What are you basing that on, your vitriole is pitiful and unsubstantiated. As long as you are going to be a jerk about it I am guessing our 5th grade team can beat your 6th team so why would we bring 7th graders when 5th graders would do the trick.

In the infamous words of Jack Nicholson our 7th graders would rather be out "birddogging chicks and banging beaver" over the Christmas break.

Of course we are cheating couldn't be that we are just simply better

See, that's the problem. When you cheat even once, you'll never be considered legit again. Ever. It doesn't matter if every game from that point on is on the up and up, when some of your parents didn't get the memo to be quiet about your older boys, word spreads really quickly. I can understand your anger. You want everyone to think your kid is the greatest because he plays on a good team (or at least a team with 2 good players). But, now no one takes that team seriously. Trust me, your team isn't the first and it likely won't be the last. You would think that after what happened with Sons a few years ago that people would stop with the nonsense, but unfortunately, this show gets replayed every season.

Well, people really can suck. Insulting all but two boys on a team because adults allegedly "cheated", maybe once. The fact is, there are a lot of great lacrosse players on the team and even better young men, my son included. An idea, let's stop insulting the kids and stick to treating the adults like a-holes. For any kid reading this, if you're being discussed in this forum, you're likely a good lacrosse player and a good kid. Don't waste your time reading this stuff. Go have a toss.

Thanks. That's a reputable program. At least we know they will be the correct age.

It only takes one time to be labeled a cheater. They won't shake it. Most team don't just cheat once either.

Dude nobody cares about your words only validation that BL is still on top because nobody criticizes the bottom feeders such as your team. 90% of the Long Island Maryland board is the same, they spend the majority of the time bithcing bout the best teams and accusing them of cheating.

There are two kinds of losers in this world.

1. The loser that takes the experience as an opportunity to improve and looks at themselves in the mirror re-evaluates and accepts accountabilty.

2. The loser that blames everyone else and never looks at themselves in the mirror. Someone else: cheated, jumped the gun, was overage, referees weren't fair. etc.

Trust me BL kids used to get their asses kicked by every community team and club around. I remember when alot of the same kids went to Liberty 6 years ago and got their asses handed to them by a Harley Team that had no business being in the B Bracket. I remember thd coach who went on to start Brotherly Love after that game. Telling the kids you lost 12-1 today but two years from now we are coming back and winning this tournament. He was righ they did come back and won it several years in a row. Ironically, everyone accusd them of cheating back then because they started smoking teams. Just human nature.

He didn't complain about Harley playing down, he didn't complain about the refs, or [lacrosse] to the tournament directors. No, those kids went on to practice, improve, change their technique and that nuclues is now the backbone of the club. Ironically, they also smoked Harley this past year or what is left of it.

The only thing that remains is for you to decide what kind of loser you are. You are obviously losing as your bitternes is apparent. Look at your self in the mirro and ask yourslef what can we do to improve. Just try it you might be surprised at the results.

Actually you are so wrong, now I know why your kid can't compete cause he didn't start playing the game until 2nd grade. Have you ever heard of U7 every team in the CCLA has a U7 program. U7 stands fo UNDER 7 thus you have to be 4,5,6 years of age. Most of the boys playing Brotherly Love all played U7 and frankly most lacrosse families start at U7, thus they started in Kindergarten and 1st grade...sucks to be you, that explains why your kid is playing for C Caliber Club Team.

I remember the score because we only scored one goal at the very end. Perhaps the score was 13-1 maybe 14-1 irrespecitve it was alot to a little.

They did change their technique, because the coach changed his approach.

At Pumpkin Pie Fall Tournament a team from Canada came down and smoked every team, there will plenty on this forum that will remember that team. They cradled differently, shot differently, and were frankly playing a different game although we were all playing lacrosse. I even remember the one referee saying "WOW"

So another opportunity my loser friend to learn via losing....

The very same coach sat all the kids and parents down at a practice and said the following. Those Canadian kids played a different game, I want to play lacrosse like that. We are changing how we practice, what we practice, and our stick technique.

Again, didn't complaing that a team from Canada came down and played in a tournament named after an American Holiday, didn't complain that the Canadian kids were overage, that they really didn't let up and show good sportmanship....no...that loss was used as an opportunity to self evaluate, learn, and get better.

So my bitter friend, you see another example of why this club excels. They lose and they learn. Sorry that your kid started in 2nd grade thus missed 3 years of development, you need to look at yourself for that one.

So much anger from Mr. Anonymous that I am wondering if your kid got cut from BL.....

Funny you throw these things out here like BL has actually cheated? If so when and where? No one ever said the team didn't have kids born before 9/1, but they are all still in 6th grade and [lacrosse] the goalie is only in 5th. Freedom 22 is loaded with kids born before 9/1/03 are they cheating every time they go out and play?

Freedom 22 is stacked w older kids. That's a lot to do with their success at this level.
Are they cheating? Nope.
Would that team be decimated if things went to an age based model? Absolutely.
This is why they can't field a team for WSYL.
As it stands, we are in a grade based world. The future, however, is age based.
Then, little Johnny will be forced to play w kids his own age. Won't that be a blow to daddy's ego. Can't wait to watch it all unravel.

Yes, my son is terrible because I didn't force him into travel lacrosse when he was 4 or 5. You nailed it. And your team is the best because you did. Wait, that's not right. Your team is not the best. You are a complete lunatic for remembering 5 year old lacrosse scores (and clearly you're not alone). Spin this any way you want. You bring in older kids to win tournaments. Without your guest players you have an average team. Glad you started at 4. That's awesome. You must be so proud and impress the [lacrosse] out of all of your co-workers. Loser.

Can 2024 Bl beat dukes national 2024? Trying to figure out if it's worth going to the dukes mini camp

Hey Guy accusing BL of cheating you still haven't said what team your kid plays for was the other poster correct either Fusion or Team 11?. Nobody is asking your name but if you can't even represent your club and be proud of it and which one it is on this board you need to bugger off cause your a [lacrosse].

"Freedom 22 is stacked w older kids" so they must be the 4 kids that BL brings in to try to win games.

So BL folks get on here and say don't bash us we are so great but reading this thread they (coach?, director?, and parents?) have all bashed fusion, team 11, roughriders, freedom, and Harley club, to name a few. No wonder people keep getting on here and bash you...Hey Jason, Merry Christmas!

Yeah right get a life "Jason" your a loser still won't name your club that your son plays for. Makes you more of a nerd correcting on a message board scram before I take your lunch money
