BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2023 - 7th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

If you could read I asked for teams signed up. Not a schedule.

Will igloo make an appearance

Incorrect. In the past FL$ has taken 30 kids. They will give out more than 30 offers because they know not everyone will accept. Sometimes 30 do accept. Last year the 2021Nassau team had 9 attack and a hand full of defense because all the attack accepted the offer. They moved attack players to defense. They still had more than 6 attack.

SYAG will be there also, and this year we will beat igloo,express,91,S2S and the rest of the teams to win it all.

Why would you say that, I know for a fact they get good turnouts at there tryouts, I'm not sure however of the talent of the kids.

SYAG won't be there because Igloo traditionally plays in this one. SYAG coach's kid along with another player are on Igloo.

TB is entering.

Who is SYAG?

I live in Sachem and it's so confusing/frustrating on the youth level. SSC, SYAG, Rising Elite (north only) waiting on something from the East side, LI premiere and the East and North clubs. Add to that, all the good kids play club. All that and it doesn't translate to the High School teams.

Yeah baby, I love it!! Any teams other than ours practicing this weekend?

We are talking about the 2023 team.

We're not. I'm paying $2,600 and only 20 practices they claim as a minimum. Not sure when those practices will happen..

FL$ gets about 40 to 50 kids at tryouts. Sometimes a few more. In the old days they would limit tryout numbers it to 69 kids and it would be filled in one week. So the best players would go to them. It has changed now. This is now a last resort team for most. Not all but most. Until a few years ago they did not have any teams younger than 7th or 6th grade. They are relatively new to youth lacrosse. They need to make changes in the way the do things to get back to the glory days. They need to make changes at the youth level to attract talented kids , develop and keep kids from leaving. It is a shame because they have so many college connections but they now lack the talent to do anything for the kids.

All teams are picked the the same way . You could have 9 attack, 12 Middies, 10 poles the way they do things. You have been lucky so far that has not happened yet but it could happen.

Does anyone know the cost to play per club? regardless of A or B?

$2,600 20 practices to $3,000 60 practices A/B

I don't think they lack talent, they have some very good players, just not sure how deep the team is.

A lot of talk about F$G, but it seems like nobody knows how competitive this team is, just curious are they any good

no, they dont even have a 2024 team.

What in the world does that have to do with how good there 2023 team is.

For people to be paying this kind of money they must be a very good team.

You sound excited about practing this weekend. Thats cute!! I remember my sons first practice. HaHaHa. You are late to the game buddy.... we been practicing for weeks now. Already booked our flight to Denver.

they had one last year but they were awful

They don't have anymore A teams. All are B level teams except for 2019 and 2020 which is B plus. From 2021 and younger they are B level and get worse each year.

Syag,trying to make it a program. Trash at the top. High school teams stink. Join Soccer. Jokes on you!!!

SYAG (I mean Empire/Warriors/Igloo/Bandits) not practicing this weekend.

Syag is made up of sachem and empire kids that can't make any other team so they tend to stick together. B team at best

Can somebody tell me when is last time Sachem won anything at high school level in lax?

Complete Losers. We are hanging out with the family enjoying the last few days of summer. When your kid is sidelined for overuse injuries, and is a burn out in 10th grade with major anxiety problems because you forced him to fulfill your dream in life, don't wonder what happened.

Hahahahahaha great post

The youth program construct doesn't set up success on the next level.

LOL so not true but whatever

There's no reason for that team to be called SYAG anymore. Most of the starters are from other towns and play for other teams.

This topic is so old. Get over the name already and move on.
They have 23 or so kids on the roster, 4 from other towns.

Yet another "A team" idiot = if your team is not AA, it"s B!

F$G has very strong teams, they have excellent coaching, run great clinics that attract kids from many different teams,

You are so off on your opinion, they are always looking too improve and bring in new kids.

No such thing as AA. There is A and B. AA is a marketing tool. Anyone who gets fooled by that never played a sport and will never understand.

But there is a B plus?

How about AAA?
