Wow. I guess your son didn't make any team. Don't be mad. It's ok. Igloo and express parents are very happy. And some of your GC boys play for both. I think we are to at 20k now. And have 40 on the roster. NOT!!!! Stop stirring the pot and tryout for a real team next year. Oh I forgot, your son didn't make it. So bash away at Express and Igloo. By the way, we all have money for their college funds and going on vacation.

Express needs to beat the Bandits first.

Bandits will lose to the Badgers this year for sure.

Surprisingly?? Up yours.

Why is this Bandits /Badgers bulls**t on 2022.

I totally agree with you. They will battle this year. Badgers got alot better. Bandits not so much.

Let's rephrase that- how about a supposedly great club team which happens to have all kids from Manhasset (and rather large ones) on it almost got beat by a Port Washington town team. That game was the first time the town team has played together since last spring. So yes, up yours. Why do I have to keep telling you people to go and polish your loafers????

Question, wasn't this a town team tournament? How about we leave the suppositions aside and just say it was a good game and congratulate ALL of the kids for playing so well?!

A lot of towns and not distinguishing between their PAL and travel team. they are entering the travel teams in town tournaments even it it's really a club team.

A lot of towns start dividing their PAL teams up by talent in 5th grade. So some of the better town teams will play in both travel and town tournaments. I see nothing wrong with this.

no one said there was anything wrong with it per se. just another edge everyone vying for. someone said wasn't that a town tournament? It gets quite confusing after awhile because the teams are touting each other as both. after a town tournament if a team wins against a club team everyone jumps all over it. I'm simply stating in some towns there is no distinction. the teams entering town tournaments who have a legitimate travel program or have kids on top club teams as well will have an advantage without a doubt. how many top club team helmets do you see at town tournaments. the number is growing larger every year.

So are you penalizing a boy who plays on a travel team and also plays for his town in a town tournament? Do you not want him to wear his travel helmet during town events? I doubt there are many towns out there that forbid players from wearing a non-town helmet when participating on a town team. That would be silly.

But if a town team is good enough to compete at a travel/club team level, shouldn't that be considered a good thing? Seems like the original poster thinks otherwise.

I think the problem here is when you have a club team that is playing in a town tornament and they are saying they're a town team and acting like they are town team when they are not

Because Bandits have a former affiliation with Express 2022.

Couldn't agree more. Can't these post's be edited out of this thread?

If every kid on a team is from the same town, goes to the same schools, etc, does that make it a town team?

you do not have to be from Manhasset to play on 32. I know this for a fact. They are a club team and not a town team

Bob, please go back to the 2023 board.

How bout you open a bandit and badgers soap opera in the 2023 thread where it belongs?

My point exactly. Not a town team but a club team. Make up your minds, 32. Keep doing and saying whatever is most convenient for you whenever it is most convenient for you

But what's your point as it pertains to 2022 team. You seem bitter and misguided,

How does Smash look this year?
