Confused, are you speaking to the families that left for Express A, Express B, Igloo A or Igloo B - issue is resolved, best advice, just be quiet.

Why would someone from Express A bother with True Blue.

Why would someone from Express A bother with True Blue.

Exactly Express Dad typical pompous jerkoff remark. Most teams can be good with a bunch of holdbacks and 2022 players on it.

Hitmen and Recon tied a couple of times this past year. I believe both teams got solid talent at tryouts and both should be improving. Coaches for both teams are returning as well. Probably comes down to which practice facility are you closer too.

Icon not enough information

Bluefish - came out of the gate with a lot of teams their first year then all the younger teams started to look elsewhere. They still have younger teams but they're not competitive and often borrow kids from other teams. This depends on the team but I know the 2023 and 2022 team did this. Nothing wrong with it just stating facts.

So I guess by now Igloo has sent out invites to all of their pre-tryout invitees Was there much turnover? Did they land the lefty attackam they were after? Will it be another year of daddy ball? Will coach Leprechaun still be forcing the offense through his kid?

Has anyone heard anything after the Outlaws tryout?

Yes, a lot of kids got bumped to "B". The holdbacks stay under the cover as a 2023 grad year, and yes daddy ball remains.

tryouts were last night. why would we know?
stupid post

Like what? The weather. Come on dude! Has anyone ever within hours of a tryout. If your asking how they were, you should have been there.

What a bunch of whiney grown men!!! Let me state I am not with igloo but have watched them play against my son quite a few times and they are a well coached, very disciplined bunch of talented kids. And parents who have tons of class on the sidelines...unlike most of you on here.

stay off of BOTC Mrs Baldy.

by offense you mean the binder full of plays he calls? that the way lacrosse is played right with a binder of laminated plays every time down the field? Or maybe I'm just stupid and confused igloo for a football team instead of a lacrosse team.

Your life must blow if your down to trolling some team your kid can't make.

The Icon '23 coach is Pat Mcabe, he is also the director of the Icon program. Look him up, u would b hard pressed to find a better coach around. Multiple National championships as a player and coach, US Lacrosse hall of fame, team USA .........etc.

Recon A team never played Hitmen, it was their B team that they tied, Recon A is a much better team.

Stupid definitely! Sprinkle in some sad well.

They were looking for a righty, and from what I saw there were a bunch at tryouts. I'm sure they got one, but none were noticeably better than what they had. Definitely no difference makers. I guess we'll see.

More accurate to say "you would be hard pressed to find him around". Sorry, it's the truth.

Out of these four its Recon without a doubt, they are very competitive, well coached, and the parents are down to earth.

We know a bunch of 13 year old's who can make the team for now, and a few who shouldn't be on the team.

Where does Recon practice and what towns are the players from that make up the team.

I'd put both Outlaw teams in this mix. I don't know if Recon has ever played Outlaws select, but I'm sure Recon A would be the better of them.

Not 100% sure Pat will be returning as coach. No information on their website.

Outlaws beat Recon at Blatant last fall.

They used to practice in Plainview, Hicksville, and sometimes in Farmingdale, so central Nassau . . .

Thanks Coach

Shore 2 Shore- is that team set?

At this age I would think so. It was invite only when they started. Would be hard to start swapping out players now. So unless someone voluntarily leaves I woukd say it is a waste of time and money.

Lol the question wasn't who to put into a mix. They asked information about 4 programs. Nice try taking a shot at outlaws. Go Northstars!

Won't happen this year. The team is stacked, and ready. A few players coming over that puts us ahead this year. Watch out.

"Watch out." Lol

The only thing with Recon is all the coaches kids are on the A team and in 7th grade I believe you need to earn your spot when you pay that kind of money . PAL I get but travel it's a whole mother ball game . A team =A player

At least my girlfriend doesn't have a skull on her a$$!

Coming over from where?

How is the attack position at Recon?

Pimples?

Excitied to See the talent At the Dukes tryouts tomorrow. Should be top notch

They seem carry a lot of kids on both teams, and it appears a lot of them are attack too, but the starting Attack line on A team seems to be pretty solid.......
They could prob use another lefty or size though to round them off.

Expecting 100 kids for this grade

Recon did cut down the # of players from last year and I think they will do the same again, need better depth at attack position.
