Def go to other clubs and try to make their A team, and if not then the B team. Anything more than 2 teams gets lost in the shuffle. They may be very well intentioned znd trying to give a home to all those that wish to play- but truthfully, you'll be better off on a clubs A team, even if they have a smaller following.

Frankly, kids who can only make 3rd or 4th team probably aren't going to playing lacrosse in college so recruiting and exposure really doesn't matter and the parent club's focus or lack thereof on the team is irrelevant. What will make all the difference is the coach of the individual team. Whether it is a C team or a smaller A team, a good coach who encourages and develops the players and makes the season fun will be all that matters. So if you think the C team coach is right for your son, put him there. If you think the A team coach is a better fit, go there. At this level, that will be far and away the most important thing.

How are the Vipers?

Well, my older son only made the "c" team in 8th grade. He later surpassed most a team players in hs. And plays top level D1 now

new teams struggle, give a year or two and check back.

Seems Bluefish has promise due to coaching and affiliation with University. Some oversights and lack of attention at 2020 tryout on Saturday 8/29. Particularily one of the coaches (actually appeared to be a college kid), not very attentive and made some errors in judgement regarding getting kids balanced playing time in scrimmages. They have a nice idea, remains to be seen whether it will be executed effectively.

coaching and great facilities should make for a pretty positive experience. Also veterans at running big clubs.

owned by a larger club? please elaborate.. Express, 91.. which do you think. Or is it the CRABS?

You fool that dreamer thinks it's the Maryland teams. How about you get your 5 best Maryland teams we will get our 5 best Long Island teams and have a ten team tournament see who comes out on top. With the best record.

I think the competition would be quite good. Crush on top, naturally but Looneys almost beat them in PA. Crabs, Hawks, FCA and 91MD would give the rest a run for their money. I think the Hawks beat Legacy earlier this year, doesn't everyone say they're #2 on LI these days?

Let them come and get there beat down!

Only team that would be a given to beat the five best Maryland teams is Crush and they earned that and the respect that goes with it as they play on age and have worked hard to get where they are. The remaining 4 Long Isalnd teams and the 5 Maryland would be great competitive games. It is not about region wars but good lacrosse for talented kids. And would be great if they used the Denver age cut off for any tourney to even the playing field and exclude those teams that manipulate the grade based rules and start sending the message that the other teams will not tolerate nor accept kids playing down.

Legacy has let about 6 or 7 kids go and have upgraded in every area. They should be very good this year and added a lot of size and speed.

Is the pecking order now for LI
1.Crush
2.Legacy
