I hear S2S upgrading at attack.

The A team is upgrading?

Yeah I heard from all top teams. We will see this fall

No. You go where your kid sees the field so he can play.

Tryouts should be wrapping up shortly. Hope everyone got (made the team) they wanted. it's so true, many people say field time is important at this stage of the game. What sense does it make to be on a team and never see the field other than practices. Remember before you accept that invite, ask questions. Many of the top organizations have coaches that are "snake oil" salesmen. listen to what they say. Many times their sales pitch will not complete a full circle.
Good luck!

Heard what from all the top teams? How are you so plugged in to every organization??

I wouldn't say I am dialed into every organization. Having had 4 kids go thru the process. I would say you get to know who is who.
All good programs just a lot of movement at this age.
Express willing to stir the pot and bring on new kids to disrupt what wasn't broken. They are the top 2 teams and did a great job. Igloo is a very solid organization and wouldn't count them out. 91 sits at the top with a good coach. Let's keep the tourneys on the island.

I can't believe the large increase in tuition for many clubs. Express, Igloo, 91. I think 91 made the biggest jump. The Bandits are one thing, but paying Bandit money for 91's second team is out of the question. If Wolfpack wins WSYL I can only imagine what it will go up then. To each is own!

Thanks Obama!

Needed that. Good one.

That wolf Pack team a mess. Like the Smash , United team when they combined, but the tuition will still go up. Heard there was no Helmets included as well

When there are more teams than players its time to short them. I'm creating an ETF made of Igloo, 91, Shore to Shore, True Blue, Recon, Express, Rebels, Outlaws, Sharks, Legacy, Igloo B, Express B, 91B, 91 C, Shore to Shore B, Bluefish, Dodgers.,Fast Break, Millon, .....and shorting it.

That's a great idea. Please let me know what the symbol will be listed as so I can make some money off of this too. On the other hand you clearly believe no one is offering anything to separate themselves from the others so are we headed for a Lax market meltdown?

Truth is I wish the smaller clubs would get together and form A and B teams and tournaments at a competitive price. If they are not talking about it I hope they do not for my kids case but because 91 and Express has a strange hold on the market with their NLF and 91's MyLacrosse Tournaments

It's time for a revolution .

It really does not matter which club you sign up for. If you attended any of the national tournaments like Millon or NLF teams hand out uniforms in the parking lot to guest players from teams not playing or eliminated. No coaching anymore just more recruiting

The symbol is LXRO. It stands for Lax Rip Off.

Express has done an incredible job collecting some of the craziest parents going. My guess is Chan has found another revenue stream selling tickets to the sideline show.

Express = very good recruiting + mediocre coaching = a lot of wins but not much improvement in players performance. So what’s the point.

The revolution is coming. The amount of money some parents are forking over for their kids to play lacrosse is ridiculous. Wait until one of these mommies drop a sexual harassment lawsuit against the coach/organization.

A lot of wins = good players + good training & good coaching.

Huh.......revolution???.....sexual harassment lawsuit???.........I know, I got it.........this is CNN talking

Russian collusion with teams

Apparently Rebels made the right move and parted ways with some of their weaker players... definitely had a lot of talent at the first camp. Think there will be some surprising moves of top players to the Rebels. Think they will surpass S2S and True Blue this year and compete with Igloo. Think Express/91 have separated themselves as top 2.

Who do you think will have the best Fairfield County team for 2018/2019, now that the tryout results are posted for Eclipse, LIE North and 2way. What are your thoughts on size of team (# of players), skill level, coaching, politics? I know it's too early to tell, but I'm just wondering if anyone is hedging bets.

How does a first year organization shed its weaker players?

Hahahaha! Better get out and vote on August 14 or we will lose even more players to red states and none of this will matter!

Thanks Rebels director. Give it up. The rebels will be weak. They will definitely not compete with 91 or Express Haugen.

They say that every year. Just PR to get kids to the tryout. Attack kids never changing.

Ok. Nobody knows what S2S is. Just call them Grizzlies or whatever the 2023 team is called. Had to look them up.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!

Seriously? The A team went to Denver and are one of the top 5 teams on LI. Are your from LI? If so you are living under a rock.

How much is 91 tuition now?

It's a Rebelution!!!!!!!!!

You may get a better response if you ask on the westchester thread.

I heard Igloo lost 4 top players to Express Haugen any truth to this?

Bandits and Express A are the two best teams in 2023. None of there top players are going anywhere. You may get an Igloo or S2S kid swap teams or tryout for the other two and may make it but those four teams are the top. Any other team in 2023 are what the are they won't compete with the top four, thats the reality of it. There is not one top player from those four teams looking to play anywhere but on those teams. After those four you have TB, Warriors, Rebels/Outlaws, Empire etc... (No Particular Order) Hope all the kids had good tryouts and all they are happy where they end up, good luck and have fun.

Shows how delusional and ignorant you are. Now that wsyl is over there are a bunch of kids that left Igloo, Express, 91, and S2S to play together and have FUN. You'll find out soon enough Clark Kent.

How do you put the rebels as one of the top teams when they never played a game and don’t know who’s on the team.

Are these the kids that went to the rebels.

S2S is in turmoil. DK was fired. The word is players are leaving. They will fall, True Blue now in the top 4.

And I'm sure they won't be missed, good luck this season I hope you have.a good experience on the turtles....scoop.
