Are you 11, or are you the coach? LOL!

OK Express Dad. Good luck paying for the hotel and travel. Stay home, play teams on equal footing without stacking brackets.

Since Force, True Blue and Igloo are all mostly Huntington kids maybe they can combine and make one real A team. The point has already been made. Too many teams diluted the talent pool. That is why Express and 91 dominate the field. They don't fill their rosters with town kids connected to coaches.

Not an Express dad and don't live in LI but based on what you people post Express and 91 need to leave LI to play teams at their level.

Battle of the bay is Oct 27th
Same day express running tourney
Doubt they are traveling to MD

FYI- my son is on the 2025 Millon Force B team and they are looking for (2) Middies and one more Goalie. Also heard they're A team is looking for one more Middie.

The Millon Force A team has never lost to S2S (3-0) and only lost to Igloo by a goal, AND the Rebels haven't even played a game yet.

1. Express
2. 91
3. Igloo
4. Legacy
5. True Blue
6. Force
7. S2s
The rest are B

Express and 91 clearly better than the rest. The others (3-7) will battle it out and are pretty comparable.
Will be interesting with all the player movement and new teams.

You can't put 91 in the same sentence as Express. Even with upgrades that they probably got at tryouts, they don't compare. 91 has talent but the team is sloppy and inconsistent. Express is a well-oiled machine. They are not in the same category.

Please. A well oiled overloaded machine that churns through players using them until they find the next best player. Then letting the rest stay on the team for practice but little to no game time.
The players playing in tournaments now wont be the ones playing in 4-5 years when colleges are looking to recruit. Your lucky if the same kids are playing by the end of this season. Chan recruits kids year round.

Not to say 91 is any better. They are adopting the same philosophy.

Is it true that half of the Geese roster is from last years B team?

That’s what I understand as well. There is no B team. It folded! Well done legacy, well done!

Legacy has 19 kids. 16 that were brought back from last year. Almost everyone of them were chased to tryout by other teams. None of them left. 3 more were added. They are still looking for one or 2 more good families.

Typical legacy lies!!! I can not believe people are paying you for this garbage. Entire attack and 3 midfield gone! How is it that you have 16 returning? Lmao. Such lies. But it is comical so keep it coming! GEEVILS!

The mixed nuts never believe any team could survive without them.91 can the enjoy the extra sideline coaches and internet GMs.Few more weeks you will be back to complaining about your own team playing in War Games or the HC is playing his nephew over them.

False. The starters barley come off the field no matter who they are playing.

How is it possible that 16 are returning? 5 to 91, 2 to express, 2 to turtles, 3 to rebels. Do the math. Unless you had almost 30 kids you’re lying and we played you and you had 5 subs. Soooooooo

Did the B team end up getting enough players?

How do you know so much about a team that you are not on?!? How do you possibly know the location of 12 kids on different teams, do you stalk all there practices?? Did you go to every try out?? Does your kid even play??

Lets be real here.
Clearly that is someone who knows because their kid was part of Geese, and players have kept in touch with kids and their parents who were part of the original Geese team. So they know.

There really is no point in pretending that many of the Geese original kids did not leave. I really do hope the Geese can reform themselves, but it wont happen by pretending they were not impacted by last years exit of players mid year and during tryouts.

Hopefully this year the organisation is really investing in their team and trying to prevent the mistakes they made last year,
Like:
- allowing over bearing parents control the decisions on their team
- letting go of a great coach who was an integral part of their success for years
- not investing in multiple level coaching like other top teams
Again I wish you the absolute best and hope its a great year, but it only will be if the team admits what occurred and addresses the problems from last year.

As for the rest of the haters who just want you to fail and insult everyone on the team, they are not worth your time. Dont bother responding to them.
Good luck. Really.

Twenty Four Cyclones 2025 are looking for 3-4 players for this upcoming season. We're currently holding practice on Sunday's at 4pm in Garden City. We are the only 2025 team in our program this year. Looking to finish putting together a very competitive B level team. If you're still looking for the right fit please email us at twentyfourlax@gmail.com. We would love to have you get evaluated at one of our practices. Program is well priced and gives you everything the expensive programs are offering(equipment, tournaments, winter practices) all at no extra charge.

Yup. plenty.

Wouldn't send my son back there even if it were a free program. Stay away!

How do I sign up as one of the non paying, not on age, guest player that will take playing time away from the paying players? You know, the same model you are running for 2024.

Just stay away from Twenty4. Not a good program. You could be wearing a Twenty4 shirt and the director will walk right past you and not say a word to you #clueless. Practices are 1 hour playdates with no structure, games are a mishmosh of who ever shows up that day and some of the parents are outright stunads. This is a scam of a program. Go to somewhere that is established. 9d1, Express, Igloo, True Blue, S2S, Or any other organization that you can talk to someone about what it entails. At best low C team at 2025 age.

Lol. I know plenty who walked from the 91 B team offer. That will be a weak team at best.

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 !!

They took anyone who was wiling to pay. Who would pay 91 prices for that coach?

It’s not a secret. We walk know the costs and have signed up. If you’re such a troll and you want to know why your club failed trust me it’s not about price.

They are no longer a secret. The tuition prices for all the teams came out a long time ago after tryouts. Go back and read through the blog and you will find tge discussions.

Who cares about the costs, it’s not lowering. It’s like car shopping. You can spend 20k on a car or 75k. You can spend 2k or close to 4K for club, you have endless choice on Long Island. I would rather debate what you get for your money.

My son has played the past two seasons with 24 Cyclones. Absolutely loved the team and the coach, had some great practices when the kids showed up(too many kids playing multiple spring/summer sports). Although we chose to leave this year due to the director of the program. The coach told me that he plans on taking over his teams operations but couldn't stay with them because CC already rubbed us the wrong way.

We know why 91 hasn't failed. Every B team they have is entered into only their own tournaments. Doesn't matter how bad the tournament is. Double dipping for extra dollars!

How did he rub you the wrong way?

Love the statement "when they showed up." Its not because of other spring/summer sports that they didnt show up. They didnt show up because they arent actually paying players on the team. Theyre all on other teams and when they show up its because they dont have a game with their primary team or just got invited. The 2024 team brings in 2023 players as guest players on top of all the other shadiness.

We received incorrect sizes on some equipment and some items later then the rest of the players. Secondly to stick up to not make the coach look bad, one defenseman played a handful of games who was young

You know what the problem is on this forum as it is the same problem on every other forum. Nobody care about your opinion and everyone should mind their own business. This forum is here to be informative and let people know about tryouts and other useful lacrosse stuff. Instead all you people do is spew anonymously about each other clubs or kids or coaches Who cares what anyone pays or where anyone plays! As long as the child is happy, that’s all that matters. Worry about your own child and your own family and don’t worry about anyone else.
