Because they're 8/9 and they have plenty of tournaments close to home. Until Blast beats them 2x, Man is the better team. It's a tough pill to swallow, I'm sure, but it is a fact. You can make all the excuses you want.


All true and I don't disagree. Blast lost 2x and thats that. However, Blast has beaten other teams far more than that and you don't see Blast parents coming in here pounding their chest. Geese, except for one team, was otherwise undefeated all season and you don't see their parents in here pounding their chests.

What you do see is Manhasset parents in here chest pounding after winning one tournament and declaring their team the best on the island. Geese, Blast and Express all played each other multiple times this past year - all competitive, good games. Man 32 one tournament. It's sad really. They spent all that money to buy an expensive house in an expensive neighborhood but couldn't spend the few extra dollars to buy some class to go with it.

You should have stopped after "All true and I don't disagree. Blast lost 2x and thats that." Manhassett is the best because they beat the #2 team both times they played. Get outside and practice with your little Blaster and maybe they'll have better luck next time. By the way, speaking of money, how much is Blast costing you this year? More than 32, that's for sure.

How can any of these people say they are playing for the "best organization" on long island? We played the same tournaments as other teams mentioned here, but in different divisions, brackets, etc? Are you that hard up for reliving the glory days that you're bragging anonymously here?

Different question: how rampant it's cheating in travel lacrosse? I've seen the different teams we played against (we won two off the three so I'm not whining sour grapes) where teams we played earlier in the day has a different cast of characters the second time that day.

Are there any organizations well known for antics like this?

Facts. Not bashing. Look at all of the previous top orange teams and tell me I'm wrong. Not bashing kids or "chest pounding". I asked a question and was called classless. You need to accept your situation.

With those numbers one would assume 6 attackmen (5 will play quality minutes), 6 defenseman (5 will play quality minutes), 2 goalies and 11 midfielders (5 will play quality minutes) for a 25 player roster. 7,7,2 and 12 for 28. That's just too many players riding the bench. These clubs, not just Orange, all of them, are seriously taking advantage of us as parents and consumers.

Going to be a fun year. These comments on 9 year old lax are so stupid and bizarre. Last year bandits and Wolfpack were losing games. Should they be ashamed of the Ls or proud because they worked hard and played great lax every tourney? What 2025 team will have the best record?! Nutty. Lizards suck because they lost to the outlaws in the semis. Worst team with no talent.

Someone a few posts back actually wrote accept your situation. As summer comes to an end, someone out there is actually commenting on a 9 year old boys lacrosse tournament played 3 months ago. Are you for real man. The situation you said, what situation are you talking about. Is it a situation where a team won approximately 28 out of 30 games this spring/summer, boys who made new friends, boys who got better playing a sport they love, boys who had a great time traveling together to tournaments, and most important enjoyed being a 9 year old kids. What a terrible situation.

Young 9 year old boys , prob the Fat parents sitting on the sideline screaming there freaking brain out, that can't run 50 yards down the field themselves. You are the one making this game stressful for kids. Just shut your mouth take pictures and enjoy it now. Because 10 years from now give 2 [lacrosse] that he was on blast , geese , goose , Seaguls , flying fish , ugly ants etc etc . Stop drinking the cool aid.

Blast and Geese both upgraded...




Every good team upgraded. That's how it works. Manhassett beat blast 2x, right?



Different year different teams except for the Towns who are limited in where they can get kids that will really help them get better. Don't expect 32 to pull that off again.

That assumes that every kid accepts. Blast roster at 23 would still be too heavy, but that is the likely number. And I would bet that Ice (2nd team? No, not for my boy) gets less acceptance than that. Still way too many at 23. And you can bet coaches want 20 MAX!

The roster sizes are just ridiculous for this organization. Clearly they're changing model from 2 competitive teams to we'll make as many teams as we have parents willing to pay. Looking at JS other teams I'm shocked he's on board with a 25 kid roster. Maybe he's going to back out this year or next?

That is when you really need to make a choice:
is it more important to be on a well known club??
or is it more important to be on a club where you play and get the reps to improve??

I go where my kid can win lots of t-shirts that are too big so I can use them to wax the coaches' cars. Thats my plan. It's solid, I know.

It's crazy to put your kid on a team that will get him minimal minutes. JS will be gone. Do you think it's strange that Blast is the only one of his teams that has a roster posted? And the first of the club to be announced? He labors over these decisions. Clearly he has no interest.

He's a very good coach. He just can't make miracles right away with a second team. It takes time before the right players/parents/attitudes are in place. They will be better this year and even better next.

You my friend are a fool. You clearly don't know him well if you are making a statement like this. He took a team just like this and made them into a highly respected team. he stuck by kids that other organizations didn't want and helped develop them into outstanding lacrosse players.

If a kid can't pass and catch by 4th grade - the blame is on the parents and the kid.

Does anyone else feel like the talent on this grade level is so spread out that no team is dominant? And do you think this is good or bad?

If talent isn't spread out, just watch what happens to Blast & Geese over the next 2 years. 75% of the kids on those teams will be replaced by the non-existent talent.

That's a reality. But those kids who get cut will end up making other teams better and by next year there will be a load of good teams. Anyone who's kid doesn't start on those teams now should start looking elsewhere. It's unlikely that they will be hanging around in a year or two.
