Great tournament over the weekend. All the boys played well. Was talking to a couple parents with a kids on MC's team. So far not happy with the playing time their kids are getting or his coaching. 1 or 2 considering jumping back to Oreilly's team. Could be interesting come spring. I heard Geese parents talking on the sidelines of the Express game about the exact same thing ( uneven playing time) and how they were sick of it and done with it, etc. They were commiserating with each other on the topic. This is not an Express issue this what happens in a competitive environment. Sad to hear during Fall tournaments for 9 year olds.....on one hand I feel bad because the kids should be getting an opportunity, but on the other hand, parents need to put their kids in what situations will be the best for them. You need to be objective....dare I say that some kids may be better suited and benefit more by playing (not riding the bench) on a 2nd level team.

Unfortunately this is true for all "A" level clubs, they are much more concerned with winning games then trying to develop your son. But by having your son play on one of these teams he will be practicing ( and playing if the coach puts him in ) with better players. By playing with better lacrosse players and athletes your son will get much better if he puts in the effort. Keep in mind that these travel teams are all in business to make money ( lots of it ), to them winning will draw more kids to their programs which will make them even richer. That's ultimately what they are all concerned with even the smaller club teams, don't let them fool you by telling you otherwise. True that - there is no altruism in travel lax!

I'm not sure blast would have even been top 4 in 2024 B today. Well they tried and now they know. They need to stick to 4th great brackets. Express, ESM, Millon, Pequ, & Greenwich all would have been similar outcomes for Blast. Gotta blame the coaches on this one. Wanted to test the kids and it totally backfired. It did. Twitter awfully quiet. And time for the girls to play with the girls team, although they didn't look too good last week at SB. Just a big mess of average at best players. Team is in need of a few studs to turn them around. all you could see in those games was the defense and they barely switched lines. The most popular defensive move was hitting in the head. Am I getting this right? You are saying the 2025 kids were playing too rough, If that's the case wait until you play against Taz and Pack they both play very tough D. You are clearly a new lax parent. Not new. Rough is a given in a contact sport, but when the only defensive move you see is wacking in the head, it is clear they don't know how to play defense. There is a difference between good lacrosse and dirty lacrosse and I've been around travel lacrosse for too long. It was like watching one kid and his only defensive move was wacking in the head.

I agree will be interesting to watch Can't see MC letting any kids go back to O'Reilly in season. Agreed. Never happen. It's not the parent's decision. Really? That is ridiculous to say. I am pretty sure the parents are paying for their kids to play lacrosse, not MC. As a parent, I will decide what is best for my kid.

Pay for the team he made, or don't. You will never have any say in what team he plays for. That thought process is moronic. If you're not happy with playing time, by all means pull him from the team (no refunds will ever be given though).

Do you know for fact no refunds will be given? Yup, didnt think so.

What does he care which team the kid plays for, especially if he's not playing him. A check is a check.

The girls are very talented and any other team would be happy to have them.We are one of them. Express and Geese have very good teams that will be in a lot more finals this year. Parents were all polite on the sidelines and it was a great day of lax. It is a shame the anonymity provided here turns some people into idiots that feel the need to speak on behalf of the whole team. So going forward Blast Geese , Express and eventually Igloo parents know that the few posters on here no matter what team do not represent the majority of the parents . I agree with this poster. Ive had some really nice conversations with the parents of these teams. Sure, most every team has one pyscho screaming on the sideline but they're the exception not the rule. They are probably the same jackasses in here oozing stupidity. Aside from them, there are some really nice people in this age bracket. Hope everyone has a great year.

Exactly. Was just asking a question. And yes most clubs pick up players every year. I was just asking because as they won everything last year and didn't know if they did or would. But thanks for hostile answer. Maybe your son made B team again I'm thinking.

Yeah there are a couple of real crazies in here and more than a few trolls who don't even have kids in the age group and just like to stir the pot. Best thing to do is ignore them both.

Geese played and won 2 tournaments in 6 days. Blast turned down both of those invites .They would not be there this week if geese were there. The parents won't be happy unless they win. Some of the Express kids were on the team that beat Blast twice in this same tournament so it won't be easy. Their will be more tryouts coming if they don't get through this weekend unscathed . Hopefully for all involved it is a positive outcome and you don't have to deal with anymore craziness trying to please the 9Done gods

Any of the wins were accomplished playing 13 kids against 22 which isn't too hard to do at this age. You should thank the Geese because if they didn't beat up on the Blast the year before you would have never got JS attention. Columbus Day was an invitation that wasn't accepted .They only like to play on their terms. Worry about the weekend with Express and Igloo in a tournament you can't control the scheduling or posting of the real final scores. Maybe this year your head coach will show up to the tournament .

Let is go dad, they lost all summer games a few months ago. Let it go. Go 3 and 1, or, 4 and 0 this summer, then after the summer ,come back on this site and people may listen. Saying it now, just makes you sound like a sad daddy, who can't get over the fact that his sons 9 year old team got beat. Get over it.

It's just trolls and a pycho or two. Just ignore it. It's not real Blast or Geese parents. Or at least not a parent that either team wants. Just leave it alone.

I'm sure they will meet a few more times since Blast will likely never play up again after being exposed last week.
