you may be the biggest lost. You must be so much fun to hang out with at parties .🤮

Madlax on a mission in FL. They will win it all in dominant fashion just like NLF. Revenge will be sweet. Looking at you Taz.

Taz again prove they will always be a pretender and a joke. Travel to freakin FL to get eliminated in the quarters. Madlax was waiting for them for the rematch. Taz can always claim they are the kings of fall ball. Probably better this way, they would have been clobbered and humiliated by Madlax. Enjoy Disney and don't worry about missing school, it's obviously not that important to you. Greasy parents can drown their misery with booze on the plane ride home to Laguardia. Disgusting filthy airport.. just like them.

Taz you might need to get a restraining order. This person is nuts and a stalker.

Next time you post and claim about being the #1 ranked team, stop and think about it first. This should be a reality check.

wow who what happened to you. if you have not figured out by now having a network makes things a lot easier in life not sure what to tell you. having a common thread is what builds networks whether it be college football, high school lacrosse, tennis, golf, juggling, chess, etc. some networks are more powerful than others. the college lax network is very strong as is going to a school like Duke or Johns Hopkins, etc so if it gets you in a school like that how can that be a bad thing? Even if you dont see the field much if it gets you through admissions you have won. It is only going to get harder to get into prestigious colleges you need something that differentiates you. Not just about getting a scholarship.

I think this is the key point that gets lost in the scholarship shuffle. My son is a good student but will probably get into a much better school than otherwise because of lacrosse (true at Division 1 and Division 3). Any money, even if small, is gravy.

Agreed, it is always good to have some perspective, and a reality check. Not the original poster, but as it relates to my son, he plays for a high level club team, but, as he has gotten older, I have personally stepped back from getting too involved. I do not force anything on him, such as attending things like showcases (which I feel are mostly a waste of time). I let him make the decisions, and he has to live by them, good or bad. While I think that lacrosse may give him a leg up in the college admissions process, if he decides to go that route, I push him more towards other sports to avoid the burn-out. Frankly, I would prefer that he excel at some other sport like track where he could actually get some college money if he were any good.

You are right

They are all different and continue on or quit for their own reasons. I have three sons and all played lax. None were ever on the "top" team for their grade level but they are all decent players. #1 went on to play in college and won a NCAA ring. # 2 quit all sports in 9th grade and developed other interests. # 3 is a 2024 players. It looks now like he will play at least through high school if not further but that decision is entirely up to him.
Whatever your son decides to do just cherish the time you have watching him play because it passes by too fast. Of he moves on to other interests support him in that the same way you support him in lax.
Life is all about the journey.

You are right

TAZ was missing a key group and that will not happen this summer

Always will be a Bridesmaid.

Its not the coaches fault..

Whose fault is it?

You are blessed. But I think you're way of thinking have a lot to do with it. Thank you for sharing. NCAA ring, wow! Can only imagine how proud.

You bought all that self-righteous BS???!!! “wow rings you’re so blessed” “ can I get on my knees and kiss your .... ring”

It’s true what they say. Once the WSYL is over, nobody cares. Attention shifts to HS team and recruiting. Nobody cares about wins and losses anymore. Well, it was a fun ride while it lasted.

Better stated the focus shifts. Wining a tourney means less. It’s playing in good events and playing on a team that where your son has appropriate playing time. And it’s just fall and summer, not a lot on winter after 8th grade.

His favorite players who can’t execute

They have Zero Heart and less Lax IQ.

USCL 2024 goalie to watch ... I think they got that wrong or did someone write them a check to publish that?

Can’t blame it all on the goalie. Team quit on him.

That's garbage. A good goalie makes saves. A great goalie lifts their team up and carries them on their back. Great goalies know how to rally their team.

Only so much a goalie can do if your defense lets you down. The Goalie is single handedly the toughest position on the field physically and mentally.
