have they announced who all of their coaches are

As long as TB is coaching everything will be fine and the calls have been made.

Did express field a 3rd team? Did 24 get a second team? How many team will there be this year at this age? The saddest part is 9 1 can not field a 2nd team at 2024.

yes, yes and so crazy they can't bring the titans or avengers back

So let me get this straight. We [lacrosse] and moan when big clubs add a b team as a money grab. Then we [lacrosse] and moan when the orange team hasn't added a b team. Cmon people

Who is bitching and moaning?

It's not bitching more than weird that the giant Orange can't field a 2nd team but 24 can.

Sometimes the 2nd & 3rd teams from an organization get ignored. Express can field a 3rd team because they know the coaches assigned are good developmental coaches. I'm not sure about 24, but people must feel that if they signed up for the 2nd team. The big Orange's 2nd coach moved to Express probably for that reason. Their 2nd teams use to get ignored unless you had that coach. All they care about is their top team, which is why they don't have a 2nd team.

Make your son an A player and you wouldn't have to worry about a B team. Seems pretty simple to me

Sometimes you need that developmental coach to become an A player. And not every kid will be an A player no matter how much their daddy tries!

Heard the coaches were TB and a Levittown PAL coach

Make your son an A player, sounds simple to you. What a stupid statement.

What a stupid statement! Maybe their son has other interests and their father hasn't put all their eggs in the son becoming a "lacrosse star" like your son. Get a life.

Moved to express b/c his kid was not getting enough run on Crush. Express is t treating him any differently. He is a b team coach, that's all.

He's good at developing kids. Perfect B team coach.

"Make your son an A player". Seriously? Share the formula with us as it must be some magic elixir that you are more aware of than the rest of the parents out here/there. Maybe you have one for other sports as well? My son loves soccer, basketball, even that non contact sport golf. Wish I knew how to make him just like Jordan Speith. Wonder where I can buy that????

Isn't the Levittown guy a 24 coach, or did he move to Igloo?

Or Bluefish

I think he coached Bluefish

Yeah they were tough....this team is sinking faster than the titanic

Spoken like a parent who has held his kid back to be on a A team!
What's the matter with these people? Holding back there kids! To play lacrosse?? These Parents should be ashamed of themselves. Why do all other sports have a fair aged based system? This is a great sport, and its getting a bad rep. You can't hold back these older kids. besides being unfair, The injuries are adding up. They need to enforce these age requirements building a safer sport where kids can develop and have fun. Believe me as a parent it will ease the tension on the sidelines knowing that the other teams are plying fair at the same age. PLAYING FAIR!

with tryouts over. Which teams got stronger

Hopefully all teams got better/stronger...

they all got stronger because kids got a year older..

Except Igloo...they lost some of their big guns

my son went from doing 25 push ups a day to 50, he is definately stronger.. and he runs a mile in 6 minutes flat, working on that. he will be under 6 come the summer.

pre season ranks

1. east islip
2. BBP
3. Express A
4. Outlaws A
5. 24 A
6. igloo
7. express b
8. East Islip B
9. Outlaws B
10. 24 B

And added some good players

Comical that people feel the need to rank. Rosters have changed. Who cares. Kids get better, and continue to love the sport....those should be the goals.
24 Daddy loves to post. Or maybe Mommy

WP
Taz
Madlax
BLC
Any order on those. Taz edge with4 WP wins

Drop

All

Seriously?? Ranking 10 yo teams??! That's pathetic!

Agree but that being said you must be new around here

and also some average players to help fill the roster

Wolfpack rules!!!!!!!!!
owooowwww

But Taz lost to BLC and Madlax every time they played. All 4 teams are even at this point

What are these rankings for? Travel? PAL? Makes no sense

All four are great teams, but not sure how anyone can say that Madlax is not #1, unless you are trying to rank them based on a handful of Summer tourneys where Madlax was missing key players that didn't travel or took the summer off. When Madlax was at full strength, it swept its Spring league (which included Bethesda), and beat both Taz and WP. Taz has NEVER beaten Madlax, and some of Madlax's wins over Taz have been rather lopsided. Taz came close to beating a depleted Madlax squad at LaxFest, but still couldn't get it done.

WP would disagree. Farmingdale college event. But then Taz would disagree 4-0 and so it goes as BLC has noted wins. Great 4 teams

No - not new here. But, continually disgusted by it, and compelled to point it out! A browse through the BOTC forums usually makes me feel like I need to take a shower afterwards!

WP went down to MD and lost to Madlax by 2 when they had a full squad. And then beat them by a margin at Laxfest (the first game on that Sat by a WIDE margin. Taz will give them a run for their money also. Putting them at #1 is something a MD dad would say. The team depends on 1 big middy and 1 attackman to do all the work. Any team on this list can beat each other at any given time. Stop with your "take the spring off or didn't travel" BS. They are very beatable.
