Second team on your list.

His act got old, along with his pals.

No. Sending a pole out on the faceoff to take out the opposing players that was dominating. That’s low. Allowing your players to run at a ref and scream in his face (curse or not). That’s low. These are actions that have been typical of that coach and those players for years. Their players have begun to take the personality of the coach. It’s a shame, because it’s the boys that will be hurt by their association with him and that team.[/quote] not true. Please, you can stuff your lies in a sac !! It’s clear you have a personal problem .

Yes, It is true, and time has finally caught up to him (coach). In first place, it's not like one person saying this, many have questioned his character over the years regarding the style of coaching he instilled in his team. Sunday was a bad look for HIM and HIM alone. Further, association with him? he has his steady marching band group, but they are slowly separating themselves from him. Finally, just keep in mind, he could be very disruptive if and when he becomes unhappy with his current travel team. (went to WSYL last year and still wasn't happy) [/quote]

Is this guy from 91, Igloo, or Express? [/quote]

They inflated their roster last year for WSYL. They brought in some players that they had no intention of playing and their parents bought into the scam hook, line and sinker.

Same thing this year. There are a lot of kids who shouldn't be on the team, but the Daddy's keep paying the big bucks for little Johnny to ride the pine.

I think you mean they had a tryout and had to limit the roster to only 25 per the wsyl rules.

They had to add a ton of kids after WSYL.

Madlax was caught cheating in the Maryland spring league. They had a team with 5th and 6th graders and put them in a division just for 5th graders. Got called out during the playoffs and were disqualified.

So not only do they have reclassed kids on every team, they illegally play down.

is S2S back with an A team? see 2 of them in the tournament Saturday.. weird thought it fell apart after WSYL... and if not, why put an A team in a B tournament?

The group of them left last year, I guess they couldn't control the narrative. After spending a season traveling to and from practices several times a week and thousands of dollars for the WSYL considering the amount of playing time, they decided to move on. I highly doubt if they are successful controlling the narrative with their new coach. Many clubs know their act, doesn't mean they won't try.

They all went to Turtles right...

Don't know, but they all jumped into a cardboard box, wrapped with a pretty bow and landed somewhere as a package deal.

Yes, Turtles. And when their kids don’t play enough or win enough, they will abandon that team too. They’re going to run out of teams soon!

great job on taking the ship yesterday by shore to shore. gonna be a fun an exciting summer

If all else fails, that's the reason they have Team 5 to fall back on. They have the foundation to move forward on their own, in case the current situation goes south. The sneaker guy (coach) is never happy unless he's in control. That's the reason why the former Empire coach is hooked up and working with them now, leaving open the possibility another organization picking up a ready made team (Team 5) along with their coaches.

Yeah.... fun playing a bunch of B teams. S2S you're amazing!!!!!!!

Agreed. They had no business in that tourney. Neither did 24. They may have entered thinking there would be an A division. The whole tournament was a joke. The parking was beyond ridiculous.

Go Shore! We don't need the NLF!

True Blue looked very good, and with an easy win over Igloo.

You're only as good as the competition you play against. If you want to participate in 'B' & ' C' tourneys that is fine but I'm sure the kids & parents didn't sign on for that.

"Easy" win... 0-0 for first 10 minutes and they won by 1 goal when the horn blew 10 minutes early...against the Igloo B team.

Looked very good ??? TB scored a total of 3 goals against a very weak ' B' team.

95% of these bragging comments are trolls, and usually from someone on the losing side. There are also the 5% meatheads who are clueless...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Not from a TB parent.

Anyone doing showtime camp?

It's like anything else that has the word "lacrosse" attached to it, $$$$$. At this stage of the game, whatever comes along with a very good H.S. and their lax team, and a good travel team is all what matters now.

Who could’ve asked for a better day? Perfect weather, nice fields with bleachers, and spending time with family and friends. Hopefully everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.

Which one are you????

NLF had some interesting results. The Warriors can’t hang with the big boys anymore. Sure, they crushed some very weak B teams (who shouldn’t have even been there). Overall they are not the power house they once were. Looking forward to Lax Fest.

Thanks for that in depth analysis of the NLF tourney B-team dad! I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting for your next post!

Totally agree. This guy is a stunad. Worry about your own team.

You may fall out of your seat when the organization raises their prices again next year compared to what you're paying now.

Hey if big $$$ keeps troll's like you OUT! I'm all IN!

Ouch! Sounds like a nerve was hit. Pay up

Seriously. Are the Warrior parents really trying to say this weekend wasn’t a sad showing for their team? They used to pride themselves on playing in the A bracket. They played terrible teams this weekend and still didn’t come out on top. I know luck of the draw who you play. Shame on the tourney for not keeping it to top teams.

OK put away your phone pick up your mop and finish your work for the day before you get fired and can't even afford to keep your slow moving unskilled kid on his low level B-TEAM!

Warriors are B+ team . not Double A. only win in B bracket tourneys. they have one Middie , without him the fall hard

With tryout season quickly approaching just looking for people's opinion on the different 2023 teams out there. What I am wondering is when you go to tryouts coaches/trainers say that all they want to do is make your kids better, everyone plays etc. Unfortunately this is not true and even more unfortunate is it costs $$$ to find out the team is only out to win (which is fine) and only starters will play OR the team is mostly players from that town so if your not from that town you won't play or other political reasons that your kid won't play. Not looking to trash any teams, just looking to find out which clubs actually will work to develop EVERY player vs which clubs main goal is to win which means an emphasis on the top 10 players with everyone else's role being just a way to get their parents money. Once again, not saying there is anything wrong with a team that wants to win VS a team that never wins but everyone trains and plays, just wondering which teams actually fall into those categories.

Changing teams at his age is hard. The top teams aren’t changing up their rosters much. And there are plenty of kids on those teams that ride the bench. Look into some of the better B teams. Your kid may have a chance to play and develop. To your point they may not win all the time.
