Especially to his 2nd and 3rd line players (and 4th line). It is how he wins. Fine and good. Totally his prerogative. Just please don’t come on here acting like this isn’t the case.

There is a b team at each graduation year, probably them or maybe 2026 A playing up. Igloo Northface (2025 A) has finished their tournaments for the year. Not playing in Hershey.

None of the 2025 Igloo team was playing at Hershey this past weekend. And the 2026 Igloo team was playing at the 2026 level.

Except that the Geese beat the AA BBL Elite team 9-7 on 7/13/19 despite BBL playing three kids that were a full head taller than anyone else on the field, and who did 100% of the scoring for the team. BBL obviousky felt they could only compete with the pool if they added at least three non age appropriate kids, and they still lost the first game (although they did win the second - success!). But the fact remains: they lost to the Geese despite spiking their roster. Sad they felt they needed to do that. As for LI Express, there was at least one player who was older and one kid who was wearing a “North” jersey at the same tournament. I guess the lesson here is that there are adults who derive meaning in their own lives by being able to say “well, my son plays for _______ and they went [insert record].” And, It’s actually a good life lesson for the kids as well: winning matters most above all, so meet your new teammate, Johnny. I’m sure young Jeffrey Epstein and little Bernie Madoff had parents who were T Shirt chasers, too. Geese next big win will be their first since the coaching change. What was the coaching change for Legacy Geese?

Smart guy that coach. Making lots of money. Those parents are insane. Even seeing them at tournaments. Those parents seem a bit off. They want to cheer because the team wins, but they can’t cheer because their son didn’t play. So they just stand their looking confused. I’d be confused in that situation too.

Every top team doesn’t play kids. Not the clubs fault, they are there to win. Parents need to find the right situation where their son can excel. Are kids getting better just practicing, of course. Is it healthy for the child, probably not. This is 1000% on the parents. They control what club their kid joins and they know going in what the deal is.

True story, I ran into my friend at a tournament last summer. My son was playing on another field. In between games I went to say hello and watch his son play. He played for express. I asked him what his son’s jersey number was. He changed the subject. I answered his question, a couple minutes later, I asked again what’s his jersey number. He again immediately changed the subject. I realized at that moment my friend was embarrassed that his son doesn’t play. Then we just talked a few more minutes and I left that field. I just don’t get it. Why put yourself and your son through that.

Just wait until he snags a few more younger 2024's and the playing time is cut for even more kids.

Stop making ridiculous comments. Concentrate on the problems on your own team 91 dad. There is a lot for you to wrap your head around right at home. Stop lashing out at other teams because your upset your kid didnt get any tshirts this year.

Kinda off topic but I just picked up my son from the Millon Lacrosse Camp at LIU Post. Not only did he have an amazing time but he said he learned a ton. It's unfortunate travel has taken away from Summer Lax camps.

May try it next year.

I'm sure this has been covered before but why do parents allow their sons to play on AA team when all they do is ride the pine? Wouldn't you rather have your son play on a competitive A team where they'll see a lot of PT? Makes no sense to me.

I honestly believe the biggest issue is equal treatment of teams. Parents I think are okay with pine riding if for the same cost it’s more practice, more tourneys than a B team. They’ll look and said I can’t believe I did that. Call me selfish or weird, but I love my son play in game and succeed.

There are plenty of trainers to practice. Go where he plays is my opinion.
The thought of spending thousands to be part of a team. To spend 7,8 summer weekends on hot lacrosse fields. To lug equipment bags, water, gatorades, snacks, chairs, spending 7 hours on a field. Paying for hotels a couple more times in the summer. Sometimes lining up babysitters for your other kids at home, sometimes taking them, even though they will be bored.
If you can do all of the above and be ok with your son not playing. You are a much better man than me.

Hey 2025 parents - right now you might be itching to go give your money to Team 91 because they won this year’s WSYL and you are hoping to jump on that band wagon. Before you do that, take a look at the 2024 forum. That same WSYL team lost in the quarter finals at 91’s own NLF tournament. Then they disappeared, skipping out on the consolation gamest, screwing two other teams out of games and causing those teams to pay good money to stay in a hotel an extra night away from home to play a team that disappeared the night before. Poor sportsmanship at its finest was on display here and before you say it’s not the clubs fault - WolfPackUpAndLeave was coached by a 91 Director all year.
A public service message.
