BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025- 4th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

It was actually nice to see the 3 teams (91, Legacy and Express) compete today. All 3 games could have gone either way. All 3 teams are well-coached and the talent level is truly phenomenal for 4th grade. Those who have too much to say on and off the field should really just step back and recognize that all the kids have tremendous opportunity in front of them. These 3 teams will battle for years to come, each coming out on top at times and failing at times. All the blame and all the talk of switching teams is silly. Let the boys play and let's all just watch and enjoy. Let the coaches coach and the boys play and everyone else stay out of the way. Congratulations to the Express team, a much improved team. Looking forward to many battles in years to come.

Nice to see at 8am 91 and Express coaches in each other's faces two complete jacka$$es

This is fourth grade right? Because I see less carting on while watching the NCAA games on ESPN. So you guys think you're being a little over the top?

If your kid was good you would understand.

I find it hilarious that everyone thinks Blast is the 3rd best team. They had a bad day. Their overall record speaks very loudly about their success and dominance as a club. We'll see you all again very soon.

had a bad day? wasn't there nor do I have a kid on blast or geese....but it is called inconsistent. get used to it. that is every youth athlete in every sport. sometimes they are on and sometimes they are a little off.
just accept that this past weekend the team took a loss. I'm sure the result will be different the next time all these teams get together.

and enough with ranking 4th grade lacrosse....or any grade for that matter. this weekend express came out on top, so that puts them as the team to beat. I don't care what a teams record is over the last year plus. teams change and skill levels change.

Express parent here: Am I happy that my son's team beat 91 and Geese this weekend? [lacrosse] Yeah!! They deserve it, and they have been working hard to improve and come together as a team. However, what I am even happier about is that they are experiencing competitive lacrosse on a regular basis and learning how to compete in tough game situations. That kind of growth only comes with experience, and you don't get it in blowout game situations. Express plays good competition. We will get beat, and we expect to beat tough teams as well. Thanks to 91 and Geese for beating us in the past, you made us better. We'll do the same for you. There will be many years of back and forth. Let's not sweat all the other ranking stuff.

When kids are involved with something , saying we is a figure of speech. You don't need to be a di:k. When I say we got a test tommorrow, go study. I understand I don't have a test. Ok there, do you understand. You got it now tool, or I guess I should say asshat.

I agree. Paren't are part of the "We". We drive them to and from practices, tournaments etc. We lug equipment. We set up the tents. We pay for it all. There is a WE. The kids do the harder part, they practice, they compete and hopefully they get the better reward too, fun. I feel rewarded too watching them have fun. Watching them get better. Watching them compete and win and helping them up when then lose. Yes, it is a WE process. If you think it isn't YOU are missing out on something.

Get over yourself, there is no "WE" on your sons team if you are not wearing a jersey. And if you are wearing a jersey you are a real jacka$$

Sounds like you are a 1 man team with no support in any area in your whole life. That's sad. "We" is a figure of speech. Parents are part of the big picture. You sound like an idiot and a terrible parent. Your kid is supposed to be learning from you. I feel bad for him.

Lol, tool you don't get it. There is no such thing as a painful loss of a 9 and 10 year old lacrosse game. Kids are disappointed for 10 minutes, then they go home and play. Do you understand loser. Real life issues are painful, not this. You got a lot to learn little man.

Stop it you wee "WE" man, the rest of us can't take your nonsense anymore. You are on the verge of being asked to leave with your nonsense. Hate to be the one to break it to you, WE (as in the rest of the parents) want YOU to knock it off. You are not part of the team, our sons are. Since you don't get it, that's it, DO YOU UNDERSTAND YET? Have you even thought about why none of us will go near you?
