Re: Tryouts Ranger12 #180348 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Taking my 2020 to the Bluefish tryouts this year. I like the coaching in this group and the practice location. Also like what i am hearing from parents who played last year, and yes they start out with we struggled, but everyone i know who played for them last year is returning for tryouts - i think thats a good sign.

Re: Tryouts Ranger12 #180404 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A where does a serious 2024 go to play lacrosse? I am very serious about him playing serious game of lacrosse with other serious kids with serious parents. I would like to take all the fun out of playing a game and give him a serious lesson on how hard the real world is because in all seriousness at 10 years old he needs to get more serious. I am serious. Like Reply Quote

Re: Tryouts Ranger12 #180421 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A lol. your crazy man. I don't think Blue Fish is out there trying to win the Dicks National championship... they have it in persepctive and its an outlet for your kid to player summer lax. its not cut throat 3-4 day a week practice and only the stars play. If your son is one of those studs there are teams and programs out there for you 9t1, exprass etc. Like Reply Quote

Re: Tryouts Anonymous #180449 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I can tell you from experience that 365lax is not the way to go. Total waste of time. Everyone on the team had an awful experience this past year. Nothing like seeing you sons team get beat down game after game, tourney after tourney. Coaches showing up 10-15 min before the tourney is supposed to start. No info about schedules, practices, games, etc until parents starting emailing about what was going on. If all that, and more, sounds good, then 365lax is for you Like Reply Quote

Most of the rest have too much BS and ask $$ than what you get. Can't really speak towards the clubs that are suffolk run but in nassau, i would stay away from all but the 2 mentioned above. I hear a lot of talk about Recon lately and when we played at Shootout for Soldiers, it seemed like one of their teams was always playing. I spoke to one of the parents and them seem to like it. They seem to offer more than just lacrosse. Anyone else have some feedback. Thanks Father of a Recon 2023 player. I was happy. A few people said they would like to see more practices but I was good with what they did. The winter crossfit indoor training was fun for my kid. The kids got along well, no parent drama, they played great. He will be at this Saturdays tryouts. Good luck How many times a week leadinf up to season season and then inseason did they do that you were good with? How many kids were on the team? Did they have any specialized training? Anything you wish they did better? Did he play in any other club teams before this or was it your sons first time. Like Reply Quote

Re: Tryouts Anonymous #181112 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Marist and the members of the MAAC have entered into an agreement to grow the MAAC. It dealt with the number of scholarships, coaches salaries, Full time assistants and the minimum salaries for them. It has been slowly integrated over the last few years. That is why the level of play in the MAAC has risen and why the MAAC has won the play in game the last two seasons. Times they are a changing. Like Reply Quote
