Sounds like they’re not very good.

Express was scheduled to play Igloo Today. Good measuring stick i would assume.

You mean at the Long Ireland Lacrosse tournament at St Paul's in Garden City. How did they do?

Yes i believe so. No updates on Tourney Machine. Looked like a mix of clubs and Towns.

Smithtown beat igloo rvc and express

What happened in CT today? Lots of good teams

Really, you should beat RVC probably have 3x the enrollment.
Express team you played was the B team and igloo is igloo which I’ll give you as a ok win.

Enjoy your parade!

the mask police were out in full force yesterday in CT. From what i hear, the game of the day was Express North vs 91

The Smithtown program only weakens as the kids get older, same as Hills and Sachem. Two high schools, one youth program. Team is really only about half as good as they think they are. Oh, and I'd say Smithtown enrollment is like 6x RVC.

Whatever gets you through the day. It’s tough when a town team beats your $3000 a year club team isn’t it ?

Not an igloo or express parent.

However, I’ve seen the smithtown group and I do think they”re very good. But it’s a numbers game you have the biggest pool to choose from so naturally you will have one of the best PAL teams around. But when they end up in HS you automatically become half as good. Why do you always lose to WM? The answer is......well as you know they’re able to stay as one school.

If you need more info think back to the 90’s before sachem split up, they battled with WM but now the school district is cut in half and WM dominates them.

I hope you enjoy your next two PAL seasons because once they hit middle school it’s welcome to the middle of the pack.

Let’s not forget the smithtown kids pay that same club tuition and much more for their town experience. But that’s ok. They are a great team

Igloo parent here - Smithtown parents totally live up to their reputation. Argue every call, talk smack to opposing parents, vulgar moms. Just a low class bad look all around.

Starts at the top. Directors, coaches, parents, all are culprits. Describing them as low class is being modest.

Smithtown parent here, that is not accurate to say that we argued or smack talked at all. False facts for sure, in fact we play with one of your kids on the Turtles.

It’s just sad that you can’t appreciate a great team of kids who can stand their own with club teams. No one from Smithown got on here and said anything bad about Igloo or any of the other teams.

It’s sad that you want to pick apart little boys playing a sport they love and lie about parents. It appears to me that Igloo parents are the ones that need to check their reputation.

Igloo is a joke. Go back to your town team because Igloo has got nothing to do...

enough with the smithown/igloo drama, what happened with the express north vs 91 game?

I cant disagree with you. I graduated from sachem when it was 1 HS . They were a powerhouse and in almost every sport . The wrestling program in the 90’s was the best on the island . Football good and think a couple of Lacrosse state titles . No longer in the district but follow there Lacrosse but both east and north make the playoff’s yr after yr with a .500 or better record but yes the WM , west islip are better . But thing with Sachem kids they are always gritty group .

Smithtown always has top players come out of their program every year. And both West and East are still both great teams.

?? Crickets

In CT, Express North beat PT, 12-6, Sweetlax (Rochester) beat PT 14-4, Express North beat Lax Black 8-2, and Sweetlax 5-3, lost to 91 Venom 7-6, 91 Venom went undefeated.

You seem to know so tell us... what did happen with 91 venom and express north???

91 fought back and won in the final minute

What 2028 teams are playing today in Garden City?

i know tomorrow legacy plays the rebels

if i had to guess, i would say the Northmen vs Rush would be the two top teams playing each other today

wow a took a genius to figure that one out... who else was even playing?

"wow a took a genius to figure that one out." - I'll give you another chance to correct yourself and your grammar. Look on tourney machine tough guy

Igloo A&B
Recon
Rush A
E3
Express
S2S
GC

Blatant Summer showdown should be a good test for teams, it seems most of the competitive teams on LI are signed up

Which teams are signed up?

When and where is it

its on tourney machine

How was the tournament today in garden city

Surprising
Express tied Rebels
Rush tied Legacy

Not surprising
Legacy beat rebels
Rebels and Rush beat Igloo

Rebels not the same team from Fall 2019. This team was not very good.

No faceoffs also changes game quite a bit

Where is Rush based out of?

Suffolk County, Town of Islip area

Not to start trouble. But all the talk about the turtles. They never seem to be at any tournaments against the top Long Island teams. Am I missing something? Do they play games or just train?

You would think they would be at Tuesday’s tournament

I must have missed “all the talk about turtles” unless of course it was negative

Originally Posted by Anonymous

Toughest division is colgate... Legacy, Northmen, RUSH, GC. Weakest is Cornell (RUSH B, 3 village, icon, recon, polar bears)... Canisius (Express, FLG, Rebels and Venom) will be competitive.

i think they should have put legacy,northmen, rebels, and 91 in one bracket

Lax Unlimited owner has done nothing with this team. Smithtown daddy coaches, friends.

Considering that Rush beat Northmen on Thursday and Friday, I’d say Rush should be in there over the Northmen

good point

Should be Northmen, Rush, Venom, and 91... Rebels tied Express last week - Rebels, FLG, Express, and GC are next group.

Rebels are out, a mish mash team will be filling in for them. Not sure what to expect, all the good teams are pretty much at the tournament, may be a long day for them, but at least the brackets are full.

Why did the rebels pull out of their own tournament?

Only the 2028 rebel parents? Not the other grades or other clubs?

Lies

There has been no Turtle Talk. They have no Dads coaching and maybe the Rebels had a conflict. Why do you people have to bash everyone? They are 10 year olds playing a kids sport for gods sake. All the rankings, lists and bashing is pathetic.

For some of these teams this is their 4th or 5th tournament in 2 weeks, some have been out of state, all in over 95 degree heat. How much is enough? Are you really doing it for the kids? Or, are you doing it because your Coach and Director told you to, just so they can fulfill their 4 tourney commitment and not pay any refunds.

These aren't tournaments. They are play dates. The refs are awful with no concept of any rule modifications - the rules change depending upon what half of the field you're on. There's no interaction betw. games, no vendors, just run back to your car's A/C. Late August is for Beach Days and Pool Parties - not padding pockets of Travel Lacrosse Directors.

Because the parents allow it. Don't you love it when you hear the parents say, "my kid wants to go," shut up already. What a bunch of lies.

this could not have been said better... i was not asking for money back. This stupidity of playing 10 tourneys in 3 weeks is wearing the kids out. And driving to CT and NJ.... who thought that was smart?

Turtles are at LI lax fest this weekend
Tri star was cancelled for next weekend

If your kid doesn’t want to play maybe time to quit travel lacrosse. Kids want to play!

While all the above theories may be true, the scuttle butt at the field was that a player on the Rebels tested positive for Covid. If true, then prudent move and hope his family and teammates get tested too and are OK. Its hot today.

Let’s get real here Rebels didn’t want to play venom

Prudent move? Don't think so, how many people were placed at risk because of the foolish decision these parents made? They got what they deserved!

what was the summary on Blatant today?

For the most part good competition for the teams. Igloo’s defense was drastically better today

Summary-Lax w minimal contact and no faceoffs is very different, some might say awful. Lots of good teams in this age. Venom the best but a bunch not far behind.

ok mom or Dad was your son switched to defense? so obvious

Precious venom lost today.

Venom lost to express

That’s your summary? Tryouts next Tuesday

You would have imagined with all the chatter about Venom beating 27’s and destroying everyone in CT (except Exp N), that they would have won each game very comfortably today (10+ goal wins), losing to express is embarrassing, every team has bad games, but that’s not a strong team for the “top dogs” to lose to

Truth. Clubs will go back to what they were doing before Covid. Us parents could of changed how they operate. But did the opposite traveled to state to state on weekdays with a couple days notice , fighting metro area traffic . Also adding to your tuition with Gas , tolls , breakfast, lunch and dinner . $$$ for what because the clubs strong armed you ?

rough day for FLG

Venom was the best 28 team there today, they had a let down. That being said, one of their goalies is far better than the other and they split time. Also, they have one outstanding attackman with an offense that is organized and positions him to excel. If an opponent is able to game plan for that it is a much more even playing field as express (not heretofore in the LI elite team conversation) was able to exploit/overcome; though I acknowledge no faceoffs probably worked against one of Venom's strengths. They have some great players but there are a few good LI teams that on any given day. Joey's dad is painful...

For the parents above that are bitter about traveling for travel lacrosse... please go away, stop paying for your kid to play if you’re going to whine about it.
Bad day for rush, good day for igloo. Looks like clubs are closer than we thought at this point. Fall should be interesting if top clubs are willing to play each other and not avoid competition.

Were the igloo northmen team and the express orielly team the same teams that smithtown beat a few weeks ago in the long Ireland tournament?

Yes

For you talking about a 10 year old rush team having a bad day , please go away . Teach little johnny to tie his cleats without coming loose .

Rush in 2nd tier of LI teams. Movin on up!

Is tomorrow the turtles first tournament??

Daddy, 5th grade lacrosse. You are the pinnacle of a lost!

if you actually met the guy or listened to him, he's a great guy and always compliments both teams that are playing. the guy is the best

Yeah, he was just spewing compliments Express's way when his team was down and lost. Save it. Easy to cheer for the other teams goalie when you are up by 10 goals. Not so much when you are losing. Yours...

Why would he be there? Venom isn’t playing that tournament

heard havoc will have 91 kids

Havoc is 91

I agree about the goalie and the #7 attackman is on point

"Why would he be there? Venom isn’t playing that tournament"

Was referring to a tournament this past Tuesday @ St. Paul's. Venom was there and lost to Express and Joey's Dad was not all happy and nice. As I said, its easy to appear gracious and complimentary when your team is winning by 10...true colors come out during times of adversity. Will leave it at that.

Please let us know your son’’s name or number so we can all watch you and learn how to be the perfect sideline parent.

most parents were afraid to commit to FLG knowing the pending litigation issues. Plus, they were so jerky to parents in the past years, now they actually have to go out and earn the business. Not that easy to do, especially in a saturated market. After watching them all season, and hearing loud coach of their's... i'd be pretty cautious bringing my kid there. Really no primetime players, parents don't stop blabbing on sideline, and many of their tournaments are off the island. Should i continue?

You watched them all season? Did you just admit that you have no life and followed FLG around and took notes on them?

How was the Rebels/Turtles game?

Would you rather we discuss recipes

Turtles 3-2

Close game. Turtles Goalie made some key stops when he had to - probably the difference maker.

Should we be surprised???

Lie not true

If you don’t care, why are you writing about it??

I have to be honest. Turtles moms are the absolute worst. I was under the impression that it was rebels. But now I see. They are just god awful!

Says a rebels parent. Lmao

Said the rebels mom

No dog in this fight, we were waiting for another game, I don’t understand how people can scream like that at these young players. After their first goal, the Turtles acted like they won the Super Bowl. Really poor sportsmanship. It was a 3-2 game and that group of parents set a real bad example - no class.

Don’t know who is worse the people that come here hoping people take the bait or the people who take the bait

There is no bait. Turtles/Rebels are a bad lot or they become a bad lot when together. I'm sure there may be some nice folks on either team, but collectively their rep is well earned. No class-led by the Mom's.

I’ve been in travel for a while I find all parents get crazy at times . It’s probably enhanced when parents don’t like each other.

these parents have to remember that these kids are 9 and 10 years young. set a good example and keep your mouths shut

Fashion advice. Though tan fat looks better than pale fat, neither is particularly appealing when crammed into outfits that are too tight. Rebels/Turtles Moms, bite the bullet, bury your ego and buy the next size up or cover up. Too tight and with lots of junk hanging out. You are not 19 anymore trolling Sprats or the Bordie Barn. You are a Mom and a role model, act like one. At least look like one if you can't act like one. No homecoming queens in that lot...

Yea, Okay guy....... Your gut blowing out over your belt, the tight 2x Under Armour golf shirt that really should be a 3x, blown out New Balances, Nasal and Ear hair that you can use to repel with and breath that can knock a buzzard of a $h1t wagon............

i'm curious how many kids went to the 91 evaluation camp and legacy tryouts

My son plays for the rebels but we're checking it out. Went to legacy last night too.

Plenty of talent, but almost no chance of making that squad. Realistically, after all the Coaches kids are counted, how many spots could there be?

Seems like even the parents that aren't official coaches act like sideline coaches.

You need to place your son where they will get meaningful playing time and improve. Of all of these teams, the best option is Mooselax because they carry the least amount. Check out Legacy/91/Turtles/Rebels sidelines, packed with kids who watch the others take all their time. By 5th Grade, if your son isn't getting significant minutes, it's time to move on.

91 and 2 Way top dogs

Legacy and Rebels next two

Express and Igloo not to far behind

Mooselax 2028 group is good, do they have the foundation to continue as a true AA club

Turtles are all over at different camps/tryouts be careful with that $ grab

Why you keep saying 91 is top dog they lost to express this year and lost last year to Rebels and Legacy. They are not top dogs no one is top dog at this age. You 91 parents need to get a grip on reality.

us parents spend a lot of money on this sport and I can’t tell you how important the coaching and practices are. Hopefully everyone finds a team that shows commitment.

You seem to know an awful lot about 91’s record. Do you follow them or just like 4th grade lacrosse?

Aren't you the coach of Venom

91 venom did not lose to Rebels last year. They lost to the original Rebels 2 years ago. 91 also improved last year so I would have to agree they are Top dog on LI. They need to play against teams like Legacy and Rebels this year to continue to be top dog though.

Rebels team is not as good as they were 2 years ago because most of that team went to the turtles from what I recall

I think that’s fair to say

Moose was quarantined the entire season in terms of competing outside their bubble, though a collection of their core players played in one tournament and did well. They have trained from late spring through the summer just did not compete with outside programs. Very happy with the coaching and the reps. There are some elite players on the team. No doubt they are one of the top teams on LI, but understand someone not including them in the conversation because they have been absent from the scene. Hope to take on all comers in the fall. Stay healthy and hope no 2nd wave. Stay positive. Lets make this 28 thread more pleasant than many other-though rebel/turtle moms and joey's dad will continue to get their well earned air time!

Moose parent asks if we can keep thread pleasant then Laxx the bed with last comment

This comment above was not made by a Moose parent because they don't have their facts straight. All spring Moose practices were canceled. During March April and May, the program focused on wall ball training utilizing the app SNYPR. During this time the coaches also made training videos and held zoom meetings to keep the teams active. On 6/1 a program wide decision was made implementing a credit/refund policy because they realized they would not be able to give the boys in their program the Summer experience they deserved (or paid for.). The first time Moose stepped on the field was 7/6 (when NON contact lacrosse was permitted) and the 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 teams played Speedlax for the month of July. In august they began training with helmets and gloves with shooting and skill clinics twice a week and goalie training. They then started a second session of Speedlax for their 2030 "intro to travel" team, and their Academy Training (non travel ready) players. September 1, 2,3 they will be starting up their fall ball program with a 3 day Mooselax mini camp, and then take a short break for the return to school. As for comments about other programs, and rival team parents, unfortunately that is the nature of open forums that allow Anonymous messaging. There are many great Coaches out there, at all the different programs, and finding one for your son to play for is the single most important decision a parent can make when deciding what program is the best fit for their child. Let's all hope there is no second wave of Covid... Not because of the impact it has on the lacrosse our kids will play... so that we can all return to normal lives. Stay safe!

i always wondered what life is like in Utopia... i've found it and it's in Suffolk county. It's at Mooselax. If this wasn't the single biggest piece of BS marketing, than what is

Here is a person talking about being a better person, meanwhile you are attacking everyone including and most of all moms, sisters and grandmothers. Maybe you should display some class.

You obviously have no idea what your talking about. The turtles just beat the Rebels and igloo A and express A just got killed by the 28’ Smithtown town team. You may not like the turtles parents but give the players and the coaches the credit they deserve. There were 14 new kids that asked to tryout for the turtles ‘28

Who cares

You do that’s why you keep checking in

Stop with the “28 Smithtown is a town team” talk. Those people pay more than most travel clubs and represent the worst of both the Rebels and Turtles - complete trash. They will burn those kids out of the sport by middle school.

They pay maybe 750. Besides what does that have to do with their talent. Shouldn’t this whole thread be about the talent on the field and not about the parents. If you want to critique players and coaches fine. I bet all these threads would be a lot more interesting if everybody stopped commenting about parents, especially because your hiding behind “anonymous “

Love the Smithtown crew. Make Smithtown Great Again.

Perhaps a club team in the Portland or Seattle area would be a good spot for you based on your idiotic comment.

Anybody know which fall tournaments their teams will be doing?

Hopefully tournaments get going early fall so we can get them in ASAP

I’ve always wondered why people detest Smithtown so much? There really is truth to this. Is it because of the average cost of homes? Is it the average income per house hold?? Is it the demographics??? To just say it’s because of the parents yelling on the sideline is just not a fair answer? I’ve seen too much in all sports on the island over the years and I’ve seen groups that are far worse then what I’ve seen from Smithtown as a whole. Maybe some of you haters can chime in, and try to do it intelligently, without attacking moms, sisters, or grandmas. Let’s try to leave peoples appearances out of it because honestly that has nothing to do with the question.

Jealousy is my guess

Do people detest all smithtown or just the 2028’s

Lol I rest my case....

Everybody hates the Yankees

Not sure about the Smithtown question. It can't be out of jealousy-its a middle class town-there are far nicer zip codes all around, no elite golf clubs or nice beaches; it can't be about winning-when was the last county-championship either Smithtown won in Football/Basketball/Lacrosse (decades, except for one lone lax championship years ago). Maybe it is due to the experience having interacted with the residents of the town. Not sure. I really don't see jealousy as a reason to disparage Smithtown. Hey, its a great town if you are looking for a car dealership, strip mall, large mall or a moderate cooking cutter development. T

Lol sound like someone is a little jelly!!

Do people not understand that it is just a numbers game? When the Smithton kids get to high school they will be split and their teams "Half" as good--not quite but close. Of course they are better than teams puling from player pools 50-75% their size or smaller in some cases. Also there are plenty of other town teams who could do well playing vs the clubs--these town teams play together all year round. As the kids get older the club teams tend to get much much better.
That being said good for Smithtown 2028's--they are a great team. Lots of strong players and have never heard opposing kids complain about the way their kids play. The complaints are always about the coach and parents.

SNORE....BORING

Every other dad tries to start a club team for their eldest every year and the island is awash in club teams that have core bases of certain towns. Talent is diluted. As the kids get older the talent rises and comes together and there are fewer clubs teams and but a handful of towns that can compete. By 7th grade virtually no town team can compete with the top 5 remaining A level club teams. Been down this road twice before and this is the way it is and I imagine will continue to be. Enjoy your run Smithtown guys. When the team starts to lose more games around junior high the coaches will get blamed (wrongly, competition has changed) and the team will disintegrate as the top players will gravitate to the established elite teams. And your town will have multiplied politics as East vs. West bias/favoritism takes over. Good luck. Same with Hills.

The way you sound like your opinion means anything . Its a dead end sport with no future in it . Who cares about elite teams . Scholarships are very rare . Let 2028s enjoy.

Smithtown is filled with awful kids and even worse families... kids from East/West lax class every year attend schools like Yale, UPenn, Penn State, Maryland, Cornell, Hopkins...what a dead end.

Are any club teams still accepting a level players? My son is a really good b level player but I would like him to practice with kids that are better than himself.

Yeah sounds terrible lol. Smithtown pumps out quality players. Period. Deal with it.

The coach and parents have something to do with the way the kids at. Don’t you think?

Smithtown has more players drafted to the MLL in the last 15 years then maybe any other public school program. Look at the numbers it’s crazy. And I’m sure their parents were all crazy too?!

You could not be more wrong in your statements about Smithtown Lacrosse success...
2003 Class A champions
2006 School split
2008 West County Final
2011 West County Final
2013 West County Final

2014 East Class A Champions
2015 East Class A Champions
2017 East County Final

I count 3 Suffolk County Championships, 4 More appearances in County Finals which is traditionally the top public league in USA over last two decades. Other than Wm and WI has there been a more successful program in the best league over the last 2 decades plus? And I should say Programs as this district is split in half!

SNORE, who really cares. I think I remember hearing that the Smithtown PAL coach hand picks who and where they play their games. Let’s please move on. How much are these top clubs charging this year?

My statement about former players being drafted is not false at all. Take a look at the numbers. I am very aware of WM and WI success. I lived it. You can not argue about the individual success Smithtown players have had. The youth program feeds the varsity programs with bonafide talent every year. What their varsity coaches due with it is a different story. As I said look at the success of Smithtown alumni at the D1 level it is amazing how they don’t have more championships, in the case of west even one?? But back to the 2028’s. Very very talented.

I put my house on the market this afternoon. After reading this, i am moving to Smithtown.

Obviously you care.

You make no sense, name a PAL team that is better and name a team that the coach is trying to avoid by hand picking games. I think you are pulling shiot out of your arsh.

You start first, how much is your kids club charging?

I couldn't be more wrong? Thanks for the data. West 0 championships in the last 16 years. East 2 in that same period. Football? Basketball? Baseball? Wrestling? I rest my case. As for lax being a dead end; you are completely right if your goal is for a scholarship-you'll spend more trying to get it than it will be worth. However, if your kid is a good lacrosse player, his college application will be in a different pile than the non-athlete and the pool of schools he can potentially get into will be much better than a non recruited athlete.

West Islip has consistently done more with less over the last two decades. Never mind WM. They dominate. You are consistently 3rd in your own league. Not what legends are made of What is your record vs Garden City and Cold Spring Harbor when you step out of your mighty Suffolk league 1 bubble? Hah, thought so...

West us beaten garden city 2 of the last three years and cold spring harbor plays in the C division they can battle it out with bayport/blue point and SWR. Again your missing the point. Hopefully you were a lacrosse player because you would have been cut from the debate team.

Give me over the last 16 years like your other facts of Garden City vs. Smithtown. Something tells me there is a reason you only went back three years. I have no idea how many times Smithtown and CSH (sure small c school that regularly beats the best teams in A) have played but I clearly remember them beating West recently and being surprised myself. SWR is the team to beat in small school Suffolk and has been for the last two decades, sure Mt.Sinai, islip and BBP have had their outlier years, but SWR would've been the best team in all of Suffolk (again) this year.

Take it to the HS thread.

Any big moves this year, it did most 28 A teams stay the same?

Tournaments are starting off in jersey for September are any scheduled for the island yet?

Express got some great new players from Igloo plus some others.

that's so exciting to hear

Any updates on clubs after all the tryouts? Any major improvements?

Blatant Running Fall Jam, Invite only I heard

Express +, Igloo -, 91 same, legacy -, rush+, Moose same, Turtles same, Rebels -

91 b shouldn’t be on that list, and no way you omit Legacy. Hopefully they get to play on Long Island this fall, the tri star tournament has already been moved to Jersey

It will all play out. Chill out. And hey, don't disparage people for their opinions-that is what the site is for. There are very few facts other than game scores, so we'll see. And it really doesn't matter-teams will change, kids will grow or not grow, lose interest b/c of their crazy Dad's or Mom's and pick other sports. "The Best" is splitting hairs anyway. We all generally know there are a few teams slightly better than others, likely due to one player, and some that are B teams. Enjoy it. We all may be on the same sideline one day. Root for any LI team to beat any out of state comp. Peace.

Rebels win the all-hype award. From their annoying parents, to their 3x a day email blasts, to the red helmets... it goes on and on

Where did the studs come from? Ever play travel before? Lol

They needed help they were a one trick pony

please stop with the rebels, let me know when the beat the turtles

Rebels J.O's. Congratulations. Why not let your team do the talking for a change? This is why everyone at the age, no matter what team they play for, look at your team and your organization as a low class entity. I haven't read any insecure parent on here touting Igloo, Express, Moose, 91 etc., Take notes.

Hopefully as part of your issued equipment this year muzzles and hooves came for the Rebels Mom's.

Said the parent paying 4 Grand for their Kid to be on the 91 "B" squad... We cant all get that nice orange and blue gear to wear around the neighborhood..

that 91 Surge team is going to be alright. happy that team is heading in the right direction.

What is Surge? Havoc fell apart

Havoc changed their name to surge. New coaches, new team

More team swag! Mo money, mo money!

No 91 team this age is 4K. And even if they were so what? Don’t pay it if you don’t want to. Club lax is expensive. If you dont have disposable income (google it) you shouldn’t be involved or on here complaining about cost

when are these tournaments starting up?

Who is in September shoot out

How was legacy and the turtles play date?

Interested to see if express keeps rolling in this upcoming tournament

rolling? didn't they lose to Smithtown? and Igloo? and others...

Prediction: express goes 1-2 this weekend

When did Express roll ever??

Stop, it’s 2way, legacy, and 91 at the top. Then turtles, rebels, mooselax, rush, igloo, then express

From what I recall they beat 91 Venom, beat or tied the rebels and lost every other game vs A teams

Anyone at the venom game knows it was a joke. But ok they “rolled”. They lost to 1/2 a moose team same day

2way is ct
Why are you talking about them

Agreed

so Express is one of the top teams?

Columbus Day looks like it could be a good test for you, Legacy, Mooselax and BBL Black so far

We’ll see how they do vs Legacy

looking forward to another good game between legacy and moose on columbus day

What is this weekend? Who is in?

The schedule is on tourney machine in New Jersey

NAL in DE Nov 14th Legacy does every year. Any other Long Island teams going?

It will be a great opportunity for Express to show they made some real upgrades as mentioned earlier in this forum. "great players for igloo" "express team turned heads this summer"

Legacy is a quality team and everyone knows that, so I guess we will have to wait until Saturday to find out.

91 venom is going to that DE tournament hope they meet up with legacy

Legacy is the most overrated team in the age group.

All of these teams are overrated. Any given day anyone can be beat.

So it was the express B team that beat 91 venom over the summer and express A team that just tied legacy. Which express team tied rebels?

When my sons team played Express this summer I’m hoping for the parents sake that it was both teams, as they had nearly 40 kids on their sideline. So chances are all the games in questions were whoever was available for express

Yes Express B. They are going to WYSL a few yrs early also

Not sure why 91 Surge is playing in the Columbus day tournament. I guess they'll be the sacrificial lamb.

There are 5-6 top LI teams at the 28 age. They have all beaten or lost to another team in this same group. There is no Top team. 91, Igloo, legacy, moose, Express, rush. Each of these teams has beaten or lost to another one of these teams in the grouping. Even 2way, if they are LI and Turtles/Rebels have an argument for inclusion based on the transitive property.

I am happy with the coaching and the positive energy we have on Surge. We have maybe 2-3 kids that would make a true A team, but beyond that its a group of kids that like lacrosse and want to get better and that is provided. Lost by 10 goals to Moose last week, but we were playing and getting better. All good hear now. No 91 poison and not delusional as to what we are. Enjoy your rankings...

a true feel good story... now, back to the regularly scheduled programming

How do you know who is in the tournament already? Won’t come up on Tourny Machine yet. Is there another site or app?

Look at websites of host operator etc

Columbus day tournament looks good. Legacy,mooselax,turtles,rebels,bbl,and surge.

Who is doing blatant fall jam oct 17

91 has to get the Surge out of there and put in the venom

Surge is about to make some headlines...

"Surge is about to make some headlines..."

Please stop... Let your play in tournaments be your headlines. There are headlines most eveyday in the papers and none of them matter. Good coaching to develop players is all that matters IF you have even have the athletes to begin with. Picking up another teams cast offs is not a headline. In case I've interpreted incorrectly, I hope the Surge headlines are not related to any illegal, non-lacrosse related headlines because that does not belong here and I cannot imagine there could be any lax related headline remotely material.

That’s great but isn’t this a lacrosse site and a 2028 thread? Pretty sure that the intended topics aren’t pressing global matters. Step off your high horse you come here too

High horse? A Pre-announcment for "headlines" regarding a transitional lower tier team? Spare us the fluffing of the pre-headline at least. Winning a game if you want to post that is a headline. go for it. Be proud. Good luck. I hope whatever it is helps your team and keeps everyone involved happy and positive. Sorry. Carry on.

Surge has no business playing in that tournament, they’re going to get destroyed. If I was a parent on that team, I’d be upset. It could hurt the kids morale. How does losing by 10 goals be beneficial? Choose another tournament 91. Stick to the mylacrosse ones

As a paying parent on one of the teams that’s playing, I would rather face the Venom than the surge. I’d rather our team play the better of the two.

How would losing by 10 goals to Venom benefit you?

Now now be nice to the Surgeons! They are new(ish) and any given Sunday miracles can happen. If some venom players fill in they will be stronger but will rightfully lax off some surgeon parents/players/opponents. Think there will be more than one “b” team (Devildogs...) so they will all get better. We all know who’s who in the zoo at least the surgeons raise the tailgating game! ;p

Sturgeons are Havoc w some new coaches. Mid level B team at best. What makes them better than last year?

The coaches have to know that they won't be competitive games. what team playing in this tournament is going to lose by 10 goals to venom? the answer is no one.

Do you realize that you are bashing a team of ten year olds. Were you picked on that much in elementary school and high school that you now have to reciprocate that towards 5th graders. Maybe you never even made a team or just that unhappy with your life that you have to pawn your frustration's out through a forum towards little kids. Surge has a bunch of kids that want to learn the great game of lacrosse. They just want to play and have fun. This doesn't give you the right, "the almighty anonymous" postee to pick on them. Keep living through your kid because that will get you far in life.

no one is bashing 10 year olds. someone is simply stating that they are a mid level b team playing in a tournament against a teams. that's all

We won’t know until they play. Good luck to all of the teams!

I guess this post is not bashing 5th graders. I must be missing something. You basically called 10 yr olds castoffs.

Anyone know what’s going on with tourny machine? Can’t find almost all the tournaments, even when changeing states to NJ and CT. Also, my sons team playing in igloo tourny this Sunday and his team isn’t listed, nor igloo. Like 3 teams total In the age group. Other age groups nothing

How did the rebels do today? Any word?

91 Surge is a solid B team- as far as I know they are playing in the B bracket in that tournament. So I don’t know why everyone has there panties in a bunch.

Originally Posted by Anonymous

They had a rough day

Rush 2 wins
igloo 1 win
Rebels 0 wins

Because most people on here are a bunch of tools - let the boys play and have fun. Wait another 3 years when these boys grow and your precious little superstar now gets passed bye.

Just a theory I have. I think some of these tourney directors don’t want to list the tourneys in tourney machine so they can keep everything low key. Just my opinion

Probably the best post ever on here!

What tournament was today?

Fall Super Series , today was the A teams , tomorrow is the B teams

Do you folks engage in any activities besides youth lax. Reading some of these post, it's concerning many parents lives are consumed around following, watching 5th grade boys run up and down a field playing lacrosse.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're in opposite brackets

is columbus day the next tournament?

When does tourney app update for schedules?

rebels with 30 kids on team and half of them never see the field. Shame on parents for putting their kids thru that. “ at least my Johnny is on an A team”. Your Johnny will never get any better sitting on the bench for a 5th grade team. Stop being nothing more than a paycheck to these organizations.

Clearly they saw the field this weekend

The schedule is up for Columbus Day, it looks like Legacy Igloo and the Rebels got grouped up and then the Turtles, Express and BBL

Thurge is going to do really well on Monday. Good for them

don't overlook the moose. they could take down everyone

Legacy, moose, igloo, Rebels. Play, the great silencer! Four teams enter, one team leaves (the bracket).

Looked at schedule. Not sure why Turtles and BBL in top Bracket but play 2 B Teams. Anyone understand this.

O'riley is the express B team - but they bring half the A team

Express O'Reilly you guys are a piece of work. I would rather play for any other organization and take my lumps against BBL and others than play for you bunch of losers. Maybe some of their players are playing for their 2030 team this Monday. Pathetic.

the express teams playing are 2 different teams. it's LI Express and Express North

Why did S2S get pulled out of the B bracket and express jump into there spots after the schedules were set? Now S2S has to play BBL, Turtles and Express North!!
Not right!
And you know Express is bringing down at least 8 players from the A team cause they have small numbers on the B team
They should of just played in there regular bracket.

Best matchup of the day will be Rebels Mom's vs. Turtles Mom's in a tri-fecta booze/calorie intake/yell off. Tough to pick a winner there, will have to let the competition on the side of the field/parking lot play out. Early predictions are for tight outfits, too much make-up and bad tatoo's that have weathered poorly with time and many husbands with embarrassed expressions and completely understandable wandering eyes. Looking forward to it!

[ChillLaxin] what people look like or how loud they cheer for their own 10 year old children. Once again this message board could be useful and occasionally offers valuable insight but most often is people like you talking smack about kids and parents you don't even know.

Fake news. Not a negative word was uttered about any children. There is a difference between cheering for your own child and disparaging his opponent and that herd of heffers does not understand the difference. Don't need to know them and don't want to know them based on the behavior I have witnessed on a number of occasions. Clean up your act and the comments will go away. A great opportunity awaits you this weekend to change the perception. Lose with class...

According to the site we play Turtles, Express North and S2S which are all in the Big 10 Bracket. Not sure if you consider that the top or not. Just happy to have the boys back on the field.

will the turtles even break a sweat? maybe bbl gives them a game, doubt it

North won also correct?

No venom by 2
And S2S is a average untested B team at best!
The top bracket is moose, igloo and legacy
Bbl will crush that bracket they are in. Turtles game might be the best match up in that bracket
Too bad Express played chicken and went into a total B bracket
With half of there A team coming to play.

Weather going to be an issue Monday?

I think I remember reading on here that Venom came back and beat north by a goal

This lacrosse season for Li another uncertain joke like the spring summer .

when will the halloween havoc schedule be released?

I'd like for S2S to play Surge. I think that would be an even match-up.

that's a pretty baseless comment. Even when they were Havoc, this was a strong B team with experience playing together. S2S has not even played a relevant game yet. Plus, the S2S team is chock full of B players and is a new team.

schedule is up

S2S against 2way and BBL
I would save my money and stay home.

...Um, for the reasons stated above in the somewhat rude response I will restate: I'd like for S2S to play Surge. I think that would be an even match-up.

I know this forum is full of opinions, so here is mine, I’ve seen S2S and havoc play in the past, havoc couldn’t hang with the A teams, but they consistently beat b teams and allegedly they have improved a lot (now as Surge). S2S has almost always lost to town and b teams, so unless if they improved drastically this year, I’m almost certain that Surge would beat them easily.

Next weekend it seems a group of A teams might get to face off in Jersey - Legacy, Rebels, Rush, Igloo, express .... and possibly more

Where’s 91 Venom on that list?

Can you please stop trying to act like you are an independent parent who has had time to watch two different 2028 B teams in his spare time. Your obviously a havoc parent. Last year the team was a mess. One coach quit in the middle of the season. The team played in 2 tournaments last summer(while venom played in 5) . The last tournament they had about 13 players and needed 4 venom players to come down and help. Sounds like they changed things with a new name and new coaches. Good for them. But please stop acting like havoc was good team

scared?

S2S lost 9-1 to Hitmen last weekend. Think they will fare better against Surge as they have a great goalie and a bunch of talented GC kids who weren’t at the Hitmen game.

i didn't know that the hitmen had a '28 team

That was S2S B vs Hitmen. Leave these 10 year olds alone!!

Turtles have a 28 team ? Call them no response. Thx

"Close shop if they lost to hitmen"

Dude, not every kid or parent is training to play at cayuga college in the future. Some just enjoy the game and S2S and hitmen and surge provide an outlet for that. No need to disparage or suggest the kids quit and fold the team.

Agreed. Pathetic some of the comments made about kids and or peoples physical appearances.

Agreed! This is a cowardly thread where everyone is anonymous.

when will the oktoberfest schedule be released

Quiet of late... Rush, Rebels, Igloo, Legacy, Express, Turtles. Are they interchangeable position wise or has any relative order emerged in the fall?

Igloo
Express
Rebels
Legacy
Rush
Turtles

The above must be posted by a 91 parent claiming they are the top dog by far, lest we remind you that the only tournament in the past year that they played on LI they not impressively beat FLG, a team so bad, it folded, beat a team made up overnight and lost to Express, who was beat by everyone except the rebels in the past tournaments. Sorry, not even close to a case at top dog atm. From the results this far in 2020 the most competitive teams on Long Island are 91 Venom, Legacy, Igloo, Rush and whoever does best this weekend (Turtles, Rebels and Express). Mooselax can possibly still be around the top, we’ll see when they play

Igloo? They lost to a town team and yes it was the same team in every tournament. Express has multiple teams that play 2028. Rush? What have they done besides lose.

I find it bizarre that people here often make a blanket comment like this, that while not I’ll intended, puts down town teams who compete at a very high level with club teams.

I know it’s not your intent to put down these town teams, but take note that town teams who consistently compete at a high level is rare and should be respected and celebrated, even if your team gets beat.

Igloo lost to Express less than a month ago. This weekend will be a good test for all LI teams.

donde esta los venom en octobrefest?

Igloo is NOT at the top of that heap and Moose is definitely in the mix. Igloo was beaten soundly by Moose this past weekend in a scrimmage with refs and face-offs.

All turtles teams dropped out . Another keep paying for nothing. Low budget organization get nothing for tution. Instead have a play date that they think its equal amount .

Yes agree. It is completely rational to have your 10/11 year old teams travel to NJ when our Governor (although he is an butt) says only essential travel is encouraged. Travel 3.5 hours to play 3 teams from LI w no playoff or championships. So it is a 3 game play date in another state that you are traveling for. BTW I don't believe anyone, especially the kids are in any danger (health wise) crossing state lines (It is BS) but why would any organization send their teams when it is advised not to? What is low budget about the group? Is it inferior coaching, equipment, facilities? I don't believe it is so why is it that you are care if they go or not? Enjoy the ride to NJ and I hope everyone does well and has fun.

completely pointless... you want to talk "money grab"? Sending us to NJ just to say we had a tournament is a money grab. Could just as easily have team vs team games anywhere on LI. The amount of time, money, resources wasted this weekend is unreal.

People didn't learn spring and summer. You all thought fall was going to be different ? Like pixie dust fell from the sky and everything is back to normal you are suckers...

Team vs team ? With tuition anywhere from $2700 to $4200 to play team vs team ? What you paying for ?

3 games is 3 games it doesn’t matter to the kids where they play them!

Your $3500 tuition does not represent one Tri star tourney entry. That’s about $1k per team... so maybe $50 per kid. But hey - that’s the new math.

Absolutely. A bunch of malaccas driving out to Philly suburbs to play kids from one town over. Meanwhile we could play at any private field on LI

Nobody is wrong for going to play in New Jersey and nobody is wrong for not playing in NJ. That’s where the games are being played so that’s where you go if you want to play. Real simple.

2way's going 6-0 in this tournament, i heard legacy wants no part of them

That was the densest comment. Yea Legacy makes the schedule.

they called the director and told them not to put us on their schedule

Lol your nuts. You need a hobby. Then the director called you.

Is this that crazy 91 venom coach again.

There’s 3 crazy venom coaches. The only sane one left the team because he couldn’t take the #daddyball nonsense. Really speaks a lot about the dynamic. Peace out venom.

Can't wait to hear all the excuses from Igloo and Express.

Express had a good tournament today. Not too impressed with the NJ teams. 2way still best 2028 team I’ve seen 2nd only to venom.

Rebels going in the wrong direction. How did the moms handle the losing???

Lost by 3,2, and 2, all competitive games - hardly the wrong direction. Obviously a need to tighten things up but no reason to think they won’t continue to improve with practice. These commenters should reassess their boring lives - there’s no reason to run to this board and post drivel every time the Rebels step on the field.

How about all the schools teachers and school administrators that were on the rebels sidelines this weekend and will all be in school on Monday surrounding themselves and exposing hundreds of innocent students and their families to the virus?!

Of course they will be and say they are scared 😦

How do we know where these hundreds of innocent students and families were this weekend? Rebels are no different than any other team whose parents include police, healthcare, educators, and, in your case: 10yr old lax obsessed wannabes. All wearing masks when the recommended 6ft of space couldn’t be maintained and outdoors. I guess you come out of your haz-mat basement just to take your son to lacrosse practice, right? Last I checked, this was a lax board, we all make our own choices, but you’ve passed baseless judgements that don’t belong on this forum.

They are not baseless and obviously you were on that sideline. You don’t choose the rules, you follow the rules. That’s part of youth sports. That’s part of teaching. You could have stayed home and went 0-3 you didn’t have to go to a high risk area. If you want to get back on topic, the rebels are now an after thought. They can’t even beat the turtles who most of you think aren’t any good either, so what does that make them.

Is this coming from the Turtles who
Lost a scrimmage to Legacy 38-8? And who also in a group text with their team bitched and complained they didn’t want to play the Rebels and Long Island teams this weekend? What parents complain about what tournaments their league puts them in? Those crazy parents and FYI the league shows their friends those group texts and so does the other non smithtown parents to other lax families. So who is the crazy parents now? 🐢 (muddle aged women dressing in high socks and cheer leader bows in their hair screaming like animals) have a great Y’all

You do realize besides this forum Turtles are irrelevant and nobody speaks of them

Legacy is going to Conn in 2 weeks to play 2way.

LOL! This ranking list was pretty accurate, just upside down.

Turtles parents seem bitter that they pay for tournaments but don’t ever play in any. $3K to run around at the armory - you probably should’ve just stayed w/ PAL.

2way/Legacy/91 play date in 2 weeks

Watch out for PA RR.
Gonna be top 10 next year.
Keep an eye out for Ole’ Kreepy on the sideline.

After TriStar we can all agree:
Legacy & 2Way are head and shoulders above the pack.
Sweetlax is solid.
Express struggles on defense.
Igloo struggles on offense.
Rebels struggle to throw and catch.
Turtles are bitter and irrelevant.

"After TriStar we can all agree:

Excellent summation. We (Legacy) play Moose in the coming weeks...see what's up with that noise.

Legacy and Express tied last month at Capelli, so easy there... 2 Way are clearly in a different class right now. Sweetlax is very good.

Didn’t Igloo beat legacy ?

legacy went 1-1-1 at that tournament with the loss being to igloo.

considering the talent loss at Igloo, great job by their coaches to keep them as a strong team

I know I’m going to get attacked for this but, it’s a honest question. Is this the same igloo team that lost to Smithtown a few weeks ago?

I guess on any given day. The kids are 10 and the talent seems relatively dispersed across clubs.

Yes

is that intended to be demeaning? The Smithtown team is arguably the best town team on LI in the age group and has been playing together for years. For a fall tourney, they probably should beat a new-ish team. It's not like saying a minor league team came and beat the Yankees.

Who caresssssss

This message board stinks. Could be decent but most care about ranking 10 year olds or gloating when a children's lacrosse team loses a few games. Here are the facts: There are a few teams that have had more success than others. Most teams in the middle of the pack could win or lose any game any day. The teams change each year somewhat and so their success will vary year to year. We all pay way too much (some more than others). There are crazy parents on every sideline. Some programs choose to travel more than others. Some will go across state lines and others will not. It is all good. Worry about your own kid and their health and happiness. Every single team that has been named in this thread has lost at some point. Also, most every sideline including (Rebels and Turtles lol) is filled with out of shape middle aged parents. Folks, look in the mirror and be honest... Its not that great what is staring back at you..

what's the next tournament that teams are playing in?

This is a good reminder to have some empathy for the snowflake Rebels dads on here who can't handle losing. Didn't realize they were so self-loathing. Sad!

LI Rush is the best all around 2028 team on Long Island and it's not even close. They have an absolute stud attackman and the Coaching is superb. The disrespect is very telling in here.

Clearly not written by a rush parent.

We, legacy, has a couple of playdates coming up the next 2 weekends. should be a good test to prove we belong in the conversation for top team. and to stop this nonsense that we dodge good competition

No it's venom that dodges competition

So Venom has to play in the tournaments you are playing in?

My son's team has played played both teams, legacy and 91 last season, and there's no reason for 91 to dodge anyone. i think we can agree that those are the two top teams in this age bracket. 91 is going to delaware, where legacy was playing, but is now legacy is doing blatant in 2 weeks. hopefully they'll play each other during the summer. i think they have a playdate with each other soon so we'll see how that goes. there are a couple of decent teams that will get better and should get some attention.

91, 2Way, and Legacy play each other next weekend. I guess none of them are ducking each other

Venom, legacy and 2way next sat up in Connecticut.
Only other top teams missing are moose and igloo when fully heathy.
This Sunday Legacy, Chucks, Turtles

legacy is playing this weekend in patchogue

I see Venom is playing in the Fall Brawl, is any other teams signed up?

So far it’s venom, turtles, rush and Surge.
Still early

Surge for the win...

Surge will be in the B bracket
If there is one 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Venom will probably play in the ‘27 bracket

Nice day for 3 or 4 games..

How was today’s play date?

Wet..

Play day at st joes today.

Turtles beat legacy by 2
Legacy beat express chanachuck by 1
Turtles beat express chanechuck by 1
Turtles beat tomahawks by a lot

In their last 4 games the turtles have beaten the rebels, legacy, and express A.

Legacy waxed Turtles. Express beats them handily now also. Turtle moms storm the field in anger.

91 surge beat Legacy B
16-7

Legacy waxed you so bad your coach was mad and storm off the field.

lost

Well..... someone isn’t telling the truth

Turtles 3-0

this sounds juicy

Turtles went 3-0 yesterday. But they forget the thrashing they got recently.

This sounds fantastic, please share further details.

Of course, there is a difference of opinion. Its all 10 yr old kids posting on this site. Just look at the language and the comments. Kids always thought they tied or won. Its fun to see the kids dialed into this and posting so often. I get a kick out of reading their delusions. I think they cross a line when talking about
mom's, even if warranted.

What difference of opinion.
They won 3 games yesterday fair and square. Get over it and move on and give them the credit that they deserve. They are 10.

Turtles won- legacy is just mad

legacy lost to the turtles? hahahahahaha

Surge beat Legacy Dune Dawgs yesterday 17-7. The Surge team played very well and hustled all over the field The Surge parents are another story. They acted like they were playing in the WSYL Championship and screaming at kids on the Legacy team that were playing hard. The Ref had to get involved and tell them to basically shut their mouths. After the game the Surge kids wee telling the Legacy team that they stunk. Guess they learned that from their parents. They should all be very proud.

Yes, I’m sure it’s not what most of you want to hear but the turtles did go 3-0 and no no one stormed the field or stormed off to the parking lot. Maybe it’s just that the turtles are not that bad, and those other teams are not that good?

The Legacy Express and Turtles all played good competitive games. All 3 should be proud and played hard in nasty conditions.

This was actually a misunderstanding. A Legacy parent was telling his own child to watch his stick, he was swinging a bit wildly, nothing too terrible, playing hard. I believe the ref though it was a surge parent telling the Legacy boy to watch his stick. He told the parents on the sideline to be quiet and let the coaches coach. Good advice in my opinion for all teams at this level.

Agreed

There were 2 legacy teams A/B playing at different locations for those that can’t pick that up from these posts. Go back and re read, some of you are intertwining the posts.

it was not a Legacy parent. They were Surge parents yelling at a 9 year old for hard play. Probably the same parents that erupted for the 17 goal because they were winning by 10. Great sportsmanship! Keep getting excited for beating a 1st year 'B" team. Probably parents living through their kids.

Exactly. There are 4 or 5 maybe teams at this age that are all good. None are great and they are 10 so anyone can win or lose on any day.

Venom, Legacy, Rebels, Turtles, Express. Possibly Rush and Moose as well. Its all good they are kids so let them just be kids. They will all have different rosters again come August.

I agree (Turtle Mom with no back tattoos, eye patches, etc.) both Legacy and Express were awesome competition. Turtles like the water though, lol

Exactly!!! I think it just shows that ALL LI CLUB TEAMS ARE WATERED DOWN. Most of it due to Parent Ego. Let your kid play with his friends and love the sport!!!

i saw Turtles v Legacy and Turtles v Express. Parents from all teams were very behaved and no one had anything bad to say about anyone. It was a cold wet gross day - everyone deserves a medal for just being out there.

Rebels lost every game in their 2 tournaments so far, 2 years ago they were a top team, they probably aren’t even top 10 anymore in the area

Enough w the Rebels bashing. They have played all close games. They have good players can compete w anyone. The games this weekend we all competitive in nasty conditions. Give all kids credit for just being out there and giving it their all. This age group has no clear dominant team and that is a good thing,

Surge is a new team not just by name. Half the roster is new. New coaching staff and yes, parents are new and excited to cheer on good play - some for the first time. There was nothing derogatory yelled at kids or parents, so don't lob this into a Rebels/Turtles like "classless" conflict. It is a new B team just like Dune Dawgs, who will certainly develop and be more competitive by summer. Sad that parents call cheering on good play classless.

The parent the ref yelled towards was in fact the parent of the boy who got the penalty. He was swinging wildly after losing a ground ball, most likely out of frustration. He had 3 slashing penalties in the game and was clearly either not being coached to stop slashing or he wasn't being coachable. Everyone was trying to set him right and trying to help. The ref did do the right thing to tell the parent to let the coaches coach. Hopefully that young man keeps working with his team, coaches and parents to play the right way and trolls on this page don't hurl insults at a good day of developing young men to play right.

So glad my kid isn't on rebels or turtles. You all are very ugly.

No one cares about surge or that game

Whew good thing all those parent coaches were in the stands directing the kids. That always helps.

Any teams from the island going to NAL in Delaware?

that's not fair to talk about surge like that. they're a new team and deserve the accolades they are getting. i bet they'll be able to hang with some of these "A" teams. go Surge. what does that even mean, "read the thread"

Why are you breaking balls about surge?
There a new and solid B team playing and beating all the B teams they are supposed too. We didn’t know this forum is just about the A teams.
So what’s your team or do you not have the sack to admit who your kid plays for. Keep hiding - really ridiculous, just like all the other people are saying. They are 10- who really cares what level they are, they are young and love playing.

You are just happy they split 2 years ago bc they were the best team at this age... and proved it on the field.

They were the best team in 3rd grade? Wow. People will be talking about that 3rd grade 2028 Rebels team for the ages. Is that a serious comment??

I am hearing a lot of teams are pulling out of NAL in DE. Not a good sign that the organizers have taken down the page of participating teams. I think out of state travel is likely to be curbed in the weeks ahead. Hopefully there is still an opportunity for more local games. But big tournaments with lots of teams from all over probably will have to wait until spring.

And far from the truth.

More importantly the current Rebels couldn’t beat legacy, express orielly or the turtles over the summer, couldn’t beat igloo or rush at play day and they couldn’t beat express chucks at tristar. They haven’t beat a decent team since last year. FACTS

Surge is made up for the kids whose Dad's all want them to be great lax players, like they weren't, and are upset at them that they aren't (just watch) and made the team they could control... Good luck. Hope it works out for kids and parents alike. Stay in your lane, don't get out over your ski's.

you're are correct, this is absurd. There needs to be a separate Surge thread already!

sounds like a lot of jealous parents, who are on bad B teams, and are taking their frustration out on thurge. They're a good group and should not be knocked. Gang up on the rebels, not surge.

Trolls on back of the cage, no way!

They got beat by the Turtles on Sunday - so did Express Chucks
They know that they have not shot against 2way

Looks like the turtles and 91 will square off on Wednesday

Turtles are not in Wednesday’s tournament next for them is the 21st.

Anyone hear anything on NAL?

A Wednesday tournament?

Venom-Moose-2Way (in a three way scrimmage) Saturday in CT.

They were playing Against venom.
Wondering why they ducked out?

Oh stop it 91 daddy/coach, no team is afraid to play you, most teams keep wondering why you haven’t been joining the competitive tournaments in the area

Turtles dropped out because all of their coaches have to work

Good luck today rebels.

Venom by 1 over Moose. Three nice saves by goalie in the last minute to preserve the win. Good game.

Lol..

As I said the turtles coaches have to work during the week. On that note, I don’t know how anyone can say that the turtles are “ducking” anyone. They got their heads handed to them by legacy, and 3 weeks later not only played them again but did it through an invitation. I think we can stop with the ducking. In fact I don’t think any of these teams are ducking each other.

Did 2way beat venom and mooselax??

How did the rebels fair against the highly competitive lololol teams today?

I heard they beat some very bad teams badly

The rebels have 2 2028 teams. First few tourneys together. Think split now. I would not underestimate the hydra team.

That’s the team we are talking about. Their “hydra” team played bad teams today and beat them badly. Splitting 50 bad players into two teams gets you 2 bad teams. The math is easy.

It was the hydra team

Sorry 27/28*

i think you meant 27/28, there were parents there that had 2way 27 on the back of there shirts

Venom, you can't have it both ways. You claim you beat Moose by 1 or 2 and "it wasn't close", then you claim you lost to 2Way "by a few". Since when was a few 6+? Was that game "close"?

By the way talk about 2way basically cheating the age group? No one could be bigger offenders of that then 91?! I’ve witnessed it myself!

these kids are 10 years old. 2way has beaten venom and venom has beaten 2way. not many teams have beaten both

Let’s be real here.... how many kids on 2way “2028” are older than 10?

Li Trolls. Take note. No one from 2Way has been on hear touting their victories or proclaiming any dominance after two wins in friendly scrimmages. We won both and there was no drama or tension for us in either game. Final score vs. moose, or game anyway, was closer than game vs. Venom. Hope to do it again.

where is 2Way vs Eclipse, Primetime, etc

Any update on S2S vs. Surge?

Legacy Dune Dawgs beat Express O'Reilly 7-5 and beat S2S 7-3 on Saturday.

Is Dune Dawgs the Legacy A or B team?

there was a power surge... they got smoked by S2S

2way 10-6 over venom. Was tied at 3 halftime.
6-3 over moose.
They were better team Saturday.

S2S has two teams.

In the battle for B team dominance since we’re So Intent to talk about this. Here’s the rankings hot off the press.
1- S2S A ( really B ) team
2- express north
3- 91 Surge
4- legacy
Then everyone else ending with S2S B ( really like a D ) team.

If anyone is curious how is it possible that the turtles beat legacy A by 2 after getting killed by them 3 weeks ago? Just got verified that legacy had 4 6th graders playing on their team 3 weeks ago. Verified by parents on the turtles who play on the same town team as two players in legacy. Isn’t that sad. So it just isn’t the team from Connecticut or 91? That is very very sad. What kind of coach, let alone person would do that?? What do you tell the regular players on your team”step aside your not good enough to play this team?” I’m sure that wasn’t in their tuition description?

Then they must be terrible

That's not true. Turtles parents keep lying if helps you sleep at night.

This post is so funny and so far from the truth...

Yawn, unfortunately this occurs with the holdbacks at every single grade level for every location. If you are into integrity and carding (like soccer or baseball)... this is not the right sport for you.

You forgot to add rebels hydra to that list.

I could see the coach doing that.

Your not listening, no holdbacks. They came from the 6th grade team just to play in the scrimmage. They are actually on the 6th grade legacy team!!! Have some reading comprehension??

No you are a Moran turtle man there was no 2027 legacy kids there.

So it just isn’t the team from Connecticut or 91? That is very very sad. What kind of coach, let alone person would do that?? What do you tell the regular players on your team”step aside your not good enough to play this team?” I’m sure that wasn’t in their tuition description?

This is all lies nobody accused legacy of this

I think it’s obvious that all the detest the rebels got a few years ago was all because of the people that left to be turtles. What a reprehensible group of humans those parents and Mario Masi are.

2Way over Venom 11-6; Venom over Moose 7-5; 2Way over Moose 6-3; Game one may have been 12-6 and game two may have been 7-6. I don't think anyone on any of the teams is losing any sleep over the exact finals. The Jumbo-tron was tough to see clearly on such a beautiful sunny day for lacrosse in God's Country up in CT

Oh, the irony. stunad...

Look turtle man learned a new word.

This is 2028 (5th grade) lacrosse. Who cares about who beat who, we should be happy that our kids are playing a sport that they love. Most of these parents that are posting are probably people who never played sports. Some of these boys will probably be on different teams next year and some will probably pick baseball or another sport in High School. Let's stop worrying about rankings and who beat who and credit the boys and teams that played well.

Awesome, more drama from turbels. Now legacy is being dragged into this 🤦‍♂️

How about we wash out all the negative personnel insults and get back to lacrosse. So how are you ranking the top 5 A teams. Folks allow people to give their opinion before the piranhas attack.

2way

Legacy

2way
Venom
Legacy
Moose
Express/Igloo

*igloo often plays without top kids. If 2way had older kids this weekend (IF) would flip them and Venom

2 Way
Mooselax
91 Venom
Legacy Lumberjax
Turtles

Top dog in the area is definitely 2way, they beat 91 pretty hard this weekend and beat moose. At Tristar they lost or tied to Sweetlax, and had a close game with Rush. Sweetlax lost to Rush and Legacy, and beat Rebels and Express.

The Long and the short of it all at the moment now for Long Island teams, there are 7 teams that have proven they can play with the top teams, win, lose or draw.

Any of these teams can probably beat any of them, not 50 50, but any given Day. In alphabetical order

91 Venom
Express
Igloo
Legacy
Mooselax
Rush
Turtles

The talent at this age group is all spread out, it seems most teams have 3-4 really strong kids with a decent team behind them. On the national level it is going to be very hard for Long Island teams to hang in the future unless if there is some consolidation. I have a feeling there will be lots of moves next year, time will tell

Before Rebels parents get all butt hurt, once your team starts beating A teams again, they’d be right back on that list, all teams and 3-4 moves from falling off the list or moving to the top

If Massapequa is on that list there can be 20 other LI town teams there as well... That is funny.

Legacy A and Moose play today.

Moose throttled Igloo A 10-2 recently...

Very good summary - except that Igloo has no business being included in there. They don't have size, and they lost all their scorers.

After today's Legacy/Moose game, the updated top 5 for this area is below:

2 Way

I happen to agree about your Massapequa comment. Manhasset, GC, WI. To mention a few. I don’t think you can argue with Smithtown being there. As much as it pains me to say.

But so did Smithtown. Igloo A is not very good. Should not be in The conversation of any top A teams

That team could compete with the top club teams in my opinion.

Still think venom is better than legacy but otherwise I agree

Last year Rush beating rebels would have been a thing. This year not so much. Let’s see how rush does against venom today.

Group A is a mess

Legacy 9 - Moose 8. Great game. Face off play was one sided. Ref's let 'em play, Strong Island style!

10-8 and refs were one side in moose favor !!!

So turtles beat legacy last week 6-4 and control the face offs and moose lax loses by two. Love it detest them you have to give the players and coaches some respect. For a basically first year program they are right there. Moose lax and legacy both have very good coaching staffs

"...refs were one side in moose favor !!!"

I don't recall Moose being Man-up at all during the game. I could be mistaken, just saying. Also, thought the score was 9-10, but a loss is a loss, it doesn't really matter. Legacy had a few really nice goals and week side looks. Rode well and dominated Face/Offs.

I thought legacy was done for the fall?

Venom Rush game was a good game, both teams had some things that they did well, and as normal with 10 year olds had some things that needed improvement.

Glad to see some compliments about 10 yr olds!!

Score was 9-8

Fair point

I agree!! If LI Club teams consolidated down to 3 teams, no state would be able to beat us. Even the extreme hold backs in VA and MD

HAHAH. Big if. Miss the old Empire state games. Those were truly the best LI teams that could be put together.

Agreed but I think at this age having many teams that can compete against each other week in and week out is a good thing.

Which team was scheduled to play in the fall classic and is not playing anymore? They schedule changed on tourney machine

Bored MD 2028 parent question about the northern (at least to us) teams. In MD, we have a spring league where all the top clubs in MD and northern VA play. It’s a pain to drive to the games which for many teams are close to an hour away seven or eight weekends in a row, but the games are really great. I’ve been told no comparable league exists in the NY/NJ/CT area. How come? Would it just not work geographically? Seems like it would be a blast since you have so much more parity between the clubs than we do.

I can sum it up in one sentence. "Greedy club directors."

None of them like each other and if one started a league, the others wouldn't support it. LI clubs mostly didn't even scrimmage until COVID shut down the tournament scene and directors needed a way to not give refunds.

In CT we have pretty robust town based programs. The league is CONNY. I think MA has the same thing with Mass Bay. Each town has their own format but in lower Fairfield County the cost is generally about $400 - $500. Includes 2 or 3 practices per week and 2 or 3 games per week. High quality coaching (many club coaches and high school coaches). There is a tournament at the end of the season. When CONNY ends the club season starts.

All, new to the forum. But have a talented 2028 in S. Jersey looking for a top non-parent coached team (which seems like all there is around here and in the Philly area). Willing to travel! Do the LI teams (91, Express, etc.) take kids from that far away? What do they do if they can't make mid-week practices. Just trying to get the young buck the best coaching and opportunities I can.

Interesting. Sounds like the CT/Mass model might be the best. In MD, the club scene has marginalized the town-based teams even at the younger ages and led to a lot of us stunads to pay increasingly high club fees year around. Good to hear a robust town based program is working somewhere.

Hopefully we’ll get to play some of the northern teams this summer if COVID allows. Getting boring playing the same handful of club teams over and over down here!

Unless your kid is a stud in a specialty position they won’t take him. Especially if you can’t make practice. How is that fair to the kids that go to practice. Most of the top Long Island face off kids (older) actually play for club teams in different states. Most 2028 kids on Long Island have been on club since 3rd grade.

Move to LI! It’s your only hope!

See you in the Spring...hope for more normalized situation locally. Plenty of good teams, talent dispersed across about 6 teams on LI that are generally equal. No need to go to MD or elsewhere until teams consolidate a bit further. In three years it will be down to three top teams and there will be enough talent for each of them to compete at the very highest level nationally.

What happened this past weekend. I was told they combined 5th and 6th grade and played locally? Any information?

Yup

Join Jersey Express, based out of Marlton NJ, they are a full year program.

Join Jersey Express. Based out of Marlton NJ. They play all year. Spring tournaments, nxt league, 4-5 tournaments during summer and fall tournaments.

Great game today
Mooselax vs Hammerheads
All the boys played great, very exciting game.
Hammerheads by one.l(5-4) Moose is the real deal!!
Expect great things this spring/summer!!!!
Beautiful day for a lacrosse game.

Great game yesterday
Mooselax vs Hammerheads
Hammerheads by one(5-4)
Moose is the real deal- expect big things for Moose this spring/summer.
What a beautiful day for lax yesterday.

Sounds like Hammerheads should start a travel team .

Isn’t mooselax an offshoot of hammerheads?

Hammerheads is an amalgamation of a lot of players from various towns and travel programs that get together to play. Kids play with their club when they play against Hammer. Moose is in no way related to Hammerheads other than a few of their players play with the Hammerheads when available. Great day of outdoor lax. Lot of venom helmets and some Igloo, Surge, GC and other scattered in.

Honestly, if you’re reading or posting on this site the last thing you should be doing is making fun of people doing the same or people that enjoy lacrosse. Have a bit of self awareness.

This all started because someone was asking what tournament was on Feb 15th. Maybe someone wants to give their son a opportunity to play a little extra lax this winter.

I can hear the request from 10yr olds echoing all over Long Island at this very moment: "Dad, can you please find me a random tournament to play with random kids indoors in February." Please...

Should the 10 year olds drive themselves to practice too? Or can the parents help them out with that? Enough you condescending twit. You aren’t impressing anyone. You detest this site yet you are on it. That makes you pathetic.

I was impressed.

rebels stink

Still have no idea wha tournament is in Freeport on 2/15. LOL

Teams in this bracket are Hills, Lockjaw, Levittown and Oceanside. There are plenty of kids who want to play lacrosse and only get better for the spring. These teams have a good amount of kids from AA teams who also do town teams because they are great and have the passion.

What is lockjaw?

they are a AAA team, i saw them destroy 2way, legacy, and 91. They are from NJ

Fake news! They are from Li.

Lockjaw was an oft used description of Locust Valley residents in the 80's. Not as common since many of the estates have been sold off and subdivided and large amounts of riff-raff have populated the ranks-the public schoolers...

Hammerheads, different unis...

better than Hammerheads

Thanks express, I mean lockjaw dad.

Hammerheads are not a real team- different kids every time. Neither is lockjaw- kids from other clubs play for them. It’s ok. If the kids want to play let them play

Sometimes you get useful information and sometimes you get people talking out their butt

Lockjaw is from Baldwin. Hammerhead.

No lockjaws down in Baldwin!

91 venom coach is going to jail for stealing MTA overtime. Any truth to this? I was under the impression that all the coaches worked as high school coaches. Can anyone confirm?

Absolutely false

Not going to find a better group of coaches. This is 100% false.

The most false thing about this is claiming there is no better group of coaches, what a joke. For reference it is parent who “acts” like a coach, but is not a coach

Are you referring to the “great group of coaches” that prioritize playing time to their sons and their sons friends? What a joke!

Wow do you come across bitter. You have no idea what your talking about. There's a son of a coach on the team that doesn't play all that much, so your theory goes right out the window

91 trash... starts from the top down. The whole program attracts a certain type. And if you don't see it, its because you are part of the cretin mentality. Strong island all the way...

DON'T BE JELLY

Programs with sideline parent coaches: all of them

No Jelly. I've seen the show at various age levels. Have never been to a 91 tryout and and never will. Now you can go ahead and take your shot about my kids and not making the team. Not an issue...

And I don’t have a horse on the 91 team but say what you want about them playing their sons or sons friends...they still dominate Long Island teams as of late but we shall see if that holds true this spring.

There is no dominant team at this age. Many clubs have some dads coaching. At 10/11 years old its fine and dads connecting with their kids shouldn't be seen as a negative. Tough spot is that parents pay big money and expect their kids to get a fair shot. The top 91 team at this age does as well as any of the others so it seems to be working as far as wins and losses. This age group is very competitive and has about 4 or so teams that can win on any given day.

I think the bigger issue paying parts should focus on is roster size.

You hit the nail on the head. Every travel team carrying over 22-24 kids to make the money.

Every team? Is that a fact?

Just look at the 91 2026 team as a barometer. Same coach. The 2026 team was dominant in 5th grade also. 2 years later it’s a mess. Daddy ball works fine when the the kids are younger. Eventually kids(and parents) realize they aren’t getting a fair look. They leave and word gets out. Then kids stop coming to tryouts cause they know they won’t get a fair look either. Thats pretty much what happened to the 2026 team

pretty simple, if the roster size is too big, go to a different team. its your choice. Plenty of good options.

Is there a chance maybe just maybe the coaches kids in this case deserve to play more? The rec should be to talk to the parents of kids on the team. How are they treated by the coaches, are the kids getting better, are the kids having fun

Hammerheads do have a main team and when all together is a AA team of all good friends. They have friends from 91, Moose, igloo, legacy and express.
It’s when some of those players can’t make certain tournaments they have other friends fill in. It was started a few years ago for kids looking for extra run and to have fun.
Great kids, parents and coaches.

Nobody cares

How was the competition in the Freeport tourney today?

Solid town teams. 3 teams w 1 loss each

Rebel parents are defeated

Rebels...bah!!!!

Huh

Trash

Any tournament info on 91 venom, turtles, express?

just curious on why you're asking

a bunch of teams doing the spring launch tourney

Express playing in every tournament under the sun

Because their websites don’t list the tournaments they are doing

I can't wait for the B team tourney schedules so parents can start talking about how great their team is going to be again. I miss boozy Legacy parents

Amazing that this is what occupies your time. You come on a 5th grade lax site and degrade parents and kids. Probably never hugged as a child.

i for one can't wait to watch some lacrosse and listen to the parents yell and scream at their kid.

Unfortunately he’s not going anywhere. Clearly invested and bitter.

does anyone know what teams are doing the spring launch tournament?

Boozy Legacy parents? Why criticize kids that play on B teams?

Legacy a B team? They are one of 4 or 5 that can compete on any given day with any other LI team. Everyone like to detest but the truth is this age group has no dominant team.

Legacy
91 Venom
Moose
Rebels
Turtles
Express (TBD)

Anyone who says anything else is just not being honest.

Igloo

Rebels? Igloo? this was just to get a rise out of people, right?

Igloo Beat legacy in the fall and lost to express by a goal yeah so I guess it was to get a rise out of people , sounds about right

did igloo really beat legacy in the fall?

Igloo beat Legacy a few times.

WHICH TOURNAMENTS?

Igloo beat legacy A or B?

Having played Igloo and Legacy in the last year in games and or scrimmages each more than once, no contest. Igloo is NOT on the same level as Legacy.

Debatable as to whether Legacy is above 91.

Personally I see in order, 91, Legacy, Moose as a notch above, then Express, then others...

Let me guess, first born right?

I promise you that you will see tons of team switching in your near future as players will grow/develop quickly in one year and/or parents/kids get disgruntled about playing time, be it valid or political.

If the latter, no doubt you will see it as political, you will be back on here soon enough boasting that your new team is best and try sideline recruiting from the team you just left.

So sit back and enjoy the ride and try your best not to get caught up in the rankings from season to season.

Tip of the day: Stop ranking and instead focus on player/team development and sooner or later everything will work it’s way out in your sons favor.

i'm still waiting for which tournaments igloo beat legacy.

Sorry bro, probably got you wrong.

My frustration is really aimed at the ranking of teams. More often than not parents on here get caught up too often in the rankings and lose sight of what really matters.

I believe parents and kids lose out every time rankings come into play.

Looking forward to a great season of watching teams battle.

Played both that day beat both

Having seen both teams a few times I wouldn’t be surprised if surge keeps it close or wins

i think the majority will be rooting for team thurge

Thurge gets some goalie play we got a game

Surge goalie is pretty good. Generating offense is the issue.

From the goalie dad LOL

"From the goalie dad LOL"

You are a fool. That goalie dad is one of the quietest people around and could care less if his son is an athletic stud or not. If he had an ego about his son or were on here touting him he wouldn't be on Surge or Igloo... It would be really funny if he quietly bought you and put you to work in a menial job as his driver or handyman on the grounds.

As per goalie mom. Shut up and just let your team get spanked.

anyone else on here want the rebels to go 0-3? we know it won't happen but it would be nice

Originally Posted by Anonymous

Defense is pretty bad too.

well you got your wish, the rebels didn't get a T shirt.

I think the rebels should continue entering “b” bracket tournaments since they lost in that division. Not sure why they even entered that tournament if they consider themselves an “a” team.

The problem is that the rebels couldn’t form 2 teams so they’re stuck with 30 something kids with A and B talent. That’s why they entered that tournament

Accurate

You mean the outlaws in power ranger uniforms?

Why all the detest? Kids went to a tournament against other kids and went 3 and 1. "B" teams you say? Who are the "A" squads hat roll over everyone? Someone posted earlier that is age group has a handful of pretty good teams and they are probably one of them.

Sorry rebels. You might go 3-1 vs B teams. But fro my what I saw you’re going to not fair well against normal A teams. Like 91, express etc etc. it’s all good. Like the giants this is a rebuilding year for your team.

They will be the only 2 "A" teams next year.

What are you talking about?

what about legacy or rush or moose?

Not a fan of the Rebels program or the female cretins that graze on the sidelines yelling at their sons opponents, but enough with the A/B labels. The team won 3 games against teams on their schedule. As far as I know they didn't send out the invites and dictate the tournament participants. Let them have their day. Let your son's team do the "talking" with their play on the field...

Great quote

When’s the next tournament

There should be some attention paid to the male fitness and hygiene from what I can see, At any tournament on any weekend 75% of all parents are in need of a salad and a treadmill.

They can also lose to a number of teams any given day such as Legacy, Moose etc. Lastly, these message boards serve little purpose as far as real information goes. They provide people an opportunity to hide behind a keyboard and bash children and parents. Sometimes you can get a good laugh but most of the time the posts are ridiculous.

12 months post the start of the pandemic. Dad bods will be out and blazing

All true, but Turtle/Rebel Mom's in a league of their own!

We've played the Rebels twice in the last year and I honestly have no idea what you're are talking about with the crazy Moms. They were nothing as you all are describing. Maybe get your facts straight and see the team as they are now not what they were in the past. Maybe some crazies have left or they just don't feed off the other teams parents like the past. Look in the mirror my friend, you'll probably he surprised what other people are seeing in you.

ok rebel mom, you didn't play the rebels twice last year because you are a rebel parent

Ok, will give the Rebels mom a fresh slate. It must be the crew that left for the Turtles then...

Which tournaments are team 91 venom playing in?

who is asking?

Venom should just play Express bc according to someone on here they are the only 2 LI "A" teams... lol

It will be an exciting race to the finish line to see which team is home to the real loud mouth brawler mom's that engage in the first sideline fight for the year-based on history prognosticators have it at Rebels or Turtles.

Next year Venom and Express will be best 2 teams. New players will be showing up for those teams throughout the season. Recruiting is already in the works.

Awesome. Go Venom and Express! Perhaps merge and become a super team and remove any doubt as to who is the best.

Who carries the most and who carries the least ?

Why is it OK for teams to continue to bring kids throughout the season to the team, but if a player leaves a team... he gets a scarlet letter?

stop, all goalies are the best because it takes a brave individual to play that position

Venom goalie is good but not the best Rebels goalie is good but not the best. There are 5 goalies who are good right now because everything changes.

Agreed. The point was not that venom goalie is “the best”. Rebels, igloo, whoever good too. But certainly the Venom goalie hangs w all of them and no idea why they would be “recruiting”

Seen both the rebels and venom goalie play. Kid on venom is definitely better.

He probably just found out his sons spot was given away to a Brunswick reclass. Though they usually dont kick you out until 8th grade he may have gotten the early boot. 2way biggest hold back org of the North East. Sadly they dont even end up being a top team but their HS rosters have MAYBE 2-3 on age kids maximum......now they have their little boutique tournament money grab plan so they’ll be even worse playing bad teams all year but DE will make A LOT more money. ‘Wick is darn good though....and no not cut as we play for a proper org but saw it happen to a lot of good people/kids.

91/Legacy, Moose/Express/Rush/, Igloo/Turtles/Rebels

Easy cowboy. Anyone who was at that game knows the truth. Pretty sure when they played “normal” rules 2 weeks prior was 11-1

Lol, you figured it out. Yes, they’re ducking every team. See you at the blatant tournament

Sounds like this chat is filled with parents living their failed athletic lives through their kids. This is 10 year old lacrosse. When we were 10, we were playing against our friends in a town league. This is ridiculous! Are you really talking about who the best team or player is at a specific position. Most of these kids have not even hit their max ability yet. Most attack will end up playing middie and some middies will end up playing defense. If your son/daughter wins a tournament at 10, what changes in your life? Nothing! Stop living your lives through your kids. Let them enjoy!

Sorry, but that’s not fun at all. We need to crush kids and a certain set of moms in order to sleep well at night.

Will the same guy/gal be here in 3 years telling us the kids are 13/14 and we shouldn’t be discussing who the better teams are?? I so look forward to those who hang here to shame those who hang here. Not. It’s a discussion board!! Discuss!

2way is the better team compared to LI teams. Where is the proof they are all holdbacks? All teams have a few. See you in June.

Most of top Li teams are at Blatant. Only 2 missing

Who is missing? Legacy is one,

Turtles I believe are not in. They had semi successful fall. Probably stay away from the better teams this dummer.

Is the schedule even posted ? How do you even know what teams are playing?

Moose 91 are in

Great to have the kids back out on the lacrosse fields. Suffolk PAL started this weekend. Cold and rainy but well worth it to have them all competing again. Hope all enjoyed Lax again.

The kids that are the best players now will most likely continue to be the best players in 2-3 years...yes a few will pop onto the scene given practice or a growth spurt, but for the most part, the good athletes are not going to suddenly regress...

Thanks.

And what are you basing your astute observation on? Kids develop at different rates - some kids won’t grow and other will grow sick of the sport. There will be alot of physical changes from 7-10th grade impacting this group. Look at the top teams in any age group - their rosters are completely different from when they were in 5th grade. The 91 Bandits have always removed the weaker and added stronger players every year. They have kids from out of state on that team. The kids need to keep working or else they will be replaced by those who are better and want it more.

Good athletes don't just become non good athletes because of age and growth. You know a good athlete when you see them early on. Lesser athletes can develop their skills further to compensate but very few of the top players will just fade to black.

You sound like a deranged Coach who needs to keep his kid propped up. 5th Grade means nothing. Once these kids mix in middle school and HS, they no longer compete with just their age group. Those that succeed are the ones that work hard and keep growing - 2 things you don’t just “know” when they are 10 years old.

Completely agree with you. Interest and hard work will lead to skill improvement and being a better player, and if the better athlete has those attributes as well they are going to remain at the top of the class. Not deranged at all. The three freshman from LI starting at Duke this year were all studs from fourth grade and up, they didn't just appear and they didn't fall off. The four best kids on our PAL team in 2nd, 4th 6th and senior year were still the four best...one kid that was spastic early on was passionate and became a highly skilled good player as he got older. The best kids on our rival team were still the best kids from 4th grade to sr. year. They don't magically regress. So those instances are where my astute observations come from. If I ranked the kids from 1-24 in 6th vs 12th there would only be minor shuffling of their rankings. Does anyone really disagree with this that has already seen it unfold? Maybe my group was an outlier, I don't think so though.

you fellas are getting weird

You obviously haven’t done this before because what you aren’t realizing is that come 9th grade, a ton of kids who “used to be” 2027s, will now magically become 2028s and all of a sudden your 1-24 rankings will be meaningless. Also, most undersized attack and middies who are “better athletes” won’t be able to keep up when they are 5’7” and a hundred and nothing lbs playing against men who are over 6’. Puberty is a game changer for many and there will be plenty of kids who were among the best in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades who are simply average come high school. Sure, many will remain among the top but your list of the top 24 will change by a minimum of 50%. I’ve seen the slow, fat kid turn into the tall, slim and super fast kid. I’ve seen the average sized, forgettable kid grow into the average sized, fastest and strongest kid and I’ve seen the biggest and strongest attack turn into the average sized attack. It will happen, don’t fool yourself.

Agree 100% with this ^^^

Ah, you sound angry at life. What you described above is a change of circumstance, not the relative standing of a player compared to the same group he has played with and against his whole life. When was the last time you saw an in school holdback at a public school, um never. ok, kid may go away for a year and come back the grade below. Again, rare. The age advantage is ephemeral and far less relevant at 17 and almost non-existent at 18. Yes the fat kid grows and blossoms. I'm speaking in general from what I have witnessed as a coach. Of course there are outliers.

Go Igloo. Glad you had a nice day. The love for Igloo comes from their own sideline and slick AA...

Which s the express A team? The b team is o’rielly? Thought it was the chucks, but they’re 2027 I believe?

There was not a lot of action between the top teams in the fall, this spring we’ll find out. The teams that have a chance at being top teams this spring are (alphabetical) 91, Express, Igloo, Legacy, Mooselax, Rebels, Rush and the Turtles. I know a few of them are signed up for NLF and some aren’t. The long story short is 2028 age group on Long Island has the best kids on 8 different teams.

Best kids on 8 different teams? Please explain

Most of the best kids play with their town teammates as opposed to all the best playing for one team, some of these are due to dad’s coaching for the travel teams, other times it is just normally where their town players play travel for. Some will change in time, but many of the top players won’t be changing teams due to their dads being coaches or being good friends with the coaches. 2028 years s a very loaded age group on LI with 99%+ being on age, it would be interesting to see the best play together at some point.

How did you come up with the 99% playing on age?

"99%+ being on age"

OK...we'll take the above as conjecture not grounded by any supporting data or evidence to support or even a definition of what "on age" actually even means in the lacrosse world. '10 birth year? 5th grade? 12/09 cutoff? 9/09 cut off? 7/09(joke)?

That being said, I do agree with the poster in that dating back to the original Turtles there has generally been 1-2 dominant teams per age group on the island then a pretty deep 2nd tier. In my opinion there are 8 '28 teams on LI that are very competitive with each other with 91 given a slight nod, though not dominant by any stretch.

Given this theory, I will be surprised if whichever of those 8 teams is the best this year can compete with the best out of MD where the talent is more concentrated between 3 programs usually.

You know 91 never beat Legacy I mean never but Legacy has beat 91. So stop saying 91 has a edge on any team oh and express beat 91. Just let the kids play and then talk.

They haven’t played in 2 years. You are correct but cmon the teams arent even close to being the same.

Sorry to offend. I have the utmost respect for the Legacy team and hold them in the highest regard and in that upper echelon. I did not realize that they have never lost to 91, but knew they had some L's vs other LI teams. From playing both teams, I thought 91 was slightly better. Any given day, or perhaps just how we matched up. All good. Many very good players dispersed across 8 teams. I'll stick to that comment.

91 lost to legacy 2 years ago in the championship game but got shut out by 91, 5-0 in pool play earlier that day

Only one week left to know what going on. Moose lax dad get why don't you have your child play on 91.

Great town lax at blatant sat. Nice to get back to almost normal. Great lacrosse , nice to see lax tents. Blatant did a fantastic job .

Great games, plenty of surprises - fields were pretty poor. Glad the rain held out for the most part.

Sorry, new to NE lacrosse. So do the kids play for their town teams only in the spring then play for tournament teams (legacy etc) in the summer? Or are you saying the kids on the town teams don’t play for those teams at all?

In MD they just play for one team all year and tryout in July. We’ve played some really good teams from NY and MA and just assumed it was the same.

I would have to imagine that all travel kids play in PAL (town teams). There is 2 more weeks left in PAL then the majority of the travel tournaments start. Travel teams still practice all year round. I think what he was referring to is, for example most of the WI kids play for Legacy, most of the Smithtown kids play for turtles/rebels etc

Generally speaking kids play for both their town teams and their travel teams in the Spring. The town season is only 8 games over ten weeks and club travel is usually quiet tournament wise during that stretch on LI. Some of the stronger LI town programs have their teams practicing and playing together throughout the year but not mutually exclusive to whatever club teams their better kids may play on.

Thanks.

That makes sense, definitely a different setup. We have basically 3 levels, club (Crabs, MadLax etc), club light which are more advanced town teams that play against other town teams in county leagues and then Rec which is basically inner town teams playing each other. The first 2 play year round the other is just spring. Seems like a lot more of your kids play on 2 field teams. Then there’s box...

i heard legacy might not be playing in this tournament

Turtles just got a new coach according to a close friend who has a son on the team. Most likely taking some time to get acclimated.

so which teams gets the hardest and easiest schedule on saturday?

Mooselax looks to have the easiest schedule, Akwesasne Thunder definitely has the hardest.

If I was the coach of the Akwesasne Thunder I would make Rebels play 4 games since it's their tournament.

Maybe just a though team thunder said, we are traveling from upstate NY, give us as many games possible?

Besides a couple teams missing, looks to be a good tournament!

Looks like Rebels gave themselves 4 games, good for them

Isn’t cute how the rebels don’t play the Thunder or the Venom

They still have a very tough schedule, if they come out with 2 wins that would be pretty good, if they come out with 3 wins they are back towards the top. Is thunder supposed to be elite? I figure it’ll be one of 2 things with them, one they will get beat bad or if they win people will claim that they are all holdbacks

Thunder is an elite team from upstate. They are the favorites to win this bracket. The rebels have played the thunder and lost by a score of 5 to 2 while they blew out every other team. This is a very competitive division. Every team can be a top team. Good luck to all playing Saturday.

that's great that the rebels play 4 games, not, but you know that only the first 3 counts in the standings.

Rebels Moms, we'll be watching you. Here is the opportunity to clean up your act for the lax world to see and put your reputation to bed. Good luck.

Some pretty strict rules this weekend. Think they’ll be enforced? First tourny here for us since covid. Anyone been here for a tourny this spring? Will they be enforcing the single parent/no sibling rule?

LIU personnel roamed the grounds making parents stay in cars during practices. Even in parking lots when parents tried to congregate while kids were practicing a hundred yards away they were told to return to their vehicles.

Rules were supposedly strict in the fall as well. But they really weren’t. Go enjoy the games and stop worrying.

Great tourney today. Couple small fields but grass was perfect. 2028 has a lot of good teams. 91 above all, after that 5/6 other very good squads

Looked like 91 had a 2027 play with them desperate to win ..

Imagine this for a moment.... there were no 2027’s on the team. Makes you look like you’re grasping for an excuse of a loss. Quite sad really.
Besides you, great day for the boys to get out and play.... like normal again. Great job to all the teams who got out there and “left it all on the field!”

Before you post about a ‘27 playing for 91, know your facts, he’s a 2028 kid

Agree leave it on the field..

Is 91 playing in MA at NLF? Better question anyone know who will be there?

Great to be back on the fields in all honestly, nice grass! Awesome tournament, tons of fun and competition.

The boy is a 2028. Plays 2028 PAL and has played up in club for years. Additionally, he has practiced with the 2028 91 team on several occasions.

Consider this your lucky day Rebel mom’s and anyone else out there. Legacy dad has set the gold standard for the worst sideline parent around! Really awful behavior.

Agreed.

Rebels Mom's exonerated, it must've been the Turtles Mom's that were the wildebeast loudmouths from years past.

Legacy Face off dad, Wow. Way to strengthen the South Shore No Class reputation. That was about the worst parental behavior I have ever seen. AA, anger management, or maybe just don't go to your kids games anymore.

Well looks like Legacy has in fact lost to 91, handily. 91 a click above the other LI's teams at this point.

Legacy dad should be banned from ALL tournaments

Banned from all tournaments is perhaps a bit extreme. Everyone has a bad day. I would think Legacy program director or coach of 28's suspend him for the next tourney and suggest an apology letter that can be emailed as appropriate to relevant entities...ref, 91 kid, dad, team etc.,

Is it? Not sure that’s just punishment enough

So much for igloo. Big thump on that showing. Rebels lost to teams we would expect them to lose to and beat teams we would expect them to beat like igloo and shore 2 shore. Why was shore 2 shore in this bracket???? Moose only 3-2 over Rebels is surprising. Venom would need to be having a bad day and other teams will need their best game to beat them.

When you saw “we” who exactly are you referring to?

My guess is the “we” is the Rebels parents.

I give credit to S2S, they signed up to play, good for them.

I seen kids standing for faceoffs. That was pretty cool looking like college kids.

Like it or not that will be the rule moving forward. Wonder if the Legacy dad likes it?

Wait so it isn't a rule? So why did they do it. Just curious

Legacy face off dad, why don’t you just call the tournament organizers and ask.

Not apart of legacy 91 dad just asking a question for information but I guess you get so defensive over 10 year old sports.

who was louder... legacy dad or 91 dad?

If it's a rule cool if it's not rule cool don't make it break my day 91 fan

Most impressive pick up from weekend. Rebels Mom's reputation no longer crazy, actually some really nice parents! Moose vs them was a fun game to watch could have went either way, just excited to be back out on the fields able to watch our kids play

Legacy face off dad, why don’t you just call the tournament organizers and ask.

Unclear if it was a rule for this tournament or not, but typically NCAA rules work there way down in a year. The kids that do it train that way.

Thank you for the explanation was that hard 91 fanatic

Makes no sense for one game to have to do it but others in same tournament not have to do it.

everyone is SO EXCITED to be back on the fields... where were you for the past 12 months? Everyone else has been doing tons of play-days and tournaments.

This last comment makes no sense

It makes no sense why all of the tournaments wouldn’t be stand up neutral grip. Everything is going that way, no point delaying.

This comment makes no sense high school stil knee down is allowed so why would 10 year olds go to neutral grip before them also the Rules on Blant tourney website says nothing about neutral grip something don't seem write. https://www.blatantevents.com/spring-jam-rules

Most states have already gone SNG in HS. Including MD, PA, NJ, not sure why you would want to delay the inevitable.

By your logic the HS game should change because the colleges are already SNG. Keep practicing knee down moto though and see how that works out for you when you see teams who only go SNG for an extra year.

hey legacy face off dad, you're a disgrace. what you did was awful. these kids are 10/11 years old. take it easy. you totally embarrassed yourself. i hope we never see you again, you are everything youth sports doesn't need. i know you're on here and i hope you read this. support the kids and game, in the big picture, that game means nothing

It says nothing about most rules, does that mean they don’t exist? Aren’t the NCAA rules the default anyway?

If they weee Chan if the faceoff rule everyone would have done it and it would have been explained in the rules. Your reaching that's a big rule I think all clubs would have know about it and all refs would have done it if it was a rule.

daddy was calling the opponents fogo all sorts of names and cursing and i guess he has a history with the ref because he came right over and tossed the donk off the sideline and daddy had to stand alone in the parking lot and watch from there

Got it, yelling at opposing (or any) player is like sideline parent conduct rule #1.

Out of curiosity, what rule book would it be if it were not NCAA? Honestly I don’t really care, but the rules seem like something we should all be able to agree on. The entire mid Atlantic and all of college is on the same page and again it’s inevitable so why hold out?

I agree with you. It’s confusing for both the players and parents.
I guess it’s safe to assume that each tournament and each field is different. Obviously college is all standing neutral grip, what is happening at the HS level?

Tournaments this spring and summer especially ones south of LI will be probably be standing neutral grip.

In MD and DE, I haven't seen a knee down since the fall and even then it was 5/50. A couple kids tried it in early spring and were told to get up. HS is SNG. Don't know about other states, we haven't left MD/DE since last year. Hopefully that will end soon, kind of tired of playing the same teams over and over. LI Express came down and played early in the spring, good on them.

Wonderful we got opinions on sng but that doesn't explain why it was only enforced in one game in the entire tournament!!! And no they are not enforcing it for tournaments at this age.

Ask the tourney director

No it was the ref not the director.

Believe the conversation was about the abusive dad. The rule should have been consistent, yes, but had absolutely 0 bearing in that game or any other.

To say it has 0 bearing on the game you know in your heart that not true but it over with so let focus on the positive .

what is the next tournament teams are attending?

NLF is june 5/6. i know express, 91, and laxachusetts will be there

SNG should be an option not a requirement! The inconsistency of rules is very wrong. Seen it out of ny too! If not forced in HS why should 11yos be restricted. See the legacy dad’s frustration as it changes the game albeit it was a very poor way to handle it. I believe he knew his kid beats Venom FO head to head but not with SNG….should have pulled the team if the rules were not being followed.

Originally Posted by Anonymous

False

They changed the rule after the second FO.

Very true .. Plus 91 is bring kids from other 91 teams just like the qualifiers desperate .

"They changed the rule after the second FO."

Did they "change" it or enforce the rules as laid out in their rulebook which the official seemed to reference?

There was no rule.

Legacy FOGO is the dominant FOGO in the grade. Fact

NOT LAST SATURDAY

[quote=Anonymous]Legacy FOGO is the dominant FOGO in the grade. Fact[/quote
Those 2 kids have played against each other before (very recent in fact), someone should get their facts straight-they are both good. Why don't we all just let them compete, be friends and make each other better for the next 7 years

Then he should be able to adjust to SNG. FACT is all these club level kids train with FO specialist, if he or anyone isn’t prepared for SNG then they’re setting themselves up to fail.

Any attempt to see the legacy dad point of view is pathetic. He not only embarrassed himself he embarrassed his son, his family and the entire legacy program. I can’t imagine Mr Zummo and his coaching staff are very pleased with all the negative attention.

Also, pulled them off the field? Really, you should be embarrassed for even saying that!!!!

Why not pull them from the field?! There are tourneys in LI every weekend. While I don’t agree with storming the field or speaking ill to another persons kid, parents have right to pull their kid and coach’s have the right to pull their team if treated unfairly! You should be embarrassed for not putting your kid/team’s best interest first!
Both kids are very talented and will continue to face each other but until the notIntelligent rule trickles down let the best team use their best strategy!

Did I see that right? The igloo polar caps won their bracket. I would have thought the surge team coming out of that bracket, major upset. Congrats caps

You mean the igloo Northman? Didn’t look like polar caps to me......

Congrats Caps! Wasn’t there another tourney today too…I don’t see it on tourney machine.

Congrats to igloo NORTHMAN great job winning the JC17

You sound like a bitter surge parent who got beaten by the POLAR CAPS. I get it, you thought you were winning that tournament. Was this not the same team you played at blatant?

Was it the Northman brought down to play? Or the 2027? Either way bush league. Would not want to be part of an organization that does that to win a tourny. What about the kids on the team who have been there all year working? Don’t get to play so they can say they won? Don’t want to be a part of that at all igloo.

Relax polar cap dad. These are facts. Not a surge dad. Is your goalie a 2027? Did you not bring Northman players? I am not bitter. Just factual bush league nonsense from a respected organization.

If that’s true that’s terrible

Truth
No ones bitter at all. Just don’t come on here chirping about winning a tournament when you’re team/orginazation is engaging in shady tactics to do so.

so why now after all the games and tournaments that the polar caps have played in? why cheat now? it doesn't make sense. i hope the parents on the caps didn't mind. was it worth it?

Like you organization did last week at the Blanton. 91 pulled a lot of tactics last week.

Personally no issue with clubs bringing “a” players to “b” team to play. They aren’t bringing the top kids in most cases. There is no rule against it, and it’s good for those kids paying their share to get more experience and run. It’s a club- not a team. Just my opinion.
The 2027 goalie thing is complete BS if true

91 parents shouldn't be on here complaining

Battle of the B team parents. If Surge parents are that desperate for an elusive tourney victory, maybe they should just stick to town tournaments. It will be a long summer in 91 land, with no upside at all. Good luck hoping to join Venom, where the only ones who play consistently are the Coaches kids, and they play on your dime. Next time grab a clipboard and whistle to make sure Jr. gets on the field.

What were the "tactics" 91 pulled last week?

Here is a list of teams with parent coaches:
91,Legacy, Express, Rush, Moose and Igloo.
I’m sure others that I didn’t mention have as well.

You guys keep fighting over some mediocre lacrosse—- there’s a handful of Maryland teams that will beat the brakes off every single one of the LI/NY teams. Just sayin

LOVE when this gets brought up! Those Maryland handfuls, with their parents who held their kids back before Kindergarten and 6th grade...it all evens out though when their 16 year old freshman has to go up against the 20 year old senior at varsity practice.

Acknowledged. Good for you. Enjoy your middle school superiority.

Go back to the 2028 mid-Atlantic thread where the locals are fighting about what club has the most 12 year olds. As of now it seems like Hawks are first, Madlax 2nd and Crabs are in 3rd in the oldest kids per roster category.

You made me do some research and here is what I found.

Age based tournament aka the World Series 5/5 champions from LI.

NLF AA championships: not aged based
LI 8 championships
Mid Atlantic 4 championships
Mass 2 championships
Midwest: 1 championship
West coast: 1 championship

Thanks for playing.

Due to Covid, 2028 has a very small sample size of teams playing different geographies. From the VERY small sample, the post about MD teams is accurate until it gets settled on the field in the summer season. This age group could also be one where a non-hotbed team (Texas, FL, CO etc) with a great coach and some athletes could make a run at the bigger tournaments. Those areas in particular did not have a lost year like the Northeast and could surprise. July NLF in Mass will set the stage for the age group and the field of teams will have every geography represented. Also a very small chance the WSYL survives long enough for 2028.

Seriously, if they are playing the coaches kids on Venom then the coaches kids are very talented because they are heads and shoulders above the other LI clubs at this point. Let’s see who can match them this summer.

Venom has the best goalie and the best faceoff kid not sure if they are the coaches kids

When your kid has been playing travel for a few years you tend to notice players

who would win if moose played legacy?

Legacy has edge at faceoff so my opinion would be Legacy would win.

Who won?

Hi there- I was informed there was a discussion about my son...this is the Mom of the Rebels goalie- I would appreciate if you all not discuss him specifically on this message board- He loves his Rebels coaches & the boys on the team- They are truly GREAT coaches! He is 11 years old- having fun playing a sport he enjoys....and for the record, he doesn’t have a Dad, so no “Rebels goalie Dad” is saying or has ever said he’s the best...wishing you all a great season! Enjoy

I hope your son is going places at age 11...lmao- wishing great things for you

Well said “mom of Rebels goalie”.

Agreed if they let kids do the style they prefer. Coaches need to step in and back their kids to allow them to choose what they prefer and play!

There is some truth there…everyone who plays in this position knows who’s who in the zoo!

Who is in this weekend?

express has a team in the 2028?

What are some of the best 2028 teams in mid atlantic this year (AA&A)? I wanted to try and watch a 2028 game or two (AA if possible) to get an idea of how good some of the best 28 teams and players are. My son is a 28 but has only played up since he was 7. Thanks!

Express finally comes out from hiding in out-of-state tournaments this weekend.

any predictions for both tournaments this weekend?

91 wins their tournament because it's their tournament, turtles win FLG tournament and Rush wins summer showdown because no one else is in that tournament.

No. They will not use the app to update any games on tourney day. My daughter just participated in a tourney they ran. It’s very annoying. You have to keep checking their website.

I’m looking forward to the battle of the bad moms. Turtles vs rebels. Let’s see who wins the prize for worst parents on Long Island.

Rush is playing in tinton falls nj in the summer face off

"I’m looking forward to the battle of the bad moms. Turtles vs rebels. Let’s see who wins the prize for worst parents on Long Island."

A few years back the Rebels Moms, not players or fathers, were a poorly behaved and obnoxious group game in and game out deserving of all the criticism directed at them. That being said, having recently played them and saw them throughout the day at a tournament they seemed fine. Perhaps they got the message, matured or maybe the core that was so obnoxious now grace the Turtles sidelines. That matchup will garner much interest!

Oh no way, the one Rebel mom that even the other moms try to avoid wins this like a Maryland double holdback. Sidelines and game plan are the same for Rebels.. One mom and one player to dominate them all!

Oh wow. Now I see why turtles stay in their shell. If they can’t beat the rebels. For sure they ain’t Beating any of the other top teams. Maybe B bracket tourneys are in their future.

Turtles finally gets out of their shell, they begin to cross the road but watch out it a rebels mom wearing a trucker hat…. Splat

Rebels won 5-1 could of been 9-1turtle goalie played well, but not close to rebel goalie. Turtles have couple good players but not close to Rebels now. It’s early but maybe turtles go into hibernation

Seems like you have way more to worry about than 1 player on the other team - you guys scored 1 goal. What was that clear you were running? “Goalie take the ball and run up the field” - how much do you pay for that elite level of coaching? Maybe go back in your shell and clean house of that wreckage we saw yesterday before you come on here and start spewing the same old drivel. Move on, the Rebels definitely have.

Sounds like one heck of a pillow fight.

Guess we know who posts on this rag board.

What’s the NLF update? How were the games?

Seems like you have way more to worry about than 1 player on the other team - you guys scored 1 goal. What was that clear you were running? “Goalie take the ball and run up the field” - how much do you pay for that elite level of coaching? Maybe go back in your shell and clean house of that wreckage we saw yesterday before you come on here and start spewing the same old drivel. Move on, the Rebels definitely have.[/quote]

Ya sure you have moved on?

Congratulations to Rebels you are the best of the B teams

Rebel / Turtles conversation can finally end. Not even in the same class. Rebels have the best coaching around.

Best B team for the time being

Turtles beat Rebs last year. Should have been classy and leave it alone. Unfortunately a small few had to keep chipping how mush better they were. While Rebs just practiced and worked as a team. Coaching staff is 2nd to none. Put in tons of time, and ultimate team play. Top 5 are now, in no order to be determined with rest of summer. Moose 91 express Rebs iglioo/ then big drop off.

I think the rebel parents are getting a little ahead of themselves…. (As usual) You beat the turtles who just had to have another coach step in because their coach left and igloo, who hasn’t really been in the top talk since their top players left for Express. Adjustments can be made, but right now 91 is the team to beat and the next tier on Long Island is Express, Legacy, Mooselax, Rebels and Rush, after them atm would be Igloo and Turtles, Surge is no longer claiming to be anywhere near the above.

You're right, nobody should care, but Turtle Mom with the potty mouth didn't get the memo.

From this post it doesn’t seem like you’ve moved on. And to say wreckage? Perhaps counseling for all the anger being spewed over 5th grade lax?

This parent is still drunk on the win

What happened to igloo northmen? They looked to be on the way up last year. Now, not so much

i thought this was pretty well thought out until you brought up Surge.

Adults ranking 5th grade lax. Some of you need to get a life; find a girlfriend, buy a boat, something.

Turtle Mom finally gets tossed. So many issues there - I feel bad for her child.

According to the stats on lilaxjournal there are 2 Rebels players that can score

Pathetic comments all over this thread. Kids played hard all weekend and congrats to the Rebels. All the BS is obviously being posted by people trying to stir the pot. Keep ranking your 10/11 year olds if that makes you feel better about yourselves.

Someone watched this game very closely... I wonder which team this parent is involved with? Moved on huh? Says the person who comes on a message board to critique the 10 year old's clear of the ball. lmao Congrats to which ever parent on the Rebels this is. The kids played very well.

Would add legacy and rush and drop Igloo for A team on island now. It will change as time goes on. It’s a very talented age group.

Agreed. This group has the talent spread out. Top teams could change from tourney to tourney.

Enough about the Rebel/Turtle BS... Any info on who is playing this weekend?

seriously who cares about the rebel/turtle love affair. no one cares, and it doesn't matter. lets move on. moose is playing at lehigh lax fest and legacy/express/igloo are playing at the nal. who's signed up for lax fest the following weekend?

Long Ireland? Teams? Anyone know who is in?

A bunch of teams

i'm curious to see how the long island teams do in the nal this weekend. go represent.

Looks like Rush should roll through the Long Ireland this weekend...

Anyone know about the brackets for the Long Ireland? Are they separated by ability or just mixed together. We are a newer team and not really sure how this is set up. Thanks in advance.

What’s the name of your team?

BLC.

Anyone know how to get results from ireland tournament? Tourney app not posting scores??

Rush 3-0
BTB 2-1
GC 1-2
Express B 0-3

Rebels 3-0

Its now clear, the top 2 teams on Long Island are Venom and Lumberjax.

It was always clear, venom 1, legacy 2, moosepress 3/4, rush 5

Moose and Rush both better than express. Express has lost as many games as they have won in their 17 tournaments.

It's a great way to get everyone involved: enter as many tournaments as you can and coach the whole team up, the kids all grow together as 1 group. You'd have a hard time getting other club's 2 teams together. This staff makes everyone better, probably why he's Coaching in another County Semi on Monday.

Rebels are doing it right. Playing every weekend. Hydra is pretty much top kids then Red Wolves all play. Fantastic staff and unbelievable amount of time put in year round.

A team was there. Maybe they allow the B kids to play more in B tournaments? Or they pretend to be B team to win B tournaments?

Is the Team United that played in NAL this weekend the same team that’s signed up to play in tristar next weekend?

If they brought their A kids their coach totally should have had them play Rush, BTB and GC

The only team that was worse than igloo northmen this weekend was prime time. Did kids leave igloo for other teams? They looked better last year.

It was their first time playing with the 2nd team (or group). I am sure they will play against better competition going forward with their 2nd group, but they have a lot of talent, they probably didn’t know how it would go with 2nd team. Now they do.

Lol someone here just hates the Rebels. Just beat turtles 2x by a combine 10-1 or something and beat rush every time the play, enough with the rankings and just let the kids play and get better.

Who’s be the best?

A group of good kids brought together to play for the tournament, highlighted by the smithtown/turtles attack

Not to pile on, I understand that rebels want to give their B kids a chance at playing time. But if they’re signing up for B brackets just tell the A kids to stay home. It’s that simple.

Is there a team where skill counts more than poltics. Looking for one.

Turtles not even top 8- they are pretty much done

Lumberjax kind of got beat up today in PA by Madlax....hope you guys don't encounter the Hawks anytime soon, clearly the best team in 2028.

They lost by 3. “Beat up”??

How can you put Rush and Turtles ahead of the Rebels???
Rebels 2nd team can beat both of them!

Yes if I was a B team parent and an A kid played instead of mine that would not sit well with me

I think we can all agree that nobody likes the Rebels

Originally Posted by Anonymous

Then what does that make igloo

How does Madlax compare to 91 venom and 2 way?

Why aren’t Rush and Venom in same bracket? Gc rams have no business in that bracket. Dragons either. Does 91 run this tournament too?

Enough with “2nd team talk”. The A players all were there this weekend, on the field

it'll probably a rush vs venom final

Originally Posted by Anonymous

Ya totally agree. How dare the 10/11 year olds lose to a good team? As a matter of fact i truly feel all players on any team other than ranked in the top 3 by You should really explore other sports. I mean these kids really think they have chance in life if they cant play on a top team in 5th grade. Its all fun to rank teams but to complain about who plays on and A or B team and then trash 10 year olds is pathetic and you need to get a life.

There are over 20 teams and should be fun competition. Every tournament doesn’t have to be to the death

They lost by 3. “Beat up”??

How were the face offs taken? SNG or knee down ??

Yes Venom vs GC 2028 should be an awesome game.

in the big picture this stuff doesn't matter. kids are playing and having fun. its the parents that cause this to get out of control. rankings doesn't matter, parents want competitive games

Does Venom still have a 2024 team?

Originally Posted by Anonymous

They are playing in MD next week then NLF. I think they will be ok

Unofficial (of course) 2028 rankings from the MD board.

Madlax rolled everyone at NAL. For the record, Madlax had been beat 3 times by the Hawks this year, last one soundly in the HOCO league championship.

1. Hawks
2. Team 91 Venom
3. Madlax
4. Legacy
5. Express North
6. BBL
7. FCA
8. Next Level
9. True Annapolis
10. Freedom

Have fun!

Sometimes coaches are the worst.

Is this express north team in the tristar tournament?

Those rankings are extremely flawed. 2 Way is the best team in the Northeast. You may have it right south of Jersey, but not North. BBL should not be in the conversation, ditto for Express North.

Yeah playing in 91 run tournaments.

2 way not on the list shows how biased towards Maryland that list is. 6/10 from the Maryland area.. 2 from Long Island, right now on Long Island Venom has beat everyone they’ve faced, but haven’t seen much, Legacy showed well at NAL, after the recent results the other teams that seem to have the chance to prove they are at the top level are express, Mooselax, Rebels and Rush. Igloo and Turtles (beat Igloo bad) seem just below with a chance to show well with no other team really close after them.

You have to wonder if it will fair well for 91 in the end (NLF championship) by being careful with what they join and who they play and not going into the most competitive tournaments like other teams, looking for tough competition at every tournament. For example look at their current schedule, they play Mountain Valley (b), forest hill (?), gc (strong town team) and ct wolves (maybe the 4th best ct team). Chances are their toughest game will be a town team

I’d say 91 was tested at the blatant tournament, beating the Thunder first game and then beating Legacy right after, and shutting down moose in the finals. Plus going to Maryland next weekend will certainly help. What’s with that coaches comment?

Too bad tri star fell on the same weekend as lax fest

looks like tri star was set up to have 2way vs legacy in the finals

Tristar looks like a very tough AA bracket, kudos to whoever wins it, my assumption is the final four will be legacy, express north, 2 way and BBL

Has 2way and venom played this season?

Yea venom lost

i think they had a playdate last summer/fall

Venom beat them the last tournament they were in together

The last time they played 91 dad you guys lost

whenever venom or 2way wins people claim 2027’s played. Sour grapes. We could have won but....

2Way is a great team. They are 2-1 against Venom. But they at least should not wear their '27 shirts to the game. Not really sour grapes when you are a 2027 playing vs 2028's

Rebels B team is traveling far this weekend. Could have just played in tristar

where are they going?

Yes, Venom and Two Way are the best in NE. A bunch of pretty good teams after that. Legacy, Rush, Moose, EXP N perhaps, BBL...

Not sure what Rush has proved yet. Someone fill me in?

Who did Mooselax play last night?

Venom is in 2027 division at Lax Fest

Rush lost to moose by 1.

Just remember before you post your comments after this weekend of games that these players are only 10 and 11 years old. It doesnt matter if they are AA or A. Rankings dont matter, or does FOGO percentage, goals, assists or groundballs. These kids play for fun and we still have to work on Monday to provide these kids with the travel lacrosse and training for a game they loveto play. Lets act mature and keep it classy. Happy Fathers Day!

Express showed up today

Yes they did. Legacy let down today. They struggled with the turtles to start then got it going. Turtles looked confused not sure what’s happening there. Goalie and faceoff kid for turtles looked good though. Thought legacy would fair better against both express teams. Both express teams have talent and we’re coached well.
Only saw records of teams over at Susa but clearly 2way is top dog. My bet is 2way over express north tomorrow.

This is the goalie parents of turtles they kid gave up football numbers.

Turltles let up 31 goals today I don't think the goalie dad should be talking.

Express moose and Rebels down south good day . Legacy ok turtles real bad( they are done)

No turtles or goalie dad. Just my opinion.

Definitely a Rebels post

“Looks like the top 6 HoCo teams held serve today — going 13-1 across a few different tournaments with Madlax off until mid-week. Not much in the way of strong competition though.

Up north, looks like all the 2way people are right and that team is among the top tier of teams. Express North also had a nice day. BBL had a pretty good showing and so did Long Island Express. Legacy did not stay hot following the NAL final appearance. So I’m going to revise my bored MD dad rankings to:

1. Hawks
2. 2Way
3. Madlax
4. 91 Venom (difficult to tell where they go since they haven’t played many strong 28 teams yet this summer; playing in a 27 bracket at LaxFest and lost some games but 27 games are tough to compare)
5. Express North
6. BBL
7. Legacy
8. FCA MD
9. Next Level
10. Freedom (PA)
11. True Annapolis
12. Long Island Express
13. Crabs
14. Mooselax
15. Eclipse

Watchlist: 4 Leaf Army, Rebels, LI Rush”

This is what’s being said on the mid Atlantic 2028 thread

did bbl really beat 2way yesterday? i certainly did not see that coming. what happened? is bbl for real?

Originally Posted by Anonymous

Wow, BBL lost to 2w by 5 goals on Saturday and crushes 2w 11-4 in the championship!

Was it the same rosters for both days?

If so, clearly coaching played a huge role in the outcome.

Legacy too high or Moose too low (relative to each other anyway based on yesterday's outcome with Moose over Legacy by a few).

This weekend has Rebels “b” (with all their A guys again?), Igloo, GC and Surge going head to head. Garden City looks to have done pretty well last weekend, Surge appeared to struggle in a B bracket, Rebels did well last weekend (lost 2 times to one of the better Maryland teams) and Igloo has seems to have been struggling lately and if they lose out it’ll be rough for them to try and draw new talent in.

Right now from what it seems

91 will be drawing top talent from Long Island
Express will be drawing top kids from Nassau
Legacy will be drawing top kids from Suffolk
Moose/Rebels will be drawing top kids from the north shore
Rush will be drawing top kids from Suffolk south shore

turtles and igloo have been struggling and if they don’t improve in the next month I’m certain some of their top kids will be moving.

Who knows though, some new agreements can be made and big moves could happen. I wish all the kids the best luck in this next month and beg the parents to care more about coaching and improvement instead of the number of TShirts their kid gets

Also comes down on price tag for the club . Turtles prob the lowest and mostly its central to get too and from anywhere on Suffolk. But who knows clubs will increase prices once again like every year . More than cost of living wage . Keep paying more and more for some horrible product. Or A,B,C team.

All of this seems fair although I don’t know who Rush has played recently to impress just yet.

I’m stating that they mostly going to be getting the best of the talent from Bayshore to Bluepoint, a few will head to 91/Legacy . They are a strong team with great coaching, They joined Laxfest with the intention to play 91, but they moved up when the schedules came out. This is all in general

Looks like Rebels 2nd group made adjustment and is playing in the top bracket now, better for everyone.

if they're bringing everyone, they should play better comp.

Who’s in charge of scheduling tournaments for Surge? Reminds me of S2S. They haven’t been able to win in a B bracket so bring them on to play A’s? I guess there’ll be a mass exodus there come next season. It’ll give new kids the opportunity to fill 91 coffers.

Still B teams expect for igloo. Whatever, they should just be honest that it’s their A team playing

Blatant is a Rebels event. It’s set up for them.

Looks like Next level is the only competition for 91 venom out in Maryland

Rebels basically play top kids in Hydra, then all kids, with those that do not get time with hydra playing more. Staff committed to doing 8/9 tourneys so all can see the field. I think it’s great idea. Say what you want, but team loves it and coaches are awesome, and dedicated. I do believe they will have 2 separate teams next season.

All teams make playoffs so how is it set up for Rebels. Please explain. If anything they are the opposite. My lax tourney s not that’s a different story.

Says the hydra parents who’s kid gets to play. The red wolves kids don’t play as much as they should. Good for rebels for finding out a way to make more money. Atta boy rebels.

25 Kids on Rebels
4 Paid Coaches
14 Tourneys all year
60 Practices
Maybe you failed Math, But that does not sound like a money making Machine
Other organizations charge more have less coaches and tourneys
I get it The Turtles are history, you need to move on

Not that it affects my life one bit, but trying to get playing time for 25 kids is impossible. Too many. They should be better is they practice 60x throughout the year. just saying. Maybe in time...

turtles and igloo have been struggling and if they don’t improve in the next month I’m certain some of their top kids will be moving.

Who knows though, some new agreements can be made and big moves could happen. I wish all the kids the best luck in this next month and beg the parents to care more about coaching and improvement instead of the number of TShirts their kid gets

Coaching is very important when it come to choosing a new team, especially for a B or 2nd team. Can someone please give approximate club tuition prices for all teams and what they get for their money.

Looks like Mooselax gets a shot at the #1 Annapolis Hawks at Naptown on Monday

Go moose!

Yeah- that’s a B league tourney. If you wanted to play real teams, they should have been in Naptown. I wish my sons team had played in Naptown.

Per tourney machine, Moose lax went down to MD and took some Ls, including a rough one against the Annapolis Hawks (who are very good I hear).

They lost by 1 to a good 3d Gulf Coast team filled with talent and got hammered by the Hawks.

Nobody from LI has come close to Hawks. Next Level went 2-6 in Hoco. Beat your chest that you avenged a loss against a sub .500 team and then have the boys hit the wall!

I am not overly impressed with the Naptown 2028 bracket.

Not better than the Rebels they played Sunday I am assuming. Saturday they beat them but Sunday they lost. Seems they could be close.

which teams are playing in the mid summer shootout?

Hawks win Naptown down in Maryland.

Who’s their next best competition up here?

2way? 91?

Who cares, go back to the Maryland forum

They don’t have as many as you probably think. Get over it every team has holdbacks. Wait till you get to 7th 8th grade it only gets worse.

IDK for sure but I doubt it’s as many as you may think. Talking holdbacks specifically. The fall 2009s are on age.

I’m just having a little fun I actually could careless how old kids are, as long at they’re currently going into 6th grade it’s all good from my perspective . We all know hawks are legit. As you probably already know 2way and 91 are very good teams in the area. I wouldn’t sleep on Laxachusetts, eclipse, express and express N. Maybe they’re not the same level as Hawks or Madlax or maybe they are. Only time will tell when they all end up playing one an other. Enjoy the rest of the summer season and best of luck.

From the MD forum- unofficial 2028 rankings

Bored MD dad here. I don’t know if Naptown really shakes them up enough to warrant a new run of the the rankings. But here are my thoughts. Obviously, the Hawks continued to show that they were #1. FCA showed a little more weakness than expected, but the unexpected losses were to two national teams which are hard to gauge since their rosters can change so much week to week. Mooselax is maybe a little weaker than we thought. I don’t think we’ll have many good matchups prior to NLF other than potentially a Next Level v. Madlax game at Hershey, Madlax vs. Nationals at Platinum Cup, and the several northern teams playing in the Prime Time Tournament in Connecticut.

Tier 1
1. Hawks

Tier 2
2. Madlax - consistently strong results in HoCo and this summer against everyone but the Hawks. Have beaten all the HOCo teams other than Hawks, plus BBL, Express North, Legacy, and an underrated Mad Dog West team. No one other than Hawks can match that resume of wins.

Tier 3

3. 2way
4. Team 91 - could be in either order with 2way.
5. Next Level - really hard to rank NL. Such divergent results. Several strong wins this summer - Team 91, Freedom, etc. - and made the finals of three straight tournaments with pretty good fields. But what happened to them in HoCo? And should we consider at all the wins over Hawks and Madlax from the fall? I could definitely see a good argument they should be lower. Potential matchup with Madlax at Hershey could be interesting.
6. BBL - Very strong schedule this summer and lots of good wins. Probably more good wins than the three in this tier above them. But seem to struggle a little with the very best teams - losses to Madlax, Team 91, split with 2way.
7. FCA - Weird to have them below NL given that they beat NL twice, the last time in a blow out in HoCo. But this summer they haven’t really had many big wins. Long Island Express win at NAL might be their best win this summer? But I could see having them ahead of NL given the head to head record.
8. Express North - solid wins, maybe lack consistency.

(If we were including national teams, I’d include Mad Dog National and Nationals in this tier somewhere, but since the rosters seem to vary tournament to tournament not sure it makes sense to include them.)

Tier 4 - Slightly below the Tier 3 teams; way below Hawks and Madlax.

9. Freedom - Strong summer schedule, some solid wins, but losses to Next Level in 2 of 3, BBL, and Hawks.
10. True Annapolis - Haven’t played a ton this summer in terms of top teams. Some good results at NAL and a one goal game with Hawks. Beat NL in HoCo. Going to overlook the Blue Claws loss as an outlier.
11. Long Island Express - played a lot this summer. A lot of good wins and a lot of losses. Very inconsistent team, but one team I think others would want to avoid in the early rounds of tournaments because they have the athletes to be really good at some point.

Tier 5 - Reason to believe they are good, but something missing in their resume in terms of wins against top competition to put in one of the above tiers.

Crabs (other than the two wins against True, have there been any wins against top competition?), Mooselax, Legacy, Laxachusetts, 3D NE, 4 Leaf Army, Mad Dog West, 3D Gulf Coast.

Sad to see not many LI teams in top tiers. World Series dreams dimming

I’ll translate, big bad hawks 2026 were “missing players” at the World Series. 2025 Hawks nowhere to be found! All your rankings are meaningless and a waste of time. Can’t wait to play those 12 year olds later this summer and have you write up how good the hawks are and how bad LI lax is.

Boo Hoo, isn’t this a 2028 board?

If those kids are really 12 already that’s terrible

It’s official Legacy and Rush have merged at the 2025 level. I would personally love to see this happen at our kids age group, a little consolidation would help us overall in the big tournaments, and this would certainly draw even more top talent. In my head they’d have to make a AA, A, B east and B west.

The best 2/3 attack & defenders plus new talent possibly

The best middies between the 2 plus possible new talent

Both have very strong goalies

If they could collaborate that team would be very strong and with lots of practice they could certainly compete with any team at this age (even with the older kids playing at this grade level)

Are you saying that between rush and legacy they have the best 2/3 attackman defenseman and middies on LI?

No I think he’s saying if you took the best few from both teams they would be an excellent team

Can’t that be said for any 2- top 10 teams. Now we have to combine teams to compete?? And parents want that?? What about the 12 friends on your kids team that are gonna get cut?

If you are talking feels than sure you care about your kids friends being cut but if your looking to make or be on the best team than you can’t care about his friends. Depends on what you are looking for.

At this age many still wanna play with their friends and that is normal. Some parents get caught up in winning he top bracket at a tournament. The truth is the most important thing at this age is skill development and having fun. The major benefit to being on a top team if your kid is that good is to be challenged in practice. Some may play town travel with friends and we will see many start to leave for different clubs over the next few years. There is no right or wrong just what works best for your situation.

It looks like we have a good weekend and everyone is playing. 91, Moose, Rebels, Rush and a California team in Blatant and express, laxachussetts, igloo, BBL, Legacy, express north and more in CT.

I'd say he did. Without cheating and playing him, LI would not have gotten their precious WSYL win. When the 2028 turn comes, be sure to stay in contact with any good players that move over the next few years so you can add them to the roster.

The boy in question was part of the LI 91 program from 2nd grade. He lived in seafood, his family moved to TX post what would have been the 2020 World Series. If it wasn’t for covid he would have played last summer before he moved south. The parents asked for a special waiver and they were granted approval.

2028 please. with.

Do any of the NY/Conn/Jersey teams have holdbacks? Are they all 100% on age? Not asking to troll at all - I’m just unaware.

They all do, it’s just more prevalent in areas such as Maryland / DC area and Mass. My best guess is most of the NY/LI 2028’s are born in 2010 not 2009.

Most good teams on LI have a number of fall '09 birthday kids and maybe 1 or 2 summer '09 birthday kids (holdback). That number will grow higher with probably another 1-2 repeat freshman in hs years...

The #1 Player in the country from St. Anthony’s is older than most College kids and the #1 player in Suffolk County will be going back for his Sr. year in HS when most kids his age will be packing bags for their Freshman year in college. So, the answer is YES, and it’s sad that it is promoted by some of the most influential people in the sport.

This is true but many of the current 2028 teams do not have ANY kids born before October 2009

My son’s competitive team has zero born before October 2009. I personally don’t know of any on the Island. This is all anonymous are there any kids on Long Island playing 2028 born before October 2009? We all assume 2 way and Express north have a few

Are both Express north potash and express north weiser teams the A teams? Weiser got beat by a large margin today that’s why I’m asking.

NLF National Championship pool for 2028

Hawks
Denver Wlite
Madlax
Exlipse
Express
Express North
Laxachusetts
Prime Time
S2S
Sweetlax Upstate
Thunder
Team 91 Venom
Team 91 Surge

Give us your predictions!!

S2S and Surge? Didn’t surge just bail on Blatant ?

Pool 1 Madlax, easiest bracket

Pool 2 Hawks

Pool 3 Venom

laxachusetts has the best chance at getting in the 4th place with surge and S2S so long as they don’t get destroyed by Madlax

Hawks are the definite favorites to win it all

Is it true that Moose lost to 2nd Rebels team?

Yes they did

5-3 Moose with Minute 20 left
Rebs tie it and win in OT

Why is there a B team in the NLF National Championship.

Arrogance? Why not 2Way or 3D NE, or even another Maryland team

91 express legacy Rebels top 4 -,everyone else not close

[Here’s an updated set of the Bored MD dad rankings. I don’t think we’ve learned that much from the last week, but a little churn in the rankings. The big events in no particular order were.

1. Madlax loss to Next Level at Hershey. I don’t think a one goal loss to Next Level is enough to move Madlax down given the rest of their summer resume. Championships at NAL, Vail, and Platinum Cup. So I’d keep them at 2. But it will be interesting to see a Madlax vs Team 91 game at NLF if it happens.

2. NLF field released. NLF obviously is a strong field at the top with 3 of the top 4 teams in the rankings below, but it’s too bad we don’t get to see how teams like 2way and 3D New England would fare against the MD teams. Given the last couple of weeks, it also would be fun to have Next Level there to maximize potential chaos given their summer results. I know the issues with NLF membership, but we can still dream. Pool play at NLF doesn’t have a ton of compelling matchups so the more interesting games will come via the bracket. Should be a fun tournament.

3. 3D New England looking very strong at Primetime in Connecticut. They clearly seem to belong among the best and make a big jump in the rankings.

3. Legacy regained its form at Primetime. The LI teams are tough to sort. Team 91 seems like the top dog. Another good week against LI competition. But making sense of Legacy, Long Island Express, and Mooselax is hard. But just to be clear, LI definitely has a ton of talent and should field some top teams once the top talent sorts a little more.

4. Nationals seem like a strong team based on Platinum Cup and Naptown. If they had a more stable roster I’d probably have them around 7-8. But tough to rank them. Mad Dog National also seems like a player but tough to rank without a more stable roster.

Tier 1
1. Hawks

Tier 2
2. Madlax
3. 2way
4. Team 91
5. Next Level
6. 3D New England
7. BBL

Tier 3
8. FCA
9. Express North
10. Freedom
11. True Annapolis

Tier 4

Too hard to tell precise order of these good teams:

Legacy, Long Island Express, Mad Dog West, 3D Gulf Coast, Mooselax, Laxachusetts, Crabs. There are others that likely belong in this group.]

We need a bored LI dad as good as bored MD dad. This dude nails it every time.

NLF looks to be stacked with the best teams. Although s2s, surge and prime time have no business being there

Prime time gets the Annapolis Hawks in Game 1 at 8am. Welcome to the big show I guess.

who will be the top 4 to move on to the playoffs? 1 vs 4 , 2 vs 3. any predictions? hawks 1, madlax 2, 91 3, 4?

Pool 1 is a joke, surge and S2S are both mediocre b teams, pool 2 and 3 are much more competitive, with clear favorites. I don’t know anything about thunder but if they are decent they have a chance with the easiest schedule possible

"91 express legacy Rebels top 4 -,everyone else not close"

lol

91 is the best, no one is close after that. Rebels win was a total fluke if you watched the game. Their depleted opponent was far superior and they blew it and played an awful game in terms of shooting and penalties. Kudos to Rebels for capitalizing and seizing the moment, but any objective observer, which I am, knows this. 91 is a cut above the rest on LI. Rebels played their way into the conversation for 2nd tier by virtue of that win and Rush played their way out of the conversation by virtue of their weekend performance.

91, Legacy/Rush and Express will get stronger, all others will shuffle and get diluted. The brand matters. Put it in the bank.

Your bias is showing, Mr. objective observer. Mooselax was a “depleted opponent” and “far superior”? Really? Rebels had them both at faceoff and in Goal. As far as depleted, maybe they should look to sub once in a while so these far superior boys wont be so depleted - so sad to make excuses for 10-11 year old boys. Accept a loss and move on like all those boys did. No reason to come on hear to try to diminish a great comeback, Mr. 91 Lackey.

i think rebels are more like the 6th best team, not 4th. 91,legacy,express,moose,rush,and then the rebels. but who cares. These kids are 10/11 years old. enjoy the friendships that the kids and parents have with each other and worry less about rankings. good luck to all the long island teams this weekend

Brands do matter in our society however, they should not matter in 10/11 year old sports. The whole concept of ranking these teams and trying to justify winning or losing based on who was depleted is nonsense. 91 and Express are the biggest organizations and some people choose to pay more for their product. They are successful and have a track record to prove it. Does that mean that all the others should just fold up shop? No of course not. They all are in it to make money (bottom line). Keeping our kids active and off the video games or screens is probably the most important piece of all this. Having them build friendships and learn to win and lose with respect and dignity. Sports can teach life lessons and some cost more than others. If you pay attention at most youth lacrosse tournaments these kids are having more fun off the field than on it. I hope everyone enjoys just being with their kids and watching them grow and develop. Good luck to all the teams this weekend regardless of where someone wants to rank them.

Legacy gave themselves an absolute cake walk at the PLC. Especially in the 2028 division, avoid the big boys… Soft

Yea they made the schedule

I think you mean 91 scheduled Since they have been hiding all summer .?

Legacy's schedule at PLC Event is across the board the softest one
Pathetic
Legacy at 2028 plays 3d Colorado True Nat Green and Iron Horse92 Of these teams signed up in B)
Rebels play True Black BBL Maddog National. All AA Teams
This was none on Purpose they can look better, but they are not.

Tough schedule for Rebels

Predictions on movement for tryouts? Any big moves coming?

Sad that legacy schedule games against 2 B teams. TZ thinks that will help his club. He is the #1 snake oil salesman. This just proves it.

Enough with the whining Rebels parent/coach. You signed up for a national tournament and you got tough competition. Legacy has certainly played the toughest schedule for the Long Island teams this summer, I highly doubt they are begging for an easy schedule for a good seed, no matter where you get seeded you still need to play the best to win. And in all honesty, come on….. look at the 2 games Rebels scheduled themselves in their tournament this weekend. Get over yourself, you got a lucky win vs Moose

Lucky win, now that’s funny.,Rebels are good, and going to explode .Moose is a dead end.

Wait I thought this was a 91/ legacy fight...

Legacy did not have hard schedules this summer. Only when they made it to championship games and they haven’t been able to finish. Another chance this weekend.....

Did you mean explode or implode?

Amazing coaches. Great group of parents. Kids learning the game at a high level. Definitely a dead end for a 10 year old!

The 2028 Rebels are very well coached and their team battled til the last whistle. That's all you can ask of 10/11yr olds. Hats off to them, and to the Moose kids for battling all day as well. To say Moose is a dead end, is silly. 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 teams, an intro to travel 2031, an Academy Training program and a Goalie Academy hardly sounds like a dead end for any kid...in fact I would say it's in growth stages. Whoever made the comment about Moose being a dead end, hopefully your son is having a great experience wherever he is playing, but that's just nonsense. Enjoy the Summer!

Things we know know from this message board:

91 is the best but play weak competition
Legacy is very good as well but is dodging people this weekend
Express is a brand that will continue to get stronger but charges too much
Rebels only beat teams that are depleted and have parents all over this message board that praise their coaches
Mooselax is done according to our expert
Rush is a not on this level
Turtles may as well fold up shop
Igloo is a non factor at this age

Sorry if i missed anyone.

Pretty Funny...

91 is best on LI. Period.

Legacy is very good, no matter what their bracket or draw is they will compete and beat most.
Moose talent at the top of roster was 2nd only to 91, but not deep down the roster.

Express will continue to add and get better.

Igloo-trending down
Rush-status quo
Rebels/Turtles-status quo-they are what they are and from where they are and will draw NO new talent. Rebels goalie will eventually be plucked by an established brand.
S2S/Express B/Surge-Lot of work to do. S2S most upside but from a low base. Does anyone really aspire to an organization's B team?

See you next year...

Two NY teams and two Maryland teams in the 2028 semis.

You have no clue. Rebels are adding a number of top players. No one leaving. Just wait and see. Turtles I would say yes mass exodus coming.

Nice! Way to represent!

Hawks parent here - the win over 91 Venom was not easy. It took a lot to come out on top. Great team. Very well coached. Great families. Hope to play them a lot in the years ahead.

Huge tournament wins this weekend for Legacy and the Turtles, and a good showing at NLF for 91

3 game schedule may have been weak but they beat 2 good teams to become champs. Koodos to them.

Rebels oh my...

Not on A team in Bulldog Bash.

Venom only lost to a great team by 1.

Legacy beat BBL by 1 to get to championship game, then beat a decent true team by 1.

Rebels can’t beat quality teams although they only lost to BBL by 1. Which makes you wonder did BBL have a bad day today.
Otherwise the rebels are like the turtles are great B teams but not good A teams. Maybe they do need to combine again.

Next week Lake George should end season nicely

Rebels are fine, lost to BBL by one could go either way. Sometimes good teams play and only 1 can win.

Legacy gave themselves a cakewalk and gave Rebels 3 very tough games. Anyone that doesn’t see that hasn’t been around long enough.

Great families? Only if you're in their 'friends and family' plan: Coaches kids and friends of Coaches kids. Good luck at tryouts if you don't know someone, b/c all spots are already filled.

That's a notIntelligent comment. You're coming across very bitter by that post. i guarantee you they take on some new players. every team can use some depth.

I wish this wasn’t true. But you are correct. Except if your kid is a B player, not many good options out there. Can go to a different A team and then ride bench. Or can play on a very solid B team. If there are better options, please explain to a first time parent going thru this.

That wasn’t a legacy tournament. And Rebels would have had to beat good teams eventually. They proved they couldn’t. Face facts.

Madlax 28 parent here. I watched almost all of the last half of Hawks v Venom at NLF because they replayed the entire game after the lightening canceled the games ~halfway thru the evening before (that's what a Hawks parent told me). I'm not sure why they did that, if true. Madlax played 2-12 minute quarters vs Express North to finish the game which only cost us about 35 seconds on the clock at the same score and ball possession. Seems unfair to Hawks/Venom playing a full game at 7 am.....and TBH the Hawks seemed a little gassed in the finals vs us.

Venom is a slick team. Well coached and motivated, athletic kids. They didn't have the ball movement and time of possession the Hawks are known for, but they played tough and kept it close.

Really???
What’s the better option for a B team on Long Island.
I know no one wants to talk about a B team. But they are the top team on the island as far as B teams go. They already got a new head coach and a solid core. Will only be better this upcoming season.

Yeah yeah yeah, we heard in the beginning of this year how they were a top 5 team on Long Island, they might be top 5 B on Long Island atm. Surge has dropped out of any tournament with any semblance of A teams this summer. So far the B coaches have bailed or pretty much bailed on 91, Legacy and Turtles.

Surge will address the issues and will have a solid dedicated coach. Not going to beat the indoor training and they have a great core of kids and parents that will be back- most important

Look at plc schedules compare Rebels and legacy’s.TZ defiantly involved in schedules.

The main difference is is that Legacy has W’s and the Rebels didn’t vs good competition. Whine all you want, the scoreboard doesn’t lie

Many of these teams will undergo change

curious to see what the tryout numbers look like for some of these teams. I'm sure legacy,91, and express will have the most.

I found an interesting program starting up. Only going to carry a 2028 team(s). Will have two varsity coaches on their staff. I know a lot of great athletes heading that way. Will be better than most “A” and “B” teams in term of value.

You are talking about BTB, coming onto the scene as well for 28 will be GSB coached and owned by Connor Farrell

Yeah - BTB is going to be solid with a great coaching staff. No daddy ball and doing things the right way for families. Tryouts are this Thursday/Fridays for you guys who are looking for something better.

THIS IS THE SAME PERSON POSTING 3 STRAIGHT COMMENTS. PLEASE STOP, YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF

Please stop with the Surge bashing or promo garbage. They are a team for kids that still would like to play outside of PAL and get more run and could care less if they are a 91 brand or labled a B team. They know what they are and have no delusions of grandeur of competing with the best LI teams or any of their kids making an A team.

Directors are getting nervous about losing kids to coaches that can actually coach.

BTB?? GSB?? Never heard of them. Where are they based out of, practice wise? Any good?

BTB is going to based around the Plainedge area. I know they did good in the Long Ireland Tournament beat GC pretty good, Express A and competed with Rush. The team only had two practices under their belt.

Not sure of GSB

GSB will be based out of the Holbrook area

Is this out of line for what the bigger name LI clubs charge?

What do the clubs cost on LI?

Go to a place where there is no “a” team that will backfill and take your kids playing time at a tourney. Hitmen, True Blue, icon, 24 and Recon and Viper are examples. Go where your kid plays the game and will make him a better player.

Surge should drop the 91 name… doesn’t dynamic have the Ducks, and other brands they have shelved. Why play second fiddle to venom.

I agree Coach Dan is legit. Btb will be good.
(Coming from a parent of top AA team kid).

Gsb will draw lots of FO kids …will have to split that time.

Igloo tryouts? How many kids?

I dare everyone to list their club name and tuition price last year!

Gbs stands for? How do you get tryout info

My son starts on a AA team and trains with Dan on the side. I'm probably going to make the move to BTB. Tired of those excuses the directors make about coaches not showing up or practicing with two grades at once. Much rather help CREATE a name than chase a name.

How did the numbers and quality look for the Turtles and Igloo?

Exactly, just BTB trying to self-promote.

Only AA Clubs this age for now and future

91
Legacy
Express
Rebels
Maybe Moose

Please take the rebels off that list, thanks

So true, so obvious. Every age group thread is Rebels. All year a mention here and there. Now tryout week, they are all over the board.

The Rebels are legit and will be changeling the so called big boys. No doubt, be a hater or join the future # 1 program on Long Island.

Most Coaches are Dads but not all of these Dads are Coaches. You can tell when you watch the game if they favor their own kids - who is subbed in and out, and who the offense is centered on. 91 has a rep of ‘shortening the bench’ in big games. This just means they haven’t spent any time trying to Coach up the bottom half of their team so they don’t trust them in game situations. Usually the kids running every drill in practice while your kid watches are Daddy’s faves. Even better is the fact that most of these Coach’s kids don’t pay any tuition so the teams w/ large staffs are charging you to watch their kids get all the PT. Buyer beware: are they actually teaching your child? or, is he just a number on the roster who can and will be replaced?

Looks like some GC S2S kids moving to Igloo.

Looks like some igloo going to express

As of right now this is a big LOL. But in the future with this young group of directors and people involved they will be a force on Long Island for a very long time. I left the Rebels with my oldest son as it was just not the right fit for him, I would never do that with one of my younger guys. I think the three younger ages at the clinic yesterday had over 100 kids. The directors and coaches really care, they want to develop the youth of lacrosse. Of course they want to be the best, but they are also great role models for my kids to be around. Call them, talk to them, get to know who is running your program and who is coaching your son, and if they are doing it for all the wrong reason or the right ones.

Rebels have same culture as Outlaws did.

Correct, we have something good going so please stay away if you do not want that.

Please stop with the Rebels nonsense... If anyone is new to LI travel lacrosse, they are not an AA program, never have been and likely won't be at this age or others. 91 express, legacy are tops year in and year out across age groups. other programs may put together a good team from year to year at different age groups, as moose did this past year, but do they have staying power? Usually not. The strong get stronger. Let the mid tier shuffle begin...

Rebels the new kid in town. The new AA program. The one to get your son on now. They are exploding.

Of course they want to be the best, but they are also great role models for my kids to be around. Call them, talk to them, get to know who is running your program and who is coaching your son, and if they are doing it for all the wrong reason or the right ones.

Spot on. Rebels younger ages are some of the best around. Older ages pretty good too with 21/22 getting dozens of D1 commits, 23s really good.

Usually not. The strong get stronger. Let the mid tier shuffle begin...

All would agree that Legacy and Moose are also not in the AA category nor consistent at every age group.

Comedy gold 🤣 do you get paid to write this?

Wait watch and you’ll see. Some great players leaving so called top programs to come to Rebels. Why you ask? Because they do it all the right way.

BTB had solid numbers and talent at tryouts. This does not mean those top kids will decide to play there but last night was impressive.

Lets face it, on most of these travel teams the coach's kid is the best player or certainly in the top 5, that is why they are on the field. On all teams, the 18th kid is not nearly as good as the top kid. Most of the Dad's coaching, at the travel level anyway, are in that position because they have experience, understand the game and are pretty good. Sure there is an inherent bias and they give their kid every opportunity to succeed, but they are also usually the harshest on their own kids and at the end of the day they want to win.

This is not always true. Sometimes the kid has no business in the field.

Let’s not “face it” … not true in many cases that I know of! Why do parents feel the need to coach their own kids? And, why do clubs allow it? If the kid is truly the best, let another coach, coach them. If they are the best, they will not be denied playing time without daddy there. Coach’s still want to win.

These boys are going into 6th grade. No reason for Daddy’s to be coaching their travel teams. If the coach has a son on the team your best bet is to find a different club there is probably 25,738 to choose from on The island. Any given one of them will take your money.

Rebels, Rush, express, igloo, 91, legacy, moose all have parent coaches. I’m sure the others that I didn’t mention have parent coaches as well.

Makes sense not many would want to coach little kids for no reason. Can’t imagine they get paid much. Parent coaches have a reason. Rare you get lucky enough to get a non parent coach.

I agree daddy ball is bad. But who in their right mind would sign up to do it for the money their being paid? A person could get 5k for coaching middle school lacrosse. No fall ball. No fall tourneys. No winter ball. Then when the season comes it’s 7 weeks long! For a travel coach you get the same money but 10 times times the work. And then you have the parents complaining non stop.

Does East Coast Elite have a 2028 team ?

Rebels beat Rush because they are better

Why surprised? They are a top team on the Island. Rush is very good as well. Remember they are 11 yrs old and this 2028 has talent on a bunch of teams.

Thought they were going to be very good this year but they did not have many wins.
And we will have to agree to disagree about Rebels being a top team. They can’t beat top teams. This weekend proves that again.

I watched this game checking out the talent for my kids upcoming games and there was a major difference in philosophies going on with the coaches, the starting attack, defense and goalie never left the field for the Rebels and it seemed like Rush was playing everyone equal time. We played both Rush and the Rebels and they are both strong teams, I wouldn’t say that one was clearly better than the other, they both have a bunch of incredibly talented kids. You would have to imagine at 11 years old there would have to be a happy medium with substituting, and it’s certainly somewhere in between how the Rebels and Rush did it. I’m sure Rush kids were upset they lost, and I’m sure 1/2 the Rebels kids that never walked onto the field were very upset as well, it’s a long trip to watch others play.

Agreed. They have the best players at key spots and will only improve this year. Definitely a team on the upswing.

Totally False

Someone said the rebels losing a key player.

To the guy disparaging Dad coaches. Most dad's coach because they feel they can teach the game better than available options. They'll step to the side when they find their equal or more dedicated figure to take over in that capacity. Often there is not a better option. You are delusional if you think there is a deep pool of non-parent coaches that know the game, want to coach and do so for 3k a year with kids they have no tie to and actually have the time to do so. If you have access to that pipeline Ki suggest you start a staffing company focused on youth lacrosse coach placement (don't quit your day job in the meantime though).

Legacy 100 percent uses older players to win. As far as Rebels go if you want to leave don’t let the door hit you in the as on the way out. Across the board the best the # 1 program on the way to the top.

One player never makes a team. Ten kids playing together make it happen. Anyone leaving Rebels now is just straight out making a mistake. Let’s go Rebels. Yes legacy cheats all the time.,can not win without it

Whoever you are Rebels enthusiast ….. you have serious issues and a serious disconnect from reality. Go to the honesty posts and share your facts to prove that Legacy cheats. You do realize that’s you’re doing the exact opposite of what you’re trying to do, I was planning on having my son try out for Rebels because a few of his friends are on the team, but you’ve certainly swayed me 100% away, and before you go claiming things, my son would 100% make the list of the only 10 kids that play on that team. The times I’ve seen the Rebels this summer the parents were 100% better on the sidelines, you are reinforcing the odd theory of crazy Rebels parents. Let the scores talk, who have the Rebels beaten besides a lucky win vs Moose?

Now we know you are talking @#%^

It’s Rebels on every thread. This is tryout week. They are trying so hard to make 2 teams each grade. To do this kids need to attend tryouts. I agree though.

There are some rebels diehards on this site, but the parents on 28 rebels team are great. Have been a part since beginning and it is very good now. Dont let someone from a random anonymous board (That kid probably isnt even on the 18 team) deter you from coming to tryouts.

Also was at PLC and Legacy 100% brought 27s to compete against 28s. Have friends on team. Excuse was that True National has holdbacks so why cant we play 27s.

Can we stop the rebels are good, the rebels are not good arguments. If you’re interested go to tryouts, if not then don’t. See how the season goes and then talk your stuff whatever team you are a part of.

All players have progressed a lot. Kids get great coaching. Team isn’t regressing it is progressing. Competing with some of countries too programs. Had some big wins this year, but need some more time together with a new piece or 2 to beat the best teams around. Honest assessment from someone staying with the team.

In the last 2-3 weeks

Mooselax
Mad Dog West
Rush
Sweetlax Florida
3D Garden State
Igloo (not a big win)

1 goal losses to BBL, Thunder

Not saying they are best around, just that they are close and right there.

If these Dads are coaching b/c they feel they can teach the game better than the available options, why do they need to run their own kid out there every chance they get? Take a look at some of the older teams and when those kids land on Varsity teams. There are some '22 and '23 Coaches who have promoted their kids for years and those kids are still buried deep on Varsity rosters. It's pretty simple, when you agree to Coach, you agree to Coach everyone and the kids that you think aren't even close to your son will leapfrog him because they are learning the value of hard work and what it means to earn their spot.

I hope this isn't a Rebel parent posting this. Please step away from the keyboard, there is no reason to take their bait. Every club has warts, but if your son is happy and happens to be on a team Coached by multiple Varsity Head Coaches who will spend the time to improve his skills so he can get better - move on, no need to come on here and answer their jealous drivel.

He’s at 91 tryouts

Played hitmen last year (will go back) less than half the cost of big money clubs! Do plenty of tourneys and have indoor winter practice. Tight squad (plenty of playing time). They are not a AA team (but have some AA talent) but if ur not gunning for the WSYL save the difference and do private training! Dunno how others could pay $3-5k to be a second rate teams on a franchise.

Nothing wrong with that . Lucky if a kid gets a 5k D1 scholarship for college per yr . FACT stop drinking the Kool Aid !

Hitmen is fine as a second or 3rd team in addition to a primary. You get what you pay for. It’s a glorified rec team. Not enough talent, competition, or structured development to push your son to get better.

It must have been that he forgot or…. They’re not as good as the parents and organization thinks they are

Some people talk to themselves on here trying to cause issues. Word of advice, talk to real people with real experiences. Call clubs and see if they answer/get back, ask questions and see what the answers are if they are stuck to.

Not lately. They aren’t as strong as they were 2 years ago.

Mid-Atlantic 2028 forum had descended into chaos because the 28 Hawks just scored a bunch of holdback apparently. So the list above probably has some merit.

Not sure about 2 way. At least the Maryland folks were kind enough to put Venom in the top tier

2way 2028 has a player who was born in late 2008.

Rebels best player is gone. He kept them in every game and was a game changer. Question is, Legacy or Venom. Hope you have a 2nde goalie. Good luck next year rebs...

Rebels just got better as a team. We do appreciate your concern. Thanks 91 for posting it. Shows how class less you are.

Rebels goalie is not going to another club to split time with another kid. He is too good for that. Sorry. Nice try!!

Agreed! Cancer to team.

Kids great mothers a nightmare. As a parent from 2028 Rebels could not of got better news today. Venom goalie is very good, so let’s se the ripple effect.

If Rebels won her son played great. If they lost mom would blame coaches and other kids. Pretty psyched for tryouts Thursday

Hey Goalie Mom! Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Have never seen such a unanimous rejoice that a parent is leaving... Maybe with her goes the 2028 parent groups reputation. Seems to be the case.

This is hilarious. REBELS are calling another team classless? People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Doubtful

Rebels = JV
With the worst reputation on LI!

Maybe check out tryout next few days then let us all know how Rebels are doing

No thanks

Over the roughly past 10 days we have seen players jump from Igloo, S2S, Express, Moose, 91 etc. A few one off post followed but fairly lite overall. Absolutely nothing malicious or slandering. Today we now know that a player left the rebels for another program and this board exploded! Rebel parents going off viciously on a parent. This is why the rebels are who they are and they have earned their reputation.

This is all anonymous. For all we know it’s a parent in a rival organization talking to themself. Take this all with a grain of salt. If it was true the parent of the player should confirm it. But that won’t happen bc it’s anonymous.

The mom has been on this page in the past telling everyone how her son got a full ride to play with the Rebels. I’m betting the Rebels are regretting not ever playing their backup goalie now vs half way competitive teams. The 91 goalie is the top goalie on the Island and he’s been at 91 since the start, so I’d be amazed if he went there. Legacy is a possibility, but who knows, it’ll all be revealed soon enough, tryouts and decisions are still being made.

From what we’ve been told so far is the best kids from the turtles are going to BTB, moose kids are going to S2S, any other big moves so far?

Where are you getting all this news? Nothing has been said on this thread.
And why are people declaring Rebels goalie has left. Seems this is all premature and possibly wishful thinking.

If rebels goalie wasn’t planning on leaving then he will now after all the slandering the rebels parents did on this board.

I am not sold that those are real rebel parents. You would have to be pretty notIntelligent to push that goalie off the team. If they are real rebel parents, then they may know for sure he is leaving and then that betrayal would elicit such a strong reaction.

Maybe just let him go play where he wants to play. Rebels, great. Anywhere else, great.

Best player lol! Did anyone see his performance in Maryland ? He was 50/50 this year. Hence why he jumped onto a Venom where it’s an offensive game and less shots on him. And to share the time 50/50 or less.

That best players mom told everyone Legacy is not elite went to Venom said they are below Rebels. Her son needed to try a top team. Running her mouth on the sidelines to anyone who would listen as usual. 91 will take her $$ and he will sit 91 goalie is better

He is going to venom as 2nd goalie. Good luck with that!

He is it’s confirmed! How dense is his mother to do that?

I love that you said 91 goalie is best on the island. The Rebels goalie has been telling everyone that he is #1 sounds like a fun match up. Whose thinking Rebels goalie sitting the bench makes him quit lacrosse after this season?

For anyone who Knows this parent knows that the people that are happy to see her go are genuine. She is a nightmare for everyone she interacts with. She passes judgement on everyone. She killed her own Smithtown people because they wanted something better for their kid, right or wrong that was their choice. What she is doing is no different. What is different is that she claimed that the rebels head coach was her friend and she stabbed him right in the back. Again not surprising she has left every coach she has been associated with wounded on the side of the road.

There’s still bitterness from the group that went to Turtles - been bashing the Rebels every chance they get. All to make their own poor decisions look good. Enjoy your time with another new club, meanwhile the Rebel org has thrived without you and your trashy sideline behavior. The posts were written to provoke a response - keep typing back and forth to yourself, noone will bite. The Rebels are like any other 11 year old team, not perfect, but all willing to put in the work to get better, with a staff that can get them there.

Let this be a PSA to anyone who may consider being a the rebels. This group is out of control, nasty and classless. They have entered into a league of their own. As someone posted earlier kids left several other programs all over the island and nobody said a word! This is beyond absurd behavior and needs to stop.

All you people complaining and fighting about what team is better, let the kids play and have fun...they are 11 years old, by the time they get to high school half of these “All stars” are going to stink and half of the kids nobody knows about will emerge. Parents should do what they are supposed to do, stand on the sidelines and encourage the kids. Some of you need to grow up you sound like a bunch of fools!

Seems like a decent response, why so enraged?

You bit. Just saying

While all this bickering goes on 91 venom just keeps getting better.

FYI Rebels gave the goalie a scholarship because of his finances not because of his accolades

Who did venom beat that makes them so good? Seems like they went into hiding. Showed up at a Blatant B tourney to win a championship? Oh they were playing up in 2027 B bracket and losing so they came to 2028 B to win the championship so silly!! Venom players are leaving as well.

You are very misinformed.
Now that this season is coming to a close. A new thread will be popping up. Can we stop with all the rebels talk.I get what everyone is saying about the organization. It carried over from the same outlaws management. But at the end of the day these are kids teams. No need to be so vicious. Things will get sorted out in high school. Then we’ll see how much all this bickering mattered. In the meantime enjoy the rest of your summer. Only a few short weeks left before we start practicing again.

And the classless post from the rebels camp continues. You guys should contact Harvard business school and offer to teach a class, I would call it how not to market yourself.

Not sure if this thread is more comical or disturbing. Let’s remember that you grown adults are talking about a bunch of 10-11 year olds, with a side of 12s. I sure hope your kids don’t ever read these because they would probably be embarrassed themselves. Hmmm I wonder why cyber bullying is rampant among kids. If you feel so strongly about your comment and can back it up, take ownership and tell everyone who you are and what club you represent. Then, maybe us outsiders would take this forum more seriously. We’d especially know which sidelines to avoid.

More importantly, is your son growing on the team he’s on? Is he having fun? Is he still loving the game? If so, that’s the reason he’s on a team. If you’re not happy, move on and spend your time doing something besides bashing kids, parents, and clubs.

If you are new and looking for a travel team, please for the love of God, do not base your decisions on any of these comments. The posts are anonymous, so credibility is lost. Probably the same few people posting as other teams to stir the pot. Call the clubs. If you can speak to the coaches, try. The coaches may act/feel differently than the clubs and you may walk in to a philosophy that is different form what you’ve been promised. Sometimes the top clubs don’t have the coaching to back up their reputations. Sometimes having coaches who don’t have kids on the team aren’t as vested into the team and do the bare minimum. Go to all the tryouts. Find your son’s fit. Most of all, don’t believe anything on this forum.

As for all the Rebels talk…I can’t imagine the posts being written by actually Rebels parents. May be some salty blood out there pretending to be Rebels parents. Again, this is all anonymous. No credibility.

Do as we tell our own kids…don’t believe everything you read. Silence is Golden. Treat others as you want to be treated. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t speak.

This misconception is over. Rebels are ran nothing like outlaws. Rebels owners and management are all great people that actually care about your kids.

When you puff your chest, your son is on a scholarship, people tend to believe it’s due to your performance, and Rebels goalie mom did that. Guess what? It was nice that Rebels gave a kid a chance who couldn’t afford the opportunity?, No? I think that’s kind of really nice.

Just confirmed, parents are crazy!

They won Millon by beating next level and BBL, lost 4-3 in semis to Hawks at NLF, and whacked every LI team they played. Who else do you people want them to play??

Exactly. Tell us the name of your sons team and how they did against 91 or how they would do against 91.

No matter where rebels goalie went legacy or 91 each team has daddy coaches. Friendship have been made, all new players will have to perform and rise above friends of daddy coaches sons. It is what it is. Good luck to everyone. Next year should be interesting.

Rebels has really good coaching. The kids could develop well under them. The problem is and always will be culture that the parents bring and the kids learn from. Those parents, the ones that don't stop talking, that scream obscenities at games, that ruin outings like at Lake George because they think they can do whatever they want, that have kids that shoot other kids with BB guns. They're going to ruin those boys. Plain and simple.

That comment is not true. I know for a fact that the scholarship was given because they wanted the player, at any cost. I know this because...let’s just say i know for a fact.

Venom should have some collection of parent personalities this year. They need the FOGO from Legacy to really cap it off.

They were awful at Smithtown, worse at Turtles and continue in same form at Rebels.

This just isn’t true. Those parents are on turtles not Rebels.

That goalie from Rebels never played for turtles as far as I know so not sure what you are talking about there

That wasn’t 2028 with BB guns get your stories straight

The 2 moms from smithtown on Rebels were the worst. One had fight with venom families in 3rd grade

Stop

Can we all stop with the Rebels. They are even more irrelevant now. Move on.

One is now

More importantly than all of the nonsense written about, what are the available clubs on Long Island that are looking for players? Is it too late?

Are both A and B teams treated the same and given the same opportunities in the club? I don’t care if my son is on a B team, but will he be given opportunities to possibly rise to the A team? Does that ever happen from your experience?

I imagine most of the A teams are set with only a few positions being looked for, but what happens to new players?

My son attended St. Anthony’s lax camp. Seems rebels 2030’s have carried on the torch for the Rebels reputation. Gang mentality on the first day led to multiple withdrawals and complaints from other parents. St. Anthony’s ready to address issues at beginning of day 2 with whole group, only to have 8 rebels kids show up late, together, wearing their championship green hats from previous tournament. My thoughts were, what parent, in their right mind, sends a group of kids in to a camp attended by all lax teams wearing their hats? The parents allowed it and obviously supported it. Pathetic on many levels. I’ve had to walk away from 2028 Rebels moms to enjoy games. Now I’m seeing it is truly the culture. Bad look Rebels.

We’ve played the turtles and rebels and they are fine parents and great players. Who lacks class is 91. Yes you can argue they are the top talent on LI but classless parents who are day drinkers with red solo cups or yeti’s with alcohol, harass refs and make tourneys miserable. That franchise needs a good look in the mirror!

Why are you upset a kid wore a championship hat? They aren’t my kids, but my kids have tons of championship hats and shirts, they earned them and can wear them.

Honestly seems like you’re a little too sensitive.

I think BTB has a few spots open on their AA and A team. Two varsity coaches, based out of Plainedge and NO parent coaches.

Seriously

As the world turns....

I think what we’ve learned is don’t lie to people. Don’t say one thing and do another.

Sounds like someone is a little butt hurt now that the rebels don't have a goalie. Just saying! Oh and yeah they should have cleared the decision with you 1st. HAHAHA - Pathetic!

Waaaaaa!

Lol are you complaining that a group of 8 year old teammates hang out together at a camp they probably signed up for together and wore their championship hats that they just won? Upset little Johnny didn’t get a participation hat he can wear with his friends?

Mamba Mentality

Maybe change this to the Rebels/Turtles/Smithtown board?
