Re: Boys 2026-5th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #269601 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Express B includes (in writing) that they will train with Powers and get positional training over the winter (included in price). Now I don't think this justifies the price hike but its much more than what they got last season. Plus the fact that a director is the coach now I think they will get they focus they deserve.

Still a ridiculous profit after backing out tourneys (especially when they’re you’re own), gear and coaching. Keep paying and the prices will keep going up.

Changed it to notIntelligent. Strange.

Hagans and Schroeder (I assume thats the other coach at the tryout) are very instructive with the kids. I like what I see so far. Hopefully will be as good at tomorrows tryout.

If you think the head varsity coach for St. Anthony is going to be around a lot for a 2026 B team, you will be very dissapointed.

Hagans is a good coach but having to be very instructive at a tryout is not exactly a sign of good talent. You’d like to think a team which intends to be at an A or AA level would have enough talent showing up which understands lacrosse. Theyre not teaching game plays at tryouts so what do they need to be instructing on? Drills?

These are kids going into 5th grade. No matter what level they are at, they have a lot to learn. And coaches need to know how well players take their instruction and act on it. Now I think I really meant the coaches were very interactive with the kids, but instruction is defenitely an important facet on any team at this age level, tryout or not.

I didn't know what to expect. Good talent all around. Didn't count, but decent numbers at middie and attack. Little short number wise at defense. 2 goalies. I'm new to this this year. Been to a few other tryouts. Talent here is up there imo. Probably mostly bubble level talent compared to the top clubs--my son was at one of them.

They are trying to give you coaching tips so you can become a better player, while evaluating you. I think it’s a great idea. My son hasn’t tried out for them but their communications and honesty has been outstanding. Every time I’ve shot them an email they have responded within minutes.

Interactive is probably a better descriptor when talking tryouts. Like this past poster said... instructive is great at practices. Kids are always learning but hopefully a coach doesn’t need to be too instructive at a tryout. Thinking, but could be wrong, that’s what the responding poster was getting at. No one will deny learning is a constant.

Plus what was great was the coaches really motivated these kids at tryouts. My kid and other kids walked out of tryouts really pumped to keep playing lacrosse. It was 90-100 degrees out, and after tryouts my kid went to another space to continue playing lacrosse with another kid. These kids really enjoyed their time at the tryout, even in the extreme heat.

Ok ok we get it “MY KiD My KiD” Actually you dont get it. Im not praising my kid. It was the upbeat motivating way of these coaches at the Rebels tryout that really got the kids, all the kids, really hustling. Despite the extreme heat. It was impressive.

The director, Alexander, is beyond pompous. They have 40+ kids at each age, with maybe 2 coaches at practice. I get it, they have nice uniforms... but they have zero recruits for college, don't win games/tournaments, are in the upper $$ range for fees, and have mediocre coaches that don't consistently show for practice.
