BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024-4th Grade Fall 2015 Summer 2016

So I am bored at work and just read up on age on the USA lacrosse pages. Pardon as I am sure this has been covered before. Has it always been a Aug 31 cutoff for age based tournaments? Thanks


U12:

All players must be 11 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition.

yes but tournaments regularly stray from USlax guideline and pick arbitrary doubts like 6/1 or even 5/1. allows for more holdbacks to be eligible

I would think the later date would be more applicable to that? All ridiculous. Set a date and move one

Easy ways of doing things and not so easy. USA Lacrosse has chosen the hard way. Make it by year born and move in.

Agreed

So what teams are doing what tournaments this Spring and Summer?

How times have changed to see so many Moms obsessed with their kids youth lacrosse teams. Do they get this twisted about the football or basketball teams ? Why not ?

we should all boycott laxfest after last years BS

Are you French ? What is this "We" ? Stay on LI and let them come to us. 4th grade buddy. Enough kids playing here back home .

but you are going to go anyway. Lemmings

is this english? i'm slow, can someone translate this for me?

Lol! Hysterical. Felt this way for the last few yrs and just having a conversation about it with someone. It is getting worse.

Parents in many cases have ruined youth sports. While it is expeced that back in the day if a parent even went to a game (mine hardly never did and [lacrosse] they hardly even knew where i was. Cmon old timers we all know how it was back in the day) and if there was some tension it would typically be from a loud mouth ego crazy dad. No disrespect as I love all the moms who commit their time but moms today have definitely been more involved. I saw a mom back in fhe fall arguing with a ref about the rules of a face off and a violation. I almost fell off the bleaches as she had no clue what she was talking about.

My wife and I talk about it and both agree. In all honestly there is nothing worse in youth sports than a crazy and overly involved mom on the sidelines. And approaching coaches. Yes you are ruining the game. If you are cray cray than stay home! Please let us crazy involved dads handle it!!!!

Who are some of the top 2024 teams (either nationally or just in the Tri-State area)?

On this thread? Do you really want to spend three pages talking about the Wolfpack and Taz again? Boring.

WP
Mad lax
Bethesda
Taz

madlax is definitely in this group. Every year group is different for each club - and Madlax 2024 is VERY good - and I think - like WP - has never lost to anyone other than Bethesda - and has beaten Bethesda several times too.

WP
Bethesda



Everyone else

So then it's
1. Madlax
2.Bethesda
3. WP

WP and Bethesda only played twice WP won in pool play and lost in championship to Bethesda.

Madlax daddy, stop embarrassing yourself.

So let me guess you think WP is 1 over both teams even though WP lost in championship so that means Bethessa earns that spot over them, and WP has never played Madlax who has Beaten Bethesda. Now I know why WP has the "rep" it has. Great thanks buddy.. Lol

All of the ranking nonsense is just speculation until the teams get on the field and play the games.

WP "rep" is fabricated by the haters out there (and there are many). The team is legit, no arguing that.

Does it really matter? The kids were 9 last year and each team won a game.

Any parent who has the time/inclination to debate whether their son's 4th grade team is the best in the country should be banned from this country.

#trump

Any teams playing Blatant this spring?

WHERE IS THE WOLFPACK PLAYING THIS SUMMER? JUST CURIOUS

2023

You hear that they play 2023 but beach lax played 2024, lax fest 2024, Nxt 2024. Top talented great team and no bash at all. but play 2024 in the real tourneys, 2023 in b ones.

Whatever....how is JA doing over at WP? Still yelling, screaming, intimidating, threatening, cursing and singling out players? Hearing people arent happy there but still cant believe parents let it go on. Guess they dont want to have their kid cut from the almighty WP. Or maybe they stick around and wait until the directors can him. Days are most likely numbered given how 91 works.

You have no clue. 91 likes championships. That's what he brings to the table. His coaching style (loud, abrasive and degrading) is the same as JS, and you know he's not going anywhere. If your kid doesn't play for them,be happy; but no need to bring this useless trash post on here. It's all been said before.

How many new players did the pack pick up this year? I heard there were a few. Were they Taz kids?

All I see in these statements is Jealousy. Your son is a B player, be happy because it seems like your a C Dad. All the lies you spin about this coach and the parents\players are all BS. Call it what it is. YOUR BOY CANT HANG. PERIOD

True

True

any opinion young guns tourney- MD or big 4 in pa?

Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that if you ask me.

Keep stirring that pot legacy dad... Too bad there's no points for second place.

Sounds like someone's kid didn't make the cut...

Exactly
