[quote=Anonymous]Which organization is the best at teaching, training and developing the kids to become better lax players? I'm not asking for the best or top team but for the lacrosse club that teaches and produces better player.
Everyone will give you a different answer, but look for the one that keeps the sticks in their hands the most. Love them or hate them, but 91 includes weekly trainings all winter and then both teams supplement with box training and tourneys so you’re getting training a minimum of 2x a week. I think Igloo offers weekly winter clinics too, but last year they were in Queens. Not sure what Express does, but I think the do some box tourneys. Not sure about the training though. A lot of the smaller teams have awesome coaching, but may not have access to the same amount of time as the bigger clubs. Express does 3 fall tourneys, 10-15 fall practices, intensive winter skills training by top instructor George Powers and box F$G runs many clinics throughout the year, during Sept. and Oct. they have a clinic once a week plus an hour and a half of practice time, in the fall there is another two hours a week of indoor clinics, in the winter they do box. They keep the kids busy all year round.

That's just team practice, what are they doing to work on skills and improving the skill set and lax IQ of the kids. Two points: 1. if your team practices don't regularly include drills that improve skills and lax IQ, your coach isn't doing practices right! Supplementing team practices with clinics/sessions that emphasize positional situations and skills is great, but they should be supplemental - not the only source for those development opportunities. Pro athletes still go through such drills and exercises as part of their day-in-day-out team practices, so please spare me any argument on this point. 2. Unless your team winter workouts are on a full field and limited to game situation instruction, then almost all teams' winter workouts are pretty much limited to skill development, IE in direct contrast to your inferred critique.

All of that happens with the head coach. you need to find one who knows what they are talking about and truly cares about the kids

Some of the bigger organizations hold open clinics during the winter outside of team practice for skills and IQ. Leg and Outlaws both offer that. I’m not sure about the other bigs.

What do you think its going to be free, if they put in the time and effort to train your kid and your happy with clinics/program, yea there should be a cost.

Why is Legacy in the "C" division at the Columbus Day Invitational? I'm sure they could take Outlaws and 3 Village easily. Any thoughts?

I think they lost a lot of players from last year's team so maybe they are taking it slow out of the gate but they are playing in basically the B bracket of their own tournament.

Legacy didn't take tryouts too serious. Heard there were no evaluations. Guys with clipboards goofing around and not writing the better players down. Too bad... they could have been a contender.

Every team has practices and does fall tournaments, what are they doing different or more than any other team. More doesn't always equal better, just as different doesn't always equal better. Provided the quality is equal, I might opt for less because my kid is committed to other sports in the fall and winter. I also may opt for an equal quantity for less money, again assuming the quality is close to equal. And the whole quality aspect of this is 100% subjective as well - there are many different coaching styles and some may be better fits for certain types of players than others. This plays out in ALL sports at ALL levels, including the pros. I'd say that the OP's Q is not a simple one to answer - there are a lot of variables that would go into the mix to answer that Q. You can't simplify something that is not simple to start with. Considering no one here knows any details about the OP's son, his ability/experience, location, finances, etc, no one here is going to be able to provide a truly meaningful answer - basically all he is going to get is a lot of recommendations for the most well know/established clubs, which I could easily argue are not the best options for many of reasons the variables mentioned.

It’s a scrimmage, so you won’t see it on tourney machine. If that’s what you are looking for.

As far as the 2023 division goes:
Outlaws, express, empire, and three village are all good teams.

Ducks were originally slotted for this round robin play I guess they opted out and entered the East Islip tournament. The TrueBlue team in the East Islip tournament is the B team. Looks like crappy weather anyway so the round robin thing may not even happen. Good luck to all playing on Monday.

Everyone will give you a different answer, but look for the one that keeps the sticks in their hands the most. Love them or hate them, but 91 includes weekly trainings all winter and then both teams supplement with box training and tourneys so you’re getting training a minimum of 2x a week. I think Igloo offers weekly winter clinics too, but last year they were in Queens. Not sure what Express does, but I think the do some box tourneys. Not sure about the training though. A lot of the smaller teams have awesome coaching, but may not have access to the same amount of time as the bigger clubs. Express does 3 fall tourneys, 10-15 fall practices, intensive winter skills training by top instructor George Powers and box F$G runs many clinics throughout the year, during Sept. and Oct. they have a clinic once a week plus an hour and a half of practice time, in the fall there is another two hours a week of indoor clinics, in the winter they do box. They keep the kids busy all year round. True Blue has 10-15 practices, 1-2 tournaments in the fall, winter training indoors from Coach Cat, and then summer ball begins. You couldn't pay me to have my kid coached by JC. Total tool bag. What is your obsession with JC, we get it you don't like him, move on. The guy is a good coach and is great with the kids.

[quote=Anonymous]Which organization is the best at teaching, training and developing the kids to become better lax players? I'm not asking for the best or top team but for the lacrosse club that teaches and produces better player.
Everyone will give you a different answer, but look for the one that keeps the sticks in their hands the most. Love them or hate them, but 91 includes weekly trainings all winter and then both teams supplement with box training and tourneys so you’re getting training a minimum of 2x a week. I think Igloo offers weekly winter clinics too, but last year they were in Queens. Not sure what Express does, but I think the do some box tourneys. Not sure about the training though.

I think a lot of people don't like him. It's not just one person.

And almost none of them have probably ever had a kid coached by him either, so opinions from afar are just that - less than informed. And while it may be a vocal group here on BOTC, it might not really constitute a lot in the actual scheme of things.

I don't know if all the others have the same bad experience that my son has had.

fellas TB is a good team Coach Cat is a good coach. Im sure there are a ton of people that don't like him or the organization just like a ton of people hate Express, 90+1 and Igloo. People hate BM, AA and JS not really sure why and i don't care. I really wish people had better intentions on here but unfortunately they don't. Just looking to bash a program or coach thats the norm. I know some jerk off will respond and say thats what this is for so whatever. Listen whatever team you play on you obviously like your coach and organization, so good luck with your team but please stop bashing other teams its shallow and uncalled for. If you think you team is the best great if another guy thinks his team is the best great in the end who gives a [lacrosse]. None of this matters until these kids sign with a college and 90% of them will not be D-1. Whatever I guess I'm in the minority i Just want my son to have fun first get better and learn the game, but who am I.

S2S B isnt playing?[/quote]
Not sure. One of the guys I sit with on the train told me both s2s teams are supposed to be there. And the ducks are listed on the east Islip tourney. I hope they aren't playing igloo and tb a teams. [/quote]
Schedule I have shows S2S (Kelly) and S2S (Hagans) playing in '23 'bracket'. Don't know if TB A or B team is playing there, but I suspect it is B.[/quote]
Is tjis schedule poatwd somewhere?[/quote]
Your coach knows the details.[/quote]
On Monday there is a four team round robin S2S A and B, Igloo A and TrueBlue A. Ducks were originally slotted for this round robin play I guess they opted out and entered the East Islip tournament. The TrueBlue team in the East Islip tournament is the B team. Looks like crappy weather anyway so the round robin thing may not even happen. Good luck to all playing on Monday.
[/quote]
Tough sledding for s2s b team. They probably havent even played a game yet and they are playing 3 a teams? Good luck. True blue vs igloo vs s2s a should be good though.

This TB guy is relentless with the self promotion. Give it a break. Every day we are subjected to how you justify yourself as an A team.

Your right an absolute blowout, we shouldn't even show up. We are going to lose all 3 games by double digits. Thanks for letting us TB parents know how bad we are. I had such high hopes this year. My man you really are a jerkoff.

It may be a tough day for S2S b but kudos to them for giving it a go. I am intetested to swe how they do. It will be their first time as a team playing an actual game. And remember this is a scrimage, nothing more (although I assume there will be lots of chest beating). Good luck to all the kids playong this weekend. Hope someone will report on how it went.
