Here is some feedback. don't have high school coaches on sidelines or have any part in this. If you look at kids who made it to second round. most are from 3 schools. seems alittle odd and suspicious

You cannot be an adult.

Clarify "no coaches coaching teams playing"

That sounds more like a recommendation than feedback. You do realize this event is a brilliant money maker for the HS coaches. I'm surprised they don't charge much more to tryout. A bargain compared to UA, with pretty much the same level of colleges coaches watching on the sidelines! And if you haven't realized how biased and political Lax is by now, you will be in for a lot more disappointment down the line. Tell your son to keep practicing, hold his head high, Keep seeking opportunities to showcase his skills, and don't blame others, although I know how badly we want to! Hopefully his time will come! Good luck!

this event is run by the high school coaches association, not allowing HS coaches on the sideline would be like saying club coaches should not be allowed on sidelines of their own clubs tryout - this is a great event that they put together to make up for losing the empire team tryouts and they get a ton of college coaches to the event.

You can tell your kid all the cliche stuff"keep working" "do the right thing" etc but if its a fixed event how can you not tell your kid that also. If he plays a position and does everything right and a player who plays the same position and at the same tryout played horrible yet makes the team/next round because his coach is on the sideline campaigning for him. The kids are at an age where its obvious and it is disappointing to them. Its is very obvious that some coaches have more pull than others. There are also the coaches who will be coaching the final game that get to pull along a few of their undeserving players.

There were a few teams that had no coach coaching them.

I agree 100%. Been though this. My son was passed over a number of times after clearly playing better than the kids chosen over him. There was always some shenanigans going on with the evaluators. All I can say is cream will rise to the top, and he is doing fantastic now. Headed to a top school with a scholarship much better than some of the kids who were built up by their coaches. Hang in there!

Hey guys!!?? This event is no more or less fixed than any of the so called elite cub showcases that kids get pushed into by directors. If you don't play for the right club or high enough team you don't get to go. My son has been to prospect days or tournaments where a kid is wearing a maverick showtime helmet he got when he attended that couldn't play 3rd line midfield on his HS team. They are all political. It's what lacrosse has become.

Any early predictions for Nassau A for 2017?

Not hard to predict a 3 horse race.

Who's ur 3rd horse ? LoL

Port has to be considered up there ..hard to put any goals in against them starting next year

Did someone really put an individual's name down

I predict that Massapequa will be vilified on BOTC for having their houses too close together and one poster will go on and on about watching out for Port because their fifth grade has a pretty good attack and should be starting on varsity while Syosset coach should be tar and feathered and the parents are rude to the clerk in the bagel store-

1) Mass
2) Syo
3)
4)
5)
6)
7) Farm
8)
9) Port
10) everybody else

If silly posts on BOTC were goals, Port would be NYS Champs.

Oh no! Quick put a face on WM! That right there spells trouble for them!

Victor wins 7-5. Repeat as state champions.

Victor won with incompetent officials. Watch the replay calls were terrible. WM played an awesome game despite the bad officiating holding victor to 7.

What was Port's JV Team record this year?

I assume 8-0 and no goals scored against....
