I believe Legacy will be much improved as well! Tryouts looked like there was a ton of talent there. I did hear tho some parents complaining about some kids being offered them playing for free. Is that legal? Well could they get much worse? They were awful last year, my goodness I think Zummo should give the parents their money back for that failure! He had them travel all over the place shelling out all kinds of cash and got NOTHING in return! Zummo is scammer for sure !!

We This outlaws 2022 Team with 100% be improved. Upgrade at goalie kid from 91. Two west I slip midfielders who are studs. Two empire defense men one argued to be the best on the island. An express and an igloo attackmen both being added to the roster as well.
No one will be able to tell how good any of these teams will be, but I'm looking forward to the competitive atmosphere that will come in the upcoming month. Though we all compete with each other to almost pathetic ends that's why college coaches come to see these Long Island boys play. They love the competiveness and you don't have to be on a top 5 team to go top 10 d1. I will promise you that. The best kids get seen and the best kids get recruited. Everyone has a spot to play in college. Just have to find the right fit. Let your kids do what they want to do and stop playing through them.
As for the player who left the outlaws there is no need to bash a 12-13 year old kid. He's an amazing talent and will be missed. Stinks we didn't have him most of summer but I hope he recovers well from his injury and has success in the future.
What is the first fall tournament we will see the top teams on the island at?
Honestly? The best defender on LI is from Empire? Lets be real.... Yes... Empire.. we almost took Express out this year at Laxfest. Go play horseshoes on the beach. You will have a better chance of winning. Empire will be very competitive this year You sound like the Outlaws losers ! Stop talking about it and start showing it! So bitter!

Was at the 91 tryout yesterday. Spallina says he will be helping coach the 2022AA team and JR will be playing with them 80% of the time. It looks like the AA is going to be adding size and speed at all positions. They are going to be much better than last years Super Team. A team is also going to be much better. they are are also adding a 3rd team. Interesting a 3rd team. 7 teams at the grade between them and Express.

That's always a concern when you go beyond 2. Need to have a coach that is 100% committed. I think one of the most frustrating things in club lax is when your son is not on the 1st team and the 1st team is practicing and getting better and your team is shut down for winter and spring and the coach doesn't know how to reply to emails.

Witch igloo attackmen went to Outlaws A or b team Its all BS. The Outlaw parents will say anything to convince themselves that they are actually good! They say the same crap every year and every year they are mediocre at best! So pathetic It was the kid who played for Igloo A in sixth grade and took last year off to play hockey. Good pickup but doesn't hurt Team Penguin at all.

I have a serious question. When these travel teams have a tryout is there even spots open or do they just take your money in hopes your child can make the team? I have seen too many tryouts where kids not just mine had played very well and did not make the team? What are they looking for?

What are they looking for? most teams at this age are taking return players and there are not a lot of spots open( if any) or they are looking for specific positions to fill and probably already know which kids are coming ...

In all fairness, the coaches (and organizations) also know who is actually looking to move from the top teams and who is there for the workout - so if your son is already on a good team and doesn't get an offer it may be because they don't think he would take it anyway (this is when having a frank discussion helps). Seen this at the Express and 91 tryouts where evaluators have said not to bother with a kid with a certain helmet because "if he was serious about coming over here, we would have known about it already."

Spots are always open. Some are earned, but in most cases the club knows a kid is coming down because most of the better players are known. I doubt Express AA added any offensive players that will contribute. And if they did add, they are just parents who politically got their kid on the team. That means they will likely struggle to see the field.

Hilarious how folks put down other teams, other children who are 12/13. If 1 organization was perfect there would not be 20 teams on Long island. Worry about your own child and your own coach. Perhaps look in the mirror and let it go Dad. Legacy will have a great year like they did last year. Great group of parents. Great group of Children. Great group of coaches. Good luck to all the boys this year.

What does everyone think of 91 2022A? I see them as a solid team who competed in all AA tournaments last year and saw great competition.

Sounds like you answer your own question, no need anyone else's opinion when yours comes first.

My son was picked on this team, from what I understand they basically kept same kids plus or minus a few. So if they play in a B division we will win a lot of games. If we play in a A division we will lose a lot of games. I guess we see what happens. Great coaching is why i'm staying!

They'll be line Express Schwalje and Igloo B. I'll guess they will be on par or better than 2nd tier A teams at the age.

Good Team, Well coached, Lots of Practices, Tuition includes winter DLT training which is awesome. I also think they be practicing with the AA Team this year. If you want your kid to get better it's a good solid choice.

I have a son at this age and all the kids seem to know each other, This is what I am hearing; 1. Express A - didn't make many changes that will effect them. 1st team will be very good as usually but a lot of the second teamers left or will be on there B Team. 2. Igloo - added a few player but i don't think they will have a big impact, already a very solid team. 3. 91 - probably made the most changes, lost a lot of players and added some real talent. Only 22/21 players on the team maybe even less. Won't be surprised if they are the team to beat. 4. Outlaws - Lost 1 good player but added a bunch of good players - significant upgrade from last year. 5. Leeegeeeceee - added a bunch of players from 91 AA will be much improved. Thoughts? Let's keep it factually and positive. Should be a fun year with this group.

Here is the frustrating part with these teams. They are not good enough to compete with the Top 5 teams in the AA bracket. They kill all the B teams that they play so those games suck to watch. There is very little competitive lacrosse in this bracket on Long Island !

There are plenty of tournaments that have A team divisions that are not AA teams - it's like the whole lax world wants to pretend that there is not a whole swath of talent between AA teams and true B teams. It's a major reason youth lax is so far down the curve when compared to other sports. The A teams from many of the non-Igloo/Express/91 clubs are very good, and are not B (talent) teams.

My son played on 9D1 A team last year. We beat up on B teams and Struggled against true A teams like Outlaws, Express, just to name a few. There is a big gap in talent between AA, A, and B no doubt about it!
