Wp is not even in top 3 maybe top 5. It’s madlax and taz and then everyone else

Sorry, can’t put the Pack at number one when I haven’t played anyone this year. And they have an added anyone new to the team.

Northern VA (or "Capital" as you like to say) is MD, in youth lacrosse, as you know.

But I do LOVE your comment... "and no COMEBACKS". That has to be the only accurate statement you have made on this website. Congrats!

Question: Rumor has it that your biggie midi holdback is going to play on-age this spring. Any truth to that?

If so, do you know what the parents motivation is?

Maybe they feel like he isn't developing, playing down, against players half his size? That does make a lot of sense.

Or maybe they feel guilty that he dominates that teams play, not allowing any opportunities for any of his team mates, and they are not developing as a result? It does appear that the coaches only game plan is to get him the ball, 100% of the time, so that seems reasonable.

Or, maybe they just feel guilty about how dishonest it is to play him down. After all, as parent, we always want to teach our kids to do the right thing.

I'm thinking maybe it's all of these things.

I kind of hope he sticks around. Seems like a very nice boy. Hope the parents get their act together, though. They appear to be a real mess.


Best post of the year!

Interesting way to look at it
WP won every tourney except one last summer
How did Taz do?
They lost to 91 MD, madlax, wp and eclipse (who wp crushed in the finals)
This falls highlights include a loss to true blue and another loss to madlax while wp tied eclipse 7th grade team and beat outlaws 23 A
5th grade is over. Taz no longer top 3 team
Time to bring back the chosen one or dial it down

Nobody expected you to, Tazzie. But any team that can’t beat VERY sorry B teams aren’t in any rankings. What a joke!

People! Taz can’t beat bad B teams. Why is anyone talking about them?!!

How do you think LI Express North shrieber looks?

Madlax owns LI. Fact.

They are a very strong team. If they could find a Fogo they are right there with all the top 2024 teams.

You have no idea what you are talking about. First off, they would crush 2 Way or Preds by 10 goals. Also, if you don't realize that top teams in 2024 are utilizing a Fogo, you should not post on this site.
Possession is probably the most important part of lacrosse. This team competes even though they have this glaring liability.

The best team nobody talks about is eclipse

It was a fall play day. They traveled to Long Island with 14 kids and only 4 midfielders. Definitely not at full strength. If you have been paying attention to fall tournaments, you would realize that this team is playing together, against tough competition and is holding their own. Ask Igloo or Taz if they are any good.

Taz agrees. Weak.

Fall is fall

Eclipse 24 is by far the best 24 team in the Westchester /Fairfield ct area. I would love to hear from any parents on that team as to whether or not it’s a good environment , good coaches, etc.

How can you proclaim that Eclipse 2024 is the best “by far” in Westchester/Fairfield?
Wait until summer 2018 and then we’ll talk.

PT/Eclipse/Preds understand where they need to be to compete against LI/MD which are the national standards for Youth lax. Don’t throw divisive pea-brained comments out there.


Ok. Let’s look at the past performances. But before that, predators is not in this discussion. They do not play against the best Secondly. Last year Eclipse outperformed prime time and express north in every tourney and against every team. They beat Taz in the nlf championship. Beat LI Express, Laxachusetts Black. Etc etc. so to be fair, until primetime and express can do that, I’m not stretching to say Eclipse 2024 is the better of the 3 squads. Express North looks to be making great strides this year so to be fair. Eclipse. Express North and then primetime.

Okay. So what LI 2024 squads are on the verge? A squad that can compete but could be taken over the top by a couple ballers. Excellent coaching. No parent coaches. Loyal parents. Does it exist?

Meh - there are a lot of teams that would fit that bill. For the same reasons that there are more A teams on LI at 2024 (and most other age groups, as well) than the three AA teams most discussed here. A lot of these A teams have a strong top 10 - it's the lack of depth that keeps most of them from competing with the A teams. Add a couple more legit horses and that depth gap starts to go away quickly.

I would rather have my son help build a team. I think that it might be more fun for him. Where would you put your money other than the top 3?

If your son is not one of the top 10 players (especially Express!) on one of the AA teams, then, your son is better off being in the top 10 of one of the A teams, of which there are many.

Anyone know how S2S is doing with their new team? Do they have A potential?

I recently watched a Taz game where there were 8 dads in the coaching box barking out orders like it was a town team. It was a hot mess. I have heard stories about how these dads will run off new talent to protect the current kids' playing time. I would much rather play for an up and coming team that has professional coaches that have a real interest in developing all the kids (not just their own).

You got bad intel. They will add whoever is the best player available. I played them all fall. Very talented kids and extremely well coached.
