Wondering where Legacy will be training...

Don't see many people trying out for a team that won't announce the coach or how much they charge until after you paid $100 and tried out.or the additional $25 to walk up because they had to write your name down on the paper. They will most likely end up with a combined team with 3rd grade and the coach that was able to bring over the most kids from his town.Be prepared for them to tell you need to commit ASAP.Check around first. They will always be having tryouts later in the year. That was basically a recap of last year.

Barone and Cromwell coaching Igloo's team. If I had a 2026 kid that is where I would go.

Anyone know how many kids tried out for Legacy tonight?

80+

Thanks for the update, must be because word on the street is that Keenan is involved, lol!!

Keenan not involved with 2026 or 2023 grade just 2024

Just to clarify... any idea how many 2026's at Legacy on Monday?

15 or so

Seems like 2026 is light across the board. Legacy reported 15 or so, Express sounded even less...Igloo coming up might give us the total picture. Maybe August tryouts turned some newcomers away or maybe the parents just decided 2nd grade is too young.

2nd grade travel should have tryouts in the spring. No need to push these kids, so who are still 6 to do tryouts so early.

Anyone know what the turnout looked like for igloo 2026 this morning?

Anyone have any thoughts on the 2026 clubs post tryouts? I went to 2 of them with my son for the experience and to get a sense of if he is ready for this, but I am new to this process. Awaiting results then will make a decision if it is for him. Looking for fair opinions on coaching, clubs at this age... I have heard (and agree) that coaching is most important here... (please save nonsense comments....)

Coaching is key, Barrone is top notch, no doubt and with Cromwell, I'd say they are the best combo. Don't know too many of the others. 91 hasn't named coaches nor have some of the others, so you have to avoid them until you have names.

Dan Paccione and Jay Leavy are coaching Legacy

A lot of daddy ball at igloo

Barrone has a kid on the team but he is a [lacrosse] of a coach

Igloo did a great job with the 2026s in the camp format. I think most teams had about the same turnout give or take a few. Barone and Cromwell made it fun in very hot conditions and the kids learned a ton.

Paccione from St John's ?

I would agree Igloo would be the place to go based on the coaching but it's going to run you $1800. That's a lot of cash for 7 year old lax
