BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025-6th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019

Geese shed all the headaches. The ones on here posting garbage are texting the coach in between trying to get back in and blaming the other mixed nuts. And if you were lucky enough to get a few of the prizes it was only because they scholarshipped them after the others said no.

rebels stand for something? renegades.?

Went to rebels tryout. The 2025 had a good turnout but they all had Ducks helmets on so I guess these are the teams that they took.All of the other age groups were light. It looks like only 2 guys left the ducks to start rebels. I wish all of these programs would just stay together. It always greener on the other side (($$$)).
Outlaws, Legacy and now ducks. Money and lies is what breaks these programs up. Keep the $ out of it and coach our kids. Give us a solid honest program! Good coaches, training off season and tournaments to play. I dont care at this point if we leave LI. W have played plenty of LI teams in NJ and Mass.
Travel lax is getting out of hand.

I agree. Travel lax would make a highly rated reality TV show. Some clubs go way over board with their pricing and parents pay whatever and do what ever some of these coaches ask them to do. it's embarrassing watching some parents following behind some coaches like lap dogs during tournaments and even worst seeing their wives doing it along with them. Let the kid make his own way, if he's good he will play.
Stop paying these high travel lacrosse prices....

Would this be Mamma Goose?

Two observations, after enduring through this thread:

1. You people are out of your minds.
2. Long Island schools, with the highest taxes in the nation, still can't produce people who know the difference between "you're" and "your", and "they're", "their" and "there."

Let me clarify my prior statement. The parents who left the Geese mid season were defenitely a major part of the problem. They were loud, overbearing parents who wanted constant playing time for their kids at the expense of others, and tried to control the team. The mistake of Legacy initially was placating to these parents. They should have been firm with them from the beginning. And a major mistake was losing their original assistant coach. It was that coaches combination with Fiore that really brought the kids on the team to such a high level of playing prior.

But after those mistakes had been made, and when the toxic patents were gone, Legacy defenitely should have been hiring more coaches to help Fiore. They need to put money back into the team. It needs a head coach, defensive coach, and asst coach at a minimum. Thats what other teams are doing. And they must be qualified coaches. And I agree Legacy should have coach bios on website.

Clearly not based on information given

You have no idea what assistant coach that person is referring to. The guy that left mid season saw that things weren’t going as he planned so he left for his kid to play 2024. The assistant they are talking about is the guy they got rid of for that hammerhead box and why the team is a mess. That guy took all four of his kids out of the organization. It’s a shame. They won everything, every tournament , everything and they chose to placate parents and a bald man with money who is now at express. Loyalty at its best.

Stop being an stunad. Only a fool trues to act like he is superior checking grammar on a blog.
Everyone knows people are jotting these comments in quickly and cant be bothered with typos and spelling.
You truly you need some therapy if you need to make ridiculous comments like that to deal with your lack of self confidence.

So who are the 2nd teams at clubs this year.

Definitely:

Express
Igloo
91
Old Ducks

Maybe, meaning not sure

S2S
Legacy
24

Can anyone really confirm yet if the B teams exist. From what've I've seen at tryouts there will be an awful lot of very bad B teams. After wrecking peoples summers with earlier and earlier tryouts dates all they've done is try to capture more kids for multiple level teams and make us wait longer for answers. Is there ever any going back to normalcy?

What about the noise that Igloo and Express don't have enough kids signed up?

For those of you on these B and C organization teams of the big organisations, you should seriously be looking at bailing out soon and looking somewhere else. They are looking like they will be a complete bust.

You are better off contacting the teams like Rebels, Outlaws, R$sh, Turtles, etc... that may have a few spots left and have them evaluate your kid to see if you are offered a spot.
You never know. Maybe one of them is able to work out something on tuition to offset the initial deposit if you made one.

Good point. I’m sure they will rebound. I think the guy is trying to say that’s it’s a bit late in the game for kids and parents to be scrambling for new teams.

Legacy falling by apart. Not enough kids for two teams. Leaves bunch of blue devil committed kids scrambling.

The kids dont need to scramble that much. If they are decent B player they will find a B team to join.
Team 91 and Express and Rage are still scrambling to have enough players for their second team. They can contact them to be evaluated. Plus plenty of B teams still looking for players.

The Empire 2025 A team is good option too

What about the noise that Igloo and Express don't have enough kids signed up?

The way it looks this year at A level teams

A++ 91 and Express alone at top

A Igloo, S2S , maybe Rebels, Geese or Turtles

Every other program is B at best no matter what they call themselves.

If you thought the B teams were bad last year, you ain't seen nothing yet. The teams that added "new" B teams were barely able to fill their roster spots. It will be glorified PAL. Save you money and train, practice, do something on your own to get better. Paying 3000 dollars to play tournaments with kids who can't throw and catch is not making you a better player. Forget the at least their playing cliche.

Chaos will probably still be A team as well.

Any '25 LI teams playing at Battle of the Bay in Annapolis, MD?
