It should be considerably less if they split it North and South

All this chatter about the LI teams but remember that the coach from Baltimore whose 2023 team played in the warrior all American event crushed the stacked LI warrior team. S2S and LIE have played this coaches ACS 2023 team that is comprised of his best players from that mid Atlantic team based out of Baltimore. That ACS 2023 team is unbelievable and easily beat S2S and LIE. If that team played in the WSYL it would win it all. Very well coached and very good players. I’m not taking away that our LI team are very good but you have to see this ACS team play out of Baltimore. They play fast and they play at a high level.

the south tryout was 2023,2022,2021 combined. maybe 35-40 kids total. my kid told me it was only 10 2023's, 4 mids, 4 attack, 2 def. not sure the breakdown of the rest of the group

Spallina is not coaching he sent email to his team stating that he is not coaching according to what I was told and there were no Bandits there

Considerably less? There were 30 kids from three age groups.

That’s not what Warrior all American is advertising on one of their social media sites. On March 21, they posted a picture of Spalina and the Warrior coach stating they are the North coaches, along with photos of all the other coaches. Check out insta.... what you are told and what is true are far apart.

He isn’t coaching But of you read it online it must be true

They are a great team, no denying that. But, to be fair, that "stacked" MD team split games with the "stacked" LI teams; each winning a game. Biggest difference is that the MD team was a year older than the LI team. And the MD team had one dominant player; the 14 year old kid from the Hawks. Without him they would have gone 0-2 against LI.

The "14 year old kid from the Hawks" actually turned 13 three weeks ago. Same old story with you LI parents. There's no way some kid from Baltimore could actually be better than my kid right now. Kids mature at different times. Don't worry, your kid still has time.

Take it easy Hawks Dad. Stay on your own forum and you don't need to worry about getting called out.

Proud ACS Dad - not Hawks Dad. I know the family and the kid well. He's 13 (barely) and is one of the youngest kids on the team. Again - I know it hurts to see a kid out there who is that good. I would echo what the last poster said. Our team has dominant players all over the field. What's better is that they all get along and support each other. You guys should try it.

You have to take it as true, even online, dopey. It was on warrior all-Americans istag... social media site. So that is what they are promoting a week before their tryouts. If it isn’t true, then they have even more of an problem than no-one coming to tryouts. They flat out lied to everyone or didn’t make a timely correction. Decline numbers are one thing, it’s not just them. Brine has to combine 2023 and 2022 to make a team, only 15 kids showed for the last tryout and they took everyone to fill out roster. Seems warrior may have two problems.

Sounds like Igloo A got slammed.

Brine will have 2 LI teams. They always combined 7/8 - get your facts straight. Warrior is a joke with no competition, Brine has regional teams from all over the country - not just the 91 teams from Florida, NC, and TX.

“One of the youngest kids in the team”, that’s hillarious!

Yeah to BL by 5 or 6 and Mesa by a few

So will the Warrior gamers have another tryout or only video tryouts? I can't imagine taking the kids that showed to the tourney.... GB needs LI to show up at the tourney...

T minus 48 hours until the first blood is drawn at Cantiauge Park. Thirteen year old lacrosse rock stars will be pulling up their Under Armor in order to brave the driving snow of central Long Island. Bottle tans will run down the face of legendary coaches, leaving strains of orange and tan. Pale skin red headed coaches will be driving their legions into battle against inferior foes. The greatest Midfielder in Long Island history will try to prove his mettle as a u13 coach. The Manhasset/Rockville Center kids will have to leave their Vineyard Vines behind, hoping beyond hope that their Dads do not drink ALL of the hot cocoa. Second teams from the top programs are wishing for a miracle, which can only happen in blizzard conditions. South Shore Daddy's with their tattooed extremities will simply be wearing their usual tank tops and cut-off jeans, as if 35 degree weather was just like a July day at Field 6. Teams from upstate NY will feel like they are at home, destroying any home field advantage the Long Island teams could have hoped for. One could cut the tension with a knife.

Play on young men. Prove everyone wrong. Make sure that all of your team practice, private lessons and wall ball pay off. May the best 4 or is it 6 teams qualify. Fair thee well, my youngsters. It is only snow, rain, sleet, hail, freezing rain, gale force winds. Remember what your PAL coaches told you, "if you don't like the rain, play baseball!"
