I heard the boys who are not on the list anymore were either already accepted to the final roster or have committed to the other showcase.
I don't understand how they can have kids who were already promised positions on the roster when the tryouts are still going that would be horrible if that is the case.

There are still names on the list who are committed to Jake Reed I see 3 of them myself. No final list was made yet. I heard the boys who are not on the list anymore were either already accepted to the final roster or have committed to the other showcase.

The only thing I can say is that I spoke with 2 parents of 2019 kids and they were both told by the director that their sons already made the team after the first tryout. they were told they didn't have to go to the tryouts.
Not sure if they are full of it, but I guess we will know the truth once the final list comes out.

I am sure you can go back and look at the same comments the past 3 years. The past few years they have seemed to pick the best representation for the island. They may miss a diamond in the rough. or may give the 45th kid the 40th spot but I am sure it isn't that far off.

they are both solid players, but not the best in their position by any means. I only know of 2 or 3 kids who would deserve to get an automatic invite and they aren't 2 of them
We will just have to wait and see how the tryouts go and who they select. I am sure once the list is announced you will start to hear more bitching and complaining

This type of stuff has been going on for a loooong time. Last year at the 2018 Pride of Long Island there were 77 kids and 3 teams at the tryout. These were the players that were selected from the 150 or more that tried out at the first Brine tryout. At the Pride of Long Island after an hour or so the players broken down to the final two teams. This was approximately 50 players. Which meant that about 27 kids were sent home before the final selections were made. It was determined that there was so much talent on those two final teams that Long Island would have 2 teams. (Team Long Island and Team New [lacrosse]). You would think that players who were on the final two teams would have been the obvious choice to make up the Team New [lacrosse]. Not the case. Players who were sent home before the final two teams miraculously made Team New [lacrosse]. Many people were left scratching their heads. Go figure that one out.

Not sarcasm, sincere thanks for this nugget of information. Seems this year is close to the same numbers as last year. Do you know how many of the players from last years team are impact players for their schools this year? Where there any who made an impact for their schools last year? Were the players selected of relative caliber of some of those that didn't make it? I would assume with limited roster spots there were some turned away just as good as some picked. Does anyone know about how the process was for the 2017 year. In looking and hearing Mike Quick (MSGV) plenty of Sophomores are impact players on top teams.

I think you raise some interesting questions. The teams from Long Island were Team Long Island and Team New [lacrosse]. Team Long Island (A) being the better of the two. This team went on to win the event in the 2018 age group. The New [lacrosse] team (B) still being made up of predominantly all Long island players was competitive but not as good as the A team. The injustice here is that after the A team was made wouldn't you think that the B team should have been made up of the players that were left over from the final team selection of 50 players. All players at this level and who made it to Pride of Long Island were very good. A tryout is a tryout and kids should be selected on how they show not based on who you play for and connections. Many of these players are good and depending on their school will dictate impact. example 1: a player who is very good can be in a weaker lacrosse program and make varsity. They may have a major impact for their team. I know a few but will not mention their names. example 2: same player in a strong high school program and he will not have an impact because he is playing JV due to upperclassmen strength. example 3: many of these stud players who have gone the catholic or Private School route and based on tradition play Freshman Team, JV, then Varsity. There are exceptions to the rule in these schools but overall they follow a certain pattern of playing based on year.

Thanks, The schools that don't pull up have strong JV teams and the boys could be impact player there. As far as Catholics are they impact players on Freshman. Not looking for names, a statement of all/most/some boys are or will be impact players were they landed would suffice.

Not looking for names, a statement of all/most/some boys are or will be impact players were they landed would suffice. Most of all 2018 I know in Catholics are playing freshman ball. I am pretty sure about Chaminade and only 2 players were moved to JV from the freshman team at St. Anthony. Some of the smaller or less deep catholic schools like St. Dom and Holy Cross probably have freshman playing varsity due to class size and numbers of players playing lacrosse at said schools. JV is a mixed bag of nuts at public. Personally feel even an impact player can get lost in a poorly coached JV program. Some kids can regress due to being coached by the football coach who has no idea about lacrosse and plays his football players over seasoned and skilled players. Please understand this is an example from which I am very familiar with. There are also programs with strong JV coaching that help feed Varsity and you can tell which programs those are based on year and year out performance. There are also down years for programs. It happens. Things are always changing as are programs. Some years just have better players than others and no matter how good the coaching is you cant get blood from a stone. I hope this info helps.

Below the list today shows a link to over 800 players playing in the NCAA who went through Brine. That is a great little Did you Know. thanks

You will find that players will miraculously be at Pride who weren't even at the first tryout. Then after the Pride games players that weren't part of the final game(two teams made from the three) will make a team if they go with 2.

Always conflicts somewhere you can't expect everyone to show up every time what about injury , sickness or something else. Exceptions are always make and it should be that way they are only human not machines. You will find that players will miraculously be at Pride who weren't even at the first tryout.

There are plenty of other money grabs out there. NOBODY who did not attend the original tryout should just show up now. REDICULOUS!

Bottom line, If they are better than the boys there today then chances are they would have been better last time too.
not sure the issue. Good luck to all today.

Great lessons you are teaching the kids. Listen you don't have to go to first tryout but you will get to the second because I know someone. What if the so called better kid had a bad tryout on that day. Any given day anyone can shine especially in the competitive lacrosse field. Remember these are supposed to be the better kids trying out for this event.

Remember these are supposed to be the better kids trying out for this event. First tryout was well publicized and held in December. 60+ kids were invited back from a pool of about 140-160. Second tryout(who knows why they had it?) was in March and was not well publicized. About a dozen kids invited back from pool of 80-90. Then, recently several last minute additions. Is it the coaches calling an making recommendations or is it parents whining? I wonder if kids that did not get the original call back in December got to go to another tryout. Feels murky.

Bottom line, If they are better than the boys there today then chances are they would have been better last time too.
not sure the issue. Good luck to all today. So why have a tryout. Sorry you were out of town, hurt, sick, whatever it maybe. You didn't go to first tryout you should not be at second. Great lessons you are teaching the kids. Listen you don't have to go to first tryout but you will get to the second because I know someone. What if the so called better kid had a bad tryout on that day. Any given day anyone can shine especially in the competitive lacrosse field. Remember these are supposed to be the better kids trying out for this event. First tryout was well publicized and held in December. 60+ kids were invited back from a pool of about 140-160. Second tryout(who knows why they had it?) was in March and was not well publicized. About a dozen kids invited back from pool of 80-90. Then, recently several last minute additions. Is it the coaches calling an making recommendations or is it parents whining? I wonder if kids that did not get the original call back in December got to go to another tryout. Feels murky. Very Murky If they are trying to field 2 teams like they have done for the past 2 years, you want to have a larger selection of players to choose from, whether they were in the initial tryout or not. Having a solid first team and a competitive second team makes it more enjoyable for the players. This nonsense of favoritism has been going on for years, move on, make sure the best play at these events, i've seen where the best did not show up and it isn't pretty.

Is it too much to ask for fair play in youth lacrosse? Oh, wait, I'm ok now. I just woke up- had a nice dream.

I agree with let the best play. Some of the player talent differential is negligible. At least show up to tryout or even let the coaches make the choices from those they picked. Last year daddys made phone calls after Johnny was sent home after the Pride teams were reduced to the two teams and from those two teams the selection were made. A number of players who were eliminated miraculously made the 2nd team to go to Brine after it was determined the talent of the two teams playing was good enough to field two Long Island based teams.

Brine did a nice job last night. They made the kids feel good about being there.
The depth of the talent was remarkable. These kids really can play. The speed and pace of the game at this level was very impressive. Every one of them deserved to be there.
In all, he was glad to be there.

Was the pro player tourney a worthwhile event?
Did anyone see the 2019 town teams and travel programs?

Also, has anyone played Viper? 2019 Viper was a combined 7/8th grade team last year. They had 6 8th graders so the whole team played up in 2018. This year they are playing in their own grade.

The Pro Player was not the best competition for 2019. Most teams were B level.

Maybe reach out to the directors of both tournaments and they can tell you who is playing.

If you were an evaluator at the Brine tryout Friday night you should be embarrassed or at least be able to explain yourself. How do you look at numbers and evaluate kids based on their play and some kids weren't even there. If the number isn't on the field how do you pick them?. There was a speech before the tryout where the kids are told your numbers and play will dictate if you are on the team. Please explain. If its a scam then please say it is and I will respect you more. I guess there were maybe 20 people picked and not 23 then. Is it fair to all the other kids or at least say that some kids are on the team already based on rep and they were so good at the first tryout that no one out there can compete with them. I would respect that more. No sour grapes but if my facts are wrong please correct me and i will apologize.

I know a few who made it and rightly deserved it and were the best on the field. I don't know all the boys selected is it posted. I usually wait for an email from my friend, if the player is a top player than relax if your son is better than you have an issue.

Agree 100 percent complete scam !!! Very sad.. It's not fair to the kids that they don't get a fair chance. All these parents that make careers out of [lacrosse] kissing to get your kid ahead I'm sure your proud... to bad your kid didn't earn it !!!

Please. The poster is right. I know of at least one kid who wasn't there that is on the roster. And a few of the kids picked were definatly not the best there. It is not fair. True the best there were selected but there were several "favors" too.
