Every A player was there except 2 players. Don't know why you need to lie .... You either have no idea who is on the team or looking to stir the pot. Team has improved each year and will continue to do so this year. Best of luck to whatever team your son makes because obviously it wont be this one.

The Prime Time Kid, just ran down the field, through all the defenders, and shot the ball, didn't pass once. Not sure that will work against a quality defense, or with attack men that never get passed the ball.

Seriously you don't have to lie and no one is trying to stir the pot. Express has 3 teams
There were 21 poles there on day 1 and all but 3 had on express helmets. Day 2 they only had maybe 16 poles with two of them without express helmets
They had 3 goalies day 1 and 4 on day 2, each with a express helmet on. With 3 teams that carry 2 goalies each.

So please tell me how you speak for the org and everyone was there. Come on man we all know they will take 98% of the kids on the A team back all they have to do is show up to 1 tryout.

Hopewell Junction. He also played in Denver! But he's a 2023!

Wow you really are psychotic.....you actually sat there and counted players and broke down by position..You should see if MC needs a statistician. Easy does it rain man...Seriously, you need to get of this site and seek professional help...and yes they are probably keeping most of the at team in tact like many irganizations do...why mess with a good thing ...a tweak here and there...btw 2 kids missing...lol

Just moved to Plainview. Good things said about Recon organization and the coaches for the 2023 "B" team. Empire is too far. Outlaws "B", mixed opinions... Son is a "B" level player at this time.

21 poles all
But three were express. Hard to believe. What helmets were the three?

Really !! No way!! Who is trying out for Attack from Igloo?
Too muck story telling on this site

It's the Igloo lefty who played with all the Express kids at Brine. Duh. Why is this a surprise.

outlaws beat both B teams

Why were there no Tornados at tryouts?

S2S + Denver = no chance

Who told you they were trying to go there?

How was the legacy tryout?

Because he's been a mid at Igloo last few years

Let's see how many practices he makes. He lives 2 hours away. Not sure how that will work either.

You're right. Low turnout. I think most of the team is leaving to express. Saw a lot at Express tonight.

Outlaws is probably better than recon. Empires not close. Maybe recon improves this year and makes it close. Save yourself the travel and go with recon.

Not sure why someone would leave a team after playing there for the last several years. Especially, going into a big year.

What happened to BM?

Recon A
I know parents from this team and they are not happy with the amount of kids and the fact that a few kids should not be in the A team . I was thinking of having my son try out this weekend which is why I asked . I get it coaching comes with perks and if a kid is not that good they will be on the team because his daddy coaches . If I am paying money to travel I want to be on a team where everyone earns playing time it's not PAL . i am sure it's a well run organization but they need to cut back on the roster .

Recon is a joke Bad coaching. Decent team. But coaches don't know anything. Don't believe anything good you here from that team.

Thanks, I will. After talking to a couple of people, they said the Recon coach for that age group does a good job compared to the Outlaws coach.

Anything from S2S tryouts? Second night? More kids? Any new talent?

There were no Express tryouts last night??

last page - someone (coach, director) getting the word out. " going to make a push for Denver if that's something you are interested in. "
Just trying to keep it real.

was anyone at the S2S tryout last night? Curious how the turnout was.

Recon B beat Outlaws this year . Recon B is gonna get better this year . They are the best team of those 3 .

Igloo Middie that was at Express can and has played both positions (Mid/Att). Excellent player that will be a huge loss for Igloo and a great pick up for Express if he goes. Express better add some new players if they want to win in Denver as constructed now there better players wont be able to play.

Channy doesn't care if they show up to practices, as long as the check clears.

Only Igloo player at Express tryouts was a defenseman. Don't worry about Express. Team is in great shape for Denver. Start trolling some other team or come out of your hole and identify yourself

A number of reasons. 3 dad coaches (nothing wrong with that in some cases) aka daddy ball, did not win much, I am sure the kids were excited to go to practice and play games.

I agree. Recon B coach works very well with his team and the players respond well to him. Hands down, I would definitely choose him over Outlaws B.

Heard Outlaws picked up some very good players from other teams. Are there spots still available going into Saturday? My son is on one of the "AA" programs, but I am getting ticked off from the expanded rosters and off-the-island players, thinking of making the switch.

You sure know a lot for someone who is not on the team. It's funny how all of a sudden there is negative stuff said about Recon right before their tryouts.

What team do you think you are going to go to where there will be no daddy coaches, please let us know.

False, there best Midfielder was at the tryout. He also played on the Brine team with some of the Express kids. Keep telling yourself that Igloo isn't falling apart. I will be honest Igloo does have nice swag, hahahahaha.

So your son plays for Express . . .?!

If you're in that area you should have checked out S2S. The coaches seem nice

Why do people care about Denver? Just a honest question. What is the extra cost per player/family? Airfare. Hotel. Etc. 3k? Bring the family and 5k? I seriously dont get it. Enlighten me please!!
