For 2023, yes that is correct, but the day before Eclipse beat 2way 11-2. Who knows, they are probably equal.
For 2024, you are partially wrong. Yes, 2way beat Eclipse 8-3. But that was the 2nd Eclipse team, not their top 2024 team. Eclipse had 3 teams at 2024 this past summer. 2way beat the 2nd one easily. But did not play the top Eclipse team.

Primetime 2023 could not even close the deal in a their own B tournament this weekend.
Why, is the town team double holdbacks?

Gods luck to everyone who tried out.

Prime time tryout - very organized and well staffed. Liked how they reduced the numbers for a smaller group tryout on the third day.
Express North tryout - not sure how they could accurately evaluate the boys. Seemed pretty chaotic.
North sent out invitations last week.

I attended three separate tryouts and was impressed by each. Kudos to the Westchester youth programs, I've never seen such a deep pool of talent in the area. Strong club programs will only benefit each town program. Play with kids from other towns and be coached by as many different coaches as possible and learn from each. Get out of your comfort zone and be exposed to all the lacrosse that you can.

My son was invited to play for the Express North 2024 single A team, not AA. I realize he is not a top flight player and needs to improve his skills, but is a single A team and the Express North the best program for him? I don't know. Does anyone have any experience or input?

IT ALL comes down to who is coaching your child and whether your son will get meaningful reps in both practice and games

Yes, playing time and coaching are critical but remember if your son is on the B team for the 2024 group then you should confirm that he is totally committed to getting better and his goal should be to get on the A team next season. Otherwise, you may be disappointed with losing your weekends watching below avg youth lacrosse.

Def different levels of play between the two. Ask how many players are returning from last year then find out where they went if they left. If a lot of players left and went to a different program that will tell you something. If several players moved up to the A team that will tell you something else. Then there is the question, what does your son want to do? EN 2024 (Katonah) AA is not for everyone.

In my experience with multiple kids in multiple sports, the kids are almost always placed at the correct level. It's the parents who think otherwise. Therefore, without knowing much about the specifics of this kid and these teams, it is probably true that he is on the right team for his skill/athleticsm. The question then will be whether the coaching will be good, will there be sufficient practices/games, will the team be placed in the correct brackets at the correct tournaments, and whether he will get sufficient playing time. Basically the same issues for AA team or any other team.

EN 2024 Katonah "B" had a tough time last year with some blowouts during the fall and in June but became much more competitive in July. the "A" team (which they call "AA") was pretty good but there was/is a huge gap in talent... Also... i think there was an issue with 2024 B team coach last year, I think his name was Doller, Heard from one parent that he missed at least one tournament and that the team was coached by a backup. Whatever the issue, their son tried out for EN 2024 again in July so they seem to be satisfied with the program.

My son was on the 2024 Express North B team and they had two coaches this summer Coach Doller and Coach Thorton with a college player assistant--Coach Matt?, not sure who would be considered a backup. My son developed to the point that he was asked to play on the A team this season along with a few other kids from that team. You need to be realistic because kids develop at different speeds, have varying athleticism and aptitude. My son was actually considered a late bloomer, which I think is nuts, he just turned 13.

I'm looking for some guidance. My son was contacted by a division 1 coach via email and was told they watched him play at XYZ tournament this summer, liked what they saw and would like him to visit the campus and attend their prospect camp in October. It was very specific, he replied with a question and the coach answered it accurately. So, should we consider this a real overture or are they just trying to fill prospect camp slots? I'm a skeptic but he really did play well at that tournament. He's not even sure he would want to attend the college but it would be nice to know the process.

C. is a nepotism king. All offensive runs through one of his kids on the Ridgefield HS team and 3 eclipse teams. I would detest to have my kid on one of these teams if he was an offensive player.

Pay $450 for 5 hours? That’s a joke. If he wants him, then ask coach to waive the entrance fee.

IMO PRE-FALL RANKINGS
2023 1.PrimeTime 2.Eclipse 3.Express North Pearsall 4.2-Way 5.Express North Brameier 6. CT Wolves 7.91 TriState 8. Pride 9. Swash
This group is starting to bunch together more after EN Pearsall. Holdbacks bolster Eclipse and close gap with Primetime. Teams 4-6 all very close so well see how fall and summer shake out. Definite drop after #6.
2024 1. Eclipse Rushton 2. Express North SChreiber 3. Primetime 4. 2-Way 5. Express North Lawrence 6. Eclipse AA 7. 91 Tri-State 8. CT Wolves
Eclipse above EN Schreiber but not by much. Primetime roster thinned a bit this fall so well see about depth. EN Lawrence gains with additions of holdbacks so they may make some noise.

Welcome back! You forgot Predators for both ages. 2Way spanked Eclipse in title game in tourney last summer (though Eclipse spanked them day before, but winning championship has to give 2Way edge in rankings) 91TS lost to Swash last summer so they can be swapped Agreed, #7 and lower are serious drop-offs Any 2025-2026 gurus out there who can add to this?
