BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024-7th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019

US Lacrosse changed the rules and the clubs, plus PAL doesn't comply. The clubs don't want to alter their business model, so I get that. You would think PAL would, since it's not about winning. Plus they should do everything in their power promote fairness and age based does that. They do it for football????. Everyone who hates grade based, and it's most of you. Stop complaining here and Email the PAL the board and ask them why they won't go age based and adopt US lacrosse age guidelines. If everyone that ever posted a holdback/age based post in here sent one email to the PAL board. PAL would have to consider it for a vote. Or provide a reason for why they wouldn't. So stop complaining on a lax blog and go try and make a difference. If PAL changed, that could be enough to make a difference with the clubs. But maybe not, since they complete ignored US lacrosse.

Getting crazy in youth lax. Madlax ran a kid today that should not be playing in the 2024 Division. Period. Totally sleazy move.

Agreed. I don't get it. They were making a lot of progress.

Dude. Nobody cares about Madlax. Irrelevant team.

you will care about madlax when that 16 year old kid runs through your whole team and scores 6 goals

WP is the most balanced team in 2024. Coaches and parents understand the balance. School, other sports, comradery and more importantly being real teammates to each other. There isn't a team out there that compares. Parents on this team all get along ( most teams out there do not) and look out for each others boys. The 3 practices a week during fall is a joke. Keep running your boys into the ground so they feel burned out..that makes sense. The only way a team\parents get talked about the way they do is out of pure jealousy and wanting what someone else has. Team has been built right from Day 1, so keep spreading the lies and the BS and heck continue throwing rocks at the parents like little kids, it will do nothing to this team and the family that was created here. So spin your stories about holdbacks and the teams demise and whatever other BS you come up with in your hatred of a 12 year old very talented lacrosse team. And WP keep being who you are and stay the course, those boys are examples across the board of hard work, dedication and keeping things balanced in what seems to be a very hateful and judging youth lacrosse world.

[quote=Anonymous]biggest disappointment of 2024 class is the igloo A team. what happened to that rising program?
1. The owner - arrogant and all B.S.
2. The coaches- dont know what to do at this level. Good 2nd grade coaches

Looks like 91 has some happy customers. Must be doing something right.

The only thing burning out is your brain. 3 practices is offered for kids that can make it., because most play other sports . So notIntelligent. You sound like a 2 year old with all the jealousy. What do you expect on BOTC. Your team is talented does that make daddy feel better.

Poster didn't mention any particular team brah. Seems like your a little jumpy about this post. Relax and breathe. 3x time a week is fine in the fall. Sigh

THE FUNNY THING IS YOU WRITE ON HEAR AS IF THE KIDS READ THIS BS. THE SITE IS FOR ALL THE PARENTS. NO KIDS. WHAT KILLS ME ABOUT ALL YOU TOP TEAM PARENTS IS . YOUR TEAMS ARE GOOD, YOU SHOULD KNOW IT BY NOW. WHY COME ON THIS SITE AND EVEN ENTERTAIN ANYONE. TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU , THESE TOURNAMENTS DONT MATTER. 3 YEARS FROM NOW MATTERS.

Brah . Not notIntelligent . Brah . Neither did I . Brah .

Dude. You got some serious brain fog going on. That made absolutely no sense. Suggestion: Take that cash you are using for travel, and take typing lessons. Not that difficult to take the CAPS LOCK off. Yeah. Let's start there. It aint helping the kid anyway.

Madlax wins Battle of the Bay. Already the best team nationally for 4 straight years, we added several new studs.

Long island looking up to us again.

Up late playing fortnight again? No Halloween candy for you, young man!

That is awesome!

Wonder if the kids learn anything when they are called out.

Why are you disappointed?

Deal with it, Tat Dad.

And for staying up past your bedtime, no fortnight for one week!

So why do LI teams win the National Championship EVERY year??? They should just move the darn tourney to Hofstra.

Half the team is new. They will be good in the spring.

He’s disappointed his son was on it last year but cut this year. So he has to bash them.

Missing key players for Fall, who will be back for Spring. Igloo will be fine.

1. There is no national championship for kids, stunad.

2. LI wins a tournament that draws 2 good teams and the rest crap

3. Nobody goes to that tournament except for LI parents who leave their carport in order to waste money chasing a trophy in Colorado

Last I checked Madlax lost last time out. You’ll get your chance for a rematch next weekend.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP for 13 year olds. Period. Cheating teams, who stockpile players that are 14 or 15, are ineligible.

Madlax "wasted money chasing a trophy in Colorado" last year, as they flew to the easiest tourney of the summer in Denver, with absolutely no good teams. Not a single team that anyone reading this has EVER heard of!

They paid all of that money to go to Denver to play NO ONE, for a t-shirt. Heard they didn't even win the t-shirt!

They aren't going to the WSYL because they don't have a team to bring there, if they can't bring their 13 and 14 year olds (cheaters).

And, MD does have representation there, in contrast to what our Madlax dad claims. But since they don't have any 13 or 14 year olds, no one ever hears about them, since there are no MD or VA teams that can compete with anyone, with just 13 year old players.

It's just a very inferior brand of lacrosse in MD/VA... that's why they have to stockpile their hold backs (cheat), just to be competitive with Long Island 13 year olds.

The WORLD SERIES OF YOUTH LACROSSE... best 13 year old lacrosse team on the planet.

Who is going to take the title home this year?? My money is on another Long Island team... the true home of lacrosse!

Any dad who brags about winning a youth lax tournament is an stunad.

Any dad who calls a tournament for 13 year boys a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is a total lost.

AGREE with that. Do not let them fool you either, a few of the clubs loading up the teams with borderline 05 kids just to win it. Proves nothing. Just another tournament, just way over priced.

Be quiet B Dad and let the A team Dads speak, will you. Now get back on that wall ball

Really need a separate BOTC board for B dads.

A parent with A player here (that actually gets good time). I am dreading the cost and expense and waste of July 4 weekend with this Denver BS. That being said, I cannot tell the coach that we are out, because then won't touch the field until after. Its a joke. Tuition of the team, plus all the tournaments and hotels, plus Denver. 10k. Easily. But hey, free NB cleats.

the only stunad on this site is you madlax daddy. you are the one bragging about madlax being the best team. understand stunad. go back to Washington dc and troll on your holdbacks.

Not a waste unless your team has absolutely no shot at getting to the championship. Then, I would probably agree with you. Although I will say, everyone I talk to that have done it, say it is the best experience in youth lacrosse. That's from both parents that have made the championship and those that have not. Extremely well run event, like no other.

Went through the experience last year, cost stinks, but the boys love it. If you can swing an extended vacation, even better, lots to do in the greater Denver area. Tournament games were fun to watch and the venue is great. Unfortunately, you definitely sense the money grab aspect, especially all of the Body by Jake promotion. Also, the hotels that are part of the event are terrible, do your research and stay elsewhere, lots of good options downtown or go for an Airbnb with a washer and dryer

The best part about the WSYL is the parents foot the bill for the whole thing and the clubs makes bank on it. Especially the club that wins.

If you really wanted a true championship, do it in Philly which is equidistant for everyone. Instead, doing it all the way in Colorado shows it's a money grab. 2-3 good teams and the rest cannot compete with the best of the East Coast.

The worst thing was the Team 88+3 2020 team that kept kids on the bench in a blowout win on national TV. Those parents paid good money like the rest of them. But even though they were up by 10 in the 4th quarter, kids were kept off the field and not in the game. Totally lame, like this tournament.

Welcome to travel sports! But if your kid gets to the championship, it’s a once in a lifetime experience.

It’s an absolute boon to the organization that wins it. Or even just making the championship game. Unparralled exposure opportunity, that money can’t buy. And all at no cost to the club. Enormous opportunity.

Same ole same ole from the jealous B team hater. My kids on a sucky team because he stinks and therefore my life stinks so I’m now on this earth to pull everything and everybody down. It just makes me feel better about my sucky life. Believe me, B daddy we get it. Your kid ain’t going to Denver.

What good team doesn’t go to the WSYL because of its proximity? Answer: None!

The ONLY reason a team doesn’t go is because they are not a 13U team, or because their team is not competitive. Regarding the former, their abundance of 14 and 15 year olds make them a 14U or 15U team, which is ineligible.

Remember, parents don’t decide what tourneys a team does, the club does. And there ain’t no club anywhere that wouldn’t want to go to have a chance at all that free publicity, if they think they have a legitimate shot, because it costs them nothing to go.

Doing the tourney in Colorado has nothing to do with a money grab. Money grabs can be anywhere. It’s there because Jake Steinfeld who started the WSYL Is friends with the owner of the Denver Broncos who own the stadium and the Denver Outlaws. That’s why it’s in Denver.

I’d like it on the east coast too. It would save me a boat load of dough. But that’s prob never going to happen. Because it doesn’t hurt the tourney by being there.

The best 13U teams go. If your team is a 14U or 15U team, then you’re not going. Simple as that.
