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.

Really, time and plenty of teams? not hardly! Whose left that you want to head to team showcases with? In this pivotal year do you really want to start over with a new team that may or may not be invited to any showcase level tournament, teams that crumble at this point in the year did your kids wrong and should've let them know that there was a problem if they knew ( fl$, TB, Igloo),so they could've tried out for other teams earlier than this point in the process...money grab, money grab, money grab... But it's going on all over the place this year ... Lots of kids scrambling for a spot on a decent showcase team now with all these collapses and banishments... Teams don't care, got their tryout money, now the settle into their chosen few...TB and Igloo owe it to their boys at this age to reach out to each other, try to form a showcase team under one banner or the other and allow the boys a shot at a showcase.

There was a lot of talent at both Revolution tryouts. They will field two very good teams. Still one tryout left I believe.

Hey tough guy didn't know revolution had another tryout on the 19th. There are definitely very good players who are still out there who didn't want to take express B or the a$$ who runs fl$ team. So go take bluefish. So you feel good your kid is on an A team. Team revolution seems to be a viable option for nassau county kids or western Suffolk.

I think they practice in floral or new hyde park in the fall and summer but queens in the winter. Somewhat long ride for guys coming from Suffolk. Their are other teams on the island holding tryouts still.

TB 2019 will not field a team

I guess it's hard to read .when you were told about the tryouts didn't you see the third date right on the flyer. Your suppose to go to that one also. The cost is around $1700 without extra showcases which will add to the price I'm sure

Igloo emailed me and all others and got us recommend for the Blue Fish Program. Igloo did the right thing and didn't want to form a team for the sake of forming a team. They could have and taken my money, but didn't, and even gave us another place to go. What else could they do..

They could've formed a team and trained kids, but only want competitive teams cause they attract the $. And think about this, igloo tried to forge teams in an older age bracket out of thin air. It didn't work, so what did they do? They got their players recommended for a team and program with even less of a track record. Good luck boys, don't know if they really did you a favor.

Give me a break. What were they suppose to do? At least they recommend kids to a new organization that has lax people involved in it. Bluefish has some very good people in the organization not like some other teams. Powers and Tierney just to start off with. These guys are very very good lax guys who have a great reputation in the lax community. To me I think that it's a no brainer. Where do you go, revolution? Who do they have running the organization some lax dad? Do they even have any big name people in the organization that have been successful in what they do? These guys at bluefish can teach you kids about lax at a much higher level then most. It's all a matter of who you want teaching your kids and how far you want to go with your sons knowledge of the game.

Don't start rumors unless you know for a fact - nothing has been announced from TB

I heard TB was holding an additional tryout and was planning on attending? Where did you hear no team?

A very reliable source. And I heard about the additional tryout too, which has now been followed by the no 2019 team.

Only know revolution. Kid name mike malawe. Bluefish as far as I know hasn't named one to my knowledge and can't remember lagacys coach. He is a head varsity coach for SWR high school I believe. Sorry not much help.

Anybody have any idea what the 91 teams might be looking for? I would imagine with the seasons orange and white had they aren't looking to make many changes. Anyone have any insight?

lots of changes to LI 2019. who is still around and who isn't as A or better. It's not about who's best but who is around and going where.

Express - 2 LI teams



Where is everyone else going - buzz worthy
Outlaws
Revolution
Sting
Empire
Bluefish

Will they have a team
Team LI?
Legacy?
All Greys?
True Blue?

yeah sure and the Legacy program, igloo program and TB program had some pretty impressive names and look at them. its all smoke and mirrors. just ask parents if they like a program and if it is well run. Also ask did their kids get playing time and were they coached well

good luck to all and keep it positive
