igloo is a good team....come on fellas and I'm an express dad

good, average, okay...that's Igloo

Only missomg info here is bethesda didn't even make it to the final in their own spring league. Secondly, how quick we forget that while Bethesda played great and deserved to win the capital championship, is that they lost the last 7 straight to Madlax. Having said that, I agree with the previous post, Madlax, BLC, WP and Taz are all on the same level and are by far the top 4 in the country at this age level. Hopefully they can all play each other again in the fall if possible. Best of the luck the rest of the summer.

Good....then average.....then OK. That is their trajectory. Need some changes there. Starting at the top.

How did Taz do this weekend?

You are correct in that 91 Maryland beat Bethesda 10-5 in Spring league semi-finals (when it counted). However, they did rally from behind and come back to beat 91 MD in Summer Exposure championship 5-4.

Got beat by a 2022 team from Canada, who ended up getting kicked out for cheating than won the tourney with a 7-4 win over Express. Express actually keeped both games close.

Express fogo did great

I'm sure he did but it's a team game and base on games in the fall and summer Express is not to far off from Taz.

Whole team did well but it helps starting off with possession!

LOL!!! I guess outlaws is even closer to tag given they spanked you at your own tristar tourney.

head to head is all that matters...your kids coaches were freaking out when they were down at the half.

Keep telling yourself that.

Didn't Outlaws select lose to Bluefish last week

They did, but bluefish brought in more talented kids to play on sunday in semi final and finals. They beat outlaws and lost to TLI in final. Definitely not the same bluefish team from Saturday games.

Yes and they both lost to Team LI.

And that's why youth lacrosse is crazy

Actually it was the same team, that played better. They figured out how to shut down the face off guy. And started passing the ball instead of trying to take it themselves. They went back to the isos against TLI, and we saw how that ended.

Bluefish did not bring in any different kids, stop the BS. Same team both days. It is fourth grade lacrosse and anything can happen and that's why they play.

Absolutely no doubt that they brought in different kids. It's fine if they want to do that, but they should be honest about it.

Which kid was different? Maybe the visor he got for his birthday, that was supposed to be delivered on Friday didn't show up till late Saturday.

for the record Bluefish did not use different kids at any game this past week.

Wow...it's nice to see the Bluefish actually won some games. Too bad next year 75% of the team will be on 24.

If the Outlaws Select lost to Bluefish, they definitely brought in different kids. Isnt Bluefish mostly Levittown? If so, then they definitely brought in different kids!!

So my son is going to go for a travel team this year. My older daughter plays, so I have been around a bit. He is a solid player, and should be able to make all but the top few. Question is, if he tries out and makes a team early in the process, do they want immediate answers? Even if another team he wants a shot at is later in the month? Is this why boys have been getting earlier and earlier?

Problem a bunch are talking about. Interesting to hear the replies. Wonder how many spots are actually open on some teams, or have been filled already. Murky world of travel lacrosse getting murkier by the day.

Agreed. Some teams hold tryouts & are never going to take any kids on the roster. Some teams are going to lose kids who are going to bounce from club to club in search of the next best thing. I think most want an answer fairly soon after the tryouts (if he makes a team).

What travel teams are you looking at trying out for?

The clubs that have late tryouts will lose out on new talent and switching talent. The clubs with early tryouts will pressure you to say yes within a day or two. Period.

ARE ANY OF THE TOP TEAMS PLAYING THIS WEEKEND?

lots playing in Philly. Taz, WP, Igloo, & Outlaws. Express, TLI, True Blue, Bluefish, ect are all playing Big Time.

The ALL CAPS would make me believe you were just asking about Taz and WP (TOP TEAMS) so I gave you all. I assume that would annoy you.

So when a team gets beat. The new thing is to say the other team cheated. Wow. Bluefish. Played ok. Nothing to brag about But they won its ok to lose. Outlaws. Stop crying. Team LI. Is batter them both of them and it showed those 3 teams ended up they way it should. Team LI - bluefish -outlaws. The end.

NXT will have Taz,WP,Igloo, and Outlaws.

Nxt

It should come down to a WP vs Taz showdown. 2024 Lacrosse at its best.

If your kid is a very good player, they will wait. Otherwise, you need to lock up the spot and pay the fee!

Agree, they will hold your feet to the fire for decisions.

hahah 24, here we go with that again!

brotherly love may be in there , im not a brotherly love parent- but they scared thecrap out of madlax this weekend
