Have to do the right thing and give something back. They want there money when you owe . If they don't give nothing back it will really be bad business by them .

Clubs owners are trying to cover their tracks, because they know this issue will come up. I know my club, cancelled practice, but still is holding clinics $$$$ at the Turtle Dome. Now we will see who the true slime balls are.

To anyone on here who is actually thinking the WSYL is going to take place this year, I have one question for you: really? Are you that dense? Every single professional and collegiate sporting event has either been outright canceled or postponed for two months (at this point) despite the hundreds of millions of dollars in losses that will accrue, but you expect an amateur event that caters to about 350 13 year olds to go on? This is unprecedented. People are on here asking "who's practicing?" while entire school districts have been shut down,businesses - actual money making multi-national endeavors - are forcing their employees to stay home, and restaurants, bars and theaters have gone dark. Really? Who's practicing? I detest to be the bearer of bad news to all the parents who have spent the past three years jockeying and positioning their son to be on the "right" team with the "right" kids for this moment, but..... it ain't happening. The sooner you reconcile yourself to this fact the better. You have a better chance of getting pregnant again and shooting for 2033. Personally, I'm worried about fall 2020 being impacted. Anyone who is holding out hope that somehow, someway, the organizers of the WSYL are going to be able to squeeze qualifiers into some weekend in June when nothing else is going on (good luck with that!) on the heels of a global pandemic, and still provide enough time for travel arrangements for a tournament in July (despite the fact that airlines have shut down 50% of their capacity), without any of this being impacted by a phenomenon that has caused nations to close their borders and cities to impose curfews, is just out of his mind. Youth Lacrosse cannot spill into September, as the calendar flips on the kids' age. There just isn't enough time. Your kid's world series hopes ended the minute some donkey ate a live bat in central China in November. Sorry to say, it's over.

Better watch out hes going to talk to back of the cage and get your IP address.

Now when the dust finally does settle and it will, the focus will be on kids preparing for high school lacrosse. Kids getting better, improving their game. Some kids in 8th grade will play middle school, some JV, some varsity. The which team is better conversations will now start to fade away.

Hey bozo, the board is about ubs and there secret "get togethers"Ez in middle of a major pandemic. Not WSYL.go back to sleep.

Again, but this time please speak Americanese

Correct

Are you referring to this;

Website forums and Back of the cage. I have not been on these sites since November of 2011 and I've never slept better. We expect that no Turtles parents engage in any commentary on any online forums. It is toxic waste of the most epic proportion and the idea that people think it's appropriate to write terrible things about young boys is pathetic. Please do not be one of these people who need to get a life. No teams or players are getting scholarships at this age and these forums that allow anonymous commenting are terrible for the sport. DON'T DO IT.

PS. I know the guys who run BOTC and they do give me IP addresses.
thanks,
Joe

Secret practices, secret get together. Really dude. You think a group of 13 year old boys are able to keep secrets. If kids on the same team, go outside and throw the ball around, shoot on a cage, good for them. Yesterday late afternoon, I saw about 200 kids on our high school field, playing soccer, playing lacrosse, playing football, riding bikes. Adults walking and running on the track. Is this wrong to do? I say no. Being inside, in crowded places I wouldn’t be ok with. The season is over, both school and club. No team is getting an edge on anyone, because there are no tournaments, no season, no WSYL. Nothing. It’s simply kids playing together and having fun and hopefully improving. For all those people who had their kids, bounce from team to team to team over the past 5 years to go Denver, it was all for nothing. Not to mention looking like fools along the way.

Like lots of businesses worldwide, some club lacrosse teams will be closing up shop, if not all of them. This catastrophe has crushed people and will continue to do so for months, maybe longer. Let’s face it, jobs will be lost, retirement accounts depleted, many people will struggle to pay mortgages. How many people in 4 months will be lining up at tryouts, how many people will have an extra several thousand bucks for club lacrosse. How many people will want to go stay overnight at hotels and spend 700 bucks on lacrosse weekends. The answer to all of the above is not many. Very sad, but very true.

If the WSYL is cancelled, Express dodged an orange bullet. Consider yourselves put on notice for 2021.

FOGOlax practicing through the Coronavirus epidemic... speechless

At this point, it's safe to assume the entire spring tournament season is not going to happen. We should be hearing soon that the PAL and school sports seasons are being canceled. Let's hope things return to normal by the fall.

At this point blame the parents not the programs. Parents do not have to bring their kids.... they are the real fools.

I see that on Instagram he is money hungry . He packs out his money grab clinics inside like a pack of sardines and just grabs any open turf space @ $50 a hour then jokes about it with fresh air and get better . Stop being greedy

100% agree.

I think spring is done. The summer season will start mid June and I suspect some tourney get moved to late July and August. Just need the clubs move back tryouts.

After they do the right thing and refund the customer and don’t say we will take care of you next year . refund the lost season and if they don't wake up to these clubs acts .

He runs a business that has produces some of the best FO players in the world. He packs them in like sardines because his players/students get better. Period!

Money grab he has had a clinic everyday this week at breezy park in Huntington. $40 . Is he paying Breezy park anything ? Is it a town park ? These guys dont let up 👎👎

Stop just stop . Dont wanna hear the best fo players in the world ? Really who cares . Lacrosse not even relevant as a pro sport After college say bye to the sport . Some are you are really fooled out there. This guy having clinics putting people at risk he joking about it on Instagram. No school , college , ncaa tournments , pro sports , malls closed and this guy having $50 “cash” clinics blowing a whistle on his phone :

Sounds like your son didn't live up to your expectations so you are blaming it on someone else.

Continue to be fooled. WSYL is over, 2025's will fall to the bottom of the blog like the rest of them.

The WSYL likely being canceled would be the best thing to happen to the 2025 class.

Likely? Dr. Fauci put a stake through the heart of that tournament. The kids aren't going back to school until June 1 at the earliest, and Colorado is probably two or three weeks behind New York in the outbreak wave. Anyone who is thinking that a lacrosse tournament will happen while the government is projecting up to 200,000 dead and 30% unemployment is out of their mind. The WSYL is not happening.

Thank God. I am thrilled... absolutely estatic.

What is thrilling? We are midst of a global crisis? Kids miss out on something they have been working for? HS seniors are robbed of the best part of senior year? I can go on. SMH

I think the writer was referring to the WSYL. You’re reading too deeply. Take a breath, everything will play out eventually.

Easy mama, control your emotions, pull yourself together. Youth lacrosse doesn't matter. I would love to be a fly on the wall in many house holds, perfect families? I think not!

just a heads up many of you are thinking your son will be going to a high Div 1 program just be happy your son loves the game and it will all fall into place . go look at the high div 1 programs and really look at the talent it is very difficult to get to that level . only a small amount of kids make it to the UNC , UVA Dukes of the world

And majority of high schools they are from not NY . Mostly prep schools , boarding schools , academy’s. Ranging from 40k to 60k a year since 9th grade .

Really looking forward to the qualifier this weekend. It is going to be a great tournament. I've been waiting for this for 5 years!

I guess you didn’t get the invite. You were probably so close.

Who got invited from Long Island? Can't wait to hear this....

I honestly hope my sons team didn’t get an invite, simply don’t have the resources this year. Not sure many people would!

Invite? Really. People are getting sick and dying left and right. People are losing their jobs left and right. Fly to Colorado. Spend 6k. 12 weeks away. No thanks. Those invites are worthless pieces of paper that most people don’t want.
