you said has fun in the process, especially being with his friends. On other hand my friend's kid plays on a club team, complains all the time about lack of competition or always playing the same competition and lack of fair play time. Plus it's an all year commitment. And surprisingly he is not having much fun. Calll me an amateur or whatever comment you want to use to mock my response and belittle the fun league( not taking it personal just rebutting your blanket statement) but I'll keep my kid in the fun league and use the thousands of dollars I'm saving for private instructions and clinics...and filling my cup up with DD while I watch him playing along side your boy in high school

<Eye roll>. You must be looking at your lacrosse bill from your kids club team.

Any news are what tournaments teams are playing at this spring / summer? Heard Elite 8 is now “Fantastic 12”

Nope - just at you. If you think any student athlete will achieve at an equal level with the approach you're taking versus playing club, then there's really no sense in continuing this discussion, as you would be wrong 9 times out if 10. Congrats if your son is the 1, but, then he is an anamolie, and you just got lucky.

All extremely valid arguments. However, I'm sure that almost 100% of the people that read this will opt for the year round program, assuming their son is able to make such a team. Why? The proof is in the pudding. You're son obviously is unable to make such a team, or at least a decent one. Without the extra work and expertise associated with a better year round program, he has no chance of keeping up with the boys that do. That's the sad truth and the reason why we think these teams have us by the short hairs.

The prices are just out of control , it’s a cash money maker for the clubs , guys that do FO lessons , goalie lessons etc. I bet the big names guys are getting Easy $80 an hour private. People will keep paying and paying and the greatest thing is people drinking the cool aid about scholarships. Remember 12.6 scholships with 50 man rosters. Then all the money spent from 3rd grade to high school to lessons to showcases its crazy out there.

To me, the biggest scam going in Lax is the personal training for goalies. The FOGO training pays dividends big time in results, but lets face it, the goalie position is about hand quickness and confidence. The quickness is innate. The confidence is learned over time with experience. Complete waste of money by an enormous amount of people, including me.

I agree but the best FO is small groups , some of these guys charge $50,$60 and there’s 30 plus people there with 1 coach blowing a whistle down set . All cash

True, but learning the different techniques... there is value in it. A lot of value, in my opinion. There's almost no value in goalie training, other than the repetition, which you can get anywhere.

I said I didn't want fall and spring tournaments - my kids practice with their club teams during both of those seasons. They also make a majority of their winter workouts, but I lose zero sleep and money when they don't. My one son's team is full of players who willingly left the big programs because of all of the [ChillLaxin] - their team is about consistent in talent from the 1st to 18th boy, so I know my son could have played on those clubs (provided they chose solely based upon play, but we all know that part of the [ChillLaxin] is that that doesn't happen!). Ultimately, my son and a whole bunch of players who don't play for the big clubs will all be vying for the same roster spots as your kids - fact.

So who are the 4 additional team?

Players have left good clubs, because they think like you?? Friend, I’m very familiar with the rosters of the top clubs, and no players have done what you are describing. We get it. You’re pissed off about what you perceive to be unfair treatment by the coaches. Happens all the time. The reality is, your kid isn’t as good as you wish he was. And in all likelihood, he never will be. Try to keep it in perspective. It’s just a game that will be over before you know it. It’s not important. The relationship you have with your son is. Don’t jeopardize that over a game that is only played to have fun.

You've made a ton of assumptions, which is pretty much par for the course when you hold false perceptions of superiority. What you fail to see is that, despite its growth, youth lacrosse at the club level is about as dysfunctional as it could be. That observation is not made based upon personal experiences, but by reasoned observation - one can be critical of something even when they haven't been victimized by it; no bitterness here - none of my boys have not made the teams they tried out for! Novel concept there, especially to those who rely on emotion and knee jerk reactions to decision-making! Also, your over simplistic assessment of things to a 'black and white' position further suggests a casual at best thinking on the subject or intellectual laziness. While this is a 2024 board, the thread delved into a topic that was relevant to any/all ages. The big clubs have two and three teams at many ages - if you are that familiar with ALL of those clubs teams at ALL ages, maybe you should reconsider what you choose to do in your spare time. I have multiple sons playing in multiple age groups - I am going to to go out on a limb and guess you don't know anything about the group of boys I referenced - I say that mostly because the numbers are not in your favor (otherwise, you're a creeper!) and because you're wrong. I present criticism of the situation because as a long time coach of multiple sports, I see lax operating in a system that grossly underserves the whole - sure it works 'well' for a very small group. That is also why that small group is either ignorant of the bigger problem or they're worried that any changes will diminish their elite status and influence on the sport. Good luck with that! Your perceptions and attitude would lead to zero progress in lacrosse moving to where it could achieve a status that ALL other major youth sports already have.

SWR... everyone knows those guys have been using HGH since they took the field at 5 years old. lol. PAL is for fun and for the boys to play with their friends, if you look at it any deeper than that you are an amateur at this game. Pal=Fun.... Travel = Competitive. Now grab a coffee and enjoy the ride because it doesn't last long.

Solid Post... but Bayport, ESM, Commack all grab kids from neighboring towns to "compete" for "fun."

FACT. just sayin.....
and SWR needs to get with their drug rep because the HGH isn't working

Same lame-o, jealous guy. You think that is fact because this practice is absolutely common place in town lacrosse. We have all seen it. However, this is most common with really bad teams, for obvious reasons, or teams with short rosters that just need additional bodies for a particular tourney. There are teams with integrity out there, that win and lose with their town kids. But these teams don't lose, and they certainly don't need out of towners to beat bad '24 competition on LI. But keep on making excuses about why your kids team can't win any town games, if it makes you feel better.

I'm sure teams pick up kids for tourneys when they are short players but they don't do it to win tournaments. If that were the case they would just change their name to something else and enter. If they win great they won a PAL tournament, who cares. I've seen this with my 2021, it is getting to the point where the better players are widening the gap between the players who are borderline and the borderline dads\moms will say anything to keep the better players down and make themselves feel better. The days of being "faster" than all the other boys is slipping away. The sport at this age is favoring the player with IQ, stick skills, size, speed ,first step and overall tenacity to want to play the game. Face it, the sport is competitive especially on LI, you either have it or you don't. There is much more to this game than being the "fastest" or "biggest" kid on the field. Doesn't work anymore these boys aren't 3rd graders. Been there people, if you son isn't an overall player in these things he will struggle going forward, he doesn't have to been perfect in all of them but needs to be a force in a couple to hang.

This hits it right on the head. As close as you think you are to these parents they will try to sabotage the growth of your son if their boy is sub par or below. You're starting to hear " I know what happens in the future" or " My older son has been through this, so I KNOW" or my favorite " that kid is not that good he does this wrong and that wrong" The best part about this is they talk and bash to other parents in the same scenario instead of giving the kid who is really excelling a pat on the back. Or actually speaking up to the parents instead of hiding and running their mouth. I thought my daughters team was bad but now you are seeing it in the boys game. No matter how many excuses are made, be real with yourself ...you're boy may not have it. Period. The gap is widening fast and now they are scrambling. Never pay attention to these people, they are looking to poke holes in your situation because their situation isn't panning out. Like the post says, you either got it or you don't. Sad part about it is everyone around them sees it except for them.

I think you mean 91 us $3300- including winter training. Just not box. BOX is extra. Are you confusing box with winter training?

Predators - $3K all in

Just added up all of the travel Lax costs for 2017, including hotel, gas and tolls (the gas and tolls are estimated) I was right under 7k last year. That’s 91. Anybody else add up everything? How does that compare to the other year round clubs out there? Quick math. 10 years of that is 70k, for one son. Many of us have two or more kids playing. Makes you think, that’s for sure.

What exactly is a fast paced practice, and what does that have to do with the topic?

unfortunately, most of these club teams have kids (mostly coaches sons) that get a free ride along with a few players which the teams need badly to stay competitive, which also get a free ride (scholarships), leaving the remaining 60%-70% of players to pay the bill for everyone

TB = True Blue? It's $1,900 for fall/spring/summer/tourneys; winter training is a la carte, $20 per session for 10 sessions

Team Long Island was always pretty cheap, relative to the rest. But I would never recommend going there! As it happens, they still do exist (somehow!).

Woops. Neglected a couple of road trips. I'm definitely north of 7K for last year. Nobody else has added it all up?? Good idea!

The best and cheapest way to do this is through a non-profit coop, but its hard to pull off. Just hire two paid coaches, buy some uniforms, pays some tournament fees, maybe need to pay some trivial fees to a town for field use, and divide the costs by 20. Not a lot of money.

Did you and your son have fun? Did he grow as a person and make life long friends?

Coop - are we raising chickens??

Having gone through this consideration recently, there are tourneys that will not take "all comers" - depending upon the level and/or type of tourney you want your team to play in, you may or may not get in if you are not an established club. This becomes more an issue with older boys who are in their recruiting ages - but, you have to consider that even if that has no bearing now, when they get to that age, your sons will all have to now deal with that then: are you going to all look to move to another established club that can get you into those tourneys?

Well TB is cheaper because you get Joe Cat. They need to discount! Plus there's much less practices. 91 is the better option. Take out a loan if you can't afford it.

No, 91 is not a scam and wait until your doors get blown out with JC's kid on the team. Non factor.

So, scam is defined as being dishonest, fraudulent. Fleecing can be defined as according to the dictionary; obtain a great deal of money from (someone), typically by overcharging or swindling them.
So, yeah there is a difference.

Not me. Did it last year. It's billed as the competition of the regions "for national bragging rights". Yet they split the LI region in two. How does that make any sense at all... completely watering down the LI regions talent by splitting that regions talent into two teams. Makes absolutely no sense, unless you're looking at it from a 91/ownership perspective. And, it's not a national tourney, as they would like you to believe. For the most part, it's a LI tourney. A ton of money for one tourney, although I did think it was a good value, considering all of the stuff the kids got for the money. The problem, is they will use all of that stuff... once. Out.

While my son does play on 91, I have had plenty of experiences with other clubs, with other children, to know what it's like out there. And, I am by no means a 91 chest beater. My only allegiance is to my kid. I could care less about which club logo adorns his uniform. Having said that, I can objectively say that 91 is... by far... the most professional club that I am aware of. I really doubt that there is another one out there that compares, in that regard. The coaching, and the dedication of those coaches, is a team specific topic. But, at the '24 level, it's as good as it get's, and their record is further support of that claim. The WP coaches would probably practice every day, if the parents would let them. Based on the success of all the 91 programs (91 is at or near the top of every age group, that I know of), the coaching is obviously another one of their club-wide strengths. My beef is with the skyrocketing prices of travel lacrosse, but that is an industry wide issue, not a 91 issue (but they do seem to be supporting that concept in a big way!). Is 91 the most expensive?? Hard to tell, because it's very difficult to compare apples to oranges, since the pricing structure for each of the clubs is different. But, they could be right now, or they are certainly near the top, if they are not. But, if you are buying top a top of the line product or service, shouldn't you expect the cost be commensurate?? Logic would suggest... yes. A scam?? Definitely not. An expensive, top of the line club?? Yes.

You need to have your agent contact their team rep. If your lucky you will hear back. You should have your son's statistics readily available. ------

And why would that be a joke?? The best kids play for those two teams, so logic dictates that the majority of the team would be Taz and WP, if they are trying to have the best possible team. That doesn’t make sense to you??

I think that was the exception and not the rule. If a kid didn't live near a tryout, then they would accept that. I doubt they would accept that if your son has access to a tryout. I mean, why would they, and forego the crazy-high tryout fee?? They aren't going to do that, obviously.

Fake news. First, I don't believe they had any '23 kids. Can you imagine what the parents of the '24 kids would say about that, if that happened?? Second, why would they all go home, when it's time to play a championship? That doesn't make any sense.

Very weak competition. Taz beat all of the teams by a similar score that they beat their own B team (Launch). Thus, a B team tourney. Total waste of time.

Not sure what team your son is on, but they were not strong.

from the score on the game against TAZ , it sure looks that way. Losing by 10 goals to TAZ does not seem strong. I heard eclipse beat them last spring.

The Eclipse team that beat Taz were mixed with 2023 players,after their game they went home and the real 2024 Eclipse played WP and got spanked.

Fake news. First, I don't believe they had any '23 kids. Can you imagine what the parents of the '24 kids would say about that, if that happened?? Second, why would they all go home, when it's time to play a championship? That doesn't make any sense.

the 2023 team was at the same tournament. Their division was done prior to 2024.A few were taken for the TAZ game which was their world series apparently, then they went home.
Th parents were cheering for kids by Jersey number..not by name....fact

Come on Taz always has a excuse when they lose. So you're saying the difference between Taz and teams are just a few players even if they are 2023 players? If so the gap is much closer then you think it is with the other so called B teams you constantly bash. Enjoy all the boys success and stop making excuses when they lose. We all know they are a great team. Launch clearly a B team. Must be so disappointing to all the parents who were saying Taz boys were coming to that team and they would be a A team also.

Taz is on it's way to irrelevance like every other Legacy team. It's not the kids or the coaches, it's the club. As soon as they stopped being the undisputed #1 team they stop attracting talent because the club itself isn't a draw by itself. Express has the Catholic school hooks and 91 has the marketing. Legacy has none of that. Sorry, but it is all downhill from here.

Very true. Look what happened to Outlaws. Now they're a C club.

As always haters are going to hate. Wishful thinking.

More fake news. Taz lost to a team the WP crusshed. Fact. Get use to it. Pack doesn't lose to B teams. Yes, a reference to your TB loss. An even uglier loss.

Obviously the Legacy brand is a subpar brand in travel lacrosse. C’mon, they came to be, from a merger between Riptide and Havoc Dunedogs. They have a couple of decent teams, of which Taz is one. That’s it. On the landscape of significant travel clubs, they don’t exist. Not sure what will happen to Taz, but if my son were on the team, I would be seriosly thinking about other clubs, at this point. When it comes time for recruiting, those kids are at a serious disadvantage.

The jealousy is so apparent. TAZ still going strong and getting stronger every year. So is WP the 2 power houses at the 2024 on LI . Thanks for all the negative comments , just makes us stronger. Sad that parents put down those clubs because their kids can not make those teams.

Tb lost 15-0 to TAZ :. You really want to bring that up . All teams lose at some point : TAZ , Wp prove time and time again they are the top teams.

Taz Parent always making excuses for all their losses. They lose to TB, and they blame it in ‘23 kids. They lose to Eclipse... ‘23 kids again. The only team where that’s a legit argument is Madlax, who they always lose to. That’s coming in the next thread, right Tazzie?? Pathetic.

If a legit team ever picked up a few older kids like you are describing, there would be a major mutiny on that team, and they wouldn’t exist long at all. Would anybody reading this puut up with such a stunt??? My kid would be off that team the same day. Dude. You need to find some better material/lies/excuses!!

I have a 2024 and a 2020 Does anyone realize Legacy 2020 was and is still one of the most recruited 2020 teams nationally they have 7 or 8 kids committed. Has anyone seen TZ at a recruiting event being Hugged by college coaches. They are very relevant and will become more relevant in the future. Come tryout maybe yore son has a chance to make the team next year. Now go have a catch with your son his weak hand stinks.

More fake news. The NLF won’t even let Legacy in because they are so irrelevant. Sorry Havoc Dune Dog Daddy. Go sell your BS somewhere else. No buyers here.

Getting stronger every year??? How do you figure? Lost to a B team last fall, with a full squad. Lost 2 out of 3 to WP last year. Lose all to Madlax. And that’s only the teams I know about. Getting stronger every year?? Really?? It doesn’t appear so, now does it???

NLF? Joke! More like 91NLF and their cohorts.

Comment from an uninformed parent from another irrelevant club.

some one Stalks the TAZ team. WOW find something better to do. LOSER

So lets get into it. This is what I'm hearing at the 2024 level from parents who don't have boys on the top 2 teams. "Those teams only care about winning" or "Those teams are surrounded by negativity" or "those boys are only trained to win tournaments not play lacrosse" Lets get something straight. The WP coaches are as dedicated as it gets in youth lacrosse. They have taken a group of boys since 2nd grade and turned them into top lacrosse players within a 4 year time period. The time and effort but more importantly detail they put into this game and teaching these boys IQ of the game plus how to think and play when in a game situation is unmatched. 90% of this team is the same since day 1 and it shows. They have some of the best players in their positions in the 2024 class. Is a winning attitude and a want to win mindset a bad thing? No not in lacrosse, business or life. But if that is something you think is a bad thing than top level lax is not for you. Now take the Taz a good team at first and aggressively got better as time went on. Coaches are committed and the team has had a lot of success the last 2 years. Also a team with some top players at their positions. The boys work hard and are also trained to have a winning mindset and it has showed big time in the last couple of years. They deserve everything they have accomplished. To bash or take that away from them is unnecessary The Taz vs WP rivalry has sparked some of the best games around and the best thing to happen to these teams is that they are both at the top of their game. Its refreshing to see boys at this age take something they love and really put the effort in to be the best. Better than video games. There are other solid teams on LI (Express for one and Igloo who is up and coming and from what I hear TB is working hard on improving) This is not taking away from any other programs it just seems to me that the top 2 teams are always bashed on here and the stories are so far fetched its almost childish. I know some of it comes from not making these 2 teams and the parents walking around thinking its an inside job and "that's why my son didn't make it". These boys are not 3rd graders anymore, these teams are being built across the board to take the best kids and mesh them together to create a synergy that works. No different than high school or college ball. If your son had the skills and mindset he would be on these teams, they want the best players.PERIOD. To think your son is better than he is and then think he's not on a roster for some non lax reason is ridiculous. If you think otherwise you are looking through rose colored glasses. If your son had what it takes he would be on the roster and if he's not than he's just not there yet. Stop the bashing and putting these teams coaches, players and parents down. I wish every 2024 team on LI the best of luck.

If your son had what it takes he would be on the roster and if he's not than he's just not there yet. Stop the bashing and putting these teams coaches, players and parents down. I wish every 2024 team on LI the best of luck.

So would it be safe to say that if you are not on one of these teams as you mention than you are automatically considered an inferior player?? Funny cause my kid has the skills and mindset and, is there, so brace yourself and hold your hat when I say he doesn't play on one of those entitled teams, never tried out for them and flat out has no interest in playing for them. No colored glasses, just a truth. Something you obviously have a hard time accepting

I think you should read the post again. I think its meant to say if you tried out for these teams, nothing about someone who didn't try out. I'm sure you son is able to play and that's great. Sounds like you've made up your mind. I thought it made sense after reading all the craziness I read on here, and no my kid isn't there yet. Could be a case of Super lacrosse dad and I know more than any other coach syndrome. Good job brah, I guess we all need to feel successful at something.

WOW !!. Finally some one who makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Quit replying to your own post. Just makes you look even stupider.

Blah, blah, blah, don't hate WP and Taz just because they are better than everyone else on LI. But it is OK for WP and Taz to humiliate any one below them, or bash the team that is above them (Madlax). Hypocritical, huh!?!

Come tryout maybe yore son has a chance to make the team next year. Now go have a catch with your son his weak hand stinks.

No one realizes anything about Legacy 2020 because no one knows they exist. It is another irrelevant team in an irrelevant club. 2020 is the year of the Crush. Maybe you've heard of them?

Wow. The jealousy runs deeper than ever. You people have reached an all time high. Keep sending your kids to our tryouts though. The clubs appreciate your $’s. But don’t get your hopes up. Your kids will be back on their B teams next year. And the jealousy cycle starts anew!

Yes. You are very safe to assume that.

To clarify. WP is the top of the food chain. Can’t put a team above them that they have beaten 79% of the time. Keeping it real.

Obviously the Legacy brand is a subpar brand in travel lacrosse. C’mon, they came to be, from a merger between Riptide and Havoc Dunedogs. They have a couple of decent teams, of which Taz is one. That’s it. On the landscape of significant travel clubs, they don’t exist. Not sure what will happen to Taz, but if my son were on the team, I would be seriosly thinking about other clubs, at this point. When it comes time for recruiting, those kids are at a serious disadvantage.

Both WP and TAZ are fantastic teams there is no doubt but how many articles do you read about great lacrosse players not getting recruited because they were pigeon holed into one sports. The fact is NCAA coaches are looking for multiple sport athletes. Kids that play on teams that are not labeled "AA" but are able to play multiple sports fair much better in the recruiting process because ultimately they are better athletes. Big difference in a multiple sport athlete who has handled a few losses in his youth travel games and a kid that hardly handles defeat but when they do they are taught by there parents to act is if the sky is falling. Coaches notice that.

This team has worked hard, year-round, since 2nd grade, back when no other travel teams, except Taz, existed. While all you Nassau daddy’s were playing with your kids in the sand box, snickering and saying it’s too early to start kids in travel, our “entitled” kids were busting their butts, laying the ground work for future success. These kids have EARNED every bit of success that they enjoy, through a relentless blue collar work ethic. No GC silver spoons in this group!

So you're saying that your little Johnny, on a bad team, losing all the time, is somehow a good thing, in your mind?? Wow... too funny.

You're really going to hate this... but as I've posted before, the core reason why this group is so good, is because they are tremendous athletes first and lacrosse players second. Most are top level athletes in this grade year, anywhere. They are top top players in every sport they play. By the way, there isn't one child on the team that is a lacrosse-only athlete. All of them play several sports (almost always at least 3) including football, soccer, basketball and even baseball, along with any other sport they can fit into their busy schedules. Other travel teams too (not lacrosse). I don't know where you got the idea that these kids only play lacrosse. That is completely ridiculous! Nothing could be further from the truth. Sorry Charlie.

What happened to the Outlaws?

Hey, it's charlie here, just want to throw in my 2 cents: when you take a group of handpicked kids of equal or close to equal skill to play on a team, as a unit, they will usually play well and be tops in their division. However take those same kids and now combine them with kids who aren't as skilled like they will face when they get into Junior high and high school and suddenly they don't look quite like the superstars they did before. Good, great players however you like to refer to them as will lift up the the playability of their teammates. Hopefully your kid who is a true athlete as you suggest will continue to be the team leader past his sixth grade taz yrs.

Charlie,
I guess by using your theory, it would be better if a child or children played on lower level teams against lesser competition so when they too venture to high school and mixed with those same even lesser players,will make a better recipe for success..
Some of you people are just so wrapped up in beating up on these kids,move on with your life,its youth lacrosse, tip your hat to them,most of them are very skilled due to practice, training and athletic ability......geeez...and BTW, they are 11-12 years old children

Both WP and TAZ are fantastic teams there is no doubt but how many articles do you read about great lacrosse players not getting recruited because they were pigeon holed into one sports. The fact is NCAA coaches are looking for multiple sport athletes. Kids that play on teams that are not labeled "AA" but are able to play multiple sports fair much better in the recruiting process because ultimately they are better athletes. Big difference in a multiple sport athlete who has handled a few losses in his youth travel games and a kid that hardly handles defeat but when they do they are taught by there parents to act is if the sky is falling. Coaches notice that.

You're really going to hate this... but as I've posted before, the core reason why this group is so good, is because they are tremendous athletes first and lacrosse players second. Most are top level athletes in this grade year, anywhere. They are top top players in every sport they play. By the way, there isn't one child on the team that is a lacrosse-only athlete. All of them play several sports (almost always at least 3) including football, soccer, basketball and even baseball, along with any other sport they can fit into their busy schedules. Other travel teams too (not lacrosse). I don't know where you got the idea that these kids only play lacrosse. That is completely ridiculous! Nothing could be further from the truth. Sorry Charlie.

Hey, it's charlie here, just want to throw in my 2 cents: when you take a group of handpicked kids of equal or close to equal skill to play on a team, as a unit, they will usually play well and be tops in their division. However take those same kids and now combine them with kids who aren't as skilled like they will face when they get into Junior high and high school and suddenly they don't look quite like the superstars they did before. Good, great players however you like to refer to them as will lift up the the playability of their teammates. Hopefully your kid who is a true athlete as you suggest will continue to be the team leader past his sixth grade taz yrs.

Chuck, if you really think your kid is good, bring him to a tryout. He’ll get sized up by the coaches and you’ll find out objectively what you have, relative to the best out there. If he is that good, either AA team would love to have him. Always looking to add good pieces. Despite what you read on here, the parents of both teams are a tight knit family. Top notch people. Both you and your son would cherish the experience. That invite goes out to everyone. No better experience in travel Lacrosse.

Good question. Talk about irrelevant... do they even have a team at this age? Always thought they were a decent organization. What happened with the ‘24’s? Not looking to aggravate, but after the top 3 teams and maybe a 4th (Igloo), they fall in line with the rest of the (bad) teams. Maybe the question should be...is there a serious lack for of talent at this age, on LI? Why aren’t there more “good” teams??

Outlaws have 2 teams
I would say both b to b plus

Charlie,
I guess by using your theory, it would be better if a child or children played on lower level teams against lesser competition so when they too venture to high school and mixed with those same even lesser players,will make a better recipe for success..
Some of you people are just so wrapped up in beating up on these kids,move on with your life,its youth lacrosse, tip your hat to them,most of them are very skilled due to practice, training and athletic ability......geeez...and BTW, they are 11-12 years old children

90% of them are 12, and have been for quite sometime. Alot of 2005 dob's on those teams.No Hate- just a fact! When you take athletic older boys hold them back in K for lacrosse and have them practice all the time,Yes the odds are quite good they will be a dominant team. WP TAZ and now Express in same conversation. The thing is, there are many really really good on age kids (2006's) that might not have gotten the nod in the past.Believe it or not 1yr still makes a big difference! Also i also know many quality kids that do NOT want to play on Taz,wp and express that could make those squads.

So your claiming tremendous athletes in 6th grade. I think what your seeing is players that have a bit more training than others at a young age. Yes some kids may be a bit more coordinated or dad has had them working in the backyard or training with a trainer to get ahead but when that thing called puberty kicks in you really start to see who the athletes are. The kid who was a stud because he had some better field sense and skills because he started at a younger age will start to get caught up to by players in 8th maybe 9th grade because of puberty. That kid who once was bigger and faster is no longer. Seen it a ton, been coaching for over 25 years at many different levels. The kids that were better players at a young age and anointed the best players get passed by. This is not to say that the players who were good at a young age dont continue to get better and also benefit from puberty but the disparity isnt as great.

The younger teams who are well coached and have a strong core are the ones that do well. Eventually you will see the coaches make player changes because at tryout the kid that had decent stick skills but was on the small side the year before all of the sudden grew a few inches and out on some size and also committed to practicing a bit more in 7th or 8th grade.

Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Most kids do not want to play at the top level. Most kids rather play with kids that can not catch and throw. I get you . Smart. Wish you were my kids coach. i was thinking of holding my new born back as well so he can grow up to be the greatest lacrosse player at age 11. Thanks for all those great words of Wisdom.

. . . and there we have it again - the dense, "If you aren't AA, you're "bad""! smh - the simple-mindedness of some people is just stunning! It's amazing that some of you of you are full-functioning adults!

So what you’re trying to tell us (and mostly yourself), via that short novel, is that there is still a glimmer of hope for your son. Well, there probably isn’t, but if it makes you feel better, go right ahead and think that. Eye roll.

Again?? The same post, virtually copy and pasted over and over again, year after year. Gets a little redundant, no?? The problem with these statements are, year after year they are proven false. How’s it going so far? Status quoe still right? No changes at the top. But the sky is still about to fall on WP and Taz (you hope). [ChillLaxin] hum.

It all depends upon our frame of reference. In your case, you see that your little Johnny can finally catch a lacrosse ball. Compared to your frame of reference, I’m sure he appears to be a quality player. Compared to my frame of reference, he should try baseball. Understand?

If your frame of reference were widely accepted, youth sports would die. Thankfully a large majority of people have more sense, are better grounded, and are not as myopic as you proudly claim to be. It is better to let people think you are an stunad than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!

Legacy has none of that. Sorry, but it is all downhill from here.

Obviously the Legacy brand is a subpar brand in travel lacrosse. C’mon, they came to be, from a merger between Riptide and Havoc Dunedogs. They have a couple of decent teams, of which Taz is one. That’s it. On the landscape of significant travel clubs, they don’t exist. Not sure what will happen to Taz, but if my son were on the team, I would be

90% of them are 12, and have been for quite sometime. Alot of 2005 dob's on those teams.No Hate- just a fact! When you take athletic older boys hold them back in K for lacrosse and have them practice all the time,Yes the odds are quite good they will be a dominant team. WP TAZ and now Express in same conversation. The thing is, there are many really really good on age kids (2006's) that might not have gotten the nod in the past.Believe it or not 1yr still makes a big difference! Also i also know many quality kids that do NOT want to play on Taz,wp and express that could make those squads.

Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Most kids do not want to play at the top level. Most kids rather play with kids that can not catch and throw. I get you . Smart. Wish you were my kids coach. i was thinking of holding my new born back as well so he can grow up to be the greatest lacrosse player at age 11. Thanks for all those great words of Wisdom.

Just busting you buddy. They are all getting better. No doubt. Should be lots of fun the next few years.

Serious question: can anyone on Long Island give Madlax 2024 even a competitive game?

It's kind of getting boring every game year after year.

After wasting my time skimming thru all these posts I have some valuable information to share with parents who do not have kids on wp or taz 1) you will never be able to convince taz or wp parents that kids with equal or greater talent exist at this grade level and DONT play on one of these two teams 2) you can't convince these parents that although their kid may be a stud player up until this age things may change and he may not be a stud player in the yrs to come 3) any attempts to have a rational conversation or express your opinion will be quickly and decisively met with" your just jealous of our boys and their success and your angry because your kid couldn't make the team". You'll even get the one bozo who likes to chime in and brag about all the publicity their team gets. So if you keep this in mind we can minimize the wp and taz banter and have some meaningful lax conversations to look forwards to.

Solid summary of whats up. TAZ specifically has kids that are destined for B teams... Parents will be embarrassed on how they behave but hopefully the kids don't suffer. The daddy ball, favors, and 5'6 Dads that live thru little Johnny need to just go away. And yes you can wear all your Man Heel shoes you want your still 5'6.

As a parent on one of these teams, I think anyone would agree that there are players out there worthy of being on one of these teams. I would sure hope so. As I have previously posted, if you think that your son is one of those few, bring him to a tryout and find out. These teams are about getting better. If there is a player available that can help them achieve that, they will be offered a roster spot. Talk is cheap. Next August bring your son to tryout, and he will get an objective review, and possibly an opportunity to grow in this sport, second to none. And stop the BS about how you and your son like to be on bad teams. If he is truly a top player, you’re wasting your time, his time and your money.

Lol. You guys are too funny. Not a Taz Parent, but they sure do take a lot of punches on here. Btw. It’s comments like this that start the jealous comments flowing, because this guy is most definitely jealous of Taz big time. If you can’t see that this is an extremely talented team, that will always be a top team (yes, there are and will be others), you aren’t qualified to post anything on this website.

Well said: You are wasting your time trying to rationalize with these parents. Like taliking to a liberal. A lot of parents are blind to the truth: there are 4 teams that your kid could tryout for WP; TAZ, express, igloo : on the top A level. Make your choice bring your kid down to those tryouts . Those teams play the top teams of the age group, here and out of state: FACT . If you are not playing at the A Level for those teams your kid is B player . . Just a fact. Just saying those are the teams your kid should be striving for. If what you are saying is true, that your child is an A player and plays on a B team because you have some personal beef with these teams , you are only hurting him in the end. So think carefully . Only talking about Long Island teams.

There is Madlax 2024 and then there is everybody else

Madlax is average. Take the 13 year old off and they are a B team. Enough with madlax. Seriously that kid is exceptional. I if he is on age great then he is the best player in the age group. As a team madlax is average without him. FACT. They are not a great team they have a great played.

Kid is an 11 year old in 6th grade. The attackman is great too
Stop hating on kids just because they own your kids.

Def not 11 . Go to school with him. Everyone knows. madlax so will be irrelevant. You will see!!

The big kid on Madlax 2024 is the entire team. The kid doesn't even try until the game is on the line, and then he always finds a way to win the game. Without him that team is nothing. In Delaware, he had all three of the overtime winners. In the semifinal game, he scored every goal in the second half. I think he had 7 goals. Without him, Madlax would have gone 0-3 against LI that day. I have my doubts whether the kid is on age. But if he is, he is definitely the best kid in the 2024 class.

"If he is truly a top player, you’re wasting your time, his time and your money." OK - another dense variant on the "if you're not AA, your're B" (or you're wasting money, or your kids should give up, blah, blah!) Good thing nobody lives in your false dichotomy fantasy world, but, rather, the real one where there are many shades of grey! As for trying out for these two clubs, there are plenty of kids that would never want to do it for geographic reasons alone - that's before a multitude of other legit reasons to not try out come into play! Stop thinking you and these teams live in the center of the universe, 'cause it just ain't so!

Actually, they do, jealous Daddy. And you have known that for a very long time, Isnt that right, B team daddy. For some reason, that bothers you. A lot! Unfortunately your son is destined for Lacrosse pergatory, playing out his lacrosse days on really bad Nassau travel teams. And there is nothing you or your long winded, blow hard essays can do about that.

Seriously. Did you play the game? Answer: No you did not. Anybody that understands the game knows that the tall hold back is not exceptional. He is slow, lacks effort and has above average skills, at best. If not for his size due to advanced age, he would be 100% irrelevant, which is what he soon will be as the other kids catch up. This team will be casting him aside like yesterday’s newspaper, in the next 2 years. Fact.

Truth is your argument makes no Sense. How do you know your son is a AA player. IF he plays on a b team , against other B players. See the Point. If he is that good. what would be the reason for you to keep him on a lower level team. There are 4 teams he could play for. Depending where you live. So stop with the excuses. Its like saying, my kid is smarter than everyone and he could be in all honor classes but he chooses to learn at an Average level. See that's [ChillLaxin] dense you sound.

Ok Suffolk trash. Over here in Nassau our B players will keep taking those Ivy spots. You and junior can divide up all those $20s from his shooting clinics.
[/quote]

Wow. So you have conceded that there is no hope for Nassau lacrosse players and that the status quo will remain the status quo. Nothing I don’t know, but I must say after reading all of the garbage on here from all the B Nassau dads, I’m surprised you would admit that on here.

Seriously. Did you play the game? Answer: No you did not. Anybody that understands the game knows that the tall hold back is not exceptional. He is slow, lacks effort and has above average skills, at best. If not for his size due to advanced age, he would be 100% irrelevant, which is what he soon will be as the other kids catch up. This team will be casting him aside like yesterday’s newspaper, in the next 2 years. Fact.

that’s a little harsh . The boy is a good player for this age group : let’s leave it at that. Someone really trying to stir the pot.

If you find reality harsh, ok it’s harsh. But fact. Another person that never played and knows nothing about the game. Must be one of the moms. Let’s hope so.

You'll even get the one bozo who likes to chime in and brag about all the publicity their team gets. So if you keep this in mind we can minimize the wp and taz banter and have some meaningful lax conversations to look forwards to.

Dude. Read between the lines. This guy is on here to hear himself talk. That’s it. His kid has no chance of making a decent team because he stinks and the guy knows it. Don’t waste your time on this [ChillLaxin].

Why do you losers NOT cite any evidence that he's a holdback?

Because he's not. On grade and on age. You just can't handle that he and his team OWNS LONG ISLAND.

This Madlax 2024 team is going to own Long Island all the way through HS. And your kids and your carports can't handle it.

I've lived on LI for 47 years and I've never seen a carport. Think you're thinking of Florida knucklehead.

Don't waste your time on this imbecile. He has the brain capacity of a 6 year old. Can't believe an adult actually behaves the way this person does. Continually brings this website to new depths.

YOU REALLY CAN NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE

You know, this boy is right. Can’t tell the difference between this preadolescent and the dad that acts like one. EXACTLY the same juvenile, senseless posts. Except the boy has a good excuse. He’s 11 (or 13) as the case may be.

It kills you guy that our Madlax team has zero holdbacks and everyone is on grade and age. All you can do is cry and make up lies.

Is this the Dad that acts like the pre-adolescent or the real pre-adolescent 13 year kid? You two are like twins. Can't ever tell you apart! Give it up already. It's not a secret. Never was a secret. If it makes you feel any better, we know that you guys aren't the only ones. You are in the same boat as the rest of the MD teams. We're good! No hard feelings here. Good luck at the WSYL... oooops! Forgot, they don't allow hold back teams... my bad!! Yeah, I guess you guys would really stink with out your hold backs. Can you imagine?? I mean, you lose to B teams like Looneys, WITH your holdbacks. Can you imagine how bad your team would be with out them?? Yikes!

Dum dum. No holdbacks. If you are going to keep saying that, provide your proof. Nobody from the Mid-Atlantic goes to Denver just like we never went to Dicks' in FL. Total money grab and waste of time and money.

Madlax owns you. That statement is at least true.

If you played them you would know. He’s the tallest kid on the field. Guessing he’s 6” or more taller than the average player this age. You know, the size of a tall 13 year old. Get it???

Actually, most of us could care less. WP beats your sorry Team, 9 out of 10 times. Most games are a yawn. That team isn’t even on the radar, when it comes to competitive teams. Just another team, before we get to the championship and hopefully get to play a decent team. Like last years Fab 8, when we had a competitive game with 91 MD in the finals, while Madlax was driving home to VA with their tail between their legs. Again. Again. And again. Remember??

Why do you keep stalking this Long Island board??? You are the only person not from Long Island that posts on this board. And you stalk it, daily. Many times a day. Day and night. What is wrong with you? You are one sick individual. Nobody cares about Madlax. Get a hobby. Get a life.

Why do you keep stalking this Long Island board??? You are the only person not from Long Island that posts on this board. And you stalk it, daily. Many times a day. Day and night. What is wrong with you? You are one sick individual. Nobody cares about Madlax. Get a hobby. Get a life.

Here's the answer to your question--- because it's dumb dumbs like you that respond to this kids taunts, he is purposely trying to get a rise out of the half brain parents on this site and he's quite successful. So kudos to you madlax kid, your parents have taught you well and until the dumb dumbs learn to stop responding to you, you have free reign to torment the long island dads as you see fit, or at least until your bedtime.

Is this the Dad that acts like the pre-adolescent or the real pre-adolescent 13 year kid? You two are like twins. Can't ever tell you apart! Give it up already. It's not a secret. Never was a secret. If it makes you feel any better, we know that you guys aren't the only ones. You are in the same boat as the rest of the MD teams. We're good! No hard feelings here. Good luck at the WSYL... oooops! Forgot, they don't allow hold back teams... my bad!! Yeah, I guess you guys would really stink with out your hold backs. Can you imagine?? I mean, you lose to B teams like Looneys, WITH your holdbacks. Can you imagine how bad your team would be with out them?? Yikes!

Which MadLax player is the "big kid" who everyone suspects is a holdback and is "the" team?

If you played them you would know. He’s the tallest kid on the field. Guessing he’s 6” or more taller than the average player this age. You know, the size of a tall 13 year old. Get it???

I asked because with a little sleuthing you could probably actually find out the kids age - Madlax has the team's roster right on their website!

You are partially correct.
1. You ain’t that smart. You have no interest in responding simply because you are a LI B team dad, which means you have no dog in the fight, not because you are so smart. Sorry!
2. You are partially correct about this being a kid. There is a kid and a sicko dad doing these posts, and if you were paying attention, you would realize that. But since your kid doesn’t play this team, you aren’t paying attention.
3. You’re right. The only way to get rid of the sicko dad is to ignore him, no matter how annoying he is. That I will be doing.

Why does it matter if Madlax has holdbacks?? The big middie and attackman are not better that the starting attackmen or middies on the WP. Let them play the age game, it has not done anything for their success. Also with the WSYL, obviously the holdback situation stops them from going. I love the posts that says "Madlax doesn't go because parents don't want to spend the $ and waste time there" but in another post they post that where they live is one of the wealthiest places to live in America. C'mon man how does that make sense??? And as far as business is concerned.. and believe me that's what travel lacrosse is, Madlax should be going to WSYL for business purposes alone, but CAN'T. So play the age game, win some tournaments and skip WSYL if that what makes you happy. But in the end the success rate has not gone up for this team.

Correct. There are a ton of posts on here about ML only because the same Juvenile ML dad (and an occasional ML child) stirs the pot, nonstop. If the guy didn’t stalk this board, most people reading this would never have heard of this team, and justifiably so. The reality is, WP is better than this team, across the board, as indicated by their FAR superior record against this team. The top 2 players on that team, would be 2nd string on WP. Fact. It’s not even a conversation. They have older kids. So what. WP plays up all the time.

Big 4 HHH....wasn't that the last matchup?

Actually, most of us could care less. WP beats your sorry Team, 9 out of 10 times. Most games are a yawn. That team isn’t even on the radar, when it comes to competitive teams. Just another team, before we get to the championship and hopefully get to play a decent team. Like last years Fab 8, when we had a competitive game with 91 MD in the finals, while Madlax was driving home to VA with their tail between their legs. Again. Again. And again. Remember??

Who won the last game? Who is the best 2024 in the nation? Who has zero holdbacks and everyone on age and on grade?

Madlax 2024. And none of our moms have [ChillLaxin] stamps, and none of the dads have leg tats.

Why would we fly to Denver where there is 1-2 good teams and the rest crap? If it was by far the best event, of course teams in the Mid Atlantic would go.

Instead, we go to tournaments within a 60 minute driving distance, and the competition is 60x better than Denver. Funny how you guys spend that money chasing a trophy. If you didn't go, you could save up and buy another Trans Am.

What towns are entering the PAL league, this Spring? Or, which towns are not? At this age, the numbers start to dwindle, as the kids get older. Anybody got some strong numbers?

My town has no issues getting kids to play PAL through 6th grade; the struggle starts in 7th and 8th grades, but that is to be expected with the boys all playing school ball. But even then, we usually still have teams for the MS boys, and they largely just show up to play games on Sundays - no practices once MS starts theirs.

Do most teams split their teams into an A and a B team? Or split and distribute the talent evenly? Thoughts on both methods? Is anyone combining grades, and creating A and B teams?

How many kids you have at the 6th grade? Compare that to 2nd grade. How many less/more do you have now compared to then?

All BS aside... who should we be looking for as the up and coming travel teams on LI? Besides Taz, WP and let's put Express in there... who looks like they could be a legitimate threat this year? Igloo?? I hear good and bad about them. So many people like to say there is an "A" level on LI, while many people say there is no such thing on LI, only B teams and below. Truly, I don't think a lot of people have a clue about that next tier of teams. I know that I don't. Let's try to be realistic. Can someone rank the next 5 teams?

A typical secure, intelligent, confident man, or women in your case, with nothing to have to prove or refute would laugh at this kids posts and feel no need to respond, they would let their kids play on the field do the talking, and yes I am that smart, you not so much, and please in your clever response dont' demote my kid down to a C team level...

First off, we're a small town. 6th grade has been a problem because we have had 25+, pretty much the same number since their first year - some faces have swapped here and there, but numbers have been consistent. But, that's too many for one team, not enough to split into two. It's been hard for all of the travel players who play PAL because they either are all out together, and then when they come out, the talent level falls off a cliff, or they get mixed in with the other players and those players can't throw and catch well enough for those boys, although I have to say, they do it and don't complain, so good for them. But as parents, it's hard to watch the games because of the unevenness of it all, either way.

Madlax has dropped more games to the WP than they won. Didn't the WP send Madlax home without a win from Laxfest as well? There is nothing to argue

Wow. Small town that consistently gets 25 kids. That's pretty good. Everyone is in the same boat, in regards to your travel kids/town kids scenario. Some of these town kids, after 7 or 8 years, still can't catch the ball. Big-time difference. Have you tried combining with the grade either below or above, and creating A and B teams that way. Sounds like you could create three teams that way.

That's very unfortunate, as that system works best for all players. All teams that I am aware of do A & B. Typically, the only time that doesn't happen, from my experience, are the teams that are run by Dads with B team kids.

—so then just have a talk with your son. PAL is a chance for good players to become a better leader, coach on the field and teaches them to deal with adversity. How does he react when a kid drops a ball? Does he [ChillLaxin] and moan or pat his buddy on the back and get in the hole and play defense?? Look for ways to make the experience positive, because it is different than Club but still can be beneficial

So nobody on LI can challenge Madlax? Sad.

He plays up for town? Highly suspect. Town ball is meant to play with your friends, the friends your age.

Truly, I don't think a lot of people have a clue about that next tier of teams. I know that I don't. Let's try to be realistic. Can someone rank the next 5 teams?

Seriously, besides maybe Igloo, I don't think there are any "next in line". The rest are B teams.

Wow all B teams. What a compliment. Thought they were C and D teams.

And compared to Madlax, Igloo is a B team.

Were any of the boys on Mad lax born in 2006?

I don't know why such disdain for madlax 2024, my 13 y/o kid plays on the team and we get to play for free, as matter of fact all the 13 y/o get to play for free, they are a very generous organization.

QUESTION? I know it happens sometimes but How come TAZ and WP don't play against 2023 teams during all these Summer Tourney's? It would do them good to play some kids that could run with them. What do they get out of smacking Express, Igloo, TB, Outlaws and other A/B teams around. Everyone in 2024 knows they are the best but I could never quite understand why the organizations wouldn't want them playing better competition or why the parents wouldn't want them in more competitive games. I know when I watch my kids play a good 5-4 win is 10x better than a 14-1 win.

Yeah. The holdbacks get to play against kids half their size which makes them think they are really good players, which of course they arent. Great confidence builder for them and free ride for parents. Win/win!! As long as it doesn’t bother you that you are labeled cheaters in 11 year old lacrosse. Guess it doesn’t bother them.

You could be right. All I know is, if the next tier of teams can’t stay within 15 goals of the next level of teams, that in between tier OBVIOUSLY doesn’t exist, no matter how much the daddy’s cry for attention. But feel free to keep wining.

??? the WP have been playing up since 2nd grade. Only when there is competition do they play on age. Do your research

Dude. News Flash. WP has been playing up since second grade. Every year. Played up multiple times this past fall. When ever a tourney is determined to have a weak 2024 bracket. You must be new to this site, because this is not a secret. Taz chooses not to do this. Simply a coaches decision, although not a good decision, in my opinion.

WP plays up all the time. Always have. They don’t play any LI teams other than Taz, express and maybe Igloo. None. No B teams, as you say. Not one. If WP is in a tourney with inferior teams, they automatically play up. Where did you get your info? It’s incorrect.

That's just not true. Perhaps sometimes they play up but they played in a bunch of 2024 Tourneys last summer. As most other 2024 stayed around to watch Taz beat WP in all the Championships

I think you are a couple of years too late. Taz owned WP for a couple of years, winning 4 or 5 straight (1 goal games), but last year was different. WP won 2 of 3 (1 goal games again).

It’s a simple concept. Read the post. Then respond to what you read. Following so far? No where does it say WP plays up 100% of the time. Read it again. And nice try at the fake news. Taz dropped 2 of 3 to WP last year. Btw. Taz is a 2024 team. So no. WP did not play up during that game. Duh. Thinking you might just want to start over, with that post. A real mess

Is there literally a rule on BOTC somewhere that some stunad has to post a "if you're not AA, you're B (C, or D)"?? The only thing more reliable than that is the Dems spouting DNC talking points in response to . . . everything!

You stunad. We live in DC (thank God), not LI. Advanced kids here play up all the time in rec (not "town"). Just like 8th graders on LI being allowed to play on HS teams. He is on age and on grade. The reason you cannot provide any proof of him being otherwise is because he's not. His birthday and grade is given to every tournament director. If he wasn't a 2024 and was older, you don't think any of those tournaments would leak it out?

LOL. You can shut up now.

FYI, no tournament(s) outside the WYSL asks for any players' info - it just doesn't happen. There is almost zero governance in youth lacrosse, to the the point that you could register a team in tourneys for a completely younger graduation age bracket and no one would otherwise know. So, there's nothing behind that fallback of yours. And frankly, considering every other team in the MD area consistently has holdbacks, I find it hard to believe any team in any major club program down there is absent of this as you claim - MadLax 2024 literally would then be the ONLY one! It might be true, but no one will ever believe it, and if so, you can blame all of the rest of the mid-Atlantic for that well justified cynicism. (And being proud of living in DC - LOL! There couldn't be a more out of touch place in the US than there. Good luck with that!)

100% correct. Lacrosse is a parent run sport. Always has been and most likely will remain that way. All the big clubs, tournaments are run by a parent or a collective of parents. When little johnny graduates and goes to Nassau Community College another parent will step in.

But, as a parent I appreciate all the effort these people put into the sport. Some kids eventually will do great things in lacrosse, some may be glad it's all over and wonder why they spent all their weekends growing up with younger kids.

USA Lacrosse oversight is a joke.

Not sure I am following the parent aspect of this, particularly the NCC comment - how is there a parent element to the NCC coach(es) or any other college coach? That they themselves might be a parent of someone somewhere? Both of my sons' travel teams have no parents involved in the coaching of their respective teams; that is not to say that their program doesn't have other ages where there are parents involved, but overall, there are less than more of that situation.

Otherwise, I agree that USL is a joke - they could easily borrow pretty much everything from USAH, and make themselves effective and the sport so much more than it is today, without much effort!

Just noticed Taz will be at LaxClash and Spring Jam, sure WP will be at least one of them. What age group will these fine young lacrosse players be playing in 2023 or 2024? Maybe Taz wants redemption on TB hehehehehehehelolololololololollol TB beats Taz

Dude. News Flash. WP has been playing up since second grade. Every year. Played up multiple times this past fall. When ever a tourney is determined to have a weak 2024 bracket. You must be new to this site, because this is not a secret. Taz chooses not to do this. Simply a coaches decision, although not a good decision, in my opinion.

In the words of our nations leader "FAKE NEWS"

It drives you nuts that good teams won’t even consider playing your sons, C team, doesn’t it Daddy? Eating you alive!

It amazes me how completely out of touch some people are on what is happening at this grade level on LI. Apparently the notion of playing up is out of your realm of consciousness, in your C Team world. Wake up to reality daddy. It’s happening and happens a lot. For 5 years now.

You stunad. We live in DC (thank God), not LI. Advanced kids here play up all the time in rec (not "town"). Just like 8th graders on LI being allowed to play on HS teams. He is on age and on grade. The reason you cannot provide any proof of him being otherwise is because he's not. His birthday and grade is given to every tournament director. If he wasn't a 2024 and was older, you don't think any of those tournaments would leak it out?

LOL. You can shut up now.

There’s nothing to leak dumba$$. All of you have holdbacks. ML just has more than most.

I have a challenge for you. Make a case for why you think there are A teams on LI. Here’s my case. If a team can’t stay within 10-15 goals of the top teams, then they are not a “next tier” team. Hard for anyone to argue with that. In this case, the next tier would be A teams. Other than maybe Igloo, I don’t think there is a LI team that can do that. Therefore there are no A teams. I await your logical, well thought out rebuttal.

you should really get your facts right before you go hurling baseless claims. it has been posted on this website numerous times before that the madlax middie plays rec with his older brother. older brother is 14 (2022). the kid in question is 12. the 12 yr old has played up with his older brother since kindergarten. it is part of the reason that he is the player that he is today. you guys are worse than trump and the birthers. you should let it go and give the kids props. great kid. glad that my kid has been lucky enough to be on the same team.

Of course they do. As the original poster states, what sense would it make beating every team by 15+ goals?? Answer. None. In many of these tourneys, there is no other logical choice, than to play up. The problem with that is, most of the competition there ain’t so good either.

Funny. The owner of Madlax is quoted on the 2024 Team page saying the ultimate goal of the team is to beat their nemesis, Team91 (Wolfpack). I can understand wanting to beat a team that routinely embarrasses the ownership of the organization by serving up lopsided defeats to his club, especially after he loads them up with free-ride holdbacks, while the nemesis plays with 100% on-age players. Yeah. That must be embarrassing! But, maybe he should set his sights on a more realistic goal, such as beating the local B teams, like Looneys. Yeah. That makes a lot more sense. Regardless, like the owner knows, WP is way out of their league. Time to lower the bar. A lot!

When WP plays up they play b/c teams this is not fake news

Here’s an idea. Elevate WP/Taz to AAA teams. Igloo becomes an AA team. The rest of the teams, that are now B teams, become A teams Hey. That could work! You B Team daddy’s down with that?? Win/win/win!!

Maybe both of those teams have more talent than even what would normally constitute an AA team - maybe they are THAT good.

You stunad. We live in DC (thank God), not LI. Advanced kids here play up all the time in rec (not "town"). Just like 8th graders on LI being allowed to play on HS teams. He is on age and on grade.

LOL. You can shut up now.

FYI, no tournament(s) outside the WYSL asks for any players' info - it just doesn't happen. There is almost zero governance in youth lacrosse, to the the point that you could register a team in tourneys for a completely younger graduation age bracket and no one would otherwise know. So, there's nothing behind that fallback of yours. And frankly, considering every other team in the MD area consistently has holdbacks, I find it hard to believe any team in any major club program down there is absent of this as you claim - MadLax 2024 literally would then be the ONLY one! It might be true, but no one will ever believe it, and if so, you can blame all of the rest of the mid-Atlantic for that well justified cynicism. (And being proud of living in DC - LOL! There couldn't be a more out of touch place in the US than there. Good luck with that!)

Wrong. Every tournament asks for a roster sheet, especially the youth ones. The club directors gives names, birthdates, grades, etc. Shut up, stunad.

Have to love the taz people pounding their chest about 4h grade
In the last the last 12 months they lost to Wolfpack 2x, madlax, team 91 MD, eclipse and TB
I bet every time they lost those teams were all loaded with older kids
Might be time to move them down the ranks

Beat 91 MD and Eclipse and TB. lost in ot by 1 goal MADlax . Thanks for stalking the team. The only parents that have problems are the ones who keep talking about TAZ non stop. Teams do lose from time to time.

OK.. TB or True BooooooooHoooooooo as no chance against ANYONE, they lost like 15-0 against TAZ and did not even get a shot off.... Stop!!
Express has a better chance.

Tazzies dadzies are VERY influential with the coaches so those dadzies do not want to play up because they are on the smaller size of the curve.(coaches kids are small and the influential dadzies are small also) Most of the TAZ parents would like to play up for the competition and moving the ball faster makes them better players overall. The coaches choose not to play up regardless of what the majority of players parents think or want to do. Just like MD teams have no holdbacks it will never change for Tazzies playing up.

WP is doing the right thing for the kids that are on that team and it will show in the long run, middle school ball they will be playing with older kids for the rest of their school days. Time will only tell.

My kids's club never have asked me for my boy's grade - they might assumed it based upon the team they chose to try out for within their organization, but there was zero request and therefore check. If they submitted any info along these lines to a tournament, it would be based upon no real data! Let's not even get into the idea that someone - anyone - would have to submit proof of a grade - what exactly would that be??!

How do you play with older boys in MS?? Most school programs have separate 7th & 8th teams, don't they?? (Our class C school has separate teams, and they play most other schools in our conference with separate teams.)

Taz will be at Lax Clash and Spring Jam this year, pretty sure WP will be at least one of them. What age group will these fine young lacrosse players be playing in 2023 or 2024? Maybe Taz stays in 2024 to get redemption on TB hehehehehehehelolololololololollol TB beats Taz.

Oh really? Since you claim this is not fake news, maybe you can qualify your statement by enlightening all of as to what B and C teams they have played. Hmmm. I’m sure I’ll be waiting a long time for that response, because you, jealous C team daddy, are FAKE NEWS.

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TEAM SMITHTOWN 2024

You stunad. We live in DC (thank God), not LI. Advanced kids here play up all the time in rec (not "town"). Just like 8th graders on LI being allowed to play on HS teams. He is on age and on grade. The reason you cannot provide any proof of him being otherwise is because he's not. His birthday and grade is given to every tournament director. If he wasn't a 2024 and was older, you don't think any of those tournaments would leak it out?

LOL. You can shut up now.

FYI, no tournament(s) outside the WYSL asks for any players' info - it just doesn't happen. There is almost zero governance in youth lacrosse, to the the point that you could register a team in tourneys for a completely younger graduation age bracket and no one would otherwise know. So, there's nothing behind that fallback of yours. And frankly, considering every other team in the MD area consistently has holdbacks, I find it hard to believe any team in any major club program down there is absent of this as you claim - MadLax 2024 literally would then be the ONLY one! It might be true, but no one will ever believe it, and if so, you can blame all of the rest of the mid-Atlantic for that well justified cynicism. (And being proud of living in DC - LOL! There couldn't be a more out of touch place in the US than there. Good luck with that!)

Wrong. Every tournament asks for a roster sheet, especially the youth ones. The club directors gives names, birthdates, grades, etc. Shut up, stunad.

[ChillLaxin]All tournaments in North America, except for the WSYL, are grade-based, not age-based, because the tourneys are owned by greedy clubs like Madlax, who all benefit from holdbacks. So, other than the WSYL, no tourney cares how many cheating holdbacks Madlax or anyone else has. Again, the only exception being the WSYL, who won't let Madlax in, because of all your hold backs. They are age-based. Everyone else, grade based. Are you following??!!! So when you say that you turn in your rosters with DOB's on it, you are not only lying, since as a parent you have nothing to do with it, but nobody cares!! You sound like a complete fool. No one cares about Madlax or your holdbacks, You're a second rate team, with or without all of your holdbacks. Do something productive with your time. Focus on competing with Looney's, and quit the JEALOUS fantasy about ever competing with real teams.

you should really get your facts right before you go hurling baseless claims. it has been posted on this website numerous times before that the madlax middie plays rec with his older brother. older brother is 14 (2022). the kid in question is 12. the 12 yr old has played up with his older brother since kindergarten. it is part of the reason that he is the player that he is today. you guys are worse than trump and the birthers. you should let it go and give the kids props. great kid. glad that my kid has been lucky enough to be on the same team.

Sad, sad, sad. Crazed adults cyperstalking and cyperbullying a kid. Way to go!! You confirmed that a 2024 kid is 12. Great detective work. You must be proud. Even if the kid was older (which he isn't), at what point did you think you were engaging in normal behavior?? Are you really googling someone else's kid? I hope someone reports you.

I don't want to repeat here what has already been said but just go back and read what has been written about the kid. Normally I would ignore but when an adult posts insults about a kid, it crosses the line in my book. Terrible reflection on the Team 91 program.

Very funny, little boy. Everyone knows Express has never beaten or even tied an AA team. Now, it's time for your bed time.

You know, people on this website are very interesting. There are basically no posts whatsoever on this website, for literally days on end, until someone posts a comment about about either Taz or WP... then all heck breaks lose!
Just like today. Listen to yourselves!! Read these posts! Why are you people so infatuated with a bunch of little kids?? Just because they are extremely talented at a silly sport, you give them rock star status?!! You talk about them like they are Tom Brady, only without the super model! If I were a smart entrepreneur, I'd find a way to make money off you people and this phenomenon. Anybody got any idea's? T-shirts maybe??

Son, go to bed, it's late. But, with all due respect to our Tazzie brothers, you are correct, until proven otherwise.

These 3 top teams are all made up of boys born in 2005. Good 05's. but make no mistake 75% of these boys have dob's in 05!

Are we really back to that lame topic again, dummy?. First, Express isn’t in the conversation. The inclusion of that Team gave you away for what you are. A clueless pot stirer. As for the two AA teams, have you looked at either of these teams?? Answer: no you have not because your sons C team has never even been at the same tournament as either of these teams, let alone ever actually play one of them. Both of these teams are routinely criticized as being VERY small. Most of their impact players are about 4’7”, 75 lbs. Doesn’t quite support your dumb assertion now does it?! If you want to stir the pot, I get it, stir the pot with BS. But put out some credible BS material that at least sounds plausible. Do some research first!! But the real point is, that goes back to the point of the original post, you are still talking about them aren’t you? Can’t help it, right?! Want to buy a Taz/WP AA-Teams t-shirt? If you want it signed, that’s extra.

Actually, not "nuf" said. You want to go back 2 years, in 11 year old lacrosse, when WP was running regular rotations of ALL their players, while Taz played 12, for the entire game?? I got an idea, let's go back further than that, when Taz was about 0-15 vs WP. Based on your logic, that should work for you, right?? We'll see what happens this year, not taking anything away from Taz... a tremendous bunch of players and parents, but the fact is... until proven otherwise, the Pack is on top of the 2024 pack.

How come TAZ or WP wont answer what age group they are going to play in Spring Jam and Lax Clash? Does it throw away their theory how they always play up except on Long Island?

My Kid not on C team.Really! Express should and will be mentioned in there.I watched as they went in ot with Taz. and they will beat them this year. Its ok sky wont fall. I promise. Its not as big a world as you think. I don't care about size of kids. Most of the dads on the sidelines are not that big.Its about maturity at this age! so YES I am certain that 75% of the top 3 teams have DOB's in 05. Including yours.

Your son is obviously not on one of the top 3 teams, so what's he on... a "LI A Team"? Translation, B team. There are no A teams on LI. Based on your frame of reference, which is your kid, and his awful team, I'm sure that the skill level of these kids looks like 2023 kids to you. However, that is not saying much, based on what you are comparing them to. Truth is, many of the kids also look like top HS kids, skill-wise, but guess what? They aren't HS kids, either. At least one of the teams has absolutely no 05 birthdays. I know that as fact. But keep throwing out all of the flamboyant lies, C team daddy. We understand that you are trying desperately to pull the elite players down to your sons level, to make you feel better. Happens to Tom Brady all of the time. But I have to tell you, in doing so you really portray yourself and your son as big time losers.

Your post doesn't make sense. And this topic has already been completely covered, at nauseum. Can you read?? But I will try to decipher your post, and attempt an answer. As previously posted on this board, Taz does not play up. Following so far?? WP waits to see if there are play-worthy opponents in the 2024 bracket, before deciding whether to play up or not. The infatuation with Taz and WP continues... Isn't there anything else going on in the world of 2024 lacrosse?? Anything at all?!! Apparently not. And we go back to days of a dead board, until Taz-WP topics come up again...

What ever happened to the Express dads bragging about all their new holdbacks? You guys claim to be the Madlax of LI. Holdback heaven. Where you been hiding? Haven’t heard a bold prediction in quite some time from you boys.

If the same people didn't post, guess what... there would be no website. Nobody posts anything on this board other than a few people, because no one else has anything to say, including you. Nothing. You people are as dull as it gets. So stop being a complainer in life and start being a doer. Add some value to the board, instead of continuing to be a wall flower at a Middle School dance. Do something! Ask the girl to dance already!!

You people are as dull as it gets. So stop being a complainer in life and start being a doer. Add some value to the board, instead of continuing to be a wall flower at a Middle School dance. Do something! Ask the girl to dance already!!

It’s the same posts now as it was in October. Holdbacks, whose an A,B,C team. Blah blah. It’s old and stupid.

Just like today. Listen to yourselves!! Read these posts! Why are you people so infatuated with a bunch of little kids?? Just because they are extremely talented at a silly sport, you give them rock star status?!! You talk about them like they are Tom Brady, only without the super model! If I were a smart entrepreneur, I'd find a way to make money off you people and this phenomenon. Anybody got any idea's? T-shirts maybe??

How about “Make youth lacrosse great again” says the AA dads. t shirts and hats

More pot stirring from the Team 91 nut job. Not someone that you want to hang out with or expose your kid to. He is a blight for the Team 91 program. It is a shame.

I heard at Dunkin Donuts that Igloo B handled Igloo A yesterday. Good for them.

I heard the same thing, but my info came from the guy at McDonald's...

Legacy crushed 91 today. Same old thing

Wow I guess 91 is a B team. They got blown out by legacy.

Come on.

I would call it BYE BYE. Whatever WP did all Fall didn't work. The joke is on the WP wacko. Maybe he will shut up for a change.

Yup. Taz clearly the better box team yesterday. Congrats to Taz. Well deserved. You know what else is clear? The rest of you are still the jealous C team Daddy’s. And the AA teams are still the AA teams. And YOU, C team daddy’s are STILL talking about them, at 10:00 on a Sunday night. Pathetic.

If any other team gets doubled in score, its called a C team. I guess 91 doesn't have an AA team at this age. B team at best.

You already missed it. The guys running the lax clubs have already figured it out and become wealthy off of these people reliving their youth through their children.

Please stop all the none sense. It was a good game. the 2 hold backs are just too much to overcome.

always an excuse when you lose, Typical. You should have just left it at good game. Typical sore loser.

child from Taz walked by me yesterday in CT and he honest to god looked in every way possible like he was 14 years old , im not complaining, or pointing the finger , but that boy looked like a young man and played like one as well. when you have that kind of size and strength carrying the ball down the field, it helps, that said, watching 91 work together as a team is pretty fun, i am surprised the score was so lopsided in the end

The two big boys definitely created matchup problems for WP. The game plan worked. Keep one or both on the field at all times, while WP subbed all players evenly. Not an excuse. It is what it is. And, not saying Taz coaches shouldn't have done that, afterall, "we play to win the game." Class act by both the Taz players and parents, yesterday. Will the field game yield a different result? Only time will tell. In the mean time... nice job Taz. ~WP Dad

I heard Arby's has the meats.

Wow. If that’s the case, Long Island has a whole bunch of Z TEAMS. Does Z team daddy sound better to you than C team daddy?? Either way...keep right on talking about our boys. Love the attention! Flattering!!

TAZ Dad here. Great game by all the boys. 16-8 over WP is impressive they are excellent lacrosse players. A flag has been planted that all the 2024 teams should be striving to take. Disagree strongly about the class act part of the WP Parents. I have never heard a group of parents bad mouth other peoples kids on their own team the way they did. There is a crack in the ice at WP and they are going to be in for a long season if the parents on that team don't pull it together. I walk up and down the field during the games. The defense parents talking bad about the attack, the attack parents talking about the defense. It was sad to see. They do not lose with class and had a lot to say about their coaches as well.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny C team daddy, but your impersonation of a Taz daddy is very transparent and didn’t fool anyone. But you can’t stop talking about WP and Taz, can you?? The obsession continues... Slime ball.

I suggest you take a look in the mirror sweetheart because I am a TAZ Dad and you are in a bubble if you did not see or hear the things that your tight knit the WP family were saying.

Hey Team 91 Nut Job, remember these words: "Thank you so much for coming to our thread WP guy and volunteering all of your endless excuses for your kids getting their butts completely kicked this weekend. I know how stupid you must feel, after all of the stalking and bad mouthing you have done on this thread. But, we are very tired of all your excuses... (by the way you forgot to blame the refs... that's always a great one... you can use it next time). Losers make excuses, but we have already been over that haven't we! Sorry, though, no time to chat with you anymore since WP has now dropped to B status. Rumor has it, some of your players are talking to Express, so you may want to do the same, and eat a little crow while you're at it! HA HA HA HA!!!

. Ha. Ha. Very funny C team daddy, but your impersonation of a Taz daddy is very transparent and didn’t fool anyone. But you can’t stop talking about WP and Taz, can you?? The obsession continues... Slime ball.

After the beatdown Taz gave to wp my guess is nobody will be talking about your wp anymore, they apparently have become irrelevant. So shut your hole slime ball, the only enjoyment you'll be getting these days is looking at the collection of tshirts you have in your kids trophy case and remembering the good ole glory days

Are we taliking about Box lacrosse?? Lol. What is wrong with you people?? Is this Canada?? Do you think box lax means anything? Or the outcome of any of these games? First it’s Taz parents taking about their own teams kids, now it’s the WP? Pretty sad people. You all sound like whining children who don’t have the guts to confront each other. You all act like you will be on the teams forever, wake up people. You’ll learn eventually that if and when a better kid comes along he will take your boys spot in a second, but you guys keep ripping each other and defending your “teams” colors. Ha. And as far as &$?t stirrers it’s apparent you don’t have a kid on either of these teams so stop wasting your lives on a lacrosse website. Both teams are great and it has gone back and forth since 2nd grade, get over it already.

Ok C team daddy. Whatever you say. But the incoherent sentences totally gave you away. Good luck at Battle of the B’s! I have a feeling your team is going to need it!

What’s funny is , you brag about playing up , but cry and blame holdbacks when you lose. TAZ was the better team that day . Learn to deal with it.

Ok C team daddy. Whatever you say. But the incoherent sentences totally gave you away. Good luck at Battle of the B’s! I have a feeling your team is going to need it!

Ok WP mommy, now that your kids team has been reduced to a C team and no one will be talking about them anymore, except how much they have fallen, you can now see that shrink you've been putting off for all your those yrs..

LOL. You people are too funny.

Taz loses to TB two months ago, and the the hordes of jealous daddys proclaim that Taz's reign as a top AA team is officially over, and they now will live out their days relegated to B team status. And, it's all because of the internal strife within the ranks of the parents, that killed the team, like a cancer.

Two months later, WP loses to quite possibly the best team in the country (if WP isn't), in Legacy-Taz, in a sport which barely resembles the sport that we are suppose to be talking about, in field lacrosse. Once again, the haters come out in packs, and proclaim the same fate, that they bestowed on Taz, two months previous...

WP's "reign as a top AA team is officially over, and they now will live out their days relegated to B team status. And, it's all because of the internal strife within the ranks of the parents, that killed the team, like a cancer"... blah, blah, blah...

Kinda like a broken record, no??

Losing... it happens, even to the greatest of teams, from time to time. There is no shame in losing, especially to a great team, like Taz.

Think about it: If a great team loses to another great team, guess what? Both teams are STILL GREAT TEAMS! In contrast, how's your sons team doing???

You pot stirrers, keep on stirring because, really... what else can you do?? But WP and Taz will keep doing what they always do, and that's winning.

You guys lit this board up like a Christmas tree today! And, what was 100%!!! of those posts about?? You guessed it... YOUR obsession with WP and Taz! Nope, the obsession with WP/Taz is stronger than ever, now, isn't it daddy's????? Yeah, I do't see it ending any time soon, do you?????

This is why it's so refreshing to be on any other team. The 91/Legacy commentary is beyond comical.

Normally, I would never respond to mindless posts like this, posted by regular pot stirrers, with the sole agenda of eliciting negative responses from others. However, this person crosses the line, regularly, by repeatedly USING this young boy as bait for criticism, for his own twisted amusement. Naturally, many people accept his incessant taunts, and criticize this innocent boy, mercilessly. We all are fully aware that the Madlax boys post to this website on occasion and are therefore cognizant, to some degree, of the subject matter on BOTC. As owners of this website, BOTC is solely responsible for the content represented on it. It is their responsibility to police these posts in a responsible manner, especially when a child's welfare is threatened.

Please respond to this post, if you are in agreement.

Is that the mom that sounds like a dying moose screaming out wwwwwoooooolllllllfffffpppppaaaaaccccckkkkk !!!!!!!!!

WP/TAZ parents, your kids' teams are the gold standard. You got our respect.
A gentle recommendation - Keep it classy. If you are whooping it up in an attention getting away, you will lose our respect.
If your boys start to mirror bad behavior, your boys will lose our respect.

So let me get this straight, the WP is a B team now because they lost a game to the Taz? What happened to the last win by the WP? Or Taz not making it to the final of Elite 8 and the WP taking home the crown? Both teams are GREAT but lets call it the way it is. The Taz has been inserting and trying to find boys to beat the WP since 2nd grade. They went on a run 2 years ago and prior to that the WP went on a run. They hired the CT kid to come down and try to help, not very successful. Now they have 2 bigger boys who are good, that have the puberty thing on their side and some would say a grade. The WP has had 90% of the team stay the same and are still the winningest team at this grade level over the last 4 years. It seems the Taz sits in a war room every season trying to figure out how to beat this one team but loses to ML every time and drops one to TB and the good Eclipse team. Keep in mind this was box lax which "give the ball to the Big Kid is actually a play" No one knows what will happen this summer and we will all see very soon. Taz puts a lot of time in recruiting to beat the WP and kudos to them, but its not working for the overall win % when you are dropping games to those 3 teams. Great job guys, you did it and its well deserved but keep it in prospective..you need to have victories across the board in the 2024 class to flex your chests. The WP has beat every good team at this level 1 or more times, the Taz has not. Cant argue it. Now go ahead and bash the post. Typical

You're a muppet. Maybe if you all self police and dont respond to the Madlax posts they would get bored. Instead you all take the bait every time. Now you want to post asking for the moderators to manage it. Stop it.

Here are some proper topics Id like to open up to the rest of the nut jobs on this site. rStop the back and forth about holdbacks, Madlax, WP v Taz, etc. It is what it is and youre never going to change anyones opinion.

Topic 1- thoughts on qualifying for World Series of Youth Lacrosse (leave the eligibility nonsense out of it.) How many teams from each region make it? What does qualifying even look like? What about for US Lacrosse Nationals?

Topic 2- thoughts on Warrior All America Games and Brine event. Do any good players try out for these. Tazzies and Pack, do your kids go to these or are they elsewhere at this time. If elsewhere, where?

Topic 3- Box, is it about playing in the hockey rink or in tight spaces. Will we see this more year round?

Topic 4- Town Lax leagues- Are PAL and other towns standing based leagues? Where I am we just play games. You can or can not keep your record as it means nothing. Combine this with the tournament mentality of club and Im curious why Lax does not have more league based like youth soccer or baseball.......heres a bone for Madlax, do you guys have a club league down south

Topic 5- Camps, its that time of year. Do you play club all summer?What camps are good for skills development vs camps for fun with a lacrosse theme.

that will be your down fall. Keep saying the team has been the same. Kids are starting to surpass your kids . Nothing wrong with teams trying to grow and become stronger. Those kids are not just Big, they are Prob some of the most talented kids at the age group. Box is a much different game than out-doors, but if you won , I am sure your post would read much different.

Where exactly has a child's welfare been threatened?? And please don't post that his number and/or name were mentioned - while I agree that such details should not be posted here, that hardly would qualify as "threatening"!

You are both correct, on basically every point. WP is the most successful team at this age, to date, based on record. Taz's primary goal (mild obsession?) has always been to beat WP. Taz has gone out every year to better their team, by aggressively recruiting new players that can help them, in pursuit of that goal. I don't think any knowledgeable person on the topic would dispute any of those statements. So, is that in some way an unfair or unethical practice? Of course not. This is what all successful travel teams do. This is travel youth sports, and in travel sports the goal is to win. Well done, Legacy. Taz will beat their other Nemesis, Madlax, with relative ease, this year. You heard it here first. Take that one to the bank. But to say kids are surpassing any of these kids, isn't accurate either. These are still the two best teams at this age, with the majority of the best talent, anywhere. That hasn't changed. Other than maybe Express and a couple of MD teams, there still is no team that can compete with either team. I look forward to many more heated battles between these two great teams. Great kids and parents on both sides.

That’s actually a funny response taz has beaten madlax and lost to madlax and has a major win percentage over WP. Face it wp was great in 3 rd grade. At this point they are number 3 or 4 nationally behind taz for sure and likely madlax. Just accept it already. Not bad being in the top 4.

Funny, last time they all met on a level playing field ML and Taz took the early train home and the WP raised the Gold. Elite. Oh what??? that didn't happen? Or having Eclipse send Taz home early and then the WP sent Eclipse back to CT in 2nd? Oh wait that didn't happen, right? Amazing how these results are forgotten. Get in the war room guys, summer is coming

Can't you all do everyone else a favor and just take your discussions to the WP, Taz, And Madlax Romper Room?? There are a lot MORE people here on BOTC who are NOT affiliated with these three teams (like, it's not even close!) that might actually discuss LI 2024 lax if it weren't for all of this repetitive, juvenile crap!

You must have some real issues about losing, you are posting STAT after STAT. WOW!!! enough already , little cry baby . WP has proven themselves over and over. If you stop responding to all the people trying to get under your skin it will soon pass. Who cares if Taz is Better now. No big Deal. Next time you win, You will be healed. You can come on BOTC and beat your chest. D-!1here we come

Thank you for stepping up and defending this innocent kid. The original post was made at 11:05 pm by the Team 91 wacko that constantly uses the word "FACT" in all caps, and that has been berating this kid for over a year. Give it a break, and get a life. And for the rest of your parents, don't fall for the bait. If you do, then you are simply a pawn in Team 91's sick game.

Fake news. WP has, by far, the better cumulative record over Taz. Not even close. And Taz record vs ML is also very lopsided, not in Taz’s favor, either. Those are the facts. WP still tops nationally, until proven other wise in 2024 “lacrosse”. Although, I’d give the edge to Taz, in the box game. But then again, nobody cares about a backyard game of 5 v 5 basketball, with lacrosse sticks, now do they??

No - people stop are less likely to post (or even come here) when this crap inundates the board. Stop rationalizing posting this crap! You're not doing anyone any favors by doing it by rationalizing it or posting it!

You realize taz beat Wolfpack 6 out of last 8 games right. Pretty sad to be making a comparison based on 2 nd grade. 4 th grade, 5 th grAde, 6 th grade. Taz 6 wins WP 2. That is a 75 percent win record which makes it clear who is the better team at the moment. Most WP parents recognize taz is currently a better team.

Sorry Tazzie. The last actual "LACROSSE" game, Taz couldn't get the ball on the offensive side of the field for an entire half vs WP. Game was no where near what the score indicated. And dropping 2 or 3 last year to the pack, along with a dreadful loss to a lowly B team in TB, not to mention all loses to ML, your boys have a very long way to go before any of the top teams take you seriously. And, how many tourneys last year, where you couldn't even make it to the finals, that WP ended up winning?? At least two. Try to calm your euphoria from one " F-U-N " game of off-season B-O-X, OK Tazzie?? History has yet to be written for summer 2018, but as of now, WP still reigns supreme in 2024 "L-A-C-R-O-S-S-E".

That statement has been PROVEN 100% false. People come on here for one reason. Jealous parents try to make themselves feel better by attempting to belittle the top two teams in 2024 lacrosse, which insights parents from those teams to defend their children. It's as simple as that. Nobody else has anything at all to say. NOTHING. Wish that wasn't true, but it most definitely is. Without the WP/Taz teams, and the baggage that brings, this board does not exist.

not a WP parent . Box 📦 is def. a different game, keep that in mind . WP is still a great lacrosse team . TAZ and WP are both top notch clubs. Anything else said about the subject is garbage. END OF STORY.

Sorry Tazzie. The last actual "LACROSSE" game, Taz couldn't get the ball on the offensive side of the field for an entire half vs WP. Game was no where near what the score indicated. And dropping 2 or 3 last year to the pack, along with a dreadful loss to a lowly B team in TB, not to mention all loses to ML, your boys have a very long way to go before any of the top teams take you seriously. And, how many tourneys last year, where you couldn't even make it to the finals, that WP ended up winning?? At least two. Try to calm your euphoria from one " F-U-N " game of off-season B-O-X, OK Tazzie?? History has yet to be written for summer 2018, but as of now, WP still reigns supreme in 2024 "L-A-C-R-O-S-S-E".

Crazy WP dad is at it again. You definitely reign supreme on "most posts" and "psycho guy" on Back of the Cage. Instead of trying to deflect attention and create a fictional character in "Crazy WP Mom" you should take credit for your pathetic posts. Your a serial poster.

Fake news. WP has, by far, the better cumulative record over Taz. Not even close. And Taz record vs ML is also very lopsided, not in Taz’s favor, either. Those are the facts.

Ok C Daddy. I’m really in your head, aren’t I?? Renting a lot of space in there. Basically obsessed right? Driving you insane! Posting day and night! Glad you have a hobby now, because I’m sure you were bored to tears watching your sons C team. I mean, in 6th grade and the kids still can’t catch. Must be awful. Well, I ain’t going anywhere. Hahaha.

Can only hope while wp and Taz are living in their self proclaimed glory declaring themselves themselves to be the greatest to ever exist at this age, other teams are staying quiet, pounding the pavement and focusing on the fundamentals so they can put a cork in their mouths .... especially WP mommy!!

I'm still in your head, huh, c daddy?? Face it. I own you. LMAO! Starting to figure out why you and your son are stuck on the c teams. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, apparently. Poor kid!

Another great day of non-stop posts about Taz and WP! You people were awesome today... a stellar performance, indeed! Once again, not a single post, not related to Taz/WP! Get to bed early tonight, since we start again bright and early tomorrow! Looking forward to another record setting day!! ~Taz/WP AA Team Parents

how's it going wp parents? Hope you are enjoying all of the attention from the jealous vulchers. We had a lot of fun with it back in October, when they swooped down on us for a week straight,after the TB loss. They thought we were annoyed, but actually all of the attention was very flattering, and a ton of fun. Enjoy brother AA team! See you on the field!! -taz dad.

The 2 big middies on taz are technically in 7th grade.

Yeah, keep "FOCUSING" on those fundamentals c daddy. After 6 years of fundamentals, they are almost able to catch. At this rate, they'll definitely have that down pat by seniors in HS. LMAO!!!

OMG! You are a WUS. Post something if you have something to post. If someone is interested in the topic, someone will respond. If not, they won't. That's how it works here. There's no bully waiting outside your door, daddy, waiting to beat you up. That prob happened in 3rd grade, didn't it?? But you are safe here. Nobody waiting to beat you up anymore.

Don't go there guy, unless you know it as fact. Excuses are for losers and neither WP or Taz are losers in any shape or form. Leave that for the known hold back teams like ML and the mid Atlantic teams, where half their teams are holdbacks.

Wow - your post says more about YOU than anything. I have two NCAA sports careers to my name and have nothing to vicariously live through via my kids. I actually look to better my community's athletic program and athletes for the pure love of sports and the benefits they bring to people beyond itself. And I do that by volunteering a ton of my time to organizing and coaching. I post on the other aged boards where my sons participate, and I am posting here (that apparently alludes you!). People aren't intimidated to post here - they don't want to waste their time! Try applying some intellect to your less than snarky posts next time! Either way, the posts on most of the other boards betray your position, which means I am likely right and you are probably wrong. But, please continue to push an "everyone is wrong but me" position - that's always amusing to everyone else. Your small minded world view is exactly what keeps this sport from progressing to the next level, much as EVERY other youth sport has already gone through - hopefully, the lax word will ignore the ignoramuses like you and will move forward.

Truer words were never spoken, from a non-AA team parent, assuming that's what you are. Very refreshing. There is such a huge difference in talent between the three teams that you mentioned and the rest of the teams, it creates a tremendous amount of jealousy (obviously). An interesting question to ask is, why is it so? I don't think there is another grade where this scenario exists to this extreme, with such a disparity between the top 2/3 teams and the rest of the clubs. My thinking is that there is a tremendous lack of talent at this grade, for some reason. Personally, I don't think that the kids on these teams are so extraordinary for their age. I have never thought so, and I've been in the thick of it for it's entirety. I think it's more that there are far less of these calibre players at this age, than most other grades. Just an observation/theory. Not sure if it is correct or not. Maybe other's have an opinion on this.

Igloo is also up there this year. They have some some new talent....And you will see next year 1 or two more teams will be in the conversation.Its just lax life.

New talent? That is suppose to help them? Where did they come from?? Answer: Another bad team. Trust me, that aint going to help. And that is not how... "lax life"... goes. There is no natural progression to elite status in anything. It doesn't "just happen". It is reserved for select few, in life.

Talent not the issue at igloo. Doomed from the beginning starting with tryouts. AA involved for a day. Current head coach not even involved. Decent new talent but not a huge upgrade. Moving middies to attack and vice versa isn’t the answer. To be a top team they need to keep a short bench and revolve the offense around 3 kids.

As an outsider, I’m in agreement. Question. What does “AA involved for a day” mean?

It is! C’mon people! Win one for the Gipper! 4th quaterter! We can do this! Let the bashing begin!!!

Crickets.

Like I always say, no jealous WP/Taz talk. No board. Completely Blank. Is this a good time to say... to told you so...

Spring is approaching and the town teams tournaments will be starting up. I feel the town team tournaments are a good barometer on How the HS teams will do down the road. I know some of the town teams grab from surrounding towns but what town teams stand out?

For Suffolk:

1. BBP
2. ESM
3. SWR
4. Commack

Big fall off after that.

Should be in that order.

Best town team tournaments coming up? Not just asking about quality of play, but, maybe more importantly, well run!

I agree but I would have to put Commack in front of ESM. And I have never seen SWR play at any of the tournaments- How about the Nassau teams?

I have had enough Pack bashing.
Here is the truth.
We are solid from top to bottom.
Outside of the 2 big middies mentioned, not one kid on Taz would crack the Pack starting line up. Not one.
The goalies are very close to each other.
The attack on the Pack is slightly better, maybe the one rightly would see the field for the Pack and that would be it.
The middies on Taz outside of the 2 big middies, wouldn't even make the Pack. They are not even close.
The defense on the Pack is much better. Not one kid on Taz makes the Pack. Not one.

Express has a few kids that would make the Pack and likely contribute. Would never happen as they all live too far away.
Not one Igloo kid would make the roster.

The picture just painted suggests that WP should beat Taz by double digits EVERY time they play - if that ain't happening, your assessment is off, and by "off", I mean WAY off!

The attack on the Pack is slightly better, maybe the one rightly would see the field for the Pack and that would be it.
The middies on Taz outside of the 2 big middies, wouldn't even make the Pack. They are not even close.
The defense on the Pack is much better. Not one kid on Taz makes the Pack. Not one.

Express has a few kids that would make the Pack and likely contribute. Would never happen as they all live too far away.
Not one Igloo kid would make the roster.

Wait - another WP/Taz cheerleader said there were absolutely no reasons why any 2024 who might be able to play for these two teams would even consider NOT trying out for/playing for them??! Yet, here you are saying that geographically it makes no sense some. Wow - fancy that novel idea!

Taz better at every position! Fact. Beat them without big kid 6 times in a row. Fact. WOLFPACK peaked in 3 rd grade. Fact. IRRELEVANT

Contrary to popular opinion, apparently the “FACT” guy is not a WP dad... hmmmm....

3. SWR
4. Commack

Big fall off after that.

Should be in that order.

I agree but I would have to put Commack in front of ESM. And I have never seen SWR play at any of the tournaments- How about the Nassau teams?

I’m sure we’ll get a RVC and a GC dad saying their teams are tops in Nassau. But really, is there any other team that compete in Nassau?? I read all of the garbage on here, and I don’t think there is another legit contender ever mentioned.

Or maybe mocking you. Hmmmm....

Boys, enough with the childish bickering. Obviously parents are never 100% objective. And some less than others. Breaking it down by position is rediculous. Both teams have played to within a goal every game for the past 3 years. That means they are very evenly matched. Throw out the box game since it’s a very different game, and one team was playing for fun and the other was playing to win at all costs. Means nothing. Very shortly both great teams will be playing again, and we’ll see what happens. Is as simple as that. Make anything more than that, and your nothing more than an obsessed parent.

Not one person would want to try out for a team with a statement like that. From what I saw , you should re-evaluate your thought process.

soooooo condescending!! For FUN !! REALLY !! Was it fun for 91 tri state when you scored 25 goals , Come on NOW !! . WP plays to win and so does every other team. So please , you’re embarrassing yourself and your team.

Obviously a person that didn’t play the game and has no idea what they are looking at when they are watching a lacrosse game. Perfectly understandable. I suggest you consult with some knowledgeable parents on Legacy, and they will explain the game to you, as there are plenty that know the game. Regardless, we have one confirmed obsessive parent. Check. Appears to be the only one, so that’s actually quite good, I’d say. Despite what you read on here which is basically only 2 people going back and forth on an anonymous site, there is no bad blood between these two teams. Nothing but common respect and friendships, that I am aware of, for both parents and players.

Think I’m going to have my son try out for the Brine National team for LI. Think the tryout is 3/1. Anybody else doing that? Did the Warrior games last year. Taking a pass on that this year. Thoughts?

Any improved Suffolk teams that can maybe compete with the big’s this year? EI? Islip? BS? Sinai? Just wondering who to watch for this year.

Are some teams combining with the grade up or down, making A/B teams? Are the top 4 doing that?

trust me . Played the game better than you. Your post stated that your kids played for fun. Which means they lost because they really did not try. Thats what you were saying. Yes box is a different animal, we all agree on that. We all agree the teams are the best out there but don’t try to down play the loss . No matter what the game is , they all play to win and have fun. If WP won all the crap on BOTC would have been against TAZ. Everyone would be saying how box is up and coming and TAZ is done . So Let’s call it quits and move on.

You are still missing the point in regards to the box game. Not saying the kids didn't try. They tried their butt off. Not going to go any further than that, but if you are an astute lacrosse person, and are able to watch a game with some kind of objectivity, then you know what I am referring to. And I am absolutely down playing the significance of that loss, and I make no apologies for that. The game means nothing, for many reasons, of which the most obvious is it's a completely different sport. Lastly, yes I agree, if Taz lost, obviously you guys would be taking all of the flack, just as you did with the TB loss. That's obvious. But 99% of that comes from the jealous non-AA parents, not from WP parents. They love seeing Taz and WP lose. Hey, Taz is a better team this year than last year, no question about it. I know you guys are going to do a number on ML this summer and hopefully WP will be there to witness it and cheer on your boys. I look forward to it. And just as much of a certainty, Taz will get WP's best shot, just as they always do. I still like our chances. One thing is for sure, it will be another battle and a whole lot of fun.

Why passing on Warrior? We were looking to do it but can’t find any feedback on how it actually is for instruction, competition or overall value.

My son had fun. There is no instruction only a couple practices the day before the tourney. Competition wasn’t good but maybe will be improved in year 2. Value is a relative thing. It ends up being around $1500 for the long weekend.

There aren't that many town teams in Nassau that strive to participate as such - between the smaller communities where it is logistically too much work to put teams together along with all of the boys that play club, it's really a meaningless assessment of anything.

Not sure your logic adds up. Nassau is prob one of the most populated counties in the country, and likely the original hot bed for all of Lacrosse. And there are basically no town teams, while relative new comer Suffolk has tons and tons of town teams. Dude. That doesn’t make sense.

Do you read ALL of the words?? It makes sense when you read the WHOLE thing. My town is a prime example - very strong Class C program (pointing out that to demonstrate size of community) and of the ~22 2024 boys total that play lacrosse, ~15 play travel, and do so in 4 - 5 different programs. As a coach of that group, I could never get enough players with interest to also play for a town team - of the non-travel players, I'd probably get 1- 2 and from previous attempts to get the boys that play travel to also play on a town team, most of them (or their parents) balk because they feel they are already busy enough with lacrosse between PAL and travel obligations. Thus, my position isn't hypothetical - it's fact, and I have heard similar stories from other districts. Multiply this situation across other Nassau Communities and you can why other than mostly the larger districts, there are no town teams.

I noticed someone used the word “contender” to describe town lacrosse. Why do t you wait until it means something, like HS, then talk about contenders, if your son even makes his high school team.

Conclusion: Travel has killed town lacrosse, until HS.

And, if your kid isn’t in travel, because of financial reasons or otherwise, your son has basically no opportunity to play lacrosse, now or in the future.

A very sad state for the sport of lacrosse and it’s mission in regards to inclusion of the less privileged.

It will continue to be the “prep school” sport of the privileged. Thats a very big problem for the sport.

Quick question i see all these post with holdbacks . What makes a kid a holdback ? If a kid was born in Mid November and the cut off for School is Dec 1st but was held back in first grade and 2 weeks later the rest of the kids start turning the same age as that mid November birthday is he considered a holdback ? What is the cut off date ?

You're on the wrong 2024 board. That is being discussed on the MD board and their cutoff date is prob differetnt han LI's.

Who is to say that HS is the only important town stage?? How about... all of the stages are important, as it's all part of your child's youth, not just HS. Who is to say one stage is more important than another?? That's ridiculous.

Depends who you talk to. My opinion, unless it is a 6month difference between 2005 / 2006 it will make no difference. There are plenty of holdbacks that play lacrosse that are b plAyers . And 2006 kids that are A players. Holdbacks are an excuse that people use to justify why their child does not play. I played sports my whole life , I was always the youngest in my grade. I was an athlete and always played. Does not make a difference. If a child has it they have it. Anyone that has coached will agree. .

In NY State the age cutoffs are Dec 1st 2005 to Nov 30th 2006 for all 6th graders. So anybody born before December 1st 2005 and in 6th grade, that is a holdback. It's that simple. Again, just NYS.

If you want to talk about resumes, i have coached youth lacrosse for 15 years. And I was a holdback growing up, a very long time ago. I am telling you its an unfair advantage. All things equal, the holdback has a HUGE advantage. I don’t see how anyone can possibly disagree with that. It’s complete common sense. Not debatable.

Here’s an example. ML boy plays with ‘23’s. Is he as effective as when playing with ‘24’s? No. He just another average ‘23 Lacrosse player. Case closed.

I've coached youth sports for the better part of 15 years, lacrosse included. I disagree with you, as do most coaches I've spoken to, with respect to lacrosse. Most formal studies of pre-pubescent sports also are at odds with your assessment. Just because you are a coach does not make you an SME. I think that putting my feelings aside, I will go with the what the real experts have concluded.

When you give your "resume" and it's anon. It's not really a resume now, is it.

what did they conclude. That a kid born 11/25/05 is alot better lacrosse player than a kid born 1/25 2006.
So that would mean that a child born 01/25/2006 is a much. Better lacrosse player than a child born 03/25/2006 . And so on and so on. Truth is it all depends on the child. Every child grows at different paces. It depends n a child’s athlettism, speed, IQ, etc. the few months you are talking about is baselesses. Show me the data. If you were a coach for that long you would know it plays a small factor. If it was a year and a half or 2 year gap than I would be concerned . Hence all the Maryland teams.

No one would disagree with the fact the closer the age, the less impact there is. But you've set out the smallest gaps possible to refute the widely accepted conclusion, and the reality if a general SA population sees a distribution where at least 50% are NOT that close in age, so the impacts are significant. That said, the studies are out there for you to find and read yourself, and they are not outliers. In general, depending upon the pre-pubescent age, the younger SAs are adversely impacted by even months difference. Again, no one would suggest going more granular than a yearly breakdown for organized play as that is untenable, but the studies' results and findings remain what they are.

Depends who you talk to. My opinion, unless it is a 6month difference between 2005 / 2006 it will make no difference. There are plenty of holdbacks that play lacrosse that are b plAyers . And 2006 kids that are A players. Holdbacks are an excuse that people use to justify why their child does not play. I played sports my whole life , I was always the youngest in my grade. I was an athlete and always played. Does not make a difference. If a child has it they have it. Anyone that has coached will agree. .

I've coached youth sports for the better part of 15 years, lacrosse included. I disagree with you, as do most coaches I've spoken to, with respect to lacrosse. Most formal studies of pre-pubescent sports also are at odds with your assessment. Just because you are a coach does not make you an SME. I think that putting my feelings aside, I will go with the what the real experts have concluded.

what did they conclude. That a kid born 11/25/05 is alot better lacrosse player than a kid born 1/25 2006.
So that would mean that a child born 01/25/2006 is a much. Better lacrosse player than a child born 03/25/2006 . And so on and so on. Truth is it all depends on the child. Every child grows at different paces. It depends n a child’s athlettism, speed, IQ, etc. the few months you are talking about is baselesses. Show me the data. If you were a coach for that long you would know it plays a small factor. If it was a year and a half or 2 year gap than I would be concerned . Hence all the Maryland teams.

No one would disagree with the fact the closer the age, the less impact there is. But you've set out the smallest gaps possible to refute the widely accepted conclusion, and the reality if a general SA population sees a distribution where at least 50% are NOT that close in age, so the impacts are significant. That said, the studies are out there for you to find and read yourself, and they are not outliers. In general, depending upon the pre-pubescent age, the younger SAs are adversely impacted by even months difference. Again, no one would suggest going more granular than a yearly breakdown for organized play as that is untenable, but the studies' results and findings remain what they are.

most of the talk of holdbacks start at the hs school level . Where the real impact would be . Instead of a child going into 9th grade they reclassify and remain in 8th . This is a practice that is done in other states.

MD & MA are the two biggest culprits, with the difference being that MA parents are downright proud of it. Whereas MD parents will avoid the topic and/or lie about it, MA parents will offer up that their kids kids are hold backs, even when you don't ask, and then, while you sit there with looks of shock on your face, they go so far as to to say, "I can't understand why you don't have hold backs."!

I quess that’s when you get your 20 year old freshman In college.

I set the smallest gaps to show the difference of what a true holdback is. When a child is reclassified and is clearly more than a year older than everyone in the grade that is a true holdback . People throw around the holdback term around for everyone. Parents need to understand exactly what a true hold back is.

Could you imagine if parents put the same amount of thought and effort into steering their kids towards academics? Or at the same time, learning some sort of trade. All the effort, money, and time spent hedging on a sport that will hopefully land your child in a well known school, IF it happens, then what? I truly wonder, if the majority of the kids are in full agreement with their parents on their so called Master Plan. But I guess times are different now; Back in H.S.it was who had the job making the most money. Which kid(s) had the connection with the builder, framing houses on the weekend, which kid had the father, who was the mason, so he would throw us some work on the weekends/summer so we would have some money in our pockets. Like I said times have changed...

Or you could enjoy the time you spend with your kids while they are kids and stop planning and waiting for their future. Maybe they will never play in HS or college but they sure had fun as kids playing lacrosse with mom and dad traveling and being a part of life, a team, and a family. Life isn't about tomorrow, its about today. Try and enjoy it what ever it is you and your family do...

They have one big kid who as others have said wouldnt be a big deal if he played D. Attackmen are small, D big but normal sized. Not sure why anyone would think or say they are 50% holdbacks. And 91 Md parents that I know don’t think so.

If it's grade based and the kid is the correct grade, why is it cheating?

awesome post I try saying this for so long. People drink the cool aid about lacrosse. 60 kids on a college roster there’s no full scholarships people. Never see kids cutting there own grass anymore.

Thank you for that expert, UNBIASED commentary, Madlax Dad. I already feel sorry for your boys this year. Once Taz get's done with them, there will be a lot of tears. Suggest you start preparing them now for the beat down. You'll thank me later.

Nice try champ. 9d1 Dad.

Madlax had zero holdbacks You stunads would have provided proof if we did. Keep lying and crying.

Is madlax coming to Long Island this coming season ? Is Taz or WP playing them anytime this year ?

Great! Then I’ll see you at the WSYL. Should be a real hoot! Heard they are televising it live again on ESPNU. Can you imagine a better experience for a 12 year old than playing for a World Championship, on TV?!! Something they’ll tell their grand kids about! Wow! Can’t wait!!

c-Daddy, what B tourneys are on the schedule for this year? Is your sons team going to graduate to club teams, or are you guys going to stick with the town teams again this year? Bring em along slowly. The whole competition thing is totally overrated. Hey, some of those town teams are pretty good!

You gotta be kidding me. Besides their grand children, if that ever happens in this day and age. Think about this, when little Billy Lax finishes his D1 lacrosse career and returns home to the real world with 200K in student loans still wearing his grass slippers picked up at a tournament while still in HS, because it took him 5 years to complete his degree and PSE&G comes knocking on his door for their loot, I guess little Billy Lax will say to them; "Hey, don't you know me, I played in the WSYL, televised on ESPNU."

I think someone didn't pick up the sarcasm....

The best part is it’s probably from 2 or 3 Taz/WP parent and a few kids as well. Lol.

That was such an idiotic response.

Yep re-read your post, total chest pound, nobody talking bout your boys so you go and make an advertisement to highlight that fact yet I'm the stunad? Your kids team should screen the parents before accepting a kid on the team, you're a perfect example of why!!

You people are too funny. You’re talking to a parent that is neither aTaz or WP parent. There is only one person on here that uses the word stunad (whatever that is). If you are paying attention, you would know this is the parent from Madlax. And, thanks Madlax guy for defending WP/Taz! Kinda shocked.

Clue: when you see some strange terms here and there, particularly repeated across multiplier posts, it's the moderators replacing 'offensive' terms included in the originally submitted post. How do I know this?? Because I've had it done to some of my posts.

I don’t think many of the top players are going to do it. Wonder if more are going to do Warrior again. My feeling is most aren’t doing that either.

I agree but I would have to put Commack in front of ESM. And I have never seen SWR play at any of the tournaments- How about the Nassau teams?

I’m sure we’ll get a RVC and a GC dad saying their teams are tops in Nassau. But really, is there any other team that compete in Nassau?? I read all of the garbage on here, and I don’t think there is another legit contender ever mentioned.

There aren't that many town teams in Nassau that strive to participate as such - between the smaller communities where it is logistically too much work to put teams together along with all of the boys that play club, it's really a meaningless assessment of anything.

I would have to put Gc and Rvc in front of esm and swr on the Long Island list.Regardless, of how you feel about the Nassau teams I do believe Manhasset, Massapequa and Lynbrook teams all should be in conversation.

We are now judging and rating PAL teams??? Lolol this has gotten out of control. How do you rate town teams based on the fact that the teams are ran through the top Travel kids. PAL becomes a 2 through 6 man game, the rest are just fillers. Some programs have lost kids and some have gained and others are playing up. Some of these teams have 2 or more top travel kids on their teams and some have none. Can't rank teams based on that playing field. Plus add in the fact that you have to play every kid somewhat evenly no matter the skill level. And overall PAL is for fun, not to flex your chest. If that's what your looking for than Travel is the way to go, PAL is dying and if you disagree go look up the Travel lacrosse companies growth across the board but more obvious is the amount of teams they have at every grade level then compare it too PAL registrations over the last 3- 4 years. I like PAL for the simple fact that my son gets to play with his friends but the real skill building and competition is at the travel level and its only getting stronger.

". . . you have to play every kid somewhat evenly . . ." Some teams (Read: coaches!) would do well to keep this in mind. I've seen far too many games that were closer than the opposing coach thought they would be, and then somehow shortened his bench for the better part of the game to ensure a win!

Very interesting reading on the ‘24 MD board in regards to holdbacks and prep school kids. For those LI teams that go to the mid Atlantic tourneys, it’s a definite must read. ML, BLC, 91MD, etc, etc are 90%+ holdbacks. Nothing we didn’t already know, but in case you had any doubts, you can hear it straight from the horses mouth. These teams have this form of cheating down to a science.

I agree but I would have to put Commack in front of ESM. And I have never seen SWR play at any of the tournaments- How about the Nassau teams?

I’m sure we’ll get a RVC and a GC dad saying their teams are tops in Nassau. But really, is there any other team that compete in Nassau?? I read all of the garbage on here, and I don’t think there is another legit contender ever mentioned.

There aren't that many town teams in Nassau that strive to participate as such - between the smaller communities where it is logistically too much work to put teams together along with all of the boys that play club, it's really a meaningless assessment of anything.

I would have to put Gc and Rvc in front of esm and swr on the Long Island list.Regardless, of how you feel about the Nassau teams I do believe Manhasset, Massapequa and Lynbrook teams all should be in conversation.

Not sure about your assessment in regards to RVC and GC, but you have no idea what you are talking about if you are putting Massapequa in the conversation. There is no kind way to say it, except that team is horrible. I mean... REALLY HORRIBLE. You have no idea what quality town teams are on LI, if you think that team is one of the top teams. I don't know anything about Lynbrook, but I don't think Manhasset is much better than Massapequa. My thinking is that RVC and GC are prob justified, but the rest are at a B level or below. Hopefully all of the teams will play in some town tourneys this Spring and we'll find out.

We are now judging and rating PAL teams??? Lolol this has gotten out of control. How do you rate town teams based on the fact that the teams are ran through the top Travel kids. PAL becomes a 2 through 6 man game, the rest are just fillers. Some programs have lost kids and some have gained and others are playing up. Some of these teams have 2 or more top travel kids on their teams and some have none. Can't rank teams based on that playing field. Plus add in the fact that you have to play every kid somewhat evenly no matter the skill level. And overall PAL is for fun, not to flex your chest. If that's what your looking for than Travel is the way to go, PAL is dying and if you disagree go look up the Travel lacrosse companies growth across the board but more obvious is the amount of teams they have at every grade level then compare it too PAL registrations over the last 3- 4 years. I like PAL for the simple fact that my son gets to play with his friends but the real skill building and competition is at the travel level and its only getting stronger.

". . . you have to play every kid somewhat evenly . . ." Some teams (Read: coaches!) would do well to keep this in mind. I've seen far too many games that were closer than the opposing coach thought they would be, and then somehow shortened his bench for the better part of the game to ensure a win!

Genius. Stop with the club argument. Everyone understands all that crap. You aren't educating anyone. The point here is, town teams are one of the core indicators for HS success. It's common sense. Based on what I know, several of the teams mentioned here will be contending for LIC's and beyond in a few years. Anybody want to dispute that? If so, history has proven you wrong, many times over. Any other teams to add to the list??

Oh... I don't know, Nassau dad. Do you know what kind of talent SWR has at this age?? The three top offensive players on Taz are from SWR. And, has your team ever played ESM?? I didn't think so. One gritty bunch! BTW, your "supplemental" list of teams... stop embarrassing yourself. They are all B teams, at best.

there are also other contenders BBP , 3v , and . Sachem East merged with North . They will become much more competitive this season. which will be good to see . All to prepare for HS

Can’t agree with 3V selection. Not a good team. If they ever add back the banished kids, just maybe. Sachem remains to be seen. To date not impressive at all, but if there is some kind of merger in the works, guess we’ll wait and see. BBP, of course extremely strong as usual.

Whats wrong with talking about PAL/town teams, this is a lacrosse forum isn't it? even if you don't give it much of your consideration. Not gonna knock your statement that club teams are on the whole more competitive and more talented but plenty of kids play only PAL. Some by choice others just weren't cut out for the club circuit. As the kids get older, playing for their school team becomes their priority and club is secondary or in most cases non-existent. Like someone had posted it is an indicator of what to expect from a HS team from each district, and no doubt you will be on this website making comments on the HS forum when that time comes.

it’s all about pride of your school. My son plays club, but I make sure he plays PAL. Club ruined soccer for school , and it’s taking over Lacrosse . I grew up with pride in my school and I want to teach my son the same lesson.

I completely agree.

Do you really take alot of pride in the logo of some club team, whose sole purpose is to make money, and who will kick your kid to the curb as soon as something better comes along?

Or do you take pride in building (or maintaining) your towns lacrosse brand, in the world wide Mecca for the sport, rich in lacrosse tradition, like no place else?

Amatuers..do you really think PAL has anything to do with HS lacrosse success?? These HS Championship caliber teams get all of their talent from the Travel circuit. Little Johnnies dad who coaches PAL is not doing anything for the skill level or competitive spirit of these boys. Not saying that having pride in your school is not important, it is big time, but to rope PAL into HS success is ridiculous. Same story over and over, a kid cant swing it in the Travel circuit so the Dad goes to bat for PAL because that's the level his kid can handle. Half these PAL kids will fall to the side once school ball starts up just for the simple fact they are not playing up with the travel competition at this age. Not saying boys wont show up and be able to play the game but the climb is tough to compete against the boys who have been playing high caliber lacrosse since they are 6 or 7. And times have changed yes School ball takes over but these boys are not walking away from their club teams because of school ball. And if you ever get a chance to talk to a college coach ask him who he calls to take a look at your son come HS. Travel coaches phones are ringing before anyone else's.

Towns that don't field town teams post PAL aren't successful? That's what your post infers. In Nassau, that's more towns than not. Pease go away with this stupidity!

Totally missed the Point. MY son plays club and will as long as he wishes to. The point I was making is that PAL is the stepping stone for school ball. Kids learn to play with the kids they will be playing with in School. Club is great, but many kids chose to walk away from school ball because they feel the school team is less than. The kids that play club should become the leaders of those teams and try to raise the bar of the other children. Sports are not just about winning and being the best. Its about teaching commitment, respect, leadership and pride. All the qualities you would want in an Athlete.

Basing future HS program success based upon 6th grade PAL and/or town teams (especially considering the latter are no where near as numerous as the former!) seems to have as much direct correlation as apples and oranges. It's a dumb thought process. I can think of plenty of communities that are perennial top performers at the HS level whose PAL teams are no where near as strong and don't field town teams consistently. Cone HS, these kids didn't appear out of nowhere - they came out of club.

Not banished, elected not to play. Should get your facts straight before posting.

Simple concept. Read the post. Then respond to what you read. If you do that, the point is not arguable. If you put stuff in there that doesn’t exist, I guess you can argue. But then you are neurotic.

Stop with swr ,We all know the Longboard/taz twins ..and did not the other kid move to Fl.? After them huge drop off. on line to have good game with Manhasset. 3 real good players from Express. And I agree esm gritty, but not skilled enough to hang with rvc or Gc.

The post said... “one of the core indicators”. It didn’t say it was the only “core indicator”. There are obviously several other ones that need to be factored in.

. Not the Dad, or TAZ parent. Just calling it like it is.

Some of these teams have 2 or more top travel kids on their teams and some have none. Can't rank teams based on that playing field. Plus add in the fact that you have to play every kid somewhat evenly no matter the skill level. And overall PAL is for fun, not to flex your chest. If that's what your looking for than Travel is the way to go, PAL is dying and if you disagree go look up the Travel lacrosse companies growth across the board but more obvious is the amount of teams they have at every grade level then compare it too PAL registrations over the last 3- 4 years. I like PAL for the simple fact that my son gets to play with his friends but the real skill building and competition is at the travel level and its only getting stronger.

". . . you have to play every kid somewhat evenly . . ." Some teams (Read: coaches!) would do well to keep this in mind. I've seen far too many games that were closer than the opposing coach thought they would be, and then somehow shortened his bench for the better part of the game to ensure a win!

Genius. Stop with the club argument. Everyone understands all that crap. You aren't educating anyone. The point here is, town teams are one of the core indicators for HS success. It's common sense. Based on what I know, several of the teams mentioned here will be contending for LIC's and beyond in a few years. Anybody want to dispute that? If so, history has proven you wrong, many times over. Any other teams to add to the list??

Towns that don't field town teams post PAL aren't successful? That's what your post infers. In Nassau, that's more towns than not. Pease go away with this stupidity!

Simple concept. Read the post. Then respond to what you read. If you do that, the point is not arguable. If you put stuff in there that doesn’t exist, I guess you can argue. But then you are neurotic.

You didn't explicitly say it, but that conclusion is the logical progression from what you posted.

The post said... “one of the core indicators”. It didn’t say it was the only “core indicator”. There are obviously several other ones that need to be factored in.

Maybe I am quibbling over semantics, but "one of" versus "could be one of" are not the same - the first implies strong PAL play/town teams are required, albeit not the only factor(s), while the second does not require that.

For Suffolk:

1. BBP
2. ESM
3. SWR
4. Commack

Big fall off after that.

Should be in that order.

I agree but I would have to put Commack in front of ESM. And I have never seen SWR play at any of the tournaments- How about the Nassau teams?

Oh... I don't know, Nassau dad. Do you know what kind of talent SWR has at this age?? The three top offensive players on Taz are from SWR. And, has your team ever played ESM?? I didn't think so. One gritty bunch! BTW, your "supplemental" list of teams... stop embarrassing yourself. They are all B teams, at best.

there are also other contenders BBP , 3v , and . Sachem East merged with North . They will become much more competitive this season. which will be good to see . All to prepare for HS[/quote

STOP!! REALLY! Longboard/Taz twins and FL/LI kid... hahahahahahahahah what a joke top 3 on Taz!! obviously you are the DAD or you haven't watched ANY of the games played!! but my guess it's DAD!!! He must have called BOTC to get this exposure.......

I think those boys are some of the top kids at the age group. There is Def a few more on that Team that are fantastic
. Not the Dad, or TAZ parent. Just calling it like it is.

Me too. All three are in my TOP 10 offensive players in 2024, anywhere. Absolutely no question. And I am not the dad either. And I'm not a dad on that team. Anybody want to debate that, you know nothing about youth lacrosse. The 3rd kid is the best 2024 kid ANYWHERE, when he feels like playing. Dominant, when his head is in the game.

i thought the chosen one was the best 2024 ANYWHERE? where is the chosen one now? where is this 3rd kid from?

I will agree with you there, There is also a few other boys that would Challenge that kid no doubt. Couple boys from GC and there is a kid from Sachem as well.

Def in the Top 10 those boys , but the best at 2024 is a little much. Kid is def up there top 3, but there are others that hang right with him or better. To make a remark like that you def, either coach or are related to the child. .

lololol you're a hammerhead haha. "My TOP 10 11 year old lacrosse players" Who marries or hires a guy like this?? or for that matter who would want to call this guy dad?? Your family is embarrassed of you and you don't even know it. The best part is "I'm not a dad on that team" if that is the case than you are a sad human being who never amounted to anything. Seriously man get a life and make someone proud of you once, think about what you are doing and saying about 11 year olds. I have now seen it all, but keep you ranking system going it seems to make you feel better Non Dad of this team. haha. Is there anyone else that can picture what this guys life is like? Wow hang it up man, your kid wont make up for your life's shortfalls. THEY ARE 11!

If you haven’t seen the kid lately, then you haven’t seen him. And I’m not related. Just know Lacrosse talent, when I see it. When he’s on, he is really on. And the size factor benefits him a lot. Admittedly, when he’s not, he’s pretty average. But those days may be over. Just curious. You’re not saying who is better. So, who do you consider better?

This guy sits on his couch between his shifts at Wendy's calling into WFAN to talk about how good "we" are going to be this year and how "we" are looking pretty strong.....assclown

At this age would not pin point 1 child.

I do not know all the names of every child but there are other children that are there and are up and coming.

Everyone knows what makes up a good lacrosse player, so stop with the lecture. Most of the people on here likely coach in some capacity and/or also played the game. So, once again, you are not educating anyone about anything, although obviously you would like to think so. And we know they are kids, and all of this will change. Forget about "up and coming." The question was realiative to... TODAY. Tomorrow is a total unknown. And you don't need to know names. Site team and position. I'm sure we all will know who you are referring to.

B team Dad, is that you??? This topic doesn't apply to you or your son, now does it?? And you are REALLY not happy about that, are you?? It really pisses you off, huh. Now, you're going to be in a bad mood the rest of the day. I suggest that you go home tonight, crack open a few Budweisers, and smack the wife around again. Then, yell at the kid about how bad a lacrosse player he is. Yup, that will make you feel better.

It has been widely posted that 24 and 19 are the two best on Madlax, who are the two best on WP, Taz, and Express?

the boy in question from last night is in fact an 06 birthday class of 2024. You can verify this on the Wsyl website when he plays for PrimeTime 2023 . But make no mistake, this boy is practicing non stop on all facets of his game. Great boy, great family.

Nobody cares about your response either. He's just defending a false accusation against a kid put on a public forum and rationalizing why this kid may have the skills of a 13 y/o, so what's your problem!!!

Because you take a single dumb comment, barely noticeable, and blow it up into a full fledged argument. Again! Now, to be followed by an even more idiotic, long winded exchange which will go on for days. Nobody on here wants to live through that again. Done with the kid. Nobody cares. Move on!

That is well said, especially when referring to 6th graders. My son plays PAL and Club and loves playing with his school friends on PAL. There are only 3-4 kids on his PAL team(they only have one team) that play club, so they cannot compete with bigger town teams, that field multiple PAL teams with a larger percentage of club players. It's important to be in the right PAL division so competition is reasonably fair. My son played for a "top" travel club and is constantly doing clinics with several others, like Box and specialty position. I laugh when I read on this thread how important it is to play for TAZ or WP or Express, Igloo, Millon etc. Nonsense. I work with an Ex-National Champ from Hopkins and know many other older ex college players/parents who says chill out in 6th grade. Nothing is that consequential until 9th, maybe 10th grade, especially with NCAA recruiting rules( for those sure their kid is destined for College lacrosse!!). There are many highly qualified coaches to teach kids fundamentals and "how to play" both at PAL and Club levels, besides the ones working for "top" club teams. Wish my son would be more serious about golf or tennis-results are not subjective, no political, no concussions, rarely broken bones or serious ligament tears and he can use those skills for the rest of his life, personally and for business. Oh yeah, this is only for lacrosse fanatics/nuts.

if it's the boy I saw play this winter at an indoor, one day tournament at SportsHub, he is really way ahead of almost any 2024 I've seen in last 4 years on LI. Maybe rest will catch up but hes heads and tails above 99%

What argument, just defending a guy for defending an 11/12 y/o kid, obviously this little kid strikes a nerve with you. And he's doing you a favor by trying to set the record straight so this kid doesn't continue to be the focus of conversation. Now ill move on.....

No top talent = no top team. Congrats, your son made an "elite" team competing against the best players from Igloo and E3. Cmon.

I feel the town team tournaments are a good barometer on How the HS teams will do down the road. I know some of the town teams grab from surrounding towns but what town teams stand out?

I will agree with you there, There is also a few other boys that would Challenge that kid no doubt. Couple boys from GC and there is a kid from Sachem as well.

Me too. All three are in my TOP 10 offensive players in 2024, anywhere. Absolutely no question. And I am not the dad either. And I'm not a dad on that team. Anybody want to debate that, you know nothing about youth lacrosse. The 3rd kid is the best 2024 kid ANYWHERE, when he feels like playing. Dominant, when his head is in the game.

Def in the Top 10 those boys , but the best at 2024 is a little much. Kid is def up there top 3, but there are others that hang right with him or better. To make a remark like that you def, either coach or are related to the child. .

If you haven’t seen the kid lately, then you haven’t seen him. And I’m not related. Just know Lacrosse talent, when I see it. When he’s on, he is really on. And the size factor benefits him a lot. Admittedly, when he’s not, he’s pretty average. But those days may be over. Just curious. You’re not saying who is better. So, who do you consider better?

Kid is a holdback. Mom is nuts. Good player. My son who plays pole. Not playing club this year but will dominate all next year when middle school starts and he will play club. Tall, athletic and skilled means lock down.

Wow. Nobody cares about a kid that doesn't play, but who plays pole, who's dad is lavar ball. First of all, if the kid, that doesn't play, had any skills at all, he wouldn't be playing pole. Get a clue lavar-daddy that never played lacrosse. Maybe you should get a book on the subject and learn a little about the sport that your son elects not to play.

Everyone on Madlax is on age and on grade. How's that new leg tat?

I suggest that you spend a little more time on your own board and educate yourself about your own team. 90% prep school holdbacks. And, wow, the minority 10% parents despise all of your cheating holdbacks!! Can't say I blame them. Such a bad example to set for your children. Shameful.

That’s really great. But nobody cares!!

Nobody cares about your response either. He's just defending a false accusation against a kid put on a public forum and rationalizing why this kid may have the skills of a 13 y/o, so what's your problem!!!

Heard no players from the AA teams showed up, except for a couple of Taz kids. What teams were represented?

Those TAZ kids are B players at best...... No clue how they on that roster. Makes me feel like my "B" son could easily play on an A team.

Seriously, you guys are living in fantasy land. There were good kids there. You can talk all the trash you want but it won't change the reality of the situation.

So have your “B” son register this summer for the A teams tryouts for next season, easy as pie!

Typical of this site. Goes on for all age groups. Nothing constructive.

LOL. If you are going to lie or try to be funny, try harder. The team is less than 50% in private school. But you know that. These are kids in elementary school, and no club team in this area is an elementary school team with anywhere near 90% private school.

Sorry that Madlax 2024 gave your team a beat down. Enjoy that car port.

If you haven’t seen the kid lately, then you haven’t seen him. And I’m not related. Just know Lacrosse talent, when I see it. When he’s on, he is really on. And the size factor benefits him a lot. Admittedly, when he’s not, he’s pretty average. But those days may be over. Just curious. You’re not saying who is better. So, who do you consider better?

Kid is a holdback. Mom is nuts. Good player. My son who plays pole. Not playing club this year but will dominate all next year when middle school starts and he will play club. Tall, athletic and skilled means lock down.

Wow. Nobody cares about a kid that doesn't play, but who plays pole, who's dad is lavar ball. First of all, if the kid, that doesn't play, had any skills at all, he wouldn't be playing pole. Get a clue lavar-daddy that never played lacrosse. Maybe you should get a book on the subject and learn a little about the sport that your son elects not to play.

so let me clarify... if someone plays pole they don’t have skills

Everyone on Madlax is on age and on grade. How's that new leg tat?

I suggest that you spend a little more time on your own board and educate yourself about your own team. 90% prep school holdbacks. And, wow, the minority 10% parents despise all of your cheating holdbacks!! Can't say I blame them. Such a bad example to set for your children. Shameful.

LOL. If you are going to lie or try to be funny, try harder. The team is less than 50% in private school. But you know that. These are kids in elementary school, and no club team in this area is an elementary school team with anywhere near 90% private school.

Sorry that Madlax 2024 gave your team a beat down. Enjoy that car port.

Thanks Jimmy joe jm Bob for the advice

Do not listen to that stunad. plenty of skilled kids play long Pole. Great D wins Games .

Obviously lacrosse neophytes. It’s common sense. Ask yourself some questions, relative to the skill positions. In order to be effective, does a pole need...

* A hard/accurate shot
* pin point passes
* exceptional catching ability
* deceptive dodging skills
* speed
* High offensive IQ

If your being honest with yourself, you now understand. Not saying poles aren’t important. They obviously are. But a lot easier to find a good pole than it is a good skill player. No comparison.

You must be honest with yourself. All those questions are offensive questions. lets look at it this way :

: Needs Speed
: need to be able to catch and throw accurately
: needs to Know both offense and Defense
: needs to know when to slide, how to clear the ball up field (which is very important), and many other things I may not include.
: That is a true defensive Player. FYI. my son is a Mid. but I know the true Value of Defense. Maybe at a young age when learning the game Kids were stuck on the defensive side of the ball, but now defense is a very important part of the puzzle. Good Defense. When you find a good Defensive player you will know what I am talking about. Defense creates offense IT WINS GAMES.. IN EVERY SPORT

I hope, no pray that this is a kid typing this and not a parent. If a parent, I fear for your kids. Loser.

Thanks for your helpful parenting skills. Now we all can sleep at night. DOPE

I must have missed your insightful reply. I take it that was your kid that replied? Great parenting, keep it up!

Keep telling yourself that - as an example of why this isn't true, I will point to a kid who plays on the arguable the best 2021 team on LI. The kid was arguable the best player on the field at any position on the field for his team, and he tried them all. Guess what position he decided to play?

I never suggested that there are kids that are better players then others. What you suggested is that kids who play Def. are lower skilled players , which simply is not true.

Wow. I really hit a nerve. Apparently the coach didn’t call you into his office when he handed your kid the pole. But he definitely told your son, in not so many words, it’s the pole, or the pines. Well, he picked the pole. Not something a coach will tell a parent, but as anyone knows that actually played the game, that’s exactly what happened. Not saying it’s not an important role on the team, as of course it is. Just don’t need to be a highly skilled player to play it. Now, I’m going to let this sink in a little for you pole-pops out there. Won’t be wasting any more of my time on arguing a well known point with a bunch of neophytes. Hope I was able to educate you a little bit today.

Guy who doesn't read what is posted. As another example, my 2024 son is the best player in his class in our community and has switched to playing pole. And for context, we are top program in our class - they're only in 6th grade so, who knows where that will go. But that doesn't change the fact that many of the most talented players choose to play pole - they aren't playing pole because of any skill deficiency. So, again, keep on thinking that . . .

The guy is right about poles. Everyone knows this. Go back to baseball website, maybe something you are familiar with??

Of course. How often you see a pole handle the ball? Rarely. Why?? Because the coach doesn’t trust him with the ball. Duh.

Total no brained.

Defense wins games!!!

this guy has no idea about what he is talking about...to answer your question, yes am the dad who made the initial remark and yes I was recruited to play both D1 lacrosse and D1 football....while this was in the 90s, still very impressive. I had more of an interest in lax and decided to play for a top Ivy team. I have followed the game with my kids and have coached as well. Oldest is getting recruited already. I laugh at the stunad parents of today that think just because your kid plays year round or on a top club today, they think they are the best players. To say the LSM position isn't for a skilled person you have to be a complete stunad....today's offense primarily hinges on getting the ball to to a person who can dodge the shorty....the LSM is the most valuable person on the field - starting from h.s. thru college...it is the most athletic person on the field that can do everything....control the tempo, play defense, transition, offense, man-up, ground balls, wing play, face-offs.....they take the most skilled person that you highlight (pin-point passes, deceptive dodging, etc.) and they take that person away....just like that.....they guard the top middie who is typically the main shooter/dodger and they take that person away and shut'em down...to me that is SKILL

Blah blah blah. Stick to balls and strikes, baseball-boy and leave the lacrosse talk for the ones that know something about the game. Btw. Baseball is a good option for your ‘24. He could get all dressed up in a pretty outfit, and stand around for 3 hours. Yup. That beats running around with that pole any day! Maybe the coach will let him field a grounder, that way he actually gets to touch the ball, unlike playing pole. Hmmm...

I love it when the pole lays your pansie kid on his a** and you jump up and down stamping your feet yelling at the ref's. Then your wife comes over screaming at you and asking what your going to do about it? All the other Dads giggle and say he ain't gonna do nothing cause hes a punk.

darn right. My unskilled pole reads your superstar like a book, waits for him to get his fancy showboat on, then plasters him all over the field. We sit and chuckle on the sideline while your little man cries and you get all beat red in the face from embarrassment.

Actually, pole-daddy, that won’t be happening since contact was taken out of the game a long time ago, but you wouldn’t know that would you baseball-boy. Good thing for your pole, or that would be yet another source of embarrassment for you and your d-pole. May want to keep that baseball option open...

Maybe your son plays girls lacrosse? Does he identify as a girl like his daddy? That would explain a lot.

Wow. Clever response, there, pole-boy. Hope your kid didnt get your IQ genes, like he got your athletic genes. Kid would be in deep doo doo, in life.

wow last time I visit this thread - why is all this necessary?

Guy who doesn't read what is posted. As another example, my 2024 son is the best player in his class in our community and has switched to playing pole. And for context, we are top program in our class - they're only in 6th grade so, who knows where that will go. But that doesn't change the fact that many of the most talented players choose to play pole - they aren't playing pole because of any skill deficiency. So, again, keep on thinking that . . .[/quote]

Go easy there big fella! Getting a little carried away by the topic. And "for context" your program AINT the top program in the '24 class because I am very familiar with all of the top programs, both town and club, and your scenario hasn't happened in ANY of them. Nor would it ever happen, as anyone sporting more than a single brain cell, would know. If the kid can't catch and throw, he goes to pole. Understand now? Thinking maybe you should just start over on that post. It's a real mess. No??

I said "top program in class" as in the NYSPHSAA "class" sense, as context for our community versus other communities - really, reading comprehension by the vast majority of those posting here on BOTC is a sad indicator of the education on LI (if it is representative of the general population - I tend to think it is not, and that a large proportion of BOTC posters are just dumb!). Maybe go back to school, Billy Madison??

Poles aren't skilled? What a stunad, poles are highly skilled!!!!! Ever see Brown or Tufts or now UVA play? .... after the faceoff, first three over the midfield line play O! Now that's fun! Plus the extra leverage you get with your pole allows a faster (and for those with skills) and more deadly shot!

My buddy in Huntington has a car port. See tons of them whenever I visit his house.

You go baseball boy! Keep spouting that ivy crap. I think you’re actually starting to believe it! But you anit fooling any lacrosse people with that charade, pole daddy. Hey. Just get use to the idea. No shame in playing defense if it gets your kid on the field. But I wouldn’t count on anyone throwing him the ball.

Honestly, an embarrassing discussion. If poles weren’t useful and able to athletically match up, why on earth would coaches recruit them? And my guess is they have a greater vested interest in team success than most of the folks on this site. Jeez.

This is boring. When do we start bashing the AA teams again?!!

I see this thread is still dominated by basement buffoons. I don’t blame this buffoons for their nature. I do, however, blame their wives for breeding with them and creating another generation of them.

yeah, I don't blame this buffoons either

Just going by what he posted - as if anyone here has anything else to go on . . . It's kind of interesting that the possibility that someone else might agree with another poster creates skepticism from you - says a lot more about you than anything!

To say the LSM position isn't for a skilled person you have to be a complete stunad....today's offense primarily hinges on getting the ball to to a person who can dodge the shorty....the LSM is the most valuable person on the field - starting from h.s. thru college...it is the most athletic person on the field that can do everything....control the tempo, play defense, transition, offense, man-up, ground balls, wing play, face-offs.....they take the most skilled person that you highlight (pin-point passes, deceptive dodging, etc.) and they take that person away....just like that.....they guard the top middie who is typically the main shooter/dodger and they take that person away and shut'em down...to me that is SKILL

Blah blah blah. Stick to balls and strikes, baseball-boy and leave the lacrosse talk for the ones that know something about the game. Btw. Baseball is a good option for your ‘24. He could get all dressed up in a pretty outfit, and stand around for 3 hours. Yup. That beats running around with that pole any day! Maybe the coach will let him field a grounder, that way he actually gets to touch the ball, unlike playing pole. Hmmm...

I like how how someone critiques a former D1 Ivy lax player as lacking knowledge of the game - what exactly are your bona fides in lacrosse?

I would like to know how you know an anonymous BOTC poster is a former D1 player? Unless you're answering your own posts, stunad.

Just going by what he posted - as if anyone here has anything else to go on . . . It's kind of interesting that the possibility that someone else might agree with another poster creates skepticism from you - says a lot more about you than anything!

A D1 player would not waste his time with this site.

Poles need a different skill set than short sticks. And most poles have the highest lax IQ on the field. Need to know slides, double teams, v holds, man to man, zone, clears, identify what the offense is trying to do against them, where to go with the ball on transition, ball handling skills with a long pole, throw and catch both hands, over the shoulder catches on cleats, over passes, but I can see why you may think they are the weakest players on the field.

No it says more about you! Some stunad who uses the term stunts repeatedly and you take his word as gospel. I have a bridge for sale, interested?

They take registrations up until the week of the event - way to only look to be an a** on this board as opposed to answer any reasonable questions. Another joy to be around, I'm sure; keyboard bully - before the internet, you were probably the kid/guy who everyone was making fun of! Finally your turn to turn this all around on the world. Yeesh!

Due to the winter storms that have hit the Long Island Area this past week we are saddened to inform you that the fields we intended to play on will not be game ready for next weekend's Shamrock Shootout.

In place of the Shamrock Shootout, all registered teams will be entered into our Spring Lax Jam event where the weather's history is a little more pleasant!
Boys Town teams and Girls teams play April 21. Boys Travel teams play April 28. Both competition days will be at the the Sachem Sports Complex in Holtville, NY. Please click here for further details about the Spring Lax Jam.

We here at MyLacrosseTournaments.com realize all that goes into running a youth lacrosse team and know that it is not an easy task so we apology for any inconvenience.

If you have any questions regarding the Shamrock Shootout, or any other MLT event, please let us know by e-mailing us at info@mylacrossetournaments.com

Sincerely,

The Directors of My Lacrosse Tournaments

Forget the Shamrock Shootout.... Come on down to Maryland and play in the spring madness play day. Madlax, Brotherly Love, Bethesda, Team Carolina and Next Leval.

Let’s see. Drive 6 hours to play 13 year olds again, or stay put. I’ll stay put.

I get it. Can only take so many losses. And running out of excuses.

So tired of all the - reclassifications that make it a 3 year swing in age for the best players on the team...... If I did that my son would be all-world as a middie...... He hasn't hit puberty yet and not near 100 lbs, but he does play attack for 91 and looks like jordan wolf with his dodges from X.... If you reclass you may be putting your son in a position he won't be playing in HS...

Shouldn't matter anyway, historically kids on teams like 91 and Taz don't play in H.S. anyway because their parents have burnt them out.

True, I see it now. Some father's run their kids around from privates to clinics back to privates during the entire weekend, not including team practices. Nevertheless, to each is own. But you can see it in some kids, they would rather be doing something other than lacrosse.

Did that just happen?

That’s completely false, you know it, I know it so just stop. Here’s the reality, 91 kids go to HS, are excellent players and most on the top team go D1. Look up the commitments and you will see this. Stop with the false narrative plain

Did that person really say he dodges like jordan wolf??? I'm sorry but that parent needs to have their head examined. Jordan wolf is 1 in a million. Seen that kid play live. He is the real deal. To compare a kid not even 100lbs yet from what the parent said is just plain insanity!

What he meant to say was "in his eyes" he dodges like JW. Remember, it's a Wolfpack parent we are talking about....

Nice try impersonating a WP Parent. Somebody trying to stir up the haters from their late winter slumber. Just continues to prove the point. No WP-Taz talk, no ‘24 board. Proven again, again, and again. Absolutely nothing has been posted on this board for several days. Then when finally something is, guess what the subject matter is?!! Seriously. Why don’t you people talk about your kids team, for a change?? Is there really nothing else worth talking about in the entire world of 24 Lacrosse?? That’s a rhetorical question. You answer that question every day.

Isn't there a 91 Orange team for 2024?

You are very transparent. You are a parent of a below average player on a bad team, trying to justify why your son is in the position he is in. You are not fooling anyone. Now you make up excuses for him, telling yourself, the other kids are better because they have "extra-help" around the clock. Yeah, that must be the reason all of the kids are better than your kid, right?? Let's set the record straight. I know the parents of EVERY top player on both Taz and WP. Other than some goalies and fogo's, not one of them sends their kid to ANY clinics or privates. NOT ONE. So, you keep making excuses for your kid, if it makes you feel better, but try to stop spreading lies in the process.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure there are no Jordan Wolf's on the Orange team. Eye-role. And there are no hold backs on WP. But, you could be right, this could be a parent from the Orange team, as I have never heard a WP parent refer to their team as "91". Just like, you don't hear a Taz parent call their team "Legacy".

In any sport, kids who mail it in and don’t care will eventually fall by the way side, even if talented. But knowing a bunch of these 2024 kids, they’d much rather be playing, hate it when weather cancels practice, and do crazy amounts of work in their spare time to get stronger and better. Not because their parents insist, but because their motor runs high and they want to be better. My son asked me 75 times this winter the date of their first spring game is (a bit worried about his recall skills). And yes, if given the choice, he’d do every clinic he could. All kids are different but please on this forum recognize most of these kids adore the game and don’t consider it “work” to practice shooting, footwork, etc

Sounds like EVERY sore spot was rubbed on this guys ego!

You might know EVERY parent on those two teams but you are wrong. I have seen kids from both those teams at privates and clinics this winter. Not just the bottom half of the team either. An I am not the same guy that wrote that first post.

I've got three kids in different ages and I coach I two other ages, and it takes me all of about 10 - 15 minutes to scan those five boards. Maybe you're just doing it wrong if you takes you that much time to go to JUST ONE board . . .!

Lets be clear on your definition of "hold back" It could be any player born in 2005? Or based off of USlax dob before Aug 31st 2006?

has anyone done any JW1 bootcamps? are they worth it? Figured JoeWalters would be good as my son is a lefty attack

PAL?? LOL. Who cares. Mix top kids with kids who really don't care that they are on the field and you're interested in the results?

PAL teams are still the best indicators of future HS teams success. If you don’t care about it now, you won’t care in four more years either, when these kids are in HS. Because that town team that you hate watching now, is going to be the same town team in four years. Hey. There’s always Catholic school!

Not when you have a team of 25 boys, with half or better having waning interest and little resulting talent, yet have to get continuous time.

PAL is the best indicator of HS success. Thanks for the laugh. That was really funny.

Unless Suffolk PAL has already started (Nassau has not), NO PAL games have been played yet, so no one has lost or won any games yet. This thread is already so played out!

There has been games played already in Suffolk Pal. Commack, SWR, ESM, SACHEM, RVERHEAD AND BBP. Only the teams out in Nassau did not play

So your only response is insulting a whole town which makes no sense (sad) and name calling to parents (funny). LOL & SMH at you, again. If you can't take criticism about what you post and resort to name calling, then don't post.

How did the Warrior tryouts go today?

I hope that’s not the case... At least for 3V’s sake. BTW you need a grammar lesson. Hope your son, is, better, in lacrosse, then you, are writing a simple, sentence.

Not a ton of kids at the North tryout. Couple of good express kids, some 91 kids, few other standouts. No goalies. I personally thought it was a well run 2 hours and an en expensive clinic, but in my opinion, the coaches seemed to care and worked well with the kids. Fairly sure they will have to combine teams given the turnout. But all in all , my son got a lot of reps

Not a 3V parent, but that team should be fine in a few years. They have a great '23 group, and a few good '24's, that elect not to play town. They'll be fine.

How many of your kids have bailed from PAL This year? Our town team is so bad I’m not even sure if they had enough kids to get a team.

It cant be worse then ours. We have had 2 practices all year. And have combined with 7th grade. It is a joke. My son likes playing with his school pals, so we eat the 200$. Drop in the bucket compared to travel.

Maybe you had 2 practices because the fields are terrible this year from the snow every week. Maybe your PAL team can’t afford private space because they don’t charge each kid 3000. It people like you that make it worse. Do them a favor and stay away. At least your son understands and has a good head on his shoulder to understand what sports are about in 6th grade.

Easy big guy, someone p1ss in your wheaties? Plenty of days for makeups and its passed on. Field has been just fine. Not expecting 15 practices...just more then TWO. And other grades in our town have had less then that. And others have had 10. This is my second kid to go through it, and it doesn't get better. Its ok, its the reason we play travel. My son is pretty good, and more importantly he loves the sport (in addition to all the others he does). Off the grandstand please, was just answering the original post honestly.

It seems that this is becoming the rule more than the exception. I know some of the bigger programs don’t see this, but I think the smaller programs are having an issue getting kids to play. Some coaches( not all) have an issue with the kids that play travel due to conflicts in schedule. Unfortunately the kids that play travel are the better kids and when they miss practices or games it does not go over well with Town coach. It’s even tougher when you get kids that only pick up the stick in the spring and can’t throw or catch. My son decided to not play PAL and said he will play with his friends in the district for middle school team next year. Was just curious how many others were in similar boat. A few other kid da on my son’s travel team have also left PAL for various reasons. Time also being one of them. It seems travel teams are less concerned with Sunday games and schedule practices for then as well.

yes club is going to ruin school ball just like they did with soccer . I make my kid play Pal and school ball . I am a bleiever in both. Sports teach children life lessons. It’s not just about who’s the best and winning. Do not get me wrong , we all love to win , but at what cost ? Club is for mastering the skills and learning at a higher level. School ball is about bringing what you learned to the table and lift the play of those around you and playing for your school pride.

Good coaches and teachers teach life lessons. Not only sports. Some of the crazy parents and some daddy coaches acting like every game is the superbowl - teaches nothing. It's not only PAL, some club coaches aren't gems either.

What school teams have problems getting players at the expense of club?? The reference for that problem happening was for PAL, which is a whole different animal, and for up through 6th grade, it's the only option (or compliment) to club.

Are you guys ranking PAL lacrosse?? Lol how do you live with yourselves? I'm willing to take the bet that a large % of dads on here have low level sons in this sport. I pop on here from time to time to see that garbage being written and this PAL ranking tops the list. Go have a catch with your sons and stop sitting here wasting time. I'm in an airport and I feel I just wasted 5 minutes of mine. And yes both my sons play on top teams in top programs and that's a fact so I've been around it all. Keep this in mind as you sit here ranking 11 year olds, my 2019 sons PAL team was middle of the road and had 15 boys on the team. Flash forward to 9th-10th grade, 8 of those boys still play the sport and the rest faded away. The team has changed over a couple of years. Wake up, do you really think the 11 year olds right now will stay the same skill level. The standouts will continue to improve and a bunch will walk away. This is a sad case of "rank" my sons team so I feel better about my sons situation. Nassau and Suffolk are both national powerhouses, I've been a Nassau guy my whole life but I would never say Suffolk cant compete. That's just ridiculous. A PAL team is made up of beginners playing with more experienced players, how can you rank that???? A team can go 0-7 on the season and still have boys on the team that will be your All county and All American players in HS. Go rank Travel teams if you feel the need to judge 11 year olds because that's where the top talent is, but PAL is a play with my friends experience not a "MY town team is better than your town team experience" So lets remember this , you are not on the field, your son is, even if you town team is 'the best" you are not the one padded up. "Nassau better than Suffolk and this town is better that that town blah blah blah. Grow up and enjoy what you have because it wont last and if it does congratulations on your 1\8 of a scholarship.

Yeah. His kids PAL team must be horrendous! He's taking it pretty rough! Unfortunately it's not going to get much better for him, for at least another 7 years.

Was the Blatant Town Cup canceled? It was suppose to be tomorrow (Saturday), but it's no longer listed on the website and it's not listed in Tourney Machine.

The spring league is great. More teams should do it. Better alternative to PAL for the boys that are looking to take their game to the next level.

What teams are in the spring league?

Gcx 24
True blue
Team LI
Laxin with friends
Outlaws
ESM

Its not a PAL league at all. Teams formed with kids from different towns

Wow you sound bitter. Buddy, speaking 2019, the teams that were tops in PAL are still carrying the same weight in HS. So go rank away. The only issue I'd say is, it may be to soon. Wait for the town tournaments. If your son's team was middle of the road they probably weren't ranked then and your bitterness would show they wouldn't be ranked now.

You say rank travel teams instead, that's laughable. To me the real issue is travel vs town. If your town is middle of the road you'll need a strong travel. But for those with strong towns, travel should just augment with the town program and it will pay dividends.

You say you have a 2019 so you will remember the same posts then. Remember team smithtown and 3village GC Manhasset. There should be room for both.

You also say you can have a 0-7 team in PaL and still have all Americans in HS. Okay name them. I don't think so. Unless they moved on to a different HS.

Like you said it goes by fast, so have fun with it

Its in Addition. This is not a PAL league. All teams are travel or made up of travel kids from all over. No Real Town teams Except 1. Would not recommend putting a town team in this league, unless they specify Town teams only in the division.

There are only a couple 'True' Town Teams out there and even so, a lot of the players could play 'club' anyways.

Great win for Express, Beating Wolf pack in the championship!!

Big win for Express. Congrats! They played their hearts and earned that W!

it is so funny how quiet this thread is now. CRICKETS!!! so funny. No one has anything to say unless they a bashing people. This thread will close in a month at this pace.

looks like the Spring jam has some good match ups .

This Poor site has no POSTS!!! Great weekend of LAX and Horrible weather. Will it even take place? Will it be rescheduled???

it will def. take PLACE . With crappy weather.

WOLFPACK!!!! At the top again!

Well deserved !!

Big credit to LIU for not cancelling for the terrible weather.

Nice when you can pull poles from your 2023 to play on the 2024 team.

Fantastic 12 coming up ina couple weeks. WP, 91,express will show em how we play on LI. Heard MD teams just finished their spring season with 91 MD winning it all over Madlax. Bring them on.

Oh man finally back to anonymous posting.....I’ve been so backed up waiting to post......

WP, legacy and Express the best. Rest of you irrelevant and should start your own board.

Ah feel so much better now.

Or middies. 91 MD and Bethesda both added 3-4 2023s who repeated 6th. The way it goes. It’s clear anyone complaining here is dealing with first born because this is nothing new at this age and only accelerates next couple years.

No 2023s joined MD91. (Can’t speak for Bethesda who have certainly improved.)

I thought the Christian Koehler tournament was very well run. The refs were great! I know our boys had alot of fun.

May want to rethink killing the kids with long, grueling practices, several times per week, 10 months per year. The best team hardly practices. Whoops! The secret is out! Lol!!

Question: How in the heck did Taz lose to True Blue this past Fall? Seriously, I don’t think TB would have won the B division at Blatant. Mind boggling.

Agree with the TB win over WP but let's not get crazy thinking they wouldn't have won the B bracket.

So the defenseman (the one who takes face offs with the long pole) and looks like he's 5 '10 170 is 12?

darn you guys grow them big in Maryland

If I have to hear one more Express parent complain about lack of practices and a coach who is never there....please....you know what you signed up for!

The win was over Taz not WP. I watched a lot of the B games that day, and I didn’t see any difference. If you are right, I can guarantee you that more than one of those B teams would give TB all they can handle. Being totally serious. No bashing intended.

Those B teams are not going against the top 2 teams in the nation.

Stop it. Not even close to the truth. The team beat 91 and lost two one goal games to legacy and 91 in the next tourney. And all the coaches are varsity coaches and May is busy for them.

who cares , means nothing . Just enjoy the competition and don’t get sucked it to the pot stirring..

That kid turned 13 back in April. Fact!

Who will be the top teams going into and coming out of the Fantastic 12 Tournament in Maryland this weekend?

- Any upsets?
- Any teams pulling out?
- Who will sweep round one?
- Who will win it all?

Top 6 heading to this week
1 WP
2 91 MD
3 Madlax
4 Taz - lots of excuses but haven’t won a tournament with WP or Madlax in over a year and a tough 5 to 2 loss to WP
5 Express - much improved
6 BLC

Madlax 24 stronger than ever. Looks for us to sweep everyone this summer. Again.

Fantastic 12 this weekend. The National Championship of 2024 Lacrosse. WP defending its title against every top team out there. These 250+ kids are the future of this sport. Whatever happens this is some Awesome lacrosse to watch! LI vs MD at its finest. Lets get it on

They play there because they know Schwalje will cut them next year.

By 1 goal. Team 91 played out of their minds. Madlax wins this weekend easily.

Agreed!!

Madlax lost to 91 MD and Hawks this year in HoCo, and was 4th in the league. 91 MD won the league.

Should be a great weekend of lax

I guess you guys were wrong about that. TB let up 3 goals all tourney and scored over 30.

Did Madlax dominate anyone today, doesn't look like it

Tourney Machine says 8-4 MD9D1 over Taz

Well keep hoping, not even close.

Hey mom, your son played well, but don't get carried away. No matter how good you think he is, it is a long hard road, and there is always someone better.

Solid weekend of lax, despite the rain. Top 4 teams were 91MD (champ), Taz (finalist) BLC and MadLax (semi finalist).

Foolish statements. very strange how Maryland has the biggest 6th graders on the planet. almost the six of the 8th graders.

Long Island did fine. Every team playing had a few big kids, give it a rest. The 91MD team has been together since the 3rd grade and basically work together year around. No one said anything about size of kids when your teams were winning. Good weekend, great lacrosse.

In general, Fantastic 12 was a great event with very little measurable difference between the top 8 teams. There was a bit of a drop between 9-12, but the top 4 teams in HoCo (91MD, Mad Lax, Hawks and BLC) all showed well along with the 3 top LI teams (91WP, Legacy, Express) and Brotherly Love from Philly. Not sure if there is another team better than those 8 out there.

Good youth lacrosse all weekend, and plenty of future stars on the field for all of those teams.

If we had all of our gys, madlax 24 wins easily. and we have no holdbacks. funny how LI dads cry and make up crap whenever they lose.

no one from long island said half the team was not there. That's MADLESS excuses. NO one cares about Madlax. Just know it was Tournament full of great competition. HATS off to the winner 91 MD team and the runners up Legacy Taz. Was a lot of great lacrosse players, and teams . The way it should be.

Agreed. And Taz played great, with a gritty win over WP and a nice run to the final game. Any one of the teams above could have won, as there were a lot of very close games. Would have liked WP to go deeper but poor goal differential from a tough bracket gave them Legacy in the first round of the championship bracket. Tough luck for a talented squad.

MD does not participate in WSL. Long Island is the only area that think it's worth the cost.

Did 91 MD bring in the guest players from TX and NC?

Schedule is out for NLF at Stony Brook this weekend. WP has BLC as a first game. They seemed to put up a good fight against Taz this past weekend. Any scouting reports to share?

Yes. They are good. Like all of these teams. Maybe ask WP Mommy not to scream so much, it seems to motivate every team they play against. wolfPACCCCCCCCCK.

No, they did not need to. They had the refs in their pocket. It was unreal.

My son plays on a B team and wins a lot of Championships. Why doesn't the coach move and play in an A division for just one tourney? Is it his ego? Does he need another T-Shirt. The A team in our club plays in all the A tournaments. They don't ever win the championships but they compete against better competition. As a former player I know that is the only way to improve. I don't have any visions of grandeur my son belongs on the B-Team but I hear him an his teammates talk about how they are better than the A-Team because the A Team never wins the championship. Then I have to knock him down a peg but am I wrong for doing that?

This is such a great perspective, I could not agree more....and nothing wrong with setting your kid straight every once in a while, you are not alone on that one

What club is this?

No not wrong. It’s a mix. Play better teams to see how you can get better (it’s eye opening), and at your own level so kids win and have fun. No one needs to get drilled by 12 goals every game.

Maybe, in the B division. Maybe.

LOL. We've been kick LI's butt for years, and that's not gonna change.

Why don’t you play against the A team to see how you stack up?

What B team is that dominant that win a lot of championships? I haven’t seen one team dominate the B division.

How does this clubs A team do in tournaments is the question.
If they don't fare well why would the B team think they would.
Secondly,A teams don't enjoy beating up on weaker teams, it does neither team any good

The A team does well. Obviously no contender for Taz or WP but can compete with the others. The problem is my son couldn't keep up with them so he needs to play B but his B team never plays better competition I truly think the coach couldn't handle a few losses in a row.

Igloo Frostbite is by far the best of the B teams and the others shouldn’t be in A brackets cause they would get destroyed.

Hats off the schedule guru at JC17 this weekend. O'Reilly is the same coach and they schedule his teams around the same time at 3 different fields. Lol. Can't make this up.

Do the Outlaws have this issue as well? I was thinking of having him tryout for them.

Both outlaws teams are similar. Won’t beat the top 5 or 6 teams, but can compete with everyone after that.

They definitely play up against tougher competition.

You can't always blame the coach. They send both team to the same tournaments and I don't think the coach has control of the schedule. I know that coach was moved up to the A team but refused because he was not allowed to choose the players he wanted. The organization wanted to control the players he picked.

Funny that you are discussing B teams. Compare to madlax, everyone else is a B team.

Well that's why rumors are flying that a lot of the teams are moving to the Rebels.

Name one B team better than TB

I think this person is referring to the Outlaws B team being better than the TB B team(Jaguars). No way is any B team better than TB Goat.

The Hawks 2024 looked really good this weekend. They have some really good players on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. From what I have seen and heard they are definitely a team on the raise.

Props to the IGLOO B Team playing in an A division at the JC17. Here is a coach that actually gets it. Play better competition to improve or stay in the B Level and win another T-shirt.

Not exactly a loaded A bracket though outside of TB.

Not the point. The point is they put them up to a challenge when they could have played in the B division and ran away with it. The B Division teams were all horrendous.

so true , they were more like C Teams, that's why Igloo had to play up. good job for them and the coaches.

should be a good one. Igloo a I would say better than TB..

There are 3 A teams on LI. Taz, WP and Express. That's it. Any of these teams can beat each other on any given weekend. And no there is no animosity between these teams. Bottom line is this is the year that you should move your son to the highest of level team that he can play on. Sitting back and playing on these other teams is a waste of time. Having your son shine on these weaker teams is a joke. When he gets put against these other players shell shock will happen. And if you don't think so look at some of the scores in their tournaments. How can you put a Travel team who loses to town teams in a ranking bracket. I have watched these B\C teams and daddy ball is still in the mix. If that doesn't change everyone else is wasting their time. And yes for those of you who don't think there is high level lacrosse starting at this age you are clueless. Amazing how there are Dads who will always say something doesn't exist when their son cant keep up. Watch out for the guys who stay involved with a team to keep there son from sitting on the sidelines and taking another kids spot on the team that deserves the PT. That's warning #1. They don't see the reality of their situation. All I see is jabbing back and forth here when its real simple. Be realistic with your sons ability..either he should stay where he is or if he has the skills put him with the bigger dogs. stop sheltering. Too much entitlement and "who you know" involved. Either you kid can hang at this point or he cant, stop influencing the outcome.

Agreed on Taz, Express, and WP getting along. At the Millon tourney and other times in the past, they root for the other LI teams vs PA and MD teams. A lot of pride and mutual respect n LI lacrosse.

I would agree but some of these higher level lacrosse teams play daddy ball as well. I would rather my son play on weaker teams than to make one of the top 3 L.I. teams and never get put in the game. Not sure how that is helping your kid. What about the kids who have the skills to play with the bigger dogs, they make the team but not be good enough to make a contribution to the team during game time. Why as a parent would I want to put him on this type of team just for the sake of saying he plays for one of the top 3 teams on the island. Makes no sense. I rather him play than not play.

I have heard of some youth club teams carrying as many as 28 players. Which is crazy. I don't how many these 3 carry but I do know that not all players on these teams get quality playing time.

Not true. That's where you may be fooling yourself. If your son is good, he will play . I have seen it. You are only fooling yourself by saying your child is good enough but wont get playing time. If a kid is good he will Play. The Higher level teams want to win just the same, and the best players will get on the field. I have seen time and time again kids on B teams not getting playing time. So the statement you made can apply to any level. As far as daddy coaches are concerned.

22-24 including 2 goalies. All kids get to play, tougher games they may shorten bench like all teams seem to do. Those teams you need to earn your spot, hope that helps.

That is way too many players to obtain quality minutes.

In a perfect world the best players would play. But we don't live in a perfect world. I have seen plenty of kids who deserve playing time not get it. If my son is good enough to make the strongest team than he should also be good enough to help make a contribution during the game. Not playing everyone in youth lacrosse is stupid. Or just be honest and tell the parent that their son only made the team because they needed practice players.

I will take playing on a weaker team if it means I can get on the field vs playing on a stronger team and not touching the field any day of the week.

If your kid is on a B team and doesn't get in the game, then you should put your child on a C team or rec team. The point is, your child needs to be on the field to get better and not on the sidelines. You get better by playing not be only watching.

You do get better by practicing on your own, but you also need to get better in game situations at real game speed. Can't practice game situations with a wall or bounce back.

I could not agree with this statement anymore. What is the point of playing teams you know you can beat. While maybe you don’t want to play the big 4 all the time and get crushed, you have to play up and challenge the kids.

He is referring to the speculation that Express has 2023's on the team that plan on reclassifying next year but are still in 7th grade this year. Just what I heard, I don't have kids birth certificate or report cards.

Because lax circles are small and certain towns in nassau county are even smaller

Every team on LI has 2-4 kids that repeated a grade...vast majority when they were younger. And for other reasons then lacrosse. Every single team.

Some interesting scores on Tourney Machine from NAL this weekend. Some big time match ups.

Pool Play
Madlax 5, Legacy 4
T91MD 9, Hawks 0

Semis
Madlax 6, Bethesda 5
Legacy 6, T91MD 0

Finals
Madlax 6, Legacy 5

wolfpack champs!

Not true.

All the boys on the Schwalje team are wsyl eligible. Fix the few gaps and they win it next year!

Madlax killed it. Again. No shock there.

i was shocked to see legacy taz- beat 91 maryland 6-0 this past weekend

Nothing away from MADLAX. , they are a great team. Well coached. The Refs robbed Bethesda. some really good Lax, but they need to find Refs that know how to call games.

Funny how quick people are to put another team down. All the post said was “Wolfpack champs”. Not the are the best ever, like crazy Madlax guy. Also, Wolfpack has already beaten 3 of those teams on your list, this summer. And lost to 9D1 Maryland by a goal. It seems more like there are 6 or 7 teams, maybe more, that are competitive and can win on any given day.

I agree with you . WP is a great team. Very Competitive. can beat anyone of those teams on any given day.

Great tournament and kudos to all the teams stepping up to play in the A bracket.

91MD was shut out this weekend. And Wolfpack scored 1 goal that Hawks game. So, fact check before you make statements

Unless they moved the date from September back to April you’re incorrect.

Madlax won 4 games by 1 goal so I wouldn't say they killed it. They are good-great goalie and the biggest kid in 6th grade ever.

I doubt they are ALL wsyl eligible. But I know at least 12 of the kids were born in 2005, and can speculate another 5 are 2005's. The theory of 2-4 may fit the B level teams.But the majority of the A level teams have over half the roster size concentrated with 2005's.

The new 24 east team had Taz kids on it?

Are there any great coaches at this age group?

At what point does a coach blame himself for a team's continued failure---esp at this age when they have rotated and swapped out players for years? And when does the head of an organization say, ya know what, maybe it's not the players....Does this EVER happen?

When does the tri-star schedule come out normally?

Definitely happens. Hawks and 91MD were knotted at 0 at half this weekend and 91 MD caught fire and won 10-0. Then they got blanked 6-0 the next day to Taz. It happens with kids this age.

What's your definition of failure? Most of the top teams have good coaching (91, Taz, BLC, Hawks) and a couple teams (Mad Lax and 91MD) are actually coached by their respective program directors because their sons are on the team. All of those teams have experienced success over the past few years either at their League or winning tournaments.

Other programs like Looneys and Crabs have had coaching changes and less success. Not sure of the other LI teams like Express or Igloo.

Like I said keyboard warrior, say it to his face. Classic case of deflection, won't address the issue, but will redirect to something else. Sorry for the fancy style of writing, probably too advanced for you.

South shore Igloo dads are just as bad. What a bunch of animals. yelling and screaming non stop. Hey guys, relax, your kids and your team aren't that good.

You are absolutely correct! One of the coaches of 24 Lax East has a kid on Taz. They didn’t travel with Taz this weekend. 24 Lax East also has middie who isn’t in 6th grade playing down. My son asked him on the field cause he was so big and the kids teammates admitted he was a going into 8th. Classy move!

Whats all the griping about??
They did'n win or even make the finals , so whats the big deal??? SLOP....#thuglife

You must have enjoyed losing 6-4 first time.. If you want to see what wt looks like, look in the mirror. Don't take it out on others because you lost to wolf pack again. You are the perfect example of what is wrong with youth sports

Then why bring in Taz kid and a 7th grader? Teams bringing in older / guest kids just to say they can beat certain teams and then calling those teams not good... such a joke.... Parents and Coaches should be ashamed of themselves to even allow it to happen. What are you teaching your kids?! The top organizations in Long Island are 91, Legacy, Outlaws and Igloo - they don't cheat just to win!

Why do you care what team the kid plays with. That was his original team, coached by his dad before he went to TAZ. I just don't understand why is this such a big deal who this kid plays with, he's of age and he did play with another team that day a grade up also. What do you mean guest player? I guess you're there to see what practices he attends or not. Kids in basketball, soccer and almost any other AAU sport play with more than one team and no one complains.

LAX the place 5'6 dads try everything to get jr an advantage even picking on another kid. Why don't you guys go up to the dad or the team, or tournament director for that matter and say this is not fair I don't want my kid playing against this team.

All hail the legion of keyboard warriors.

Outlaws? They are not close to a top program anymore. They’re last good team is 2022. Express and True Blue should be on their before outlaws.

I think what the poster was saying was those teams don’t bring in kids on tournament days just to gain an advantage on that day vs a certain teams. I would think it would matter to the kids if they brought in outside kids to make them better for a game or 2. And the parents that paid after accepted to a team and now your playing behind a hired gun.

If you have issues complain some where else. the kid is a good player and if he chooses to play on another team that's his choice. He was a part of that team for a long time, do not see what the issue is.

So, the kid who plays on TAZ, was a TLI player first. From what I can see, Taz asked him to play with them, BUT he was a TLI(now 24 East player first), so that seems fair enough. Don't know enough about the other kid, but off if he is age appropriate, so let it be. Also, from watching the one of the games, no other kids were brought in for a tournament. Sounds like a a little jealousy that 24 East beat Igloo the first game 6-4, and barely won the second game, but a win is a win. Igloo parents are dropping in excess of 3K to play, so they probably expect to win everything. Also, any truth that Igloo tapes and watches video in 6th grade lacrosse? If there is any truth to that, you people have some serious deep rooted issues. Think about it, taping and reviewing 6th. grade lacrosse.

I don't get why watching video is so bad. If the goal of practicing is to get better then why would you frown upon using a hammerhead like video? It gives real insight in to what to work on and what happens in a game. Now, if you're out recording other teams and watching them for game planning that's a bit bizarre at the 6th grade level but I don't think using video of your team or player to get better is bizarre. Of course I'm not going to be the guy with the camera doing the recording but using it as a hammerhead for improvement is no less bizarre then sending your son to a clinic, a camp or a trainer.

quite frankly , i am surprised more programs are not using video . in a visual electronic world where every kid has an i pad or phone of some sort, what better hammerhead to use then to show these children how they can improve in both games and practice.

I know this is probably frowned upon on this forum, BUT props for an well written articulate response. I still think video at the 6th grade level is ridiculous, but I can see your point. Thank you.

Go to YouTube and there are highlight reels on their kids 6th grade or less, check it out

A kid’s childhood memories and achievements don’t count? Is that why a highlight reel is ridiculous? When do memories matter?

Anyone know if Orange Crush is any good?

So, memories and achievements of him playing or highlight reels for evaluation of other teams? If the former, I get it, if the latter, 11 year olds man, 11 year olds.....

if that turns out to be true, my thought is 91 is a good club and they will find a good coach for a great team. So do not think they are worried about it.

all the AA players are on express and igloo. Rebels is outlaws .

Is there any truth to the story that a referee was kicked out of the Wolfpack Exprees game? Or is this being overblown?

This is laughable. Did you interview the kids or something? Is your kid even on the team?

True. Guess the guy has had some issues before. Both teams handled it very well. LI teams played each other well this weekend. Congrats to WP on winning one for the Island.

A lot of haters on this site. Amazing how you can rank teams and pull teams in and out of the top 5. Seems like a lot of WP haters on here yet the team finds ways to win. These are parents of lower level teams bashing on here or just parents who have nothing better to do with their time. If you watch WP\Taz or WP\Express WP\91MD these parents have no animosity towards each other and I see a lot of hand shaking and Great game comments from all sides. So stop the S#&% stirring and go work on your kids skills. Anyone of these teams can beat each other on any given day that's what makes this so great. WAKE UP!! if your son is good enough to be on any of these top 4 or 5 teams he is getting the best experience by going up against the best this grade has to offer...yet you sit here and act is if your ranking system matters. Note to any parent who has a son on these top teams, don't let these haters draw you into any animosity against these other top teams, there is a mutual respect between these teams and you see it when these boys walk off the field and are high fiving each other. Yes in the beginning of these teams internal jabs between parents were a problem but now its got to the point where you should realize this high competitiveness is the best thing that can happen to these select kids. You are watching some legit lacrosse and its inspiring. EMBRACE IT!

I think people need to realize that some parents/coaches/ players play and coach on multiple teams like myself and my son because we love the game and love growing the game. I will be the first one to complement and help a kid on and off the field without any prejudice my player or opponent. I understand that my son plays for multiple teams and I coach him on most of those and that bothers some people. No apologies but understand that the our love of the game is the reason we are involved and won’t change that for a few people that are upset by it. Grow the game!!!

Hey, you do get around. Last week I saw you with a national team, this weekend it was upstate. More power to you! If you really want to grow the game, provide lessons to under privileged kids here on LI and NYC, better yet convince the owners of clubs you coach which your son plays on to sponsor some of under privileged kids here on LI or in NYC. Listen, the bottom line is you do it for one reason and one reason alone, "Yourself." People can see right through you...

Does anyone think it was a little fishy that Wolfpack and Taz tied their game to assure both made the championship bracket.

Like the Fulton Fishmarket on a hot August day.

Lol. Yeah 20 12 year olds got together and decided to scam the system and have a tie so they can make a bracket. hahah I have now seen it all. Maybe your son and his team are just not that good. Dad is a B player in life and his son is now a B lacrosse player. You are a great role model. Go put your Polk High jersey back on and tell your family about the good ole' days.

Wow. I really thought I had seen it all on this website, but obviously not. Unimaginable comment. You are one very sorry person.

Both teams would have gone through regardless. (Though by making it 8-8, the game fixers made it too close for comfort on game differential.)

They have some kids that are so obviously older its laughable. All teams have a few I guess, but when it turns into "give it to #3" its pathetic. Do what you have to do I guess.

It’s gotten to the point that teams cannot compete unless they have holdbacks. Next year some of the kids will be able to drive themselves to practice

Not even going to get into it with you. You lost to the same team without that boy 3 times this year. Get a grip. You guys are a good team, and Competitive. No need for excuses why you lost. Losing to good teams is nothing to be ashamed of. Your best pole was taken out of the game by shadowing. You have plenty of talent to win games .

First off, the kid is not slow. second. One of the smartest IQ's around. Would want him on my team if I had to pick. So Please, no one is buying stupid here. try again.

Do you really think these teams conspired together to tie a game so they can both make the playoffs. They are the two top teams on the island. If one wins one week someone says they are the best if someone else wins the next week the other team stinks. If they tie the Fix was in. Any kid who is bigger is called a holdback. The Cowardly posting about kids and families is ridiculous. These are 12 year old BOYS not the NY Yankees.

These boys are all great players and nice kids. It’s the parents on threads like this who ruin it.

The kid can be shut down when he plays in the 2025 Bracket. I've seen it happen in the past when the Geese make the call for reinforcements. We all know the kid is good, but at this point he needs to play on grade. The father is not doing right by his kid.

Amen to that! A lot of truly pathetic people on here. Find a new hobby!!

How is prime time 24? Any northern teams any good? Eclipse? Express north?

Also, the boys all root for each other and have respect for each other and actually know how good they ALL are. Taz and Wp actually get along and have respect for each other. The coaches get along as well. No drama at all. Only people from the outside who wish there son could be part of it. A lot of jealous and crazy lax parents around. Enjoy the ride it will end soon and these kids will be focused on HS teams. No one cares who wins or loses these games. Especially the kids. Stop ruining it by throwing stones to stir the pot. It’s shameful. Remember they are still young kids.

the boy has great lacrosse IQ, without a doubt, but being small and younger, he cannot execute..plain and simple..He hung around a year too long IMO..should have played his age group last season, this season was basically a clock killer behind GLE

I have to say, when that team plays my sons team (a good team), I couldn’t tell you if he was even on the field for any of the games. Totally serious. If he is on the field, he is invisible. Does nothing. Against bad teams, maybe he does pretty well. I don’t know. My understanding is that grade-wise, he is playing up. But age-wise, he is not. Regardless, if he was my kid, I would have been playing him on grade for at least the past few years.

I do not see how challenging your child in anyway hurts him, If he holds his own at the level. Which from what I can see he does. To each his own I guess. If you are not on the team what would it matter to you anyway. or are you ?

I am on the team and the kid MORE then holds his own. Great player definitely helps out team. Move on

do the top teams at 2024 play to win or is there relatively equal playing time in the close games?

for the top 2024 teams it has been play to win and at all costs - there is no equal playing time. It has been this way since they were in 2nd-3rd grade, especially taz and wp

Those are rumors. I can tell you for a fact, he is not leaving the Outlaws and the Outlaws are not folding. The Rebels are forming AA level teams only from what we have been told and the Outlaws will continue having A and B level teams.

I can tell you for a fact that PB is working for his son because the buy out states that his partner buys him out without conflicts and defamation. PB is gone and good bye for good. Another PB lie.

PB is slowly moving away. Now works for Blatant. Still owns part of the Outlaws but no longer running organization.

What makes you think they will have AA teams.
Does LI really need another club

We already have too many 2nd rate clubs.

Not sure where you are getting this information from but I got it directly from the source himself. PB works for Blatant as a paid employee not as a business partner and he is not in anyway affiliated with the Rebels. Why would he leave an organization that has sustained over a dozen teams for over a decade that he is the partial owner of and go to this new program that you do not know how many teams they will get considering this industry and especially on LI with how difficult it is to start and build a new program so why would he leave. Also, every think MB is looking to prosper himself...he just had to cancel their individual summer recruiting showcase so that's 40-50k out the door so he is looking to grow himself with no partner.

not true at all. That said , every club team plays to win.

Exactly!!! They should have started it at the younger levels and built up. Otherwise it will be Outlaws 2.0. Doesn’t make any sense for kids in 2024 and older to start with a new program.

He works as a full time paid employee for Blatant running their tourneys and will not be as involved with the Outlaws as much as in the past. Whatever that means people can figure out for themselves. Blood is thicker than water. Probably a good thing for the Outlaws.

But it happens over and over. You now have Rebels and Rush starting up. There are about 20 AA kids on LI. Most of those are split between 3 teams. I’m not sure if those kids are going to leave there in a WSYL year. If that happens again, silly tourney but great experience for the kids that go.

Heard there was a lot of different theories floating around here.

I encourage anyone with any questions to call the Blatant HQ at anytime 516-586-8162, to ask any questions. We will take the time to talk to you, and I promise you will get a much more genuine answer than from an anonymous poster.

I hired my father full time to work at Blatant to help with our expanding events business, and really enjoy working with him every day along with my brothers who also work for Blatant. Rebels Lacrosse club is a new organization that is starting this fall. We will have only 1 team per age, all-inclusive pricing, ,year round training in addition to practices, 3 coaches per team, constant and consistent communication, the best gear in the game and much more. I know there are concerns stated above about attracting players, I can assure you we are very satisfied with the overall tryout registrants and overall communication we have had with the Long Island Lacrosse community.

I would love to invite anyone to stop into our warehouse to chat about the Rebels Lacrosse Club and Blatant in general. Again, any questions stop by or call... and don’t believe everything you read on BOTC.

If you're not giving your money to PB who cares what club he's running or affiliated with. Just remember, the bottom line is about them making money, you pay them to use your kids to win games, which lures other kids into the fold.

Bottom line. These boys are not 8 years old anymore. The best take the field in close games as it should be. This isn't PAL. It comes down to letting go of the PAL Daddy ball mindset and being honest about your kids ability. Too many dads out there that refuse to truly see what there kids skill level is. Its not just catching and throwing anymore, its size, speed, quick first and second move, niftiness and most important IQ. Top travel teams are not for everyone and if you cant handle how close games or tournaments are handled then you shouldn't be part of it. Its real simple if your son was an AA player he would be on a AA team if he tried out for them and they would use him in close situations, if he's not then you are seeing your sons ability in a way that nobody else sees. These coaches want to win and putting the best clientele on the field is how its done. These coaches work hard on developing these kids and come tourney time they know who put in the work and can get the job done. Also hopping from team to team doesn't help since coaches look at that as someone who they cant trust to stay in the program. So before pointing out any 1 or 2 teams every good travel team does the same thing. The space between the committed skilled player and the kid who is not sure about wanting to play or doesn't truly put the work in is growing. Best thing you can do in be honest with who your kid is and what he is capable of, by doing that it makes being on these AA teams an easier ride.

Completely accurate statement. There is no AA team that doesn’t shorten their bench to the best of the best, in competitive games. Absolutely none.

These coaches want to win and putting the best clientele on the field is how its done. These coaches work hard on developing these kids and come tourney time they know who put in the work and can get the job done. Also hopping from team to team doesn't help since coaches look at that as someone who they cant trust to stay in the program. So before pointing out any 1 or 2 teams every good travel team does the same thing. The space between the committed skilled player and the kid who is not sure about wanting to play or doesn't truly put the work in is growing. Best thing you can do in be honest with who your kid is and what he is capable of, by doing that it makes being on these AA teams an easier ride.

Completely accurate statement. There is no AA team that doesn’t shorten their bench to the best of the best, in competitive games. Absolutely none.

This is a crazy statement. The Outlaws select team has a few talented players that can probably compete in AA then there are kids on the team that just aren't there yet. This is because of some kind of coaching/director disagreement that occurred after last years tryouts. This caused the select team to just go out and grab a warm body. So why shouldn't the kids who can compete tryout for the Rebels? These talented kids along with some unhappy TB, Taz, WP, or Igloo boys might be able to make a real competitive team. BTW the coaching/director disagreement was the best thing that could have happen to the select team the current coaches are outstanding lacrosse coaches.

is it likely Taz , express or WP are looking for players at this point? meaning for next year

There is no loyalty at this level. If a kid can play and he is better than an existing player its goodbye to the existing player, as well as it should be.

MB only plays his select favorites and everyone else sits or has significantly less game time. What was so bad before that MB couldn't fix? NOTHING is the answer. It's just another money grab. I'm staying with the Outlaws.

Rush should be great! Director Bret J has worked his way out of 3 clubs in 5 years and this year their team hasn't really beat anyone. Let's join!

if there is a good player they will look at him. That’s the lie you hear so people don’t try out. If you think your kid has what it takes to play AA BALL , you would be foolish not to let them try. BEST Competition at the grade level.

My son also plays with current Outlaw team. And this is the best thing ever, will finally combine 2 teams at this age and compete at a higher level than currently happening.

Is your son going to Rebels or Outlaws?

All the top players going to Rebels

They beat igloo then lost in the playoffs to them the next day.

No LI teams brave enough to come to DC to face Madlax. Guess you were embarrassed enough at Fantastic 12.

Agree. Top AA always looking to add talent. Don't listen to anyone who tells you different, most of the time they are scorned parents who's kid didn't make the top AA teams across the board and they will blame it on an "inside job". Bottom line if your kid can play with the AA boys he will be welcomed onto the team. If he was skipped over across the board then you might want to be honest about your boys ability at this point. Don't be delusional

Who are 24 Lax East? Is this another new program trying to run travel teams...Good luck but my kids will stay with the established teams and not new programs who can't get into top tournaments and most likely who don't have relationships with college coaches which applies for my 8th grader and not my 6th grader

he is 12 yrs old. PERIOD!!!!

Besides Millon events and NLF super series what top tournaments can these teams not get in? And if you kid is playing in those I wouldn’t worry about new teams. Has the Duke coach called you yet about your 6th and 8th grader?

There are a few kids that are older on that team. Either way does not matter.

If that kid is 12 then i dont know what he is doing on that team.

They are not that good, they compete in B tournaments .

this AA is all nonsence! It is all about hold backs. from MD LI Ct MA their best players are all hold backs!!born in 2005. I even know some boys born in early months of 2004. Have age based tournaments you will see all the b teams filled with on age 2006's.become the AA teams

That statement comes from a parent that can not face reality of their child's ability. School ball is always based on grade, not age. You are going to have to deal with the fact that you can not blame others for a child's ability to keep up. I see many kids play up in grade.

Unless he is an 05 or plays on another top team, highly unlikely.

Here come the B team dads! Only holdbacks...Born in ‘O5 blah blah blah. My sons on a AA team and they are all ‘06. Your boy can’t hang, move on Daddy Coach. Or let me guess it’s all the AA coaches that are wrong about your little Johnny, right?

I face realty.The reality is I watched many on age kids with better skill level and lax IQ's loose out spots to older bigger or just more mature kids.the reality is this is a YOUTH sport!!! the AA clubs are saturated with 05's and 04's.in the racel to get wins at any cost. more wins equal more kids, more kids equal more $.Reality in check over here.Thanks

The reply that age based is silly because in high School they will be all different ages is not a real answer. 05’s competing at 2024 is exactly what the math tells you it is. The math doesn’t lie! Every team has them and everyone knows who they are.

It’s like winning with an asterisk.

Yes you won but you also have 3 05 kids scoring all the goals.
Nice job

I do not have a older kid. But there are some older kids on the team. It does not bother me in the least, because nothing has changed, and nothing will change. Get over it, its old. No asterisk, as everyone has a few...and most repeated early in their academic careers for various reasons (non being lacrosse). Roll over and get off the keyboard, reality isnt always smooth.

is it illegal? no. is it not fair? probably. is it going away? no. so stop whining and just let the kids play. somebody is gonna win. somebody is gonna lose. hopefully what happens in between all that the kids are taught the game of lax and competition and some good life lessons. enjoy the ride peeps because it passes us by like a blink of an eye!!!

the funny thing is I know 4 B teams that have 05 kids on them . I am sure all of them do. So with that said, your point holds no water and you do need a reality check. If your kid was good enough to play A Ball he would be playing . So don’t come on the board and claim 05 kids are talking his spot. There are 06 kids playing on AA teams . They are also taking your sons spot. Your theory Makes no sense .

You guys should be here in DC. MADLAX 2024 destroying everyone.

So, basically, it's okay for you to cheat because you know someone else is doing it. I know plenty of teams that don't. I accept that these teams cheat. You have to accept that your team would be different if they didn't. I'm sure they'd still be good, but it wouldn't be what it is if they weren't cheating. It's ok. We all know. But the board is for teams with kids graduating in 2024, not 2023. People are cheating and we get that it won't stop until some form of age/roster verification is put into place with these tournaments because the owners of these franchises are, let's face it, sort of scummy and the venues just don't care beyond getting the entrance fees.

that’s where your stupidity comes in to the conversation. Grade base has 05 and o6 kids on the team . There is plenty of 05 kids that are in 6th grade . If it was age based it would not. So how is it cheating when lacrosse is grade based. If a 7th grader is playing in 2024 that would be cheating and I would understand your comment. I am sure there are plenty of teams that do that. Just do not assume just because a kid is 05 he is not on grade.

I'm at a tournament this weekend watching my normal age 2024, and Express, Laxachusettes, etc... have 2024 teams where almost every player is bigger than the 2023 teams. It's pretty sad how dominant they are because of the older age against the normal 2024 kids and watching the parents clap like their kid is Paul Rabil.

I think it’s great to see 06 kids battle it out with with B plus 05 players.
My son essentially has an opportunity to play up without going all in.
Of course there are great 06 players that can play well, but ask yourself who are the best players at the grade ? Something tells me your top 3 are born in 05....just sayin.....
The is board is just a an outlet for saying what everyone is thinking. We can do that in this country.
God bless America.🇺🇸

This is the standard for youth lax. Just put your 05 in with the 2023s and you tell me your thoughts on the 04s.

I don’t understand. Shouldn’t the 2023s also have older/bigger kids by this theory? There is a logic gap here.

In the holdback v holdback final, lax black smokes express

Even if those kids are holdbacks (and you have zero idea if they are), it's grade based lacrosse, so nobody is cheating. God, LI dads love to cry about anything.

6-4 final and you are the reason register to post was a good thing. How many times did you refresh tourney machine until the final appeared. Scoreboard watching of a youth lacrosse game is so funny.

whatever masshole. I heard the catholic elementary school was signing up 2023s to repeat 7th grade at the tournament so they were eligible for the playoffs today.

Also, lobster pants, how do the parents feel when 5 or 6 of your "new" 2024s show up in the middle of the summer? Wicked good i bet

that’s where your stupidity comes in to the conversation. Grade base has 05 and o6 kids on the team . There is plenty of 05 kids that are in 6th grade . If it was age based it would not. So how is it cheating when lacrosse is grade based. If a 7th grader is playing in 2024 that would be cheating and I would understand your comment. I am sure there are plenty of teams that do that. Just do not assume just because a kid is 05 he is not on grade.

So you found a way to cheat the system? Congrats. Sooner or later that cheat code will stop working when your holdback has to step up and play against kids who have already grown. Something tells me your kids are in for a rude awakening. Good luck, redshirts.

If you
Can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen.

No one is calling anyone a cheater donkey.
You can have 04s in 2024— you can have a 16 year old in 2024–

And people have a problem with us taking notice ?!,!?
Grade vs age... I get it....
you keep parading your 05 around and I will keep watching him dominate for the next maybe 2 years until the entire grade goes through puberty.

if its so bad, have your kid play another sport. You will find something else to complain....

It’s like winning with an asterisk.

Yes you won but you also have 3 05 kids scoring all the goals.
Nice job

the funny thing is , I know 4 b teams that have 05 kids on them.

I do not have a older kid. But there are some older kids on the team. It does not bother me in the least, because nothing has changed, and nothing will change. Get over it, its old. No asterisk, as everyone has a few...and most repeated early in their academic careers for various reasons (non being lacrosse). Roll over and get off the keyboard, reality isnt always smooth.

the funny thing is I know 4 B teams that have 05 kids on them . I am sure all of them do. So with that said, your point holds no water and you do need a reality check. If your kid was good enough to play A Ball he would be playing . So don’t come on the board and claim 05 kids are talking his spot. There are 06 kids playing on AA teams . They are also taking your sons spot. Your theory Makes no sense .

The reality Is my kid is on a b team.He is an 06 and is one of the better kids on that b team. And you are correct there are some 05's on his team as well about 7. But my point is full of water!! as the A team is full of 05's. And being that he has been with this club a while I am aware of the ages of the boys on the A team. There are 4 06's on the whole team. 2 were taken because of politics one barley made the cut, the last is legit.
so the way I view all these 05's playing with 06's is that it is an epidemic!! And most were not held back for academic reasons or our country is in trouble. This is a youth sport still growing dramatically every day. Clubs will need to get an age based system put in place.

There is no down side to an age based system. Club owners should open their eyes and realize that moving to an age based system will increase the amount of families seeking to participate (and return), and therefore, increase their profits. At present there are too many blowouts and mismatches at tournaments, and too many games where one team is much older (bigger, faster, more aggressive, more skilled, higher IQ) than the other one. One of the main reasons for this is that it is very hard for tournament directors to create matchups when you have no idea how old the kids really are, and its very hard for club directors to recommend (or choose) a divisional placement when they have no idea how old the competition will be. If everyone is born within the same 12 month window, than its much easier to place a team based on its skill level and athleticism, as well as performance at prior tournaments.

POINTLESS post!!! People have been complaining about this for years when their little Johnny isn't big enough. When it comes to this age, guess what - size does matter and you are finally realizing it. So in about 6th grade all the complainers come out about the age gap. No matter WHAT rules you follow you will still have the same complainers. Just let your kid play and shut up! He should play where he fits in. Not just because daddy thinks he should be on an AA team

whatever masshole. I heard the catholic elementary school was signing up 2023s to repeat 7th grade at the tournament so they were eligible for the playoffs today.

Also, lobster pants, how do the parents feel when 5 or 6 of your "new" 2024s show up in the middle of the summer? Wicked good i bet

Express is sounding like a soar loser here. What, can't take the heat? We beat you last year too. You can't handle away tournaments.

I'm not the poster, but I think the argument is not that "little Johnny isn't big enough". The argument is that Johnny Holdback is 18-20 months older. If you don't think that provides a distinct advantage I don't know what to tell you

And your post is not pointless? For starters, I am fine with the team that my kid is on - a decent A team. I have no need for him to be on an AA, or AAA, or top notch team. And you know what, if lacrosse went to age based tomorrow, he still plays at the same level. The only difference, and its significant, is that he will play in more competitive games on balance throughout the summer. For now, many games are blowouts and mismatches, with his team winning more than half of them. Kids playing with and against kids in a narrow (12 months variation is more than fine) age group, and with similar skill and athletism is the best environment for their enjoyment and development. This is how nearly every other youth sport does it. Anyone who argues otherwise is clueless. I can tell you that the best coaches at the highest level of youth hockey uniformly frown upon the idea of "playing up" - both in an individual sense and in a team sense. The way to get better, instead, is to just find better teams your own age.

Also, size is just about the last problem with wide age variations. The advantage older kids have is with speed, quickness, hand-eye coordination, strength (in terms of passing and shooting), aggression, and lacrosse IQ. Size is just about last on the list. Site unseen, and with no inside information, I would in a blind draft pick a team of tiny older kids vs a team of large younger kids every single time.

And you are dead wrong when you say "no matter WHAT rules you follow you will still have the same complainers." Having kids that play competitively in age based youth sports, no one, and I repeat, no one complains about a kid being big, or fast, or just plain better - because they know he is of age. You must be a parent that only has their kids playing lacrosse. Your statement is simply wrong. Its simply a myth that people will still complain about this issue if they move to an age based system - because no one complains about it in the myriad of other sports that base the system on age.

And by the way, please explain to me how posting on a message board stops my kid from playing. "Just let your kid play and shut up!" Hey, thats a real powerful argument. I am sorry you can't rely on logic and reason like a normal person. And to repeat what I said above, since you appear to be a bit slow: I don't think my kid should be on a better team than he is on now. I don't think older kids are holding him back or taking his spots. In an age based system, his "spot" would just be taking by a more skilled, more athletic on-age kid. Moving him up in the youth lax world is not the goal. The goal is simply to make the sport better - to have better games; games that are more evenly competed; games that are not dominated by age outliers.

WOW ... snoozer!! Waste of your time. If and when they change the system . For now why complain it’s the way it is . They will never change it because of Maryland and other states. Thanks for caring so much Mommy!!

what is the excuse gonna be next year when school ball starts. the eighth graders are to big.get use to it. it only gets harder from here on out. mommy and daddy ball is over unless you pay $3000 to play on a B-C team with 30 kids on the roster. good luck with that

?

This is the best place to complain. If enough parents, coaches etc make noise then maybe something will change for the better. Reporting the issue and posting is the least you can do! And for every meat head who says “blah blah blah complainers” - so Be it. The 05 dads are growing in numbers and don’t think for a second that they would be “for” a change. It’s not cheating but is a clear and mathematical advantage.

Shouldn’t you guys be in Denver ?

This is the stupidest comment on this thread, which is actually a monumental achievement. We are not talking about Middle School lacrosse. Nor is anyone making excuses. People are simply advocating for a better system. Just lame strawman agruements. No one has ever claimed that school sports should be age based. So why argue against that position? School sports are all about winning at the varsity level. JV and MS exist as feeder programs to the varsity. That is all. Has nothing to do with youth travel lacrosse. There really needs to be an IQ test before posting on this site.

Is this really why this board exists? To correct each other's grammar (or in your case, to do so incorrectly)? This is when you know someone lacks a cogent rebuttal. When they resort to petty, and incorrect, grammatical critiques.

POINTLESS post!!! People have been complaining about this for years when their little Johnny isn't big enough. When it comes to this age, guess what - size does matter and you are finally realizing it. So in about 6th grade all the complainers come out about the age gap. No matter WHAT rules you follow you will still have the same complainers. Just let your kid play and shut up! He should play where he fits in. Not just because daddy thinks he should be on an AA team

Thanks for the ignorant very defensive post.Just checking, what month in 2005 was your little Rabil born?

Yes you won but you also have 3 05 kids scoring all the goals.
Nice job

the funny thing is , I know 4 b teams that have 05 kids on them.

I do not have a older kid. But there are some older kids on the team. It does not bother me in the least, because nothing has changed, and nothing will change. Get over it, its old. No asterisk, as everyone has a few...and most repeated early in their academic careers for various reasons (non being lacrosse). Roll over and get off the keyboard, reality isnt always smooth.

the funny thing is I know 4 B teams that have 05 kids on them . I am sure all of them do. So with that said, your point holds no water and you do need a reality check. If your kid was good enough to play A Ball he would be playing . So don’t come on the board and claim 05 kids are talking his spot. There are 06 kids playing on AA teams . They are also taking your sons spot. Your theory Makes no sense .

So, basically, it's okay for you to cheat because you know someone else is doing it. I know plenty of teams that don't. I accept that these teams cheat. You have to accept that your team would be different if they didn't. I'm sure they'd still be good, but it wouldn't be what it is if they weren't cheating. It's ok. We all know. But the board is for teams with kids graduating in 2024, not 2023. People are cheating and we get that it won't stop until some form of age/roster verification is put into place with these tournaments because the owners of these franchises are, let's face it, sort of scummy and the venues just don't care beyond getting the entrance fees.

that’s where your stupidity comes in to the conversation. Grade base has 05 and o6 kids on the team . There is plenty of 05 kids that are in 6th grade . If it was age based it would not. So how is it cheating when lacrosse is grade based. If a 7th grader is playing in 2024 that would be cheating and I would understand your comment. I am sure there are plenty of teams that do that. Just do not assume just because a kid is 05 he is not on grade.

I believe you missed the entire point. There should NOT be plenty of kids born in 05 in the 6th grade!!!!

really???? you are some kind of stupid!!!! kids born in sept oct nov dec would be 05's in 6th grade or you would rather those kids to start school at 4 years old so they dont dominate your little jonny.SMH!!!!

you are missing the point , your kid still would be below level. Stop with the excuses. Its 12 year old lacrosse . Get a life. Move on .

Your a genius-
NY State cutoff is Dec 1.
Some school districts are def 15.
The only reason why little Johnny would be held back would be voluntarily.

Your a hammerhead too.

First, NOT all teams have holdbacks. My son is on a top/top team and there are NONE. My problem isn’t with the occasional holdback, as they will always exist. It’s with the teams that seek to exploit that loophole in the rules for their own personal benefit, to the greatest extent possible. That can be termed nothing less than cheating scumbags in my book. Obviously a lot of people agree with that position, as evidenced on BOTC and the rules of the WSYL which is the only tournament that recognizes the injustice done and thereby closed that loophole. You want to cheat, no WSYL for you!! Right Maryland/VA teams?!!! The biggest cheaters of them all!

exactly !! Well put: unfortunately there are many parents that do not know what a true holdback is, and will find any excuse they can for why there child is not on those top teams.

People, don't worry. Next year these held back redshirts are going to play against the same aged kids that weren't forced down a level, the ones who didn't need the leg up, who didn't need the cheat for the system and they are going to get demolished. And then you can enjoy laughing at the neck vein bulging dads screaming about how the refs blew the calls or whatever BS these stains can come up with, while your kids who have been competing against older kids will be more in line with the talent..

Omg. Talk about beating a dead horse. We get it. Please move on from the hold backs. Next subject.

Agree. Top AA always looking to add talent. Don't listen to anyone who tells you different, most of the time they are scorned parents who's kid didn't make the top AA teams across the board and they will blame it on an "inside job". Bottom line if your kid can play with the AA boys he will be welcomed onto the team. If he was skipped over across the board then you might want to be honest about your boys ability at this point. Don't be delusional

Unless he is an 05 or plays on another top team, highly unlikely.

All teams are always looking for players that can make the team better. It's common sense and if you know anything about travel sports, that's what it is all about. Teams have absolutely no loyalty. If you kid is good, he will make top teams and contribute. If he can't, then he won't. Stop with the loser attitude. It is very telling about you. Try not to pass that along to your kids.

🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏

All teams are looking for top talent who meet the age requirements to qualify for WSYL! Can’t wait to see which teams comes up with excuses!!

well... we will soon see. There may be one set of parents that may look to doctor their sons birth certificate next year on a TOP/TOP team. Many adjustments were made to social media accounts to hide truths. If that happens be sure that the team’s parents will be more than happy to make officials aware. Regardless of the ramifications. Enough is enough.

Team 91 Bandits World Champions! Congrats to families, caches and players! Can’t wait until next year... !

Only a completely jerk would call the winner of this youth tournament "World Champions". Also,

1. Did Spallina at least play all the kids this year? Last time, with a 10+ goal lead going in the 4th, he didn't let half the kids on the field. What a swell guy. Really deserving of that award.

2. Why did these parents spend $2K+ to play a game they could have arranged at home at any time?

3. Man, lots of those Express moms are homely.

Jealousy. Get over it. It's really not the end of the world if your son isn't good enough to be on a top team. Not many kids are. I'm sure he doesn't care that much. It is you that care, because of your own inadequacies, from growing up a second rate player. Relax and enjoy your kid before it is too late.

Yes, a year from now it will be very interesting to see which teams have been secretly relying on their stockpile of holdbacks to win youth lacrosse games while one has been winning with 100% on age players, all along. After all of these years, their grandiose, greedy plan for winning at all costs will backfire on them, when it comes time for youth lacrosse's biggest stage. Very significant pieces will be missing from almost every team and many, many teams won''t be able to field a team at all (MD/VA/MA), except for one.

13U World Champion. The best youth lacrosse is on Long Island. Always been that way, prob always will! Certainly looks that way, as Long Island continues to dominate WORLD PLAY.

By the way Madlax Dad, why did Madlax go to a tournament in Denver this summer, with ABSOLUTELY no competition there??? FACT! Some of us LI'ers have gotten pretty chummy with some Mad Lax Dads and they expressed how disgruntled they were about going. Thought going to Denver was too expensive for you DC types. Well, I guess if you can afford to go to an awful tournament there this year, ya'll will have no problem getting there next July for the WSYL. Although, you may find it hard to play a lacrosse game with 6 on age players!! Don't you know, cheaters never prosper! Guess you aren't teaching your kids that one. LOL!

Ummmm. A lot of truth in this post. These particular parents are overboard crazy, but somehow still around that organization.

So th WSYL ended hours ago- it’s the only age based tournament and your worried about cheating? Support the boys and let the clubs work it out.
Tryouts are a few weeks away and Long Island teams will only get better!

It's anonymous - please share which team you are talking about....

Early Predictions for next years WSYL. Igloo will play Express in a semifinal. Express wins. Taz will play WP semifinal and WP will win by 3 goals. Express will beat WP in the finals and finally be the top team of 2024 on LI.

Why do we have to go to Denver for that? Let's just stay in LI.

3. I know, lots of those moms don't keep themselves together...Rough!

How about Eclipse? They have grand aspirations....

Forget NLF championships, most teams skipping for the Rising 8th Grade National Championships next weekend. Express loses their leading scorer and won't be a factor.

WP with NO holdbacks takes it all. 99% of this team has been together since 2nd grade. Tough to beat

is wolfpack looking for any players? where do they practice? where does taz practice

Does anyone know who will be coaching the 2024 Outlaws with Greaney moving to the Rebels? Will they have 2 teams this upcoming season?

Next up for WSYL, year 2024

Coach Rotolo will be 1 of the Outlaw '24 Coaches (2 Teams) and Coach Greaney has not confirmed leaving or taking the RL job so we will inform this thread on his decision once we received confirmation and if you are on our mailing list, you will see it there sometime next week.

According to rebels website coaches are Greaney, Moltisanti and Walsh. Unclear if outlaws will have 2 teams or 1. Guess it depends on tryout numbers.

Looking forward to ending the debate on certain holdbacks with the wsyl. Interesting to see the giant madlax middie and the chosen one both played in the wsyl this year. I guess we’ll know whether they are just that good or just older like everyone says.

Who is the best team of the summer?

Here are the winners of the top Tournaments:

NLF Super Series - Hawks
North American Lax Summer Invitational - Madlax
Crabs Young Guns - Laxachusettes
Millon Championship - T91 MD
Naptown - Duke's
NLF Club - ???

You LI guys crack me up. I think the WSYL is an awesome event and btw, my son is on age. The one question I have for all you LI guys (who by the way I enjoy talking to a lot of you on the sidelines), is what do you tell your boys after this cool experience is over? Meaning, do you explain to them if they want to play at the next level (which would be a blessing for all of us) that they will have to compete with these so called cheaters or holdbacks for these same college spots? It’s not going away. You can throw the fact around that MD/VA teams don’t participate in the WSYL but ultimately the jokes on you down the line when the rubber meets the road. Just seems odd to boast about this knowing what’s coming in the future if all fortunate enough to have our sons play at the next level.

Crab Young Guns tourney is a joke and so is laxachusettes. All of the other tourneys are legit.

Tourney Machine and this post are incorrect. Bbl won naptown.

Anyone know anything about 24 East? Are they the old Team Long Island? How are the coaches, are they parents and is there a lot of daddy ball? Have those boys been together a long time so there is little chance of breaking into the line up?

BBL won Naptown big. 10-2

Now that Taz did not when any championship in the Spring are they turning over the small-sized roster or will the SWR coach they to pull his future players to the other team? Is WP going to keep the same team or pick up a couple of kids this year? What positions does express need to upgrade? Will igloo, rebels. or true blue get kids to compete next year or try to go to other teams? Love it or hate it tryout season is a week away.

i can say with 1000000000000% certainty that the latter(the one from CT) is a 2006 birthday, im sorry to disappoint all of you, but this young man is the hardest working young man out there on and off the field. just a super nice and humble young man

Do your self a favor and remain clear of daddy ball environment. The majority of the time it causes nothing but conflicts. Likewise, be careful of the situation you put your son in. Plenty of other organizations to select from...

Thanks for the impute MD dad. What I would say. LI boys are the best on age players in the country for YOUTH lax. Down the road at the next level when they are able to be recruited and everyone has pretty much matured, the LI boys will again be looked at as the best Lacrosse players in country. But please tell the MD and VA boys they have not been forgotten... they are legally allowed to purchase beers as incoming freshman.

Express is in the best position to improve. They are the only top tier Nassau team. While the WP and Taz draw from the same area. And no Express player will go to WP or Taz, but Express might get TAZ or WP players. And Express proved last year, it's a tryout and spots are not guaranteed.

Hope you’re right since they need A LOT of improvement.

Not a lot. 4 or 5

My son had a mediocre season on his current team. There are so many teams out there our heads are confused where to try out. My son is a B+ player and with the right coaching may be able to hang with some of
The A players. He’s not getting it from his current coach.

What are some decent programs for this age group with minimal drama?

They will add a few 2023s who can't hang anymore with 2004s on their own team. Denver team will be very different but thats only one tourney.

It's a U13 tourney, why wouldn't add the older kids to the roster? I am shocked clubs have not separated the grade team from the WSYL team. And held U13 WSYL open tryouts. Separate coaching, practice, fees... etc.

BBL should be in every conversation about top 2024 teams. Jersey is knocking on the door of Maryland and Long Island at this age group.

An easy schedule is what it is. It was not a tough tourney, especially for them. They have proved nothing based on that tournament. And it’s one tournament. One tourney also means nothing. Chill out NJ boy. Prove it with the big guns.

How is it that YOU know both WP and Taz are losing players? I guess both organizations run all of these decisions through you, even before tryouts! You said the same thing last year. One team had no changes at all and the other had one addition. .

Calm down jersey boy. You won one bad tournament with basically no competition. The only decent team they played, they lost to. Nobody cares, nor should they.

That was actually Brotherly Loves “Academy” Team which is now made up of kids from Rough Riders and Philadelphia Freedom. I guess they were tired of getting beaten up by the big 5 and are following Madlax and Dukes model. Still lost to a team they beat earlier in the year.

Not sure where your getting your fake news from but nobody leaves WP. That is the tightest group of players and parents around. Those kids and parents have been together for years most from 2nd grade. Can’t imagine they would turn down the right players (and parents), especially this year, but no one on that team is going anywhere.

How many holdbacks are on your kids team?? You think there should be separate tryouts and teams for WSYL? Your team must really really stockpile the cheater kids. Congrats, you’re proposal would bring cheating to a whole new unprecedented level! You teach your kid how to cheat on tests too?

Love how you list only the tournaments that your sons team was in. You’re missing a lot, list boy. You put the exact same list on the 23 thread, complete with same winners. Can somebody confirm that laxachustts actually won a tournament in this bracket? I find that extremely hard to believe. If so, that must have been one bad tournament.

The comment about it being 10-12 kids from WP and some friends from StonyBrook is word for word what a HV parent told me on the sideline yesterday when I asked about their tie to WP. I guess it must have been a bunch of impostors wearing WP helmets and gloves. The same parent explained that the team used to have TAZ kids on it but they now do Longboards as their off program team.

Since you're such a great source why dont you shed light on what was a very basic question?

BUT......They won. A 'w" is a "w" no matter how ugly.

Who cares. The whole tournament was a bunch of mixed teams. We played HV and they were tough. I think they have played in 4 tournaments in the last couple of years and they are being talked about? Why? Enough of the complaints I say it the way it is the boys in the Orange helmets are awesome lacrosse players for 12 years old. It doesn't matter who they take the field for, leave it alone already.

Is Igloo A looking for new players? Offense? Defense? Where are they the weakest?

I have already signed my boy up. A the very least, it's a great opportunity for a good workout against some top talent.

Igloo use to do this and it was great. Why did Igloo stop and 91 start?
They should all do this.

I don’t know but it’s a great idea. A 2 hour tryout is a joke. This will give evaluators a very good picture of a kids abilities. And a great opportunity to see what my kid can do alongside some top players. He’s looking forward to it.

Madlax 2024 is the #1 2024 team in the nation for thr 4th straight year.

LOL. I love it.

2024 Windchill HEAD coach doesn't have a kid even playing in the same organization as he coaches

“Daddy ball” sounds like a bunch of wannabes promoting their sons. But when the Madlax founder was an all-American, 91MD founder a hall of famer, Express coaches with Syracuse Nat championship rings, and assume true for other teams where men want to coach their sons, as far as I can see, that’s not a problem. Most of the time, their kids grow up in a pressure cooker, work their tail off and succeed. I guess Matt Danowski was so unfairly propped up by “Daddy ball” that he won the Tewaaraton. Must have rigged the polling, as well as those scoring records. Such an old and stupid argument.

Wolfpack goes out early, kinda surprised

Express ends the season as the Summer Champs. Very impressive win over Madlax.

If not for the refs, Madlax would have won that game by 3 goals.

Wolf "middle of the" pack

How was 91 clinic today?

Team 91’s “evaluation camp” was overrated and under manned. It looked like 500+ kids, I saw only one coach with a clipboard, fortunately it wasn't cracked. Probably only “evaluating” their own top players.

Yup, my son told me they have their own players play against the new kids and since there are so many kids he never really got to touch the ball yesterday. Money wasted.

Yup, my son told me they have their own players play against the new kids and since there are so many kids he never really got to touch the ball yesterday. yes. and Beware.

Of course they evaluate the new by playing them against the old...and they don't have to evaluate their own, except for the bottom few. if you expected differently, you are nuts. If your son can't catch someone's eye in 3 days, then you need to realize that he isn't good enough. But here is one thing I know, tell your boy if he wants the ball, then he should go get it. Play tough D, get a GB by running through it, knock someone off their feet, ride like crazy, draw and dump. Those kids get noticed. Scrappy kids get attention.

The thing I find most surprising about these tryouts is nobody grasps customer service. Why wouldn’t clubs hold a meet the coaches session for parents during the tryouts. Not that hard. For example, at the 20xx age we are having 2 teams and here is the staff for each. Please come ask any questions you want of the coaches and directors about practice, playing time, philosophy, etc, etc. Parents would eat that up and feel comfortable vs an email invite and some bio of guy they never met. Put a face things and sell the product and then walk the talk and it’s that simple. We forget we are the clients as we continue to invest in youth sports.

Why? Because we are lemmings who continue to not ask those questions but instead act like puppy dogs as we hand over the cc and checks....

It’s getting out of control with the prices , why is there no prices out yet ?? Wake up people we are the customers to this monster .

Thank you for staying the very obvious. Obvious to everyone except for the dad making up excuses for his kid. There are tons of kids out there that aren’t WP players that are getting the ball and making a statement. If your son isn’t doing that and is just making up excuses, you may as well take a pass on the third day. But stop with the excuses. Makes you and your kid look like losers.

I agree. But it usually doesn’t work that way. These people are x-jocks, teachers and coaches for the most part. They aren’t business men. They don’t get customer service. Fortunately for them, the demand is so strong, the lack of customer service doesn’t really hurt them. Referring to the industry as a whole, not just 91. Actually, 91’s customer service is the best that I am aware of, but nothing like what you refer to. Doesn’t exist in this business. Yet, anyway.

Cha-ching

165.00 for three days/5 hours of top lacrosse, including lunch, shorts and pinnie. Do the math, that’s a phenomenal value, dummy.

Sounds like you are trying to say, your kid couldn’t cut it with the top players.

not Fake news at all. You keep believing that . Just have a back up.

After the tryouts, for the average working man/women the craziness begins! Grab that fresh credit card, pull cash advances, pull money out of your homes, etc. Just remember the old saying "A fool and his money are easily parted." Keep up the chase!

WARRIOR games this weekend. Who's playing in it?

Can someone tell me how express is 5k? Including travel etc. Older son is on a hs team there and i think its 2800 for fall and summer and few hundred for wintwr if you can make

No idea who showed up to Rebels but IMO it is near impossible to start a new A team from scratch, especially for the 2024's that are not overloaded with talent like some of the other grades. Unless they have a core of talented players that are committed to the team (and how could they?), they will be getting everybody else's scraps. What talented player is going to jump ship for the unknown? It will be impossible for this team to run with the big boys this year.

I was there and there was a lot of kids. Around 45 kids. Who came. Lots of different helmets, but defenitely saw legacy, 91, and ducks helmets.
Plenty of talented kids showed and this was not actual tryouts. It was just supplemental camp yesterday. I bet they will get more for tryouts in August.
And the coaching was amazing. Lots of interaction. Plenty of manpower. Organization is defenitely investing in their teams.

TAZ losing a lot of kids. They didn’t get rid of you know who fast enough. And TAZ isn’t the only legacy team losing players fast.

1. Not true 2. Where are all these kids going ? 91 ? That is going to be a big mess. 5 coaches 4 have sons on the team. Good luck with that . That is a disaster waiting to happen . Who all the playing time going to
Go to? It’s comical.

The third day of the 91 camp they took the top 26 players which included the Express and Legacy kids and scrimmaged. It was a lot of fun to watch. . If the coaches can figure out playing time and keep everyone happy they will be the team to beat this upcoming year. By the way my kid was not one of those 26 just wanted to comment.

They are going to 91 along with the Express kid! Believe it!

that was the result of the former coaches. Thats a very stupid. 91 much worse very political there. Already they are being pushed around buy the parents who are taking over . They are trying to get as many kids as possible promising the world. Nothing will change there . Once you pay you are done .

Again, nothing to say about how poorly the team was managed for the past few years? As far as “former coaches” every year for the past four years there were new coaches. Do you know what stayed constant? The ownership. So I ask you... do YOU think it is wise to stay in an organization this poorly run? You know the definition of insanity?... doing things over, and over, and over again and expecting a different response.

The best goalies were at the 91 camp. Returning WP starter and the TAZ starter both at 91.

Wait, are you telling you you think TZ didn’t know? You are out of your mind. Not only did he know , he encouraged it. He allowed it, he watched it happen and participated in it. He knew that this guy was destroying his business at three age levels. This organization will never be the same and will not thrive. People told him long ago that this guy was poison but he didn’t care. More important to lose top kids from the only winning teams you have in your organization.

Sounds like a Taz player or parent who is very nervous

Who were the east coast add ons. They added 2 LI kids last year I thought. We didn’t see any out of state ringers?

91 Flash?? New 3rd team? I assume they are bringing a full team over from somewhere

Why do you say 3 age levels?

Amazing that nobody would give a shot to SWR coach that coaches for Legacy at 2024.

Huge money grab. Wolfpack was already floundering this year. They dont care about these 2nd and 3rd teams. They only care about the extra income. People are crazy to sign up for a 3rd team with 91.

You think 2024 suffered with daddy war bucks? He spent a total of three months with 2025A because he is “one of the best coaches in the country with the top righty attackman in the country at 2025” just ask him, he’ll tell you. The five top players left, and more than that did the right thing by their teammates and stuck out the season but have left.

Total money grab.
And checkout the 91 tuition

91 tuition is $3800 for 2024 Wolfpack
PLUS a 3.5% processing fee (are you joking, can you say money grab)
So its actually $3933-

91 tuition is $2995 for 2024 Orange and Flash teams
PLUS a 3.5% processing fee (money grab)
So its actually $3100-

What are you referring to?

Based on the amount of kids at tryouts I would believe they will get 3 teams.

I agree with you, but they are fools if they sign onto the 2nd and 3rd teams. Those are just money grabs. 91 only cares about their top team.

I disagree with the statement they are fools if they sign onto 2nd and 3rd teams. Whats important here ? If the kid really wants to play and the parents are willing to pay then do it.
If a lacrosse program is willing to form a 2nd and / or 3rd team so more kids get the opportunity to play--- I think that's good.
Yea many will say it's a money grab-- OK but more kids are given the chance to play also. Just a B player parents view.

Team 91 rosters starting to come out.

So far they have release 2nd grade 2029 Pride team
35 players listed...... what?????
They should rename that Romper Room

Also released 3rd grade 2028 Orange team
24 players listed .... still too many
And 3rd grade 2028 White team
28 players... riduculous.Money Grab. They dont care at all about this team.

Just tells you to expect overloaded rosters for older grades as well.
Can you say money grab?

Put 50 guys on a team. Still can't beat Madlax.

Not true. If you saw the Florida dad wearing his Cuse lax tee You would know by his screaming and yelling that his kid could single handily beat Madlax.

91 tuition is $3800 for 2024 Wolfpack
PLUS a 3.5% processing fee (are you joking, can you say money grab)
So its actually $3933-

91 tuition is $2995 for 2024 Orange and Flash teams
PLUS a 3.5% processing fee (money grab)
So its actually $3100-

91 removed the prices within the registration tab. Cat's out the bag already. Now they are calling us stupid.

Not this guy my friend I will not justify spending that on youth lacrosse , I will bring my son to somewhere different . Difference in prices use that money for more important things in life . Rather keep up with education get a tutor once a week.

Not true. If you saw the Florida dad wearing his Cuse lax tee You would know by his screaming and yelling that his kid could single handily beat Madlax.

It was nice of the LI East moms to cut the sleeves off the champion T's to match their dads shirts

Money grab. 120 kids at tryouts equals enough for 3 teams.

If you need a tutor to keep up with the public schools in Suffolk then you should be saving that money for union dues.

The 2029 team has great great coaches and will split into 2 for tournaments. They did the same w 4 teams last year (2 teams of 30 split into 4 for 2nd grade). All you “money grab” posters if 3,000 is soooo much different to you then the 2500-2700 every other team charges then you shouldn’t be spending money on club lax. It’s all the same- go out to dinner 1 less time per 6 months and it’s a wash

That’s funny

You see. Your a perfect example of the nasty parent personality on 91 that will deter anyone from wanting to sign up when the rosters come out. Who wants their kid on a team with a parent like you.
Someone can have an opinion, and you dont have to feel threatened by it so much that you insult them. Grow up.

You are under a musconception as to what other teams are charging for their 2nd grade 2029 teams. Your looking at more like $1250- 2k. There is a huge difference here.
And if they are going to split into 2 teams, then they should fo that immediately so people know who is the head coach and assistant coach for the team
Right now they have 3 names to that team. Thats not enough staff to split 35 kids into 2 teams.
Sorry, but everything shows this is a money grab like indicated.

Actually it’s a similar model to,laxachussets. All players practice together them get broken up into teams for the weekend. Money grab? Cmon these are businesses. You have multiple choices of what to do md where to go so everyone stop complaining about the price. It’s a question of where you see value for the dollar.

Make no mistake its always about money. Just make sure you spend it wisely , With the right training. At the end of the day its a business. Just don't believe everything you hear!!

Spoken like a true rich, ignorant lacrosse person that has no clue. Sad that this is our future.
