I remember, that's the Tourney were Legacy crumbled,haha!

Have any clubs made any definitive statements about this year yet?

Only definitive statement at this point that can be made is "We definitively can't tell you when or if the season will happen"

Season is over Stick a fork in it and kiss your $ goodbye. My guess is clubs will reduce next seasons "tuition" for returning players but they wont be handing out checks like the Federal govt....

Interesting rebels make the first move sending out travel email season update.
Hope everyone is doing well, and is safe. We are reaching out to give you guys an update on the upcoming season.

There is a lot of uncertainty with fields, tournaments, governement regulations, etc.

With all of this in mind, we have decided to extend the season until the end of Summer 2021. There will be no tryouts, or tryout fee as usual. There will only be a supplemental tryout to fill any available spots in the fall. The details of what we will be able to attend, practice, scrimmage, train this summer will effect the overall credit that each family will receive. This is a very fluid situation, and once we all have a better understanding of a return date, this will be finalized. Once we are able to see the total value that each family paid for, versus what they received we will make this decision. We will work to avoid any unneccesary costs going forward through the end of 2021, and will break any future payments up into 10 Monthly Installments with the understanding this virus has had an economic impact on many.

Tournaments are changing their dates on a daily basis, as regulations come in and change. Please currently ignore any scheduled changes, or information until there is a blanket update provided by us on tournament schedule.

We have the safety of our players and their families in mind as we make these decisions, and will phase our re-opening with appropriate measures. This will include actions such as practices, trainings, filmed scrimmages for recruiting ages, and mid-week round robin/tournament play until bigger events are allowed.

Specifically for the 2021 age group, we are working with tournament directors and there will be 2021 brackets this fall and possibly next summer for recruiting purposes if the summer season is shortened.

Pay $2500 in legal to recoop $1000.....brilliant!

What if the player does not want to return for the 2021 season?

Everyone will get screwed, someone will practice with under 10 kid sessions and some won’t. Either way there keeping our money. Tourneys or not we won’t see a dollar from these programs!!!

What contract did you sign that you can use in court? LOL

I would say most teams have a sign in process where you pay the tuition. I have all those receipts. Most teams websites list what they provide during the season. Uniforms, fall/spring/summer tournaments, practices, etc. It doesnt take much to prove what you paid and what you received. This is small claims court where most times the 2 parties will come to an agreement. It might not have to come to that if both parties are fair. Got all that matlock?

Has anyone heard from their clubs weekly or monthly ? I’ve heard some are sending workouts and some aren’t sending anything like 91, true blue and igloo

Well, you go get your court order, and I’ll sue you for wrongful prosecution.

Someone should get a lawyer willing to take these cases on and post his details here. That lawyer could make a lot of money as the go to guy handling all the claims against these clubs.

Here is another fact about those videos and Instagram pages as well. This will be in lieu of refunds and credits. Mark my words. Come the end of the summer, when people will be looking for some financial restitution from this club, their answer will be exactly what you just said. We had coaches send videos of drills, we sent Instagram packages. That will be the answer given. When people say they missed 4 months of club lacrosse, the club will say, no you didn’t.

I don't know where you heard 91 wasn't sending anything. They have weekly emails that go out with different workout options and created an Instagram page with videos from coaches with different drills for the boys to do. Have all your facts before you go posting things that aren't true.

Exactly. All these videos and Instagram posts are smoke and mirrors.

The problem isn't with the clubs, it's with the businesses running the tournaments (the blatant's of the world). It's a trickle-down effect - All the clubs laid out a lot of money for these tournaments and now they're not being offered refunds.

Also, everyone thinks these club teams are making a lot of money but in reality, they're not. Sure, the big dogs are (91, Express, Igloo, etc.) but most club teams aren't.

Are they going to use the videos, the instagram drills and workouts and say not getting refund to you because we supplied that ? Did they say that in the email ? Just curious.

Boo. Hoo.

E3 said tonight that one program is starting small group training, 9 players and 1 coach. Does anyone know what program is starting?

This can not happen until phase 2. And with seeing many areas update today not go into phase 2 after 14 days, it can be quite some time till you are ALLOWED to play and guarantee the players/parents/coaches safety.

My son told me one of his friends teams here in Nassau had a practice yesterday.
