If you are with one of those"other programs" boy don't they really care about your kids . Funny heard some feed back on ways they discourage there kids from attending this event and THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEM SELVES. VERY SAD TACTICS PULLING INVITES TO SHOWCASES so SAD WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LACROSEE COMMUNITY ITS ONE THING TO NOT LIKE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE KIDS ... HOPE PARENTS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND RUN FOR THERE LIVES. AND TO THE GUYS WHO DISCOURAGED KIDS FROM COMING YOU REALLY NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT AND WHO THIS IS ABOUT . ITS ABOUT THIS GREAT GAME THAT WE LOVE AND HOPING WE CAN INFUSE SOME KIDS WITH THE SAME LOVE . STOP THE HATE.

Subsidize [lacrosse] there wasn't a parent or player that left there and said boy what a waste of money like the majority of this NLF CRAP .....PLEASE ENOUGH... TAKE A WALK THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS AND AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME .... YO BOZO SEND YOUR KID NEXT TIME

It was about Igloo kids being guilted into doing it. Probably 3/4 Igloo suckers and 1/4 even less smart. How much money did these coaches make and what was Igloos take????

What makes it worth it? It was a recruiting event. Did your 2022 kid get contacted by any coaches from Saturday?

WHY do you care so much? GET OVER IT and move on already !!!!!!!!

Do you think its a problem if a 2022 player plays on more than one team?

Me personally I think if a kid has an opportunity to play they should and no club should EVER tell a kid they can't play anywhere else. Especially after making their tuition payment.

Sounds ridiculous but it happens. Just think of this this way, if the parents told the club coach once the team was formed they can't add any players or coach anywhere else how would that sound? Crazy right, so what gives the coaches the right To tell a kid they can't play anywhere else except for them. NONE. They would drop them in a hearbeat if they found someone better. Just sounds crazy how some of these guys think. They have no loyalty to your kid but if the kid finds another outlet outside of their lacrosse empire they go nuts. Makes no sense.

Where does he play when both teams have a tournament the same day in different locations? Unless both teams know in advance when the kid accepts the offer that there are tournaments he might not make, you put the rest of one of the teams at risk.

Say the kid is a FOGO on a NY-based "A" team and on the Duke's National team. What happens when he decides to play for the Duke's team at Hogan's Summer Exposure the second weekend in June instead of for the NY-based "A" team at LI Laxfest the same weekend. Now you have an "A" team playing in a competitive tournament without their FOGO - and with very few exceptions, nobody is carrying two killer FOGOs.

The only way this works is if both teams know about the conflict and still decide to add the kid to the roster knowing that there is a chance that they will be S.O.L. if he wants to play for the other team that weekend.

Either that or Duke's has a National roster of 70 kids and a copy of everyone's schedule in the northeast so that they know where to get players for any tournament that they want to enter.


Mind your own business. Why do you care about what other people are doing and what their kids are doing so much?

Thanks Dad. Let me fill you in on a few things. First of all it's my money!!! If I want to light it on fire that's my prerogative. Second of all my son had a great day. The weather was perfect, he had an opportunity to play with his friends and some kids he usually plays against. He had a chance to meet and play for some of the best coaches in the nation and....it was a very very well run event. My guess is you spend more in a month on booze than I spent on this event so while you sat at home nursing your favorite scotch I chose to spend a day watching my son have a great experience....and to me that's priceless.

Interesting to see if the Superteam can bounce back after a disappointing Blatant Preformance

Ha ha, 91 tried to enter a tourney they could win to shake of the embarrassment of the last tourney. But uh oh, Dukes entered, ouch if 91 loses, do you just shut it down and spare the parents and unfortunately the kids the stress of trying to win? Do you call yourself a B team? Do you admit united coach was better than smash...oh boy

Last year United beat Express in spring , lost by a goal in last seconds in summer at Elite 8. Fall , express beats Superteam handily so far. We'll see what happens next.

Super team played great, almost pulled upset over Express in pool play. Express squeaked out championship by a couple. Fun day of fall lax.

Super team "almost" upset express? Really? This team was put together to beat this team. They have 4 losses so far this fall. Let's be honest here, they do not look like they will be a top team. Lot of unhappy parents and more importantly kids on that team. Deny it all you want but deep down you know it's true. A mistake was made by 91. By the summer season I see this team as #4 or #5 on long Island. Sorry. But look at that team. It's not there.
