These are so call friends you.know for years.


The truth is kids come and go from every organization. It happens every year. Some kids need a fresh start to try and get back the love for the game. kids don't mesh sometimes or grow apart so then it's time to move on. There should be no hard feelings either way . Consider it a lesson learned on both end. Just not sure what players Revo lost from last years team that people are talking about?

Wow...a little early to be getting into it boys, wait till afternoon and I'll hold your coats...sounds like Revo had it's troubles, probably why I saw so many at Bluefish...every organization has it's issues, TB seems like it's in it's death throws, fl$ on weaker ground ( their own doing I hear ), Igloo and Tomahawks are weaker still... the common denominator here? Everyone wants to stack the deck in their kids favor, musical chairs with teams in order to find the perfect spot...the kids suffer the consequences...to much instability at this age level other than Express and 91, and unless your kid is an ace, they risk getting buried their...save your money and try the showcases this year then let the freshman coach tell you where to play next summer

Does anybody have any thoughts on Bluefish? Seems a little high $1750 for 10-12 practices? Can’t beat what Revolution offers throughout the year? Think people would change over? Not sure which team my son would make….just looking and trying to make right decision.

True every team has issues that's for sure but to bash kids is not the way to go. I couldn't care less what kid and from what team. Whatever happened in the past is over with. Kids move on to different teams as we all know. The problem I have is stop talking about the kids. Never heard anything bad about kids from the organization. But there is always some moron that has to go there without the facts. There is two sides to every story that's true. It's a situation that the coaches need to handle as well as the parents. Why bad mouth the kids?

This whole Chaminade/Garden City war that fl$ has initiated is only going to help Express. Why do you think there were so many kids at their tryouts. Anyone attending or thinking of attending Chaminade has to be wary of fl$. I guess they are content to make it a de facto Manhasset HS organization,

I agree, talk about programs not kids. every team will have turnover and have kids that don't gel anymore. that is why people leave to go to other teams and I wish all the players good luck.

lets just try and remember that they are still kids(14 years old) and it should still be about the kids developing and having fun.

Good Luck to all teams

$1750 sounds a little high but at least the tourney fees are part of the price, correct? equipment package looked good too...helmet AND gloves, or helmet AND equipment package ( they hadn't decided ). Some teams don't include tourneys fees and charge more...Gloves are usually extra..there will be some extra costs once your roped in, off season training at the bubble and such...I'll consider it seriously...the kicker will be the training, and location...these guys had an army of young coaches at the tryouts, younger coaches relate better, older coaches know more, could be a nice mix, practices at Hofstra, this would be pretty nice...only one way to find out...saw ALOT of talent at the tryout, so maybe some decent level of play by next summer, some decent team showcases...that's what I would wanna hear about, but looks good

Come on really. Trying to make revo sound like its so great for the money. What if your kid doesn't make either? Oh wait your kid is already on revo. Nice try but people aren't stupid. You have to look at the whole picture. Who runs the organization? Are parents involved? Are the coaches adults or are they kids in college? Where do they practice? If your kids a goalie, do they have training? Middies and attack always have training. Who is the guy coaching defence? Your paying the money so you should ask them these questions. If you need some questions answered about revo I will be more then happy tp help you out. All I could do is be honest with you because others are going to give you a line of crap and tell you what you want to hear. I'll try to help out as best as I can.

It all sounds great....biggest question is the extent to which these college players and coaches will be actively engaged in the Spring as well as the Summer. Their season starts in Winter and runs into Spring. In the Summer doesn't Tierney have to be out on the recruiting trail himself attending showcases, etc.? It will be interesting to see if they can juggle it all and make the thing successful.

yeah, that Manhasset thing was pretty obvious from the 2020 tryouts, fl$ not worth the money they charge anyway, even by GC standards, mostly play in obscure tourneys they have their name on and that they have a hand in the till...let's see how fair getting into bed with the 'Set' gets you...wood stick awaits

Developing and having fun at 14. Not anymore guy. It's unfortunate but now it's about showcases and getting on a team that has connections. Also a very good team where if you go to a showcase you don't get embarrassed. I wish it was fun for my son but it's about college now.

Really guy. So tell us is your son a scholar and a great athlete. If he is then I don't think your kid will have a problem getting into any school he chooses. You can easily send highlight film from his highschool games to any college he wants to attend. If they like him they will find him. Just be realistic when you judge you childs talent. Remember it's only going to help him get into a school that maybe he would not of been able to get into.

He makes a good point. Many people don't ask questions and just go along with everybody else. If you know your child then some of these questions are important to you as well as your son.

What I like about bluefish is the people behind the organization. They are well know in the lax world and I'm sure they know how to put thUtS2Ssis program where it needs to be. So paying a little more may be the best thing. If I had to choose I would give the edge to bluefish. I don't know who runs revolution but I don't think the names are as big as bluefish. Come to think of it I haven't seen anything on revolution on this site. Anybody know why? Are they a new team as well? I didn't see anything on the BOC last year either.

Don't know what team your son will make but can say Revolution team has a solid track record and plays at a high level already. Personally I would go there as logic says they will have a better resume for their showcase applications. That also means it might be more difficult to make that team so good luck.

Guys what showcases are important to you!? Go to that showcases web site and see if your team is on their list. If not, at the very least question it!

I also don't think you need to do 3 fall tourneys, keep it at 2 team showcases and train, train, train; maybe hit up a few (2) select school "invites" sessions.

I hope some of the directors realize you can get some great friendly's going.

Btw - the team with the biggest shift this upcoming season probably isn't even known to the masses yet. So relax and let the chips fall where they may.

I guess this person should not even bring his son to revolution if he's not a very good player because revolution is playing at a high level. Wow I guess you told him where to go. I guess that other guy was right about the organization. Now I know why they were trying to trash kids.

No one at revolution was trashing any kids from last year. It is someone stirring the pot who heard hear say stories. Because they don't want certain kids to go to revo. They want those kids for their team. Its all a ploy to try and make an organization look bad. All good people associated with revo. Good parents and coaches who care.

Did you not read what was said. It's someone from your organization. Stop trying to cover things up. I thought all the kids are coming back so who could be taking or trying to take your kids. Talk about kids like that. Thanks guys for being standup people. Why to take a teammates back. That's loyalty at it's best. Still haven't answered questions yet.

Poster said they would go to TEAM REVOLUTION, but it might be more difficult to make the team. My interpretation was the worthwhile road is sometimes the more difficult road.

Maybe it was someone from an organization someone was interested in going to. Many people are aware of what takes place within other organizations. Sometimes players play on various teams during the year as well and run into those players in other places.......the only thing you should be sure of is that you shouldn't be sure of anything.

I made alot of friends and hope to remain friends with some not all. To not go to bat for another friend who's kids were trashed. Friends don't do friends like that. As for your last comment I have no clue why someone from another team that they don't play for gas anything to do with it.

You know what ,people get a kick out of doing stiff like this to other people and it aint right. People try to play games and get each other to start something between teams and individuals which is is not right. Try to keep iton the up and up and no kids..

we did 3d last year outside LarryMiller...not sure how many college coaches were at that one, but my son had fun, learn some stuff from the coaches, met some kids and got to test himself against cream of the crop players...all in the Florida sun on Super Bowl weekend...I suggest you make whatever showcase your looking to do a multipurpose weekend and get something else out of it...

I was told that igloo can't field a team for 2019 this year. Is that correct I thought they had a solid team last year, what happened? First they cancel the 2018 team and now no takers for 2019. what about the kids that were at the tryouts and were told they will have a team.
