True Blue is another good option. I would go to the one that is closest to where your live or where your boy has friends playing.

I'll have to reach out to them and confirm.

I'll have to reach out to them and confirm. Because the Vipers went from having teams in all grades a few years ago to a having total of 2 teams in the entire organization this year. That's not a trend that you would want for a prospective travel lacrosse group. The guys who run Recon are solid, honest guys. If your son is an average or slightly above average player right now, that's the place.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Funny how teams are posting try outs and not listing who is coaching, prices or what you get and people just sign up. Where else other than this crazy lacrosse world do people pay $100 in hopes of being granted the right to pay an unknown amount of hard earned money for unknown an amount of goods and unknown quality of services. Buyer beware. If this information is not posted with the tryout fee you may want to pass on that team.

I guess that is the result of the World Series. Why would they need to do that?/ Wasnt their problem that they played with a 2021 age team against a team that had several 2020 players brought in due to May 1 deadline of world Series. Doesnt Igloo just need to make up a special team of players for World Series and keep their age based teams in tack for league play and normal tournaments ? Most tournaments dont have a May 1 deadline. Even tho many tournaments go by grade only which in itself leads to many shenanigans with the age of players.

Many of those boys are big already. The WSYL opponent was mostly 2020s (got that directly from a parent from the champion team). Next year WYSL will most likely be 9/1.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Being as good as Igloo has been for as long as they have losing a couple of games doesn't mean they are in need of a major overhaul/. Who exactly are they going to overhaul with? where are the new studs coming from? It makes sense that they may be able to improve with a handful of players picked off of another team but not major changes. More likely that they may be seeing an exodus of players. It is more likely they are making changes out of necessity because they will have spots to fill

Anonymous Unregistered A	I would hope that's the case and not that Igloo is outing kids right as the recruiting years begin. That would not speak well for the organization and I would guess not resonate well to the younger grades.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Igloo could not even make it to the championship game at NXT. Blaze blew out the team that blew out Igloo. Blaze peaked in July and Igloo in June. That was shown at NXT. Too bad Igloo could not play Bllaze at NXT. That day was not going against Blaze no matter who they played.
