How many fall tournaments is the team playing in and which ones

Why do you care so much? Why don’t you just worry about your kid”s team?

Same old igloo

Blatant
Octoberfest
NAFLA Invitational

Where is 9D1 tomorrow too?

Saw igloo B, outlaws and legacy play today, despite the weather, those teams seem very evenly mathched and all seem excellent, could beat an A team on any given day, not to at they are A teams just saying they looked very good.

Igloo is the team to beat

Yeah igloo!!!!!!!!!! Best fall event coming up in less than a month. Elite eighty baby. No other organization can get all those head coaches from top programs. Go TA

pay to watch. any org that wants to pay coaches that kind of money can welcome the same. whatever we know it is the best event in the universe

Interesting topic to debate. Is it better to play B than A if your team is an A as designated by the club, but really not A talent. I ask because True Blue, E3 and the Knights had some tough match ups today. Do the kids take anything positive from that? Or is better just climb to the top the B tier and then move up. My opinion, no benefit to playing A unless you can compete. There is losing and learning and then there is just getting blown out.

Who won the ship today at Legacy's event? Tourney Machine went quiet...

Hi y'all what's the order of Express teams now from best on down?
1) Express chanachuck
2)?
3)?
4)?

hey idiot the tourney was cancelled due to bad weather and will be reached so stop stirring the pot.

Let me tell you pot stirring tools something, Express may have figured it out because both those teams after WSYL champs look legit! Is going to be interesting and not to mention, still some movement over there. Teams are not done and still adding pieces. Channy gonna give you guys some more talk about.

Agree. Better work you can do, kids are into it, working towards getting better. Sure, you can learn a lot and developed by playing against better comp, but blowout level does nothing positive.

Good question.

My son was on a B level team for 3-4 years but recently made 2-3 high end A teams and we eventually decided to join one. He had offers past two years but we waited until he was good enough to make a true A level team then jump to a below average A team just to say we were on one. I have seen others do this - all smiles when Johnny is on Blah Blah A team and then they get smacked some B team or blown ouut by a true A. They start screaming about $, bad coaching, etc when is reality that A team is probably not better then the B team they were on but play at harder tournaments so they get smoked.

I think I made the right decision and feel good about it. Will see how it works out.

Mother Nature

Here is the interesting piece that I do not want you to think I am a pot stirer but, True Blue, Knights and E3 were complete blowouts, which proves your son's can not play in the big leagues yet regardless of what your coach says. Hence the word, yet. This comes down to the parents talking a big game that their respective teams are "A", when in reality, they clearly are not. When your club organization only plays you in B, C and D divisions (yes D Division @ Yale Bull Dog), you may win, but you have to look at the competition. Play with the top B/B+ teams and see how you do. Then you can beat your chest when you destroy them. I am referring to solid club teams such as Igloo B (which is really an A-), Express Schwalije, Express Chuck, Hitment and Legacy. Until you face these teams, you absolutely can not call your club team that your son plays on A. Just saying...

After posting this driving off the nearest road should be option one. These are young boys and it's early October. Get a hobby express daddy

Legacy would have shocked the WSYL champs

When you infer that the entirety of A teams in any grade on LI is limited to ~5 teams, your commentary is immediately dismissed, as is anyone else's who makes a similar claim . . .

It was pouring and hard to gauge just playing them for 25 minutes, but Legacy B definitely added talent and improved over last year.

Schedule is out for this weekend. GC34 looks like the favorite. Although, don't know anything about GSLA. Garden State Lacrosse Academy.

Wow just looked at the line up...talk about a B tourney at best..

Lighten up Rabil. It's Fall Ball. You must have been something back in the day....

thanks for stating the obvious Mr simple mind small wood !

Idiot? My sons team was supposed to play them yesterday and tournament got canceled..Valid question..with the new teams added by Express this year and kids moved around I'm curious to know how the teams rank talent wise from best on down..
Why so bitter anonoumus tough guy??

Channy, then whoever does the best at the Columbus Day tourney makeup. Let how they play be the deciding factor, since all 3 are in it and face common opponents. Otherwise, it's waste to guess. Kudos to Top Lacrosse for trying reschedule those games. That's what will make people want to return next year!

I heard they were trying to reschedule it as well; anyone have info?

Heard they are making it up this Saturday afternoon, but have yet to get any times.

3pm, 4pm and 5pm

Looks like it won't be this weekend due to field conditions.

CANCELLED

Because of the fields, but now it looks like the forecast has changed and 80 degrees on Sunday.

Tourney machine not updating scores. How is havoc going ?

Huh, its tomorrow for 2022's.....

Low scoring games

Are there any A teams in the Havic tournament or just B and town teams? That's not 9D1s A team is it?

It is their second team.

So the player from Express, who played in the WSYL, played for 91 Florida today. That’s a little ridiculous, no? What’s with that family? Are they just completely nuts? Someone on the sodelines said that he plays for Express 2022??? Please, someone explain this to me.

Sounds like you already explained it to yourself. Now go get a life or better yet ask that director what she's doing next and live through her
