Nice try to stir the pot but that would never happen with the fl$. Try again though - If nothing else it's amusing.

I heard fl$ may do tryouts next year for their younger teams (3rd, 4th, and 5th grade) teams and try to compete with the stronger teams (91, Express, Igloo, etc.). Does anyone know if that's true?

yup that pretty much sums it up...

I heard they better do something over there... 2017, 2018, and 2019 teams cannot beat top teams in their age groups. A far cry from the U-15 champ team a few years ago. Parents unhappy, no training, lack luster coaching, one practice a week , etc. many top players looking elsewhere for next year.

ummm, news flash, 2017 fl$ just won the NXT cup down in Philly

I really don't understand why people are so down on fl$, fl$ has always stated that they are there to help better the players, to play fair, to provide playing time. I would think that a parent would rather have their child play with an organization that will let them play than be one of those players who sit on the sideline and only play when the team is crushing their opponent. I would be more concerned if the HS level of fl$ was not competitive, that is the age that really matters and when the players get noticed.

The fl$ players and parents are some of the best, overall, in attitude and behavior. They may not win all the time, but they sure have fun and get along outside of the LAX field.

Lol and building more then just athletes. They should be embarassed with the showings of their middle school teams. Actually their 2017 won nxt cup so I give them that.

Don't forget that a few years ago Team 91 and True Blue were either just starting out or didn't even exist. What makes these two teams is that they have great chemistry because they really have not changed their rosters in two years.
fl$ constantly changes their rosters...last year's team was not great either. I'm sure they will change it up again...it's hard to get things going without ample practices and constant upheavals.

Yeah but heard their 2018 team got crushed at NXT.

I'm not sure that's true about constantly changing the roster.I heard , many kids on fl$ lite , make the 6th grade team. You know, A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, money-wise that is.Why take the chance with a new kid when you know last years kid is going to pay such a high team fee. And Hey , why not take all the try-out fee's and use the cash for existing kids lax helmets.Lets see, $125.00 try out fee could = a new helmet! Could it be??? I hope not. But then, why charge so much for a try out ?

Why does F L $ charge so much $$$ ?

If you can't afford it, find another team. Stop wasting everyones time with the constant whining about the cost. Go back to the hole you live in but stop the constant complaining.

Nice, branding someone for being from Manhasset/GC/CSH because they make a money comment. What nonsense, how come not South Massapequa/Kings Park etc etc etc?? You're a JERK

Stop the madness, I know of another town in Suffolk that has 8+ kids less than 1/4 mile of each other that are the top in their grade. What a pleasure to have talented friends who live near bye play together. Id take a group of kids that will play and be together over boys that don't know each other any other day. they will gel and play better as a team, and that is what it is about getting a team better.

That's great. we are ALL, all for that. BUT DON'T CHARGE A TRY OUT FEE. What is it you people don't get!!!

Manhasset's 6th grade PAL "A" team went undefeated this year. As did their 5th grade PAL "A" team

Maybe they just have a lot more younger talent than some of the other towns. Maybe they are doing something at the youth level that your town isn't
