Get some sack and call MC yourself. Guessing by all you exclamation points this is a mom. (Of a middie.)

This team sounds like a hornets nest of back stabbing parents.

That exactly correct. If any of these morons had older kids that have been through it before they would know. Most kids don't play travel lax in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. Once the real kids without crazy parents start playing, the field levels out dramatically. Yes, bandits are tops and probably will remain there because a lot of parents will play their kids out of position so they can go to Denver (although only 12 kids will realistically get any tv time), but the rest is a crap shoot. Badgers, S2S, Warriors, and Igloo will all be different teams next year. Some will lose their best players and some won't bring enough new talent in to compete. Either way, all of those teams are going to be grinding it out and beating each other up for the next few years. Good competitive lax never made a kid worse, so they should all worry less about being on the best team and more about finding the team that suits their son's need best.

Which Outlaws team will be playing in Lax Clash this weekend?

Outlaws Black

Call the Devil himself? MC destroys more good teams than not. He's seriously the worse lacrosse coach out there. He misses tons of practices and has other people run them. He promises the world and doesn't deliver. Always worried about getting paid on the side. He is not the answer.

Exactly. Bandits area A team, Badgers are a B team.

I Bandits represent what an A level team is, then it's only proper to tag the Badgers as a B team. They don't come consistently close to beating them. They had closer games in previous years and never lost by such large margins. Bandits improved on their status of being an A team and the Badgers slipped to a B team.

BM you are going to get carpel tunnel with the amount of typing you do on this site!

99% of Express hate is guess who ... BM

That makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up. Moron.

So to be clear, judging by the logic of some of the idiots on this board, there is only one A team. The Bandits. The rest are B, C, D, E and F teams. It doesn't matter if you play in the A (or AA) bracket and win games. If you're not the Bandits, you can't be an A team. Good to know.


Some people are so incredibly stupid that it makes my head hurt.

Exactly correct. That's exactly why he won't coach again on the grade level.

Plainview and Farmigdale

Another tough tourney for Empire Green. Good luck with those town teams. And you wonder why people don't take that team seriously?

Depending how good he is. He could make the select team. They are a good b+ team. Right below the top 4ish teams. If he can do the basics should be able to make black. Seemed like a decent group of parents.

Select is a competitive A team. Just because they are not a top 4 team doesn't make them a B team. Black is a competitive B team. Good place to strengthen skills and increase IQ.

Really!!?? You must have some vendetta or are threatened by Empire Green. The Bracket is a mix of travel and town teams....Does the team control that??? NO. So get off of your pedestal you moron! Apparently the team has made a home between those 6 inches between your ears!

I agree. I more meant a notch below that top group. Good skilled group. Only saw them once.

does any team in this age have a coach that was a goalie? frustrating to not have much attention paid to that position other than 5-10 minutes a practice. getting your own trainer starts to get expensive. thanks

No one is threatened by that team. It's a shame because they're not bad, but the organization has no faith that they can compete. Maybe they can, maybe they can't. No one will ever know.

Ahhh from the words of an ex Empire parent LOL

Explain THOSE town teams in the bracket? 3V plays as a travel team as well as the LI Tomahawks.

Warriors coach is a goalie. Last season he took a kid that never played the position before and turned him into a good goalie. So good that the Bandits took him. This season.

You sir, are threatened....otherwise you wouldn't care what games/tournaments this team is in.

Sounds more like a current Empire parent who's upset that they were fooled into thinking they were a legit club.

They are town teams. Good ones, yes. But still town teams. 3V was probably the 3rd best team in their PAL division and they've since lost their second best player. That's the level of Empire. They are like a good PAL team.

And your son plays for who????
You are doing a lot of chirping.

Pump the breaks a bit. Even for you you are getting a little ridiculous.

I would think their roster is already set though right? hate to just give that club my tryout $.

And yet these town teams register themselves and know that they will be playing against Travel teams. A good way to keep the ball in the stick all season for a PAL team or a PAL team that only wants there players to play for them. You seem to know a lot about Empire, more than a PAL team

One of the few towns that can pull it off. That's why they have such s dominant varsity program

So if you say you do not have a single reclassed player on your team, what do you call players that are old for their grade and repeated a grade. Either you do not know your team or you are giving false information about program. My son played with one of your players in the past and I know for a fact that you have older kids on your team. The player is a 2023 but is older than your age appropriate 2023.

Looking to improve a few positions, I believe.

Jackass! They do have reclassed players on that team and are very good at scouting other teams talents!

There is a lot of talent on the 2023 Recon team.

Looking for a Nassau based, or atleast close to the boarder, program for my son. Any info would be helpful and appericated, Practices schedules, practice locations, team dynamics, etc. The teams in the area seem to be
-Recon
-Hitman
-24 Lacrosse
-Icon
-TrueBlue
-igloo

24 is new.
My son played against Recon. They were good.
Hitmen have 50 practices per year. Good if you want to play a lot of lax.
Igloo is locked up and has insiders.

Empire green should change their name to Empire B
