BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2023 - 6th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

The games were not competitive. I looked like they were playing down a year at least. I saw one game where the team did not win a faceoff against them, however to the teams that played them credit the kids still competed.

I would like to thank them as well, it's better to keep DB like you away from other kids.

Why does everyone have to be so negative....
Your right I'm so mad that my sons team was Entered in that tournament.
It was in the 70s both days, the kids played outstanding lacrosse against some very good out of state teams, parents and kids were able to bond and have a blast before the winter..... your right it was absolutely awful

Thanks baldy

Okay, so apparently one of the teams that went has a dad who is bald. Good to know

What tournaments is your son's team playing in this fall?

Brentwood Town Cup

A serious question for everyone. Over the past two years or so, travel lax has gone from a summer league to a fall/winter/spring/summer league. Assuming that everyone plays 5-6 summer tourneys, what do you think is the appropriate number of tournaments for fall, winter and spring? Should they travel in the sub-seasons? I'm not bashing any clubs or directors/coaches for their choices, just curious. In my opinion:

3 local LI fall tournaments
1-2 winter box tourneys
2 local LI Spring tournaments (late spring)
5 Summer Tourneys: 3 local and 2 away (Md, PA, Mass, etc..)

I'm good with practices throughout. Once a week in fall/winter and twice a week in spring and summer would be ideal.

For that much lacrosse, I'm comfortable paying these every-increasing costs.

I love your model.

Is that all included, our travel is about 1600. That includes 5 fall tourneys, 2 of which are away. There are practices during late spring and then into summer, all covered by that original payment. Then there is the extras, winter training, fall tournaments, spring tournaments, box training and then the coaches extra (I am bringing in a trainer for the offense or defense). All this adds up to lots of $$$$. Maybe I should have gotten a boat. Probably cheaper. Nah, I love watching junior. Ok off to work.

Where is all the 2023 chatter, I figured after this weekend of tournaments there would have been some D-1 signings...

Our grade didn't play in the Elite 80, but nice try.

How did teams do at the 2016 Fall Maryland Lacrosse Tournament at McDonogh

Anyone else signing up for the national team tryouts?

It's this weekend in MD knucklehead.

Aloha tournament at timonium
One team looked like the bad news bears
Probably shouldn't been played....except their was money to be made

Which National Team?

[lacrosse] money making scam again

so true.........

Long Island

Is this the weekend that the Warriors beat the Bandits?????

Not even playing each other schedules changed bandits playing up

Warriors can't beat the Wolfpack let alone the Bandits.

Crabs 2023 dominated... Games were not even close.... Club blue out of Bethesda will get better though... Apparently a bunch of kids left other programs like Madlax and Bethesda and joined club Blue....You can tell that they are a new team...Talented though

One of those teams is an outreach program trying to get lacrosse to inner City less privileged kids. Paul Rabil sits on the organization board and is a contributor to their program... You may want to get off your high horse there Chief before you start dogging a group of kids...

Crabs also had kids that possibly drove themselves to the game playing so they should beat everyone else.

Whatever excuse works for you....

How did everyone do today?

How did the Sachem Tournament go????

Anyone know if all these fur thee loveee of the game clinks are any good?

Warriors and a team from Illinois went 2-0-1 (tied their game). The Illinois team won the championship game. The Illinois boys said they were 12-13 years old when asked. They were definitely bigger and faster. Warriors hung tough. Goalie made some fine saves to keep them in the game early.

Saw a lot of that Illinois team because they played all of their games next to my son's 2025 team (Sachem soccer complex has the fields right up against each other). I also have a 2023. The size difference was comical vs LIE North and LIE. Did not see them play warriors at all - may have been on a different field or at a different time. At face-offs, the Illinois team was a full head taller than each of the aforementioned LIE team's players. In NY, 6th graders in the Fall should be 11. Comical they would have to play against 12 and 13 year olds.

It really doesn't matter too much. It's still only fall ball; however, playing against admitted 13 year old kids is only going to make 11 year old kids better. It's a shame that teams cheat, but we all know it happens. Anyway, it was a beautiful day!

Look at that 2023 division for mayflower madness. 6 teams and only 2 are not express. Haugen will destroy all those teams, why are other teams even bother going to sit in the cold for that.

Only two were 13, but that's enough. Add that to a handful of 12's and they're a tough out. Sucks that no one could verify ages ahead of time. It's a shame. Why would a parent want their kid playing against teams 2 years younger? How does that make him better?

BM is laughing.

Just give Haugen the tshirt and have all the other teams stay home. They are just placeholders for haugens team to beat up on. I predict they let up three goals the entire tournament and out score everyone by at least 10-15. Time for the recruiting brochure photo op holding a championship shirt.

Channy's Internal express "waste of time" tournament. This is the exact reason why BM fought Channy to have the team do better tournaments. AJ is a good soldier or puppet. Sad.

i think they just assumed/hoped more teams would be there to make more $. only a few sign and up and you are left with your own teams. look at this and and the fall brawl in islip. even worse pickings there on saturday.

look at it this way. all the other teams will get some decent games in maybe.

It's an express scrimmage day with two other teams. All the other teams from years past stopped going to this tournament.
