BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2023-9th Grade Fall 2019/Summer 2020

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse for the Boys 2023-9th Grade Fall 2019/Summer 2020 season.

Express and S2S are loving life right now!

I heard the S2S AA golaie was at Igloo along with their best middie

Why is that? Major Igloo exodus?

Igloo is upgrading by getting rid of baggage.

Where are all the kids going to play

Wow ! All this vitriol about a new team this year, while an older more established team at this age falls apart.

Why do you think older teams are falling apart? Wouldn't it make sense to stay on a team with chemistry going into high school?

s2s had i think 3 igloo kids, one was a goalie. all 3 were pretty good. some other mixed travel helmets, some town helmets.

that was last week. were they not at s2s?

Thanks Dad. Those kids are not needed at S2S. There were better kids at tryouts.

More Igloo kids tonight..studs

You sound pathetic. How is your boy going to look when he comes back to the Igloo huddle knowing he tried to get away from his team?

There were helmets from Igloo, 91, Icon, Rebels, FLG, and Express, and few random helmets at S2S. People leave organizations for many reasons. These organizations aren’t loyal so why do parents have to be? If you aren’t happy where you play find a better fit. Be realistic though about why you are leaving and that you are getting what you want with a new team. Big commitment (time and $$) to not be satisfied. If they decide to go back to their original team the organization will happily cash their check. Hopefully you aren’t the parent who will make them feel
Like an outcast.

Have emails or phone calls for s2s gone out yet?

Yes to S2S.

Freedom is going to be very good next year.

Who?

Meaning the kids looking to get out of Igloo.

After losing key players . Igloo looking to take there core somewhere?

Is it Groundhog Day? You said the same thing after mass exodus last year. AA must be bleeding money at 2023. I guess as long as you keep 10 players they'll be ok.

Last year exodus contained parents who weren't good sideline spectators,

I just saw this new post in the Maryland 2023 forum. Is this a joke?

"Reclassing help needed! How do I go about reclassing my 2023? He is a solid player and could be dominant with another year under his belt. My issue is he is currently an excellent student in advanced classes. Is it possible for him to be classed 2024 while taking predominantly 2023 classes? I want him to get ahead in lacrosse, but not go backwards in key academic subjects. What schools should we talk to?"

being a parent of a child who didn't make an "A" team we are looking for options of the next tier lax club. not looking to go to a "B" team from the big lax clubs because I've seen that those teams seem to struggle. I'm not coming on here looking to stir the pot or put down lax clubs. I know its a lil late but looking for best options for my child. thanks and please no negativity

Maybe your kid isn’t an A player. Nothing wrong with that. Find a team that your kid will get a lot of playing time. Get over the label. You need to check out supplemental tryouts at this point.

A

My advice, don’t dismiss playing for a “B” team as some of them areas good or better than “A” teams. At this age it’s almost impossible to break into an A team unless your kids a stud or you are okay for him to be a 6th attack or 3rd line middie. What you really want is your son to see the field and work on his own to get better. If your sons goal is to play lacrosse in college then the team he plays for will only help if he’s actually on the field. There are hundreds of players from B teams that go on to play in college. uSW57w

I heard there were coaching changes at Igloo. Anyone have insight to this? Is the sore going with the coach somewhere?

Express has now added a Supplemental tryout so obviously they're not happy with the makeup of their teams

Wrong. They want more $$$$. It's $115 per kid.

.... or they just want more checks. Express will field 100 teams if they have that many parents willing to pay.

Is this a general statement or specific to 2023? Express has not lost anyone they wanted to keep and, along with the Bandits, continues to dominate this age group on Long Island and nationally. They won the last NLF tournament up at UMass breat some of the best teams in the country (Laxachusetts Black, Madlax and Crabs to name a few) so what do you know that makes you feel they "obviously" are not happy with the team?

For grades 2025 - 2030.

When are those going to be held?

Does anyone really care??????

Express not having supplemental tryouts for 2023

which teams got simnifically better and who got pillaged or worse?

Anyone know what "simnifically" means?

Igloo: worse
S2S: same
Express: better
91: same
True Blue: same
Turtles: better
Rebels: same

The old coach IGLOO had was their best shot.
