Great group of kids and parents. Period.

Great Organization, tuition is really reasonable, they are there for the players and families with very little turnover of players that are committed to them and the coaching is great on both teams.  Yes, coaching does have it perks if you have a kid. I don’t think it is a negative thing and playing time if definitely earned, but the only way to avoid that is to go to a team with unattached coaches or coaches that stay with set year. But typically coaches with kids on the team have more vested interest in making that team as a whole better, and keeping the kids together to grow, and not there just for a pay check.

Roster is a little big on both the A and B team (not sure about the other ages).  Hopefully they scale it down a little so the kids can have more playing time and it would resolve that. 

Definitely need a few more practices added through throughout fall and summer but they will compete well this year, even if these so called kids do go to TB that everyone keeps on posting about.

Tryout are probably one of the cheapest around. Come out and see for yourself what is all about.  Ask them question there, or if you get a call.  They are all standup guys and will tell you how it is.

You are totally wrong! Only one Igloo kid at Express and he was definitely a defenseman.

I agree with you 100% I think with the change in the recruiting rules the rush to sign kids out of Denver is over why not take your family on a extended vacation.

Think twice before you leave.

Very good players from what "other teams?" Are the Outlaws "A" looking to revamp their entire roster or just tweak it?

So I suggest you not tryout for Recon and I hope that those people who are not happy go elsewhere, although as far as I know, everyone seemed pretty happy.
No team is perfect and I for one am happy not to have to go to tournaments to watch my kid not play! Not every kid gets equal play time, but every one plays. Also, weather it's "daddy coaches" or favorite players or teams wanting to win at all cost some kids will get preferential treatment.

It took sometime, but Outlaws have rebuild 2023 Select. Do not miss those parents from a few years ago
Still probably looking for a couple kids this weekend to finalize.
My Son has been on team a few years, and we love it.
Over 50 practices last year

Family memory?

If you really were part of Express and really were at Brine, you would realize your mistake....Really infatuated by Igloo midfielder huh? Maybe your son should have tried out for them. Oh wait their tryouts are over....Sorry!!

You guys have two great coaches. Good luck during the upcoming season.

Don't think any AA players will go to Outlaws until they prove themselves more, it might be a step back.

Sounds like a desperate advertisement from an organization that has now lost at least two more starters this year by choice not because they didn't make the team. If it was so great you would not have to tell everyone about your 50 practices and a few spots still available. Good try though.

How many do they have at each position? How many goalies do they carry?

So Outlaws select has a coach with a son on the team?

Who said anything about writing checks, if you are good and coming from out of state, director will make a deal. Capisce

North of 3k I hear

What starters left?

Seemed that many returning players were not there or wore different helmets

Roster was a bit big last year. That will be corrected . As. Stated before the Recon B team was a mixed team. This years roster shouldn't be more than 23-24 at most ...
9-mid
6-att
6-def
1-fogo
1-2 goalies

And yes the coaches kids play on the team
B goalie is the coaches kid ... almost always played the second half . I think that was by design . Kid had a tough year . Team had small leads or was behind at half a lot . Other B team coach plays D I think as for the A team ... I'm not sure where they play

Recons starting 10 can hang with anyone, besides the top 5, they need to develop some depth.

The team did not lose two starters.

No. Neither coach has a son on the team.

Thanks coach

Just a ploy to get kids at tryouts this weekend...

None

Thanks for the insight. Go Northstars!

Yes! Give express your money and you can show up to practice when you want. Most clubs wouldn't [lacrosse] their teams out like that. It's the Express way.

I don't think either of the two teams lost their core starters...

Why so many middies, or are LSM included in those numbers?

What teams did the B team play?

Where did BM go?

Hello Mr. Anonymous.......Call me and I'll be happy to speak with you about anything to do with Recon Lacrosse. Harry Jacobs 516-315-3002.......I'll wait for your call!

What other director would put their name and # on this board and ask for a phone call, way to go Mr. Jacobs, your a class guy and so is your organization. From everything you do with Shootout for Soldiers, the community service you arrange for the players, and the way Recon lacrosse is run. Thanks for all you do and happy to be part of Recon lacrosse.

BM is still at Leg a cee. Tornados will pick up some players this year.

Is BM going to Recon?

Harry, I don't know you but that is awesome. But we know the loser won't call. He's hiding behind his computer as usual. Pathetic

That is a good question. I wonder if he is still there

None

That's because they tried out for other team's and couldn't make it. Still a mediocre team that plays in bad tournaments against B teams.

They ABSOLUTELY did lose starters
