a real sane person who has a kid paying money to play on any team other then exspress/igloo/91 ,,should save your money ,,play town ball/wall ball..go to clinics ..its a business , playing on b teams of these clubs is also a waste ,,take some lessons and save 3 grand ,,ranking kids who cant catch and throw ??? its crazy

ON LONG ISLAND....AFTER EXSPRESS/91/IGLOO I THINK SOME TOWN TEAMS BEAT THE REST OF THE TRAVEL TEAMS / GIVEN THERE ARE SOME CLUB KIDS ON TOWN TEAMS ,,,CSH ROAR /ROCKVILLE CENTRE/WANTAGH/SACHEM/

Yes there are some strong town teams but that is because they are playing with the players from the clubs. If you put rockville centre against express but the rockville centre kids who are on express play with express, its not even close.

Sachem is an ok team, but take away all their players that are playing club and they become ordinary. If you want to call yourself a town team your kids should not be on clubs also. its misleading.

What about Legacy? I think they surpassed igloo and the other programs who are declining besides the obvious 2 perennial programs

For some reason there are a few haters on here that just keep bashing them. No one else is winning against them besides those 2 you mentioned. And the scores are usually close and its a good game. 91 is above everyone else in this age group, so unless your son is a lax prodigy, they are not cracking that line up. Express and Legacy are usually 1/2 goal games.

great point , there are a bunch of Exspress and 91 kids on a bunch of these town teams that make there youth program look better / it is misleading / i am from Nassau county and dont see many Garden City kids playing club,,yet they dominate at high school level...town teams should be town kids agree ..Farmingdale goes to SANTA JAM at hub with legacy kids from suffolk county ?????? just to win ,,,and they still lost

legacy is a great org. You get your moneys worth with that club. That's a fact. More of a family.

Igloo easily beat Legacy in that October scrimmage. And played a lot of kids out of position after it got out of hand. What are you talking about???

Ok....wait. Let me try to understand this logic. A kid who plays for a travel team should not be able to play for his town team because it is misleading? Misleading how? They are from that town!!!! And they should be punished for excelling at lacrosse by not being able to play with their friends? There is no logic in your thinking. Not to mention that a strong club player will help elevate the play and skills of his teammates. Stop the insanity. Please.

Legacy takes a beating on here and I don't understand why. They are a scrappy team that always plays hard and at least attempts to play the "Big 3" from time to time. There is never any talk about the other club organizations that run multiple tournaments and put their teams in B brackets and lose to town teams. At least Legacy will try and challenge themselves and try to compete. Something to be said about that.

Town Teams that are excellent
CSH
RVC
Farmingdale
Massapequa
Sachem

All better than most club teams. Of course each team has a few high level club players on their rosters, hence the reason why they are very good. Like stated before, who cares. Town lacrosse is all but gone so good for the ones that still hold it down. I do not think its a stretch saying that all of those town teams, among a few others will have more wins than losses when they play in club tournaments this spring/summer season. Look at a few of the fall/winter results already.

The point people were trying to make is Town Teams are Great ,,,but when Town daddy coaches are asking " CLUB KIDS FROM OTHER TOWNS " to play just to win ,,,its a sad example set for the average town kid,,,sorry little joey you cant play this weekend ..our town coach grabbed two 91 kids to win ,,so sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“If you want to call yourself a town team your kids should not be on clubs also.”

Apparently, people are saying who should and should not play on town teams.

I think we can all agree that a kid not on a town team roster should not be brought in as a “ringer”. But I’m not sure that is what is being said here.

Club kids should of course play with their town teams.

think the conversation was about wasting money on B/C level club lax when people are ignoring the importance of home town PAL lax , years ago there was 1 maybe 2 elite clubs and if you didnt make it , there was no B TEAM or some other crap travel team. My dad and mom were ok saying you didnt make it , practice harder with your PAL team and we try again next year !!! Some smart business men said lets develop a team of kids who cant catch and throw and call it CLUB LAX???? seriously .. my kid who only plays town/pal ball , tried out for 91 and didnt make it ...ok,,,so instead so i dont hurt his feelings i am going to waste 3 grand paying for a college kid who he doesnt know and kids he doesnt know and say my son plays club....hahahahaha ..sorry ..enjoy letting your son/daughter play with there friends at home ...ot FORT NITE ..ITS OK NOT BEING AN ATHLETE ..take a look at the dads on LEGACY sideline ,lol,,,apple doesnt fall far from tree ,,save your money,,play wall ball,,go to DISNEY with family

OK so your son did not make team 91. And you continue to have him play in the town PAL league. thats great. But If he finds a club to work with why is that so terrible. When you say town Spring PAL, that only goes from late march to June. What if you want him to play a little more in the summer, or play in some fall tournaments etc???? I dont know whats wrong with finding a club and dont know why anyone would bash any people for getting teams together and teaching kids how to play lacrosse. Now if you have an issue with particular clubs, and dont feel that they are providing what you think they should for the price, then you need to explore other clubs. Tru Blue is not 3 K. The knights are not 3k, I heard Long Island Lacrosse Club is less then 1500. If your town is offering lacrosse in the fall and winter that is a good option as well, but not every town is doing that.
