Amazing how people try to discredit others without any knowledge. Bengals tryouts are not free. They are $50. My son played on the 2021 team last year. 100% of those kids were at tryouts again. Yeah... Really terrible experience. Ask anyone from that team if there kid did not improve. They all did Bc it come down to who is coaching your kid. Not chasing the bumper sticker so dad can feel proud that his son is on the third team of a bigger organization and paying three times the amount. If you have nothing positive to say... Then you are not thinking long enough. Stop the negativity

I hope he will be back with the 2021. At last tryout no one was moving on. They all were returning if they made the team. Thanks for your interest

We just got the call from Tru Blue for the B team. My son has been waiting for a week and couldn't wait any longer. We were just about to accept with an A club but now we're excited to be on True Blue B.

That means you're either lying or an idiot

jealous??

LOL! Nobody on earth is jealous of your true blue B invite. Sucker! Please let us all know how that goes. I mean the A team can't compete with B teams which makes the B team glorified PAL

Does fl$ have a 2023 team? Are they any good? Seems like they are having a very hard time with their younger teams....

They are lying. TB doesnt have enough kids for 2 teams. A lot of the "A" kids they thought they had are going to other clubs. So they are back to digging to the bottom of the barrel. They just haven't told any of the parents yet.

Let's talk about some positive things:
1) there are some new 2023 teams started by between clubs.
2) there are new clubs this year.
3) lacrosse is growing.
4) are any 2023 club teams still holding tryouts?

So a watered down product is good for Lacrosse?

You're right. We should talk about how igloo brought in 2 new coaches and a bunch of kids left because the coaches brought in their own players who are not better. We could also talk about how Express through BM under the bus And made his assistant coach now the head with very little experience. I am sure those crazy parents will want him out next when the Bandits crush them again. Then you have the outlaws who decided to make a select team this year without telling the parents so when they said yes to the black team they were really on the B team? Nice move. Last years Black team wasn't good enough to make a select team so why bother? And lastly you could talk about the best team the Bandits who will all be burnt out by 9 th grade!!

You forgot about Legacy not even having enough players to field two teams and BARELY having enough kids for one. They were bad last year and just got worse. I'm starting to think the big name teams are a waste of time. How many teams have the same full coaching staff from last season? How many teams legitimately improved? I'm sure kids having more options for teams is a good thing. Some say watering down, but I disagree. If coaches stayed with their teams and teams stayed together they will be dominant. There are a few, but the number is decreasing annually. Everybody is looking for the big payout.

I also agree with more options. I'm tired of owners saying they will get your kid into college, but pay us $2,000 every year until high school ends. Guess what? the money hungry owners are full of sh**. I want my son to be coached correctly with the right skill development and lax IQ. If he makes it to D1 great, otherwise he's going to a great college, he'll be a starter, and then he'll get a great career! You can now find these clubs and coaches for under 2k, and your son will play more lacrosse than the high price bumper sticker,shiny uniform/nice tent club. Do your research on the new 5th grade teams, you'll be amazed at some great coaching that's out there, and it's not Express, 91, or Igloo.

Sounds like a cheater justifiying the slimy ways of fellow cesspool dwellers. Who taught you guys about morals? It must be a tough life when your only success in life is a picture on a website showing your fantastic tournament win done thru cheating in full view of and with complicity of 10 year olds. Way to go, failure.

Obvious isn't it? Shore to Shore has same coach as Igloo did last year. Igloo had 2022 kids play on their 2023 team last year. Coach takes same older kids with him to Shore to Shore. Dirty. But not a mystery.

Every single player on Shore to Shore is 2023. The 1 player on Igloo last year that was a 2022 is not on Shore to Shore...

Are there any decent organizations out there? If so which ones?!

Did that one 2022 player go back to Igloo 2023? Did they take other 2022s?
