Use this thread to discuss the Boys 2028-3rd Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Season

who are the top teams in this age group?

Let the journey begin! Seems to me more of a bias for kids to stay in house with more robust town programs operating year round then a few years back with my older son when there were only a few towns that offered year round opportunities at this age. Certainly more $ efficient assuming there are enough good coaches in the town.

Who knows mostly all new teams. If had to guess:
91AA
Igloo
Express
Rebels
91A/fl$

First of all saying any of these teams are top is a joke. These kids are going into 3rd grade. 2nd the Rebels is brand new so what Could you possibly be basing this on? The organization doesn’t even have a history!

They are only in 3rd grade , I guaranteed parents still tie laces on there cleats for practice and some still wet there bed once in awhile and your asking who the top team is . Unreal . Go pay $2,500 also 3rd grade lacrosse was never that much money for this age group the jump started at 4th grade .

easy big fella

I think at this stage they are all pretty even. next year the dispersed talent will start coming together on different teams forming real strong vs. average teams...

pick the best coach! that is the deciding factor.

i agree, coaching is very important

Who are the coaches for these teams ??

91 is asking 3K for that age group.

91-Massapequa Dads...
Igloo-Manhasset Dads , one played at umass other guy in Rockaway hot dog eating contest fl$-Corey Winkoff, played at Penn and proprietor of fl$, and Sachem Head Coach

Need honest opinions of TrueBlue and Hitmen. I have heard good things about both and both have practice locations close to me. This will be my son’s first year of travel Lacrosse and want it to be a positive experience. Thanks.

Don’t waste your money on either one. Let your son play for his town travel team,you will get the same training for a fraction of the price.

What about express & Legacy? Who are the coaches for those teams?

We don’t have a town travel team, only PAL in the spring. My son plays PAL but wants to play more.

TB or Hitmen are our options and I’m looking for feedback on each to help us select the right one.

Express with Coach Orielly. Look him up on Storm Lacrosse

Coach Cat from Adelphi is coaching the 2028s. I heard they have a good group. The have some really good older teams.

We will be going with TB. Thanks for the feedback.

is true blue going to be a combo team 2028/2029?

unless you are a Massapequa kid.. TB is not the place for you, unless you are a stud, then it don't matter..

Many kids outside of Massapequa made the TB teams, across all age groups. I spoke to a bunch of the parents in this age group during tryouts and not many were from Massapequa. I found most to be from Seaford, Bellmore and Wantagh areas.

Why do you say that TB is not the place for kids outside of Massapequa? The coaches and "owners" seem great and practice locations are very convenient to many towns.

Combo team? Not sure, the registration page lists 2028 specifically.

Feedback on this forum...I find it funny that this is a fully moderated forum but yet the Admins allow people to post anonymously. Admins should require registration.

Are you in Suffolk County? Mayve you want to try the new team out there Epic Jokers in Wading River.
If your just starting in club its an affordable option at $1350-

Yup. Prior Mamaz Boyz coach formed it.
Tryouts are tomorrow and Tuesday in evening. Plus the following week as well.
All info should be on the Epic Jokers website.

I'm in Wantagh. Already mentioned that I was looking for feedback to help choose between Hitmen and TB. We decided to go with TB. Thanks.

what's the first tournament of the fall?

Did true blue get enough kids for true blue north (LI north shore, nassau)? I thought they were trying to expand their footprint of where they draw from--I imagine not, but curious to know.

Halloween Havoc (Holtsville) October 14th
Blatant Fall Jam (S. Huntington) October 20th
Octoberfest Tournament (Uniondale) October 27th

Now that practice has started why is there still big secret about tution cost not posted on websites , everyone forgot a month ago complaining with all the ridiculous prices. Anyone have a list of prices for clubs ? Make it public don’t let them increase it again another $500 next year. I bet suckers will pay again next year !!

What’s your angle here? You’ve posted this on every age board. Guessing a owner of a weak club desperate for numbers.

which day is this age group playing on in the halloween havoc tournament?

Download the tourney machine app. Schedules rarely go up more than a week in advance. Younger teams usually play early.

Historically with most tournaments 7th grade and up play Sunday and 6th and under play Sat

Website says 10/13

thanks but do you know if its sat or sunday?

Really??

Do you own a calendar?

Nice reply PlayLax, just asking if the tournament was the 13th or 14th.

Open your eyes.
You asked what day.
You were told the 13th.
Then you asked if it was Sat or Sun.
So everyone is saying whats wrong with you.
Now your asking if its the 13th or 14th.
Like what????
Do you forget everything you do, say, and read???
Time for you to see a dr
