you got lucky, pure luck!

Rules is rules! Can't cry about the "loosened" age bracket when everyone is subject to the same restriction - no one received any special treatment over anyone else.

plus these are grade based tournaments, not U brackets

Whose going to Florida for [lacrosse]'s this year? FCA 2020 will be there.

You mean the cheating (because you are not good enough to compete at your own aga) bracket?

I think Long Island is one of the few places where ethics are still important to most.

that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are

I would agree that an ethics class may be in order here for some club directors and coaches.

How did they add two 2019s? Did these kids hold back?

Call them what you want - bottom line is, the teams didn't set the tourney rules. There is no argument you can come up to refute that, so please don't bother.

are you sure the teams didnt have ANYTHING to do with the dates. Just like US lacrosse wont define levels by DOB because some within US lacrosse MAY have family or friends which benefits its loose interpretation..

There is one other thing they lack.....class

Well, if you are anything like the crabs, you have two versions of the team. One is used when age is restricted, the other is a free for all. I think Long Island is one of the few places where ethics are still important to most. That is why it is particularly upsetting to see some coaches taking the easy way out an reclassing their own kids! Too bad it won't help. Karma[/quote]

Everything is subject to influence, I suppose - that's in every aspect of life, can't avoid it.

And what you lack is Balls. The kids work harder and longer and earn their wins. Then you come on here and say that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Really? Longer and hatder? That is the most rediculus thing I have heard yet! The only ones lacking balls are the ones playing down cause they are not good enough to play in their own age group. So sad their parents didn't believe in them!

I think [lacrosse]'s is a wast of time and money. Not worth the time or money. My opinion.

No one said they didn't earn their wins. Some people look at a 30-0 win as a tribute to talent and hard work. Others look at a 30-0 win where starters were in most of the game as a classless, unsportsmanlike travesty that should never happen in youth sports.

From what I've heard, it could have been 50-0, who are you to decide. They play clean and with great skill. You should let your son watch to see what he can also achieve.

Any win will never mean much when you do it by cheating. Play fair and earn respect the right way!

Let the other kids play. All ego on the coaches part. I coach and my kid will pull himself out early and ask coaches to put in other kids. Tells me to let the 7,8,9 mids play attack. Thats class. Its not the MLL. Knock it off. You can shorten the bench in tight games but cmon Crush. Don't ever [lacrosse] about Crabs, ever. Your antics are just as bad. Our team tells other teams to bring older kids in to make games more competitive. And you play a flipping zone, not some of the time, ALL the time. Zone since they were 10 years old.

Now you are just making stuff up. Too funny. Try again in a few days. But in the meantime write "I will not make stuff up about kids" 100 times.

Mother Theresa of the lax.... You and your kids and staff should have been front and center with the Pope! I hear Francis plays Middie.

All this banter means nothing. Crabs 16 year old 2020 players will eat up all of Long Island!

If that is the case, you should prepared your boys for it. If your boys can't comprehend, then are your boys really ready to play at that level? I'm not a crush parent;however, if you prepare properly you should be able to handle. Or maybe, your coaching skills aren't up to par.....

I've said it many times, you lacrosse people(parents) are quite the p%##y's. If you can't beat them, just complain.

Yep not up to par. Yeah kids are so good because of coach. Give me Oneil and watch how good of a coach I become. We would rarely ever lose a game with Oneil playing attack. Lacrosse is the only sport where you flipping crazies want want to let the coach take all the credit. All these top programs taking credit for kids going D1. Joke. You got D1 kids in your program. I'll give you credit for good branding and recruiting. You think js made oneil, danenza, schwirtzer? Teach them lessons. What lessons. Freaking crazy. Play your team then.

Using names now??? JS is an unbelievable coach with the best players in the entire country. Crush has proved through this past tryouts that they are now adding depth. They are the best team that just got better...

Are you a parent of a player that is upset? The parents know exactly what they are getting. Its out there in the open so please take the nonsense somewhere else. The fact the kids can play a zone at their age is a testament to the quality coaching and training. In regard to a name being used its in a good light and no one is attacking the player so we as moderators let it go.

Wow. Have not been on here in a long time. Would love it if you people would put your name along with your issues. You all hide your complaints behind the Anonymous. Crush does this, Crush does that, Crabs are *#%^^$#. It is hilarious. Parents of boys this age? You should be busy. No?

What's your name?

Total waste, generally no competition for hotbed teams

If you are going to Florida, there are so many better things to do than play lacrosse. Agree on the waste of time and money.

Plus trips w 3d and the NLF Prospect showcases for this age

Please just tell me you will watch this closely. Many names or the "illusion" of names have been on display here "in good light" then before you know it.. it has gone over the line.

Karma will come back to bite the Crush. The fact that the coach/program are only focused on 5 kids will doom them soon. Those kids are very good, but they clearly have no regard for developing all the kids on the team.

Well I guess we will know in about a year when the commitments start coming out. In the meantime they will keep beating all of the 2020 teams and most of the 2019 teams.

have you seen how many of the teams have been doing it over the years, Developing? They recruit better players.

The kids on that team are very nice kids, with great work ethic. Not only are the players very skilled, but there are many top academic students on the team as well. I am not sure why you think any of them would be better off somewhere else. They will all go on to play HS ball- most, with good lax schools. They will attend recruiting camps, showcases with the team and prospect camps as individuals and will have some very good coaches working on their behalf. They will be just fine, as will many of the other very good players on A and B teams through out the island. I wish the best to all the boys that represent our island. I just wish others would as well.

how much scholarship money is handed to an incoming freshman lacrosse player?

Well said.

It's not all about scholarships (that don't really exist) - I think anyone who is paying attention knows that. Anyway, the OP was making it sound like the rest of the team would be left behind at the expense of the core kids. I would imagine that any kid who is good enough to make the team would be a top player on any other team.

Truth is there's probobly only 1 serious recruit on Crush. They are a very well trained team that plays well together. No one outstanding except for that one kid I'm sure we all know who.
