BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2022-6th Grade Fall 2015 Summer 2016

Sounds like you need a hug !

United was not the King of the Mountain today at Lehigh, but lost two one goal games. Smash & Empire took care of business at the Mustang.

looks like the teams are pretty even. Its going to be a very good competitive year for the top 2022 teams.

So says the loser

Who is the best team in Philadelphia? Sons? Mesa Fresh?

It was funny today at Fall Brawl watching JC on the sidelines yelling at the kids. Is he going to keep showing up or was this one of those drive by's??

so says smash

Freedom by a long shot. However no phillybteam will be able to hang with the big boys. Philly lacrosse is very diluted right now. 20 teams.

Could someone please inform the Igloo B team they are not an A team. When they play like the AA Elite Igloo and have the sportsmanship like AA, then you can say A. It is a lot of money for a B team and the kids chanting nonsense after a win is disgusting. Not a scorer loser hear, but listening on the sidelines the parents describing their team as the AA team? Not a chance and not in the same class.

Hawks blow out Mesa rising sons and orange crush today. Maryland lacrosse is top in the east coast.

Actually there are like 28 teams in a 30 mile radius right now, very diluted. But when it matters they will most likely be Sons. Sons 8th grade team dismantled Freedom easily. If some of those teams ever combine it could be lights out for the rest of the east coast. Most of the philly teams eventually funnel into a few programs that compete with the best in the country. Parents will see that there will be some clubs that will separate themselves with the training piece and very soon you will see that club dominate at all levels.

haha yeah right, as soon as skill and IQ matter freedom done. At 6th grade you can get by on talent, Freedom not teaching the kids how to play. Go watch their offense, no flow, its a mess. We left last year and will never go back.

I think everyone would be shocked if anyone on Igloo B said they were an AA team after being together for two months. Many of those parents are from last year's Jesters team and it doesn't sound like them.

What tournament ???

Don't be shocked when people justify paying 3k playing for a B team.

Not a smash parent....but keep stiring

On the east coast.

either way you are calling out people as losers for saying teams are competitive. who else would say 'so says the loser' if it wasn't one of the teams that just played. you are owning up to saying it and protesting you are not a smash parent. so says the parent who is actually the loser.

nothing wrong with paying 3K for playing B. lets just cut to the chase and call all the top teams AA so the second team can be called A. igloo A competes fine with the top A teams. if they are AA so is smash united express along with the top Maryland teams and so on. whats the difference. play on the team that fits your kid and it no body's business who pays what for what. unfortunately the sideline banter filters down to the kids and they are the ones who are made to feel inadequate saying they are on a B team. its ridiculous. if your kid is playing competitive games and getting better, you are getting your money's worth.

Wasn't me. Just saying it wasn't a smash parent. Not big on name calling it screams insecurity.

you have no idea if it was a smash parent or not. Whoever it was is the real loser. I'm big on calling people out. Its not insecurity its called accountability.

That's where you are wrong in my opinion.. You are worried about Igloo kids calling themselves B players and they would feel inadequate. I guess failure or motivation is not something you want to teach your kid. I guess you believe all kids should get trophys at the end of a season for participation. Keep telling your kid he is great without motivating him could possibly set him up for failure .Yes they are young but at what point do you start to let him know they have work to do to get better. You can't keep praising them and painting a false picture. It use to be A and B until parents didn't want their own ego to be bruised and that's the truth. Igloo B is a B and like the others should be called that by kids and parents

Agreed totally on the Igloo B comments. Call me dumb or cheap. I would rather pay 1500 for my son's B team than 3000 for his friends B spot on Igloo B. Enjoy the Igloo helmet wraps. Priceless.

who's wrong. you just stated exactly what the point is of the prior posts.

Nobody from Igloo B pretends that they are an A team. Igloo B has been together for a little over a month. We are happy with the coaching and the amount of lacrosse the kids will get for the amount of money we are spending. Not sure about the chanting, Igloo B played in a tournament yesterday and won three games relatively easily. It was not championship format, it was freezing cold with the wind off the water but it was a fun day. I didn't see any bad sportsmanship by Igloo or any other teams, parents, coaches or kids. Last week Igloo won easily against teams in Princeton and then lost to Outlaws A team. We know exactly where the kids stack up relative to AA teams, A teams, B teams etc.

He doesn't belong in youth lacrosse


Ha Ha !!! saw the same thing, But as muich as i dont like him or his style (it'shy we pulled our kid) He got results. My sons team was up until Cat started yelling and screaming and acting like a crazy person, but as soon as he did the kids responded and came back to win. I can't see the kids responding to it for long. Eventually they will get tired of it.

The parents have to get tired of it too after a while. I'm glad we are gone!!!!!

I saw the same thing vs Hitmen. They legitimately were beating True Blue the whole game mostly with the ex-True Blue kids all while JC was screaming and complaining. The kids that left True Blue or were cut by JC were were very happy they won.

Accountability says the anonymous poster. You can't make this stuff up.

Everyone is anonymous or hadn't you noticed. Some people are very obvious to figure out though.

LI parent here and I think there is the same amount of quality teams in Maryland as LI. LI'S top teams, in no specific order, both 91 teams, Express and Igloo is likely on parity with the MD Stars, Adren, Hawks and Crabs. I think the only team that could break into that group from outside those locations is Laxachusetts. That's based on an eye test. Can't give an opinion on teams I have not seen play.

I'd add Cannons and Rising Sons to that list based on fall ball only.

MD Stars isn't a club. It was an all start team put together

91 Baltimore, Arden Diamondbacks, Hawks, 91 Smash and FCA all playing a round robin in MD this weekend.

And 91 United is still in hiding. Look for their coaches scouting on the sideline.

Regarding the comment about ex-True Blue players. Correction, the kids on Hitmen were NOT cut by JC despite the gossip. They tried out and made it but chose not to return and some never tried out. Sorry, just hate reading inaccurate information. Ok...start bashing! LOL

That's even better that the kids made the True Blue team but didn't want to play for JC or his cronies.

United COME OUT AND PLAAAYYYYYYY!

But still a team. I know because I saw their matching uniforms and helmets. Either way, they are very good.
