I lost? No, i'm an adult. Also not the parent of an Express kid. Clearly you think you're on the field.

Not a MD dad here, but how many MD club teams do you think you have played that come from the Baltimore inner city? LOL. Thats like linking Hempstead to Express or Team 91 to Wyandanch because they are in NY. The places I have watched my son play in Baltimore/surrounding areas have been nice. And almost always turf!

Ok, just got word my son got cut from his club team. Was told they had too many attackman. Ok. I guess the older you get the less chance for loyalty. I’m not here to dump on any program. Just wondering for those who have gotten the phone call or email that your son didn’t make the team what else is out there? Where do some go? Not looking to spend a fortune. Thank you in advance.

They are calling it AA and A. In reality it's A and B. I believe they're inviting kids who didn't make either to a developmental team as well.

They have 4 teams going... basically invited everyone who tried out to one of them based on skill level. 2 teams under Coach C / Haugen, 2 teams under Wieczorek. More of a A, B, C, D. At $4400 a pop including the box lacrosse, that's somewhere around $400 - 500,000 for one age group. $$$$ But people will jump on it.


Wieczorek is only coaching one team for Express.

$1800 for team 91 MD. Most top MD teams are in that ballpark.



Correct most clubs not even top tier are $1500 - $2000

I'd ask for a refund for 4k after seeing Express, 91 and these LI teams lose in tournaments all year

LI Is saturated with teams. It will all depend on where you are and the coaches. Most have finished tryout but Im sure you could contact any of them. In my area (Suff / Nass border) there is Outlaws, Recon, FLG, Viper, True Blue, Rebels ($$$). That's a few off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more

you must be misinformed on 4HHH. They arent very good, infact they are bad. Way to pile 20 on them too, pretty classy. Team 91 LI is pretty good, so that is a good win. It looks like both Express North teams played you pretty well. One I assume is B team, so take that for what its worth.

I didnt see the game, so I dont know if Laxachusetts got lucky or not. You didnt have to play Sweetlax either, they destroyed the Express North team you beat by 4.

Totally wrong, Baltimore is Maryland and Maryland is Baltimore. It's disgusting. "Almost always turf" really? that's supposed to impress anyone? come on Md daddy, own up to your Baltimore roots. Maryland is the syphilis of America.

I have no dog in the Hawks vs NY race. If you are paying 4K for any club lacrosse team you are an out and out sucker and the organization is laughing all the way to the bank.

LOL, you can't win on the field so now you reach. Don't know if it's more sad or funny. Lacrosse, I know you're from New York, but focus on lacrosse here. Go read your response and then think about the fact you are on a youth lax website and are being trolled up and down the board and people are getting a response from you like that. Just food for thought!!

Laughing even harder when they are charging that much for a 2nd or 3rd team at an age level.

I heard it's the top two groups (around 40) are practicing together then splitting up for tourneys then there's a third group complied of Outlaws/Knights kids and B kids from last year.


That's accurate.
The 3rd group is Wieczorek's only team. He is not coaching 2 teams unless you count St. Anthony's.

I think the 40+ kids splitting tourneys is a recipe for disaster.

I laugh pretty darn hard at parents holding back little Johnny b/c he can’t compete with boys his own age.

Hey LI man, I'm from LI, North Shore though, not strip mall trash... Parts of MD are BEAUTIFUL! Owen Mills, Annapolis and of course the eastern shore towns but that is way outside the lax scope. Get your facts straight before you come on here sounding all uneducated while representing LI and bashing what you don't know in MD.

My predictions:
Someone will claim a MD or MA team as the best in the country
Someone else will cry, "HOLDBACK"
Someone else will call that person "Vinny" and claim that all of LI stinks
Then that will play on repeat for the next 10 months

Practices haven't even started yet. Asking for predictions because you're hoping someone will mention your son's team is silly.
A team's lights out FOGO could break his foot riding his skateboard.
Another team's back-up goalie could grow 5 inches, put on 10lbs and work with a trainer.

What I'm saying is, sit back and relax and enjoy what's left of the summer.

The fall tournaments will be here before we know it. Then you all can play the game above as much as you want.
Time is fleeting. Especially time spent with your family.
Don't waste it measuring up the immeasurable.

The list is wildly incomplete. Why include FLG is they don't even have a 2026? Don't get me wrong, I like their organization, but including them is silly. Some missing off the top of my head:
rebels
True Blue
MooseLax
LILC
Rebels
Roar
Recon
Dozens of other town travel teams.
I'm probably missing a lot too that should go before a non-existent team
