What exactly needs to change? Kids have practiced 2x per week for almost 2 months, played in 3 tournaments and played well for a new team, coaches are organized and approachable. What more are you asking for in the fall? If it's about your kids playing time then address with the coach and not on an anonymous chat room. If its about wins then you are missing the point of youth lacrosse. It's about making sure your kid gets better. Coaches are doing that... provide proof otherwise.

Leaving a team at this point is not really much of an option - if so, go to where? How much have been paid so far and how much will you get back if you leave? With that in mind, as a paying parent, I would want to insist that the situation be changed as much as possible to get the most for my money. IE, " . . .then leave" is not the answer!

Are you a parent of the team that is making the comment? If so, and are unhappy, then leave. Nobody is making you stay with the team. From what I see, the coaches are great and I am sure it could be better if three coaches show up to every practice but it really isn't that critical in the fall and the team is small enough to be able to handle it. Head coach is extremely organized so nobody is sitting around doing nothing. Don't make general statements about the team without being able to back it up.

No the select team

All this talk about the 2023 select team on here is being posted by the negative parent pack that left last year. They loved the gossip and negative talk all day. Ignore them. Eventually they go away as they did this year. They are on here talking about the outlaws because hating life is what they are about and this makes them feel better. They truly travel in a pack and try to hold clubs hostage. Thank god they left.

I would have to agree with you BUT 12 kids leaving one team does not seem like a few angry parents more like alot of dissatisfied parents seeing a good team go nowhere.

This is not just about the select team. 4 kids returned to the gold team. There was a mas exodus at the 2023 level.

The team people are talking about with great coaching but the org taking just anyone is the gold team. Happened last year and again.

From an outside point of view, it really looks like your management skills suck!!!

It is obvious that they aren't putting in the work. Why wasn't the coach there... he could of been if he cared more, but didn't... Oh it's just fall... too tired better go home instead of putting more of an effort into the elete overpriced travel team. Start pretending you are the parents and see how much you would hate what you are doing. Don't be a phucking clown.... there is no faking hard-work. Parents see who is doing what.... you know that all the coaches should be there if you are charging that much... oh but it is fall, so doesn't really matter... lol.. poor management and poor customer service for sure

That's why we left.

The Li Outlaws had a Thanksgiving drive. Kristina Brennan organized this. They put together 90 Full Dinner baskets, along with a turkey for each . These were then distributed to 90 Families that were in need.

That's amazing, nice to see that some clubs care about those less fortunate, not just their own pockets!

The organization didn't reach into their pockets....all done by families through their pockets

That's how the Outlaws work. They find the PAL coaches that can bring the most players with them. If you bring enough like the the Port guy and the CSH guy before him they put you on the board. They don't care if any of those kids are prepared to play travel.

Dont think the Port coach is bringing anyone. Dont know of any Port players on Outlaws. Most CSH kids play for *LG so that coach isnt bringing anyone over either.

No other Outlaws team did ! They are obviously just an average organization!

That's what you get when the owner lets anybody on the team, and without a tryout. Very disappointing
