Team 91’s “evaluation camp” was overrated and under manned. It looked like 500+ kids, I saw only one coach with a clipboard, fortunately it wasn't cracked. Probably only “evaluating” their own top players.

Kids flying in to 91 camp from down south and 1 foot taller than LI's tallest kid.

Yup, my son told me they have their own players play against the new kids and since there are so many kids he never really got to touch the ball yesterday. yes. and Beware.

Of course they evaluate the new by playing them against the old...and they don't have to evaluate their own, except for the bottom few. if you expected differently, you are nuts. If your son can't catch someone's eye in 3 days, then you need to realize that he isn't good enough. But here is one thing I know, tell your boy if he wants the ball, then he should go get it. Play tough D, get a GB by running through it, knock someone off their feet, ride like crazy, draw and dump. Those kids get noticed. Scrappy kids get attention.

The thing I find most surprising about these tryouts is nobody grasps customer service. Why wouldn’t clubs hold a meet the coaches session for parents during the tryouts. Not that hard. For example, at the 20xx age we are having 2 teams and here is the staff for each. Please come ask any questions you want of the coaches and directors about practice, playing time, philosophy, etc, etc. Parents would eat that up and feel comfortable vs an email invite and some bio of guy they never met. Put a face things and sell the product and then walk the talk and it’s that simple. We forget we are the clients as we continue to invest in youth sports.

Problems on the horizon!! will be a struggle

Cha-ching

It’s getting out of control with the prices , why is there no prices out yet ?? Wake up people we are the customers to this monster .

igloo is 3600 and if you’re new player you also have to buy your equipment in addition. Express is 5000

Fake news. No big kids flying in. I’m familiar with all the top “big kids” and they are all from LI. Go sell your BS somewhere else.

WARRIOR games this weekend. Who's playing in it?

Anyone who tried out.There were no cuts. Have fun.

Has 91 posted their price tag yet, what's taking so long?

Once they lock in the new players than you will find out. They do not want anyone to jump ship . Looking for a lot of changes.

Last year they handed out pricing and package info at tryouts.
They didnt do that this yeat?

Who is coaching TAZ this year?

ZUMO, Mike Understein, (defense) Kevin Quin (goalie) No daddy coaches

Screw that. It sort of shows you how much respect they have for us. Just remember, as consumers we are in control not them.
