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

Why are they gone? What happened?

To sum up this whole thread for the last couple of years. There is a lot of jealousy against the WP\Taz teams. Argue all you want with me, take the threads and put them all together. These 2 teams run the LI show and a lot of people are jealous. Bashing parents you don't know and kids that truly work hard is a waste of time. Best thing you can do is make these teams or beat them consistently, other than that stop the craziness.

I guess the parents finally figured out that the program was just not that good after all....

so Wolfpack is playing in the mustang classic while Taz, express, madlax, bethesda, 91 MD are in Delaware. Weak.

coaches benched the owner's kid. Owner had a pissy fit

So because the coach bench one kid you scrap 3 teams? That makes no sense plus they are still on the website. I can't see them refunding people their money and saying good luck find another team. I am sure they've ordered uniforms, helmets, paid for indoor training and all of that. If they did scrapped 3 teams rather than fire a coach you're pissed at that would be the worst business owner in the world.

You're lumping a lot of people into one group - some may be jealous, but some are just thoroughly put off by the utter pomposity - there is a reason humility is a positive character trait . . .

WP not doing Mustang

Lmao. And every woman wants you right. Funny [lacrosse], get over yourself and your sons team.

When are the owner of these clubs going man up and make age based teams?They will still make the same money!!! the parents will stop the name calling and accusing the coaches of cheating when they win. and You know everyone would get along much better on the sidelines knowing that it is a fair playing field.

What changed?

WP taking fall off.

why? Because they don’t want to drive five hours to freeze their asses for fall ball? Sounds pretty smart if you ask me. Plus isn’t it FB playoff season?

How boring for those kids

Don't you worry, when all these teams are getting ready to go to Denver next year and none of their holdbacks are eligible to go, they will be rethinking their rosters and throwing their holdbacks to the curb. Or they can choose to stay home with all of the Maryland/Massachusetts teams that aren't eligible for the WSYL because of their holdbacks. It will all sort itself out.

I've yet to see a cogent argument about why they wouldn't make as much money, so yeah I agree.

Says the guy who has no clue about the reams of studies that show why it is NOT the way to run youth sports and is the the basis of why EVERY other youth sport has moved to age-based play. The decision to play up is supposed to lie with the child/parent of the YOUNGER player, NOT the decision of the child/player of the OLDER player! This type of thinking is exactly what keeps lacrosse (or anything else, for that matter!) from progressing and/or maturing. So, no cogent argument for grade-based play once again!

As stated a million times on here, every single other competitive youth sport is AGE BASED. Why can't lacrosse follow these simple rules? It works out for everyone else, why not the lacrosse community? Fair is fair.

US Lacrosse Age & Eligibility

Youth football also has a weight limit for each age group - this could also be implemented. This would make things really fair.

Your comment is probably sarcasm (you never know anymore!), but considering how much they've removed checking from lacrosse, why bother . . .?!

says the guy who thinks we care. My kid plays up and still runs circles around holdbacks. So put you kid in dance and stop complaining.

What world are you from? Over 80% of both of the teams rosters are hold backs. What do

JUST LET THE KIDS PLAY AND HAVE FUN. WASTE OF TIME.... COMPLAINING. look at it this way . your child will only get better playing against stronger players.. Your child will have everything to gain. Remember its only 11 year old lacrosse

Did you spend all day coming up with that retort??! All other sports have already figured this out, so ALL of those people, who happen to dwarf the lax world, cared. USL cares, or they wouldn't be bothered to try and implement age-based play. I love people that make the "I'm right and EVERYONE else is wrong" argument - it's kind of like declaring that the world is flat in 2017, with about as much reasoning put into the conclusion. YOU choose to have your son play up - good for you! That's the way it's supposed to be!! But, you're too dumb to see that point and how it diminishes the rest of your case. The choice shouldn't be with older players deciding that younger players have to play 'up' against them. Both my sons do just fine on good teams and against other teams, holdbacks or not - here's a novel concept for your narrow minded brain: people can actually strive to improve things even if they're not a 'victim', but simply because they see that it's the best thing to do for EVERYONE. Those are the people that are leaders and innovators. As opposed to you, who comes across as more of a "go along to get along" type... you know - a follower!

Don't want to harp on an irrelevant comment but there are no weight limits for youth football in pal and middle school, at least not in suffolk

NCYFL has weight limits for all ages.

Mad Daddy, where you been hiding? Got tired of stalking the good people of LI, with your childish games? Heard you found new prey on the MD board. Word has it, your annoying antics have made Madlax the most hated youth travel team in the mid-Atlantic. Congrats! All of that Madlax crap can really annoy the sh*t out of people, don't you think, Mad Daddy??

Nobody believes for a sec that any of the posts are Madlax. We know it was you. See you in Delaware!

Ha you make me laugh. Leader , you come on back of the cage and degrade people and that is the actions of a LEADER? Hahaha. More the actions of a COWARD. If you want change do something about it. I suggest you start somewhere else beacause this is not the forum to do it. Otherwise , enough with all your excuses. Go cry in your coffe somewhere else. As long as your kid is getting good training that should be enough. It's 11 year old lacrosse , again 11 year old lacrosse. Eventually it all evens out when it really matters............ Real Leaders for see the future, and work on the thins that really matter.

Let's break down your post. You spend your Saturday nights trolling a website about 6th grade lacrosse. There haven't been any Madlax posts on LI thread in a while, so you attack Madlax for being annoying. Then you pat yourself on the back for your creepy posts on the MD thread. Get a life, loser.

Some good match ups next weekend in Delaware. MadLax v Express, Taz v Bethesda.... will be fun to watch.

Only 1 game. Long trip for 1 game.

Says the guy who has led nothing in his life - seems as though I may have hit too close for home for you! Thou does protest too much. Enjoy your fantasy land!

Its a tourney. Looks like a lot of the top teams at all the age groups.

all good here . Keep making excuses !!! Very sad ..

How was this confirmed and by whom? I have no horse in this race- I just want to know how one "confirms" this info.

Confirmed by WHOM?

Im STILL trying to find out.. Who "confirms" this information? Taz parents? LOL

And when will the "confirmation" of the 2-3 kids that are older that play on TAZ be released..... At the end of the day Taz got their win... if accusations are being flown....why not address the "older" kids on Taz/// or do we not speak of that

EVERY top team has 2005 birthdays. Wait until you see MD and PA

Do they have 2004 birthdays?
