BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024 5th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

Really we just played them. We are all friends. Parents get along. You have to go there with that bs next topic. Please

So your blaming a goalie for letting in goals ? How about the shots he saved. My god. Goalie played great today.

News flash . If you are talking about Express team in the Oyster Bay tournament that is the 4th team that have in that age group. They are a PAL team. Atleast one of the Pal teams that doesnt cut anyone

Express needs a coach that shows up before they need a goalie. Your an [lacrosse]!!!!

wow...What a classless a-hole. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Sound like a C team daddy that trolls scores on Tourney Machine just looking to stir the pot. Now go back to mowing your lawn

They made the necessary changes needed to take the team to a championship .

Sorry are you the site keeper ?
The people who are involved understand what that means ..

The championship of what?

What team is legacy blue?

There seems to be more than a fair share of posters here who think others will know what they're responding to - in reality (almost) no one does, though. Just looks like some erroneous post! SMH

TB out RVC kids in

That is the 4th grade Team ... Legacy has a couple of good A Teams.. there B teams ok . Some of the best training you can get.

Is their A team, team Taz already set?
I understand the boy has to be lights out but are the coaches even open to taking new boys? Some are, some aren't.

It's set unless you got a call from one of the coaches or directors asking for your son to try out.

That team is Really good. I would always encourage kids to try out , you never know. I will say its one of the Top teams at that level.
That is one of the Best teams at that age level. IF you feel your son has the ability, its always worth trying. you never know. I will say , there is room for improvement on that team, Just like any team ...But Not Much.

I know the TAZ coach very well and he is no doubt open to new players. Great guy as well.

If they said no, nobody would attend tryouts. Tryouts generate a lot of revenue for the business. Most likely 2,3 kids will be added from tryouts. If 50 kids attend at 100 a pop, 22 kids out of 24 on team will make it. 2 will leave or be asked to leave, playing time, not a good fit etc. Thar means out of the other 28 kids, 2 or 3 will make it. Most likely coaches know those kids in advance. So unless an unknown kid, is lights out at tryouts, it will be real hard to make that team. It's not a bad idea to attend a few tryouts, 3,400 bucks, it may be worth it to see what's out there.

coming soon

Wish.

lots of changes on all rosters. Besides taz and wp i say all other teams will have 6-10 changes.

Daddy Coach at its finest. Its like the textbook definition. This isn't 2nd grade, its 6th grade. Daddy has to move over and let the athletes get on the field. No clue why anyone would put $ over there.

Don't be surprised if TAZ and PACK make changes this summer. A lot of holes on both teams.

Every team can improve agreed, but don't say a lot of holes. An average or below average team there is a lot of holes. These 2 teams are in the top 5, probably in the country, so how can you say a lot of holes. That makes no sense.

Warrior all America looks like it flopped. Only 4 teams.

Anyone familiar with the tenacious turtles?

Omg I so agree and this is done on most teams where Dads coach and have sons on their teams. Why do you think dads coach for so long, so their boys can stay protected by them because if left on their own skill these boys would be on less talented teams. Sixth graders are at a middle school level and need to be on appropriate skill level teams.

Holes are everywhere especially on these teams that are committed to winning. Go to tryouts and get sized up.

unbelievable barone is still involved. Fail by owner. Boys will under achieve again

Correct me if I'm wrong, but every sport my son has played over the past 7 years, since he was 4 has been a dad coach. Youth coaches are usually dad coaches aren't they. How many people actually earn livings coaching youth teams. I'm sure there are some, but I haven't seen any. My son has played 3 sports a year. That's 21 sets of coaches/assistant coaches, every single one has been a dad coach.

Agreed. there will be a lot of turnover this year on all teams intending on heading to World Series in 2019. If there was a time to try to get on one of the more competitive teams, WP and Taz included, it's this year.

THE WORST. My kid didn't get a spot on this team after he put in 6 hours at two days of tryouts in 95 degree heat. Guess who didn't have to do that? Where was he?

What tryouts are this weekend?

Most are probably more qualified.

True Blue. Should be a great turnout.

4 teams in the entire country at 2024! What a complete bust and failure. To waste a weekend of the precious summer that is barely left. Long Island wins every game by 10-12 goals. The organization that ran this should refund all the money.

It's not a dad issue, he's just a [lacrosse] coach. Team ruiner.

kid wasn't even at tryouts[/quote]

Yet, you'll see him at attack, midfield and man up. Maybe he should bring a long pole to tourneys as well.[/quote]

coming soon

Your kid must stink.

Daddy coaches are everywhere, Outlaws included.

Except for maybe 2 or 3 players the WP doesn't need to make any changes. They have some of the best kids in the sport at this age. Taz needs a few tweaks and they will stay in the top tier always and be a great opponent for the WP and Express is a couple of players away from being a top tier team. The few other teams need some overhaul to start competing at this level. Middle school is approaching fast and the goal should be to get your kid in a situation where the competition is at a high-level so when they do enter MS or HS they are prepared. Made the mistake with my 2018 and kept him in a semi to non-competitive situation and it turned out blowing up in my face when he got to MS/ HS. He's a good player but not the caliber of player that the kids who stayed on the high competitive teams are. Yes there will always be that one two or three kids that show up in middle school and grab the stick for the first time and become a stud but times are changing very quickly and these kids that are playing at a high-level now are moving the ball quicker faster and their skills/IQ are getting so sharp at a young age that it will be very hard for a large group of boys to just show up and think they can compete. Made the mistake once won't make it again
