Its all about the Money

Not sure where we are going with this...but for what it's worth, Express North did play in the WSYL qualifier

This situation could easily be solved by just switching to birth year play, youth soccer has done it and has leveled the playing field. Best situation would be to switch to birth year play at U13 when it really starts to show up as puberty kicks in for most. Dominating at grade 7 when some players are nearly 2 years older than others is truely laughable.

Again, that is great, your decision -.but what right do you have to come on here and be critical of those people that have chosen to go to Denver - nobody came on here and suggested that you are a "sucka" for not going to Denver - you made a choice not to go (or play for a club that does go), some have made the choice to go - WHY DO YOU CARE - if you are so comfortable with your decision, let it go, enjoy the beach and let your son enjoy time with his friends on his club team. I'm sure that you will have some nifty come-back about how you are just expressing you opinion - and that we are all too thin skinned to respect your opinion - but the truth is that you just want to come on here and stir the pot with your holier-than-thou wisdom.[/quote]

Have fun at the airport dispensary. Fly high babyyyyy

Take your complaining parents and children to Denver and let the real teams play in the NLF tournaments this summer. When you are back and want to see real lacrosse come out to the NLF National Championship at Lehigh.

I agree 100%.

Millon Championships even better.

As is no NLF teams are going to Denver....but I do agree that the complaining is annoying, put your kid where you feel comfortable and be happy

Real teams... SMH... Until there is total aged based teams and tournaments, this discussion is pointless. at 13 and younger a holdback will most likely dominate the competition.. My son is a B+ player, put him on a 2024 team and he is A+, one year is HUGE!!

On a good 2024 team your son would still be a b+ player.

You guys do know where the scourge of grade based youth lacrosse started right?

Express started all this reclass nonsense on LI. Watch at lax clash today. Express will have 2-3 kids from their 2022 team playing for the 2023 team. And yes they are rising 9th graders. On the Denver team. Age eligible but this is a grade based tournament. Chan cheats more than anyone out there.

Ok, I’ll bite..

Looks like we got 3 more brand new clubs starting this year, and claiming they are only going to be AA quality, amazing uniforms, etc, etc. Next thing they'll tell us is that they'll be in Denver for their younger team. I'm about to puke

Going to be an interesting day of lax. The Massachusetts and Maryland teams are already off and running.

So the Rebels are a Brand New Team, right.... how do they have many new players..wouldn't all players be new to the team.

Yes, but MB thinks he is taking his key players and the bench players stay at Outlaws. Unfortunately he doesn't know the real scoop.

And Hockey....cut and Dry....2004,2005 ect. It's easy if US Lacrosse would recognize the problem with youth lacrosse. They need to have more control or we will continue to play in the "Wild, Wild West".

Interesting day. S2S not a big dog..... and that “B” team couldn’t score points if their was no goalie! Warriors proving they are in the wrong bracket yet again. Laxachucettes has amazing bench depth considering they have so many teams in the age group. Long Beach showing they can beat most of the B travel teams.

Who are they besides the Outlaws I mean Rebels

Time has passed for the Warriors, along with other glaring issues that only former players/parents are aware of. Those players were after thought's. Left for other top organizations, then played against the Warriors and beat them. My son became so disgusted with them, that's why we left.

S2S fogo is legit. Holdback hawks will win the ship in our backyard today!!

On the money except LB has 8th graders there

You’re all disgusting! Chatting and gossiping about children game scores? Hard pressed to believe any of you work in a place other than fast food counters at rest stops. I hope your kids read this trash dating back to when they were in 1st grade. You should not have the authority to raise a child. Pigs! All of you!

They let you feed on this crap, then use your emotions to pay $3k a season to wear the winning uniform. How dumb are you? Who raised you?

What's the deal with the Long Island coaches? Are most of them crazy? the Long Beach guy makes the outlaw and true blue guy seem normal!!!!! I don't get it!!!

The Ducks are rebranding. Hopefully they clear out some of those nightmare parents and kids that play dirty.

True Blue showing it belongs.

TB parents are desperate. You will never be a top 3 team.

There is something seriously wrong with you bubby.

Never said top 3, top 5.

Belongs to what ? Lucky they didn't have to face Hawks, Lax Black & Primetime. How many times can you play the Outlaws & Warriors ?

That was a very strong division, not many teams could of gone 2-1.

Didn’t see s2s Fogo at WSYL qualifiers. Hmmmm

Do you stop in for the good company?? If we are dumb for shelling out 3k to play on one of these teams, that our business. Why are you in this forum if you aren’t shelling at $$$ for your kid to play??

S2S fogo is pretty good (legit), but misses WSYL by 2mo. He is/was 7th grade this year. I know this because I approached a friendly face on the sideline and blatantly asked. He does not have the "holdback" size or maturity, that's obvious that most would not question his age.
Overall, perfect lax playing weather, very competitive (a lot of close, 1 goal games) in that bracket.

Because I profit from your stupidity! And I enjoy watching the toll booth population argue amongst future toll booth operator’s Lax stats

This was a strong lacrosse weekend. There were no blowouts in the upper A bracket. Every team had BIG, strong, talented kids. Not sure why hawks are referred to as holdback hawks. They didn’t look any bigger than any other team. Lots of impressive play today.

Wow. You’re a loser.

Thats correct every team had a few big athletic kids as would be expected at this age as they all mature at different times. Whst i dont understand is the parents and the trash talk within earshot of the kids. Some of tge LI parents take being a FLID to a whole new level.

In what corner of the world can a child sports forum warrior call any adult a loser?
