" Build your own team " so thats how its done not by contacting players from other teams for a "Tryout". Please the Turtles have been built by scouring the other teams for players out there and selling them on the "Turtle Way ". Does the sell include being berated and cursed at by a coach who appears to have been the last kid icked in the school yard

From the Turltes Website. Maybe the coaching staff should print a copy of this and bring it with them. LOL.

The Coaches and Parents of the Turtles are committed to offering the very best instruction, training, and competitive opportunities to the boys on the team. We adhere to and teach the following principles of US Lacrosse and believe this is the best way to Honor the Game.

•Respect your coaches, Teammates, opponents, officials and the fans.
•Compete with heart, honor, and hustle.
•Honor the traditions of the game and respect the ancestors of the sport.
•Have fun, be passionate, and adhere to the spirit of the game both on and off the field.

I care about everything so if you choose not to, go plant a tree or walk a museum, and stay out of our way or you'll get run over. I bet you vote for Obama.

JD is the owner of Lacrosse Unlimited and coaches his son on this team. He has everything at his finger tips, including equipment, coaches and money ....

Thanks for the revelation but your point is what...not ever team has the same resources and we must make everything equal? Apply the same attention to the state of our economy and gov takeover with IT'S power grab and leave youth lacrosse alone.

2016 orange have played up and beat multiple 2015 teams, including Express Blue and White 2015. In addition played a JV team from Texas, need to know anything else !!

wasn't making a statement - was answering an earlier question asking who was JD that was being mentioned in posts

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. How dare any Express parents criticize the behavior of any other coaches or parents until they examine the behavior of the 2017 team at the fl$ tournament last Sunday!! Not only were the parents inebriated from too many alcoholic beverages but they were actively taunting and bereating opposing players directly. They were also screaming to take out players "at the knees". What a terrible sportsmanship example and just decency. Do they really destroy the knees of any 12 or 13 year old boy? It was so bad the boys on Express were apologizing to the opposition on the field.

Now, now....some things you are saying are true, and parents should reconsider their actions on sidelines and between games.

Other things you mention are not true...

You know the difference, don't embellish

Yes, I was there

Interesting that 2016 Orange is not playing in JV B at the Maverik tourney this weekend. Lets see what you have to say when the Turtles beat 2016 Orange at the Maverik tournament this weekend? Nice that you are looking ahead at JV B&C but you better be watching what's coming up behind you - you might not like what you see.

Delicious

Turtles would win that in a rout - lets hope we see that matchup.

Lets see how JD will embarrass himself this weekend in front of his express peers. Should be interesting when they start knocking around his precious turtles.

Enough already! Turtles are 2017 and this thread is 2016. Stick to it! Until the Turtles start winning the 2016 summer brackets then you can mention it. Until then they are just like every other 2017 who try and play up and play well but don't get over the top. So go back to your 2017 thread!

be careful what you wish for. The Turtles have lost 2 times to this Orange team

nobody is knocking that team around. btw how about asking the kids who play on the barracudas and they will tell you that they have alot of friends on the turtles and likewise with the turtle kids. these kids have been playing together since like second or third grade so for an adult to suggest that crap is stupid. and the parents on both sides respect each other too much so everyone should know that its an outsider writing this garbage. probably 91 or a disgruntled parent upset that his kid isnt on one of these elite teams.
