BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024 - 6th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

You’re probably right, they are closing in, but at this rate it won’t be until our kids graduate Hopkins! No doubt, this age is the slowest grade to make any significant improvement, outside the two AA teams in the history of LI youth lacrosse. Dude! They are in 6th grade and most kids at this age play like they are still in 2nd grade! What’s up with that?? Something in the water in Nassau that stunts all the kids lacrosse growth?! If it’s not that, must be the parents. Based on what I know about the parents, I’m going with the latter!!

KEENAN is out?? Wow, did I call that one!!

Your new defenseman is in 7th grade. 100% confirmed. Played for Haugen's 2023 team last year. Came to Schwalje late in the summer season after some injuries.

Do you still not think there is a 7th grader on your team?

Taz ## is a holdback. One of the mothers on the Taz team has a big mouth and told my wife. You people are too funny.

The man just had heart surgery. Get a clue

Do NOT put kids numbers on here!

Anyone have thoughts on the Dukes Nationals? Worth the time and money?

You people are all crazy. Taz/ wp are great teams. Express is also a very good team. We should all want great competition for our kids. We are insulting kids coaches and organizations. Isn't the idea of this to get better and have good competition. Hopefully be a great HS player and maybe get the chance to get into a better college. We are talking about kids and coaches like they are professional athletes. People have REAL problems on this world. Like losing a job or being sick. It's awful to read this crap on here. Stop insulting people. Usually it means your unhappy with your own life. If Sixth grade lacrosse and beating taz or Wp is that important to you then clearly your priorities are messed up.

Let's clean this age group up and share positive info. I for one hope the Long Island teams all get better and compete for years to come. I'm sure there will be a bunch of BS comments after this post. Unfortunately I have had my own tough family situations recently and am part of the LI lax community. We have had some tragic situations this year and it still does not keep people on this thread from writing meaningless hurtful words. People have real problems. Appreciate and respect the game and your opponents. One day they will be your teammates

Hold backs are any boys born before 8/31 2005 ... goes from 8/20005-8/2006

What are you talking about?????? Hold backs are referring to school... Holding a child back a grade.... In NY the date is either 12/1 or 12/15 depending on the district. If you are born any time before that you are considered a holdback. No one other than you are making your child off grade..

Other parts of the country have different dates..

You have to talk sports . There are mixed years in most sports Hold backs are not an excuse . I know more kids that play up and are more atheletic than these so called hold backs . It all evens out by 7th , 8th grade.. Can't teach , speed and athleticism. If your kid is an Athlete he will always be one. You will see. So with the hold back theory . Someone who is born 11/30 and his parents held him back in kindergarten or what ever grade . Is much better then a kid who is born 12/2 . Or 1/2 . So the days or month makes that child a much better lacrosse player? Or athele? Days and months do not matter much, 1 year or more does ... only in the younger years. Just an opinion .

well said and agree..

Honey, this website is our mancave. Us guys burp, fart and use foul language here, and occasionally make fun of each other, all in good man fun. You will not understand that because I’m certain you are not a man. If you don’t like our mancave, I suggest you find a gals-only website, and talk about your feelings with other ladies, because our cave ain’t never going to be all soft and cuddly!

Didn’t WP Crush Eclipse right after that, in the championship?

This is ludicrous. This website should be shut down for lots of reasons. But wth!?! Why would BOTC choose to protect the Tazzie sickos who choose to "burp, fart, use foul language" in their "mancaves"?? The Tazzies are the ones singling out 11 yr old boys. Just go back and look at all the lies and filth they posted about the Dukes attackman when he left Taz, or the Madlax middie when Madlax beat Taz. The Tazzies have no problem posting #s and cyberbullying kids. They dish it out, but they can't take it. If BOTC is going to pretend to protect these young kids and their families, BOTC needs to do it across the board -- not the team that is the worst offender.

BOTC didn't allow the posting of his number and, that looks to be their new policy. I don't like all of the bluster coming from Taz (and WP), but "meh" on this rant . . .

That's just it. It isn't a new policy. BOTC is supposed to block all identification of players. But there are kids that are posted about on a weekly basis (including their number). If BOTC is going to protect kids, they need to do it consistently across the board. The last team they should be protecting is Taz. The Tazzies (and WP too) are the ones fueling most of the filth on this site. If they are going to dish it out, they should be prepared to reap what they sow.

Stop the wining ladies!! If you don’t like the website then why the [lacrosse] are you on it?!! Try the girls thread and leave the heavy lifting for the men!!

A B team rules LI while there are multiple great teams in MD. LOL.

I heard you're a pro with a foot long and no bun

Hmmm... who is the pro with the foot long? I believe it is you that is royally screwed. Best of luck to your son under the tutelage of JK.

heard all coaches from all teams quitting, Tired of all the Parents on BOTC.
