Wow that legacy Taz team is going to be special. Those kids were awesome. My kid is going to have to work harder to get to that level. Trying to be a realist.

He's coaching so his daughter gets played. She will play both girls & boys a few years. If your son isn't good he won't see the field at all. Do you want that from a team in THIRD grade?

Still a far 2nd place team in the 2024 Bracket

I wonder how many of those 60 kids actually want Igloo? Or are using the 100$ for 8 hours of practice? Is 4th the grade when kids can start using long poles in tournys?
I was not there but heard was well run and alot of different helmets -

The poster was making a comment on how good 8/9 year olds play the game and pack dad has to take a shot at kids. Comical. No dog so I'll bite, didn't they play an OT one goal game late in the season?

What a complete loser comment. Go look in the mirror. The guy is complimenting a group of kids and you come in guns out. Another failed HS player attempting glory through his 9 year old.

Sad.

100% correct. He plays 12 kids 90% of the time on both of his other teams. But his daughter can't play both. Girls lax is more travel than boys. She'll have to pick one and I heard its next summer. This thing with JS coaching that team is a complete bait and switch. I feel bad for anyone that falls for it.

Taz and Wolfpack have played 5 or 6 times and only 1 game was close, but that game was the last one between the two teams, so the gap is closing

You guys are speaking as if Rooney wouldn't be a draw by himself. People would be silly to doubt how good he is. And if you only get one year, you have to take it, the next year is always a crap shoot anyway.

I decided to take my son to a few different tryouts to see what was out there. I must admit all the clubs tryouts we attended were well run, a positive experience for my son and at worst an expensive 2 night clinic each time. As a parent, I stood back about 20 yards from the fence and watched the children and the parents. My one observation, about 1/3 of all the parents gave the boys a positive word or two when they came off the field, a smile, hug, high five or fist bump. Good luck to all the boys and parents as they make their club selections. We are going Legacy, it made sense to us.

Larry, why was the comment about the DELETED tryouts tonight removed?

I went to a tryout last night at suny farmingdale and at the end. The coach took all the 9 year olds from last year and played against all the new kids. Old team 10. New kids zero. What a waste of 20 mins for the new kids. Then the coach basically admitted team is picked but the B team will be great

And this surprises you? Not sure why you would have expected different with that org. Btw, this will be the third year in a row with a new B team starting from scratch. Buyer beware.

We'll see how that B team nets out...Not sure how committed the coach really is

i will say that up until that point it was 2.5 hours of good drills and positive energy

He's a JS protege. He collects the best hold backs on the grede level then yells and screams at them till they're too scared to make a mistake. The parents then tell everyone that they are better than all but two of the 2023 A teams, but get crushed by most of them. Be glad. That club's second teams are generally excellent without all of the coach's egos and temper getting in the way

We are from out of town and attended a couple of tryouts yesterday. All I can say is that the kids were really nice to my son even though he did not know any of them. It was great to see such talented kids.

Hahahaha. You are all whiney little women. Once again a bunch of Dads who sons couldn't cut it. You all complain about the same stuff at whatever club tryout your kid cant hang with. this is your son is not ready to play at this level. Grab a stick and go out and practice with your kid.
