BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2021 - 8th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

Blaze will always now and forever be known as a team who Harbors a 10th grader who challenges the school reclassify system. I mean I know they love the sport and want to hold on to the youth lacrosse years , BUT cmon man let go and swim with the BIG boys , so what he is small ! Isn't it all about Challenging yourself to get better , we know he's ridiculously talented but he needs to overcome playing kids double his size.

Ambush going to NJ this weekend to play C teams. Get ready to hear how great they are because they scored 50 goals in four games and gave up three and won another championship.

Now I dont have a child that plays on Blaze, But I have no Idea what you fathers are going to complain about when your kids get to High School. Lets just say that I expect my Son to make JV. which means he will play with 9th Graders this year, and then (Get This) I will expect next year in 9th grade that he makes Varsity. Do you know what that means? My little boy might be playing with 18 year olds. Before you have a comeback like my HS program must suck letting kids play up and I have Bad Grammer. Look in the Mirror first. They need to put a complaint department thread on here. SMH

This is never a valid argument. In HS there are multiple kids in grade 10-12 so an older kid can't dominate a game. Also if there are dominate players there will be older kids to counter that kid. When a kid plays down two years there is not anther 10th grade kid to counter him. Also that 9 th grader that plays up will have a lot of talent. The older kid playing down will be facing kids who are players ranked 20-24 on a team and it could cause problems. Last the kid that plays up chooses to face older kids. When a kid plays down he is playing against kids that may not be ready or want to play a kid two years older. An older kid can dominate a game and the team that is not cheating will have no answer. Hs teams have multiple older kids to counter an older kid.

Sorry you can't come up with an argument to show that the team is a good team. Your director is putting them in weak tournaments. That should tell your more than anything you read here. We did not know they cut kids. But if that makes you feel better because you don't have a response go with that.

So did your kid get cut this year or last year?

We are Ambush, there is a better 2021 team in our organization. They are called Blaze and they play in AA tournaments. They will beat us if we play them. This is all we know about them. Our Tournaments have been announced way in advance. We sign up to Play in the A division. I am sure any team that calls themselves an A team can sign up. I hope this clears it up for you. If you need more information about us, come to one of our practices. We will hopefully be able to tell you all about us. But you seem to know a lot about us already.

Have not heard from any 91 or express people as to why they did not send any kids the to showcase this past Sat.

Why do you care? They saved their money. You act like this was the one and only. Worry about your kid not others

Thats not the point. The point that these NLF clubs think they are the only game in town. To tell kids NOT to go is selfish and arrogant. NLF are only concerned with THEIR kids instead of youth lacrosse in general. They don't have all the best teams at all age groups and to not allow other clubs because of proximity to their interest. It should be about all the kids. Thats AA attitude and many of the other good guys in the lacrosse world.

Let's be honest here. All of these big club programs are in business to make money. The NLF clubs are blocking Igloo players and teams from their events because they feel that Igloo is taking away business. The idea that this should be all about the kids is unrealistic at this point - there is just too much money to be made. NLF clubs have been telling parents that they need to have their boys play for NLF teams if they want to get recruited. Igloo created the Elite 80 event to show parents the they have influence with college coaches and can help boys get recruited. NLF club players were invited to the event and did not sign up. It is obvious that the NLF guys did something to stop the boys from going. That is flat out wrong. They are entitled to make their money and even black ball Igloo but dictating terms to their players crosses the line.

My Kid Is an NLF Player, In 8th Grade I didnt see the need to go to the elite 80. In My opinion its just to early. My Kid has Plenty of time to get a look. I think it was a great thing that Igloo did. If I wanted to go, I would not have even said anything to my club.

My kid is NLF and never got the call after submitting the paper work. I don't think Igloo likes NLF very much either so maybe it goes both ways

Same here, Igloo didn't want NLF kids showing up their own. I know several who submitted, and their coaches were never called and they were never invited. One I know of was an attack who made the Black Ice Defense look silly in the tryout. He wasn't invited and didn't accept a spot on their team. Payback?

Great Story Envious Dad. Here is how We Ambush parents see it. We are going to NJ. This weekend as a team. Our Coaches setup up for us to see a College Hockey team play, Then we will go Meet a local College Lacrosse coach (Same Team as the College Hockey Team). We Think Our Team is a Good Team. We Know our boys are improving in the Game of Lacrosse. Hopefully we play good this weekend. Next weekend Win or lose will will go to Practice. Our Boys, Coaches and Parents are having a good time. A Little story on what we have done so far this year. We played against True Blue A, Express North, 2 different Outlaws teams, 91 Tristate, Garden City, We Feel that they are all very good teams. We have faced 6 teams already this Fall. What have you done this fall Envious Dad???

Let me get this straight there was an attack man at Igloo Tryouts for 2021 that made the Igloo Defense look silly ......The only thing silly is that statement SILLY MAN .... Sounds like someone is telling a lie I will look for the guy who's nose is bigger then it was last week

You must be new to Ambush and probably new to travel lacrosse. Most decent teams have already played many more teams and games than you listed. Also playing against the team's you mentioned is not getting any good player better. It can't be fun beating these teams by a lot to a little which Ambush must be doing because any good team would blow all these teams out. Glad everyone is having fun but don't think for one second anyone is envious. If you read this thread the Negative Ambush comments started when someone posted how great they were doing and that invited comments regarding the weak compatition. Glad all are having fun but remember most kids playing club lax are having fun. PAL had weak competition and was fun too. Good luck.

Wow New to travel Lacrosse, Usually ambush runs under the radar. but for some reason a someone decided to call us out and say that we are playing weak competition. Now I dont know about you but seems to me that sour grapes are involved.

Sounds very silly.......Hey payback, what team does this attackman play for now that he turned down a roster spot on Igloo?

Just curious does anyone know if wogue team is a true town team or a town team with baggage?
