Very nice turnout for the supplemental tryouts at the Igloo camp last night, saw about 30 kids there! Agreed. Ton more than 2024. People must know there is an issue there.

Was anyone at the 24 tryout? How was the turnout? Missed the first but thinking about the 2nd session. My son tried out for 2025 which had an ok turn out. 2024 had a ton of kids.I would say for the other other grades they had maybe 2-8 kids tops. I was told, and you never know what is true, that the coach for 2023 has decided to stay with Bluefish 2024 instead of 24 since they already anticipate no 2023 or 2025 team. The cost raise from what was promised to us by Filacamo last year $350 included uni, helmet for the winter league and 1 spring tourney is now $1600 for a similar schedule. Doesn't jive for me. I feel like I got bait and switched. If you've been around travel lacrosse at all you would know $350 is not realistic for a team to charge and provide all of the things you mentioned. Maybe when they started they did not have a realistic handle on cost and truly wanted to keep cost down but once the numbers were ran it was simply not sustainable. Come on $350 for: 1. Helmet $200 2. Uni/swag $70 3. Practice facility $150 per kid 4. Winter League $80 per kid 5. Spring tournament $65 per kid You can say what you want but do you really expect a organization to run at a deficit come on. Why are you on the 2023 forum if your son tried out for 2025? Since you have all this insite, and since it seems to be who your comments are centered around, i assume your son plays for levittown too. Relax. Someone can give an opinion without you jumping in. He was there an was responding to the turnout question, and added something about the 2023 coach.

Your opinion is based on misinformation you get while drinking with Ltown boys. Can you say "sour grapes". I guess you troll botc when your bored in the cage you work at in East Meadow. Have a nice day bluefish daddy!

You are posting just to stir the pot. What this site really needs is more unreliable info being posted and throwing peoples names in the mad. Poat facts and sources,r Just my opinion though.

Very nice turnout for the supplemental tryouts at the Igloo camp last night, saw about 30 kids there! Any of the team going to follow the coach to his next team? Nope. Entire team staying.

I hear it's either 91 Warriors or Legacy. Either way; those teams will be much better under his style of coaching. Either 91-War or Leg.

If entire team is staying why are you having tryouts? So there are no open spots? Glad I wasted my time last night.

I will explain a bit for all the bashers .I have a 2025 a 2023 and a 2020 so I look at all the boards. I spoke to one of your 24 coaches who advised me of the possibility of your 2023 coach SS leaving. I went to the tryout because it was billed as a more cost effective club which it isn't. I didnt say it wouldnt be good nor did I say I expected anyone to take a loss on a business. Not every comment made is a bash. I stated what I saw and clearly noted that what I was told may or may not have been true. If it isnt true then I'm glad he's staying for you he seems like a nice guy. People need to relax.

24 team was sponsored last year because they couldn't ask parents from bluefish to pay for a second team. At $1600 you are not going to get players from other A programs that were guests last year and if you are paying that you certainly don't want those boys guest playing while your boy sits. Not going to work.

As a "Recon Daddy" I'll say this . I am very happy with this years progress. We are a first year team that kicked some butt. We were a B+ level but progressing. You can call it name dropping if you want but I was happy with the coaching, happy with game day support, happy with the parents, happy with training.The parents are all fun. My one critique would be that I would like to see more practices. Thanks for the info - Definitely seems to be a lot of Recon parents and/or coaches in here hyping it up. Glad the ones that posted said they like Recon, but still have constructive criticism, hopefully they use it. Seems several other people also posted about issues with practices being scares and irregular. Does seem to be a constant theme though of new startup teams, Recon similar to Bluefish and a few others, dont practice often. Hard to depict if a programs is just about the money "money whores" or really want to focus on the kids development, in this day in age. Dont know how you have a competitive travel team, though, with that little of practices. Practice is key to players/team development, unless like other are saying, mostly Levitown kids, so they have already played together. Bluefish show two coaches and recon three coaches are listed on there site for Recon 2023, but someone said there were two only actually there. Anyone know if these coaches are staying, are they actual coaches or parent coaches?

Similar Schedule????? This year 7 Tourneys plus all the above mentioned plus additional training plus additional equipment. If team 24 isn't for you then shut your mouth and move on. You clearly have an agenda. Are you one of those Thawk tools starting you own team and feel you own your town team kids. Lincoln freed the slaves so kids can play where they want.

Because a team cost $1600 they don't have "A" players. Are you serious??? My son played on a $600 town travel team and an play with any of these so called "A" player. He regularly schooled these "A" players from 91, Igloo, Express so I don't want to hear about $ dictating a players skill level. If you follow that thought pattern then you are a FOOL.

BM will pull kids from 91,S2S and HB. No doubt. There will be alot of shuffling this year with this grade. With igloo coach jumping ship, the nonesense with HB, BM coaching with Legac-y and new teams popping up. Kids should go check out these other tryouts.

He's the Ex Express Honey Badger coach who basically built that team from ground up. He didn't coach last year because of some issues with existing coach AJ. Different coaching styles/philosophy. He's supposedly coaching 2023's with Zummo over at Legecy.

But no one wants your psychopath coaching style ruining their team.
