Our 2019 Try Out has 110 Kids registered as of 530am sat. Online Registration will close at 7pm tonight. Walk ups are welcome. We will be fielding 3 Teams at this age Thanks PB 110 is a big number, the $ should be rolling in, but that number doesn't mean success. Last year Legacy had great numbers and talent at their tryout a but did not perform up to expectations. This team doesn't have a core to build with like 91, Express Outlaws or the other supposedly better programs did when they started. Hopefully all the big names will be around enough and the team is successful enough to warrant the high price to what you get, (or think you're gonna get) ratio

Con't......,,,It's too bad that lacrosse has gotten to this point....,very expensive, being told that to get recruited you need to have those certain contacts when it really comes down to your players ability. Heck, we even pay for try outs when it is the teams that should be courting the players, my son didn't pay to try out for his soccer team. If this keeps up Lacrosse will become too expensive for the regular family to participate. Can you say oligopoly?

The difference that I see in tryouts for soccer and lacrosse, is that soccer first and foremost, is run by the mom and pop volunteer clubs and it is informal and come to a practice and tryout. For lacrosse, the clubs do what amounts to clinics to see the kids and there are usually 3, 4 or 5 dates. If they didn't charge people would use them as clinics and go for the training.

Bluefish having 3 teams at 2019 is a blatant money grab, better let people know what they will be getting for all that money...and still haven't heard a word about who will be coaching top team...you want top players to take a chance, better let them know who they will be taking it with

top athletes should play multiple sports, it's what made them top athletes in the first place…but it's all the coaches who say they want a well rounded athlete but not at the expense of HIS particular sport…to many off season commitments…travel lax now playing full load of fall tourneys, so football kids are made to choose…guess, what... when they come back in the spring, they are still the top athletes…give these kids room to breathe…my kid couldn't wait for football to start, but lax tryouts right in the middle of football tryouts has him doing two a days (yeah, I know all about the publics being back awhile already, keep your pants on), lets take a step back and think this stuff over, either have them after the season in August or after tryouts, you'll get a better look…

There's nothing wrong with for profits, second soccer is much bigger. Most towns are fielding several teams at the mid to lower age groups which enrollment wise rival the numbers of some of the big Lacrosse clubs. Also, many of these guys have been doing this over a period of decades....how many lacrosse clubs can say that?

I think more kids looking at the bluefish and team revolution at this point. Went on team revolution website and they are saying they are going to some fall showcases. And for summer it says at least 3 showcase tournaments. Not bad. I know they had a pretty solid team last year. And heard Malave is head coach.

Can someone explain the Express Teams in the 2019 age bracket, who coaches the AA the A and B teams? Why does the guy from Kellenberg even coach the top team? He loses his best players to St A's and Cham every yr.

Not sold on the website. Be careful they lost some really good players from last year. I heard they were key players. Revo may not be the same. They don't appear that strong of a team to compete at showcases especially if they lost five or six of their core players.

Revo did not lose 5 or 6 top players. Maybe 1 might leave. The other 2 kicked off team because of attitude problems. So good luck to a team that took them. They are not worth the headache.

And what they did to the kids on last years team? Amazing changes in lax for this age group over the past 3 or 4 years TB split from Jesters Revolution split from TB Inception and demise of LIT Blue Sharks Demise of Jesters Inception of BlueFish LI sharks will form team legacy, outlaws and 91 seem rather stable fl$ fight with Chaminade - new Manhasset tryout connection Weak turnouts at TLI tryouts and TB tryouts Weak turnout at Igloo and demise of team in this age Large tryout populations at express, bluefish and revolution That said, with the scattering of good players from fl$, Igloo, True Blue, and LIT BlueSharks, we can expect many changes in some A and AA level teams at Express, Revolution, Legacy, and Outlaws. Don't expect too many defections from 91.

Where did you get your info, what key players left? That group plays as a team and always has, never relying on individuals. Last year any time they were without any "key" players they did fine. Not sold on the website. Be careful they lost some really good players from last year. I heard they were key players. Revo may not be the same. They don't appear that strong of a team to compete at showcases especially if they lost five or six of their core players.

Bluefish had great talent and a ton of kids. 3 teams for 2019. TB had decent talent, little over 22 kids. Revolution had about 90 kids. Talent was there but dropped off dramatically. Saw multiple dropped balls and kids without a left hand. Also hearing 3 teams.

Funny when one of the kids scored seven goals at a tournament nothing was said. Just goes to show people what some people on the team say about you when your not there. These are the same people that are your teammates. Watch your back cause it could be your kid that they want to blackball next. The two of the kids from revolution were the ones who, with others made the team what they are. They went to e new organization to help put it on the map and that's what you get. Beware.

Glad to hear most kids going back to Revo. I know the there are three that are not going to be there. If they were to loose five or six players ,[lacrosse] if any team was to lose five or six players it's tough to replace top talent. That's what I think the guy or gal was referring to with the revolution comment. At least that's what it sounds like to me. When you start bashing kids that tells me your a coward. That's real nice. Your an a**. Just call me if you have something to say so we can talk like gentlemen and not hide behind the web. Feel free anytime. Your a peice of sh** carma is a [lacrosse]. You'll get yours. These are so call friends you.know for years.
