Woman? That’s funny.

I was appalled at the SW 2022 coach Saturday during Mid Atlantic dropping F bomb screaming at players. We were horrified for those girls. Male coach was screaming & cursing I was embarrassed for him. It was so bad the ref almost ejected him. Shame on those parents tolerating that behavior just for bragging rights. BTW, we beat them but we were all speechless at male coaches abusive behavior.

Why is a SW 2022 post on this 2025 page????

Transitive property of animal lacrosse coaches - TG coach is screaming at my kid therefore at least she's not the SW 2022 coach who is more of any animal than my kid's coach. I think this theory was first put forth by Newton if I recall correctly. Liltte know fact - he was a longstick middie back in the day....

Has Spallina 2025 played 2025 teams in the last year. I've noticed that they try to play up a division and play the weaker 2024 teams. Is that Spallina goto move, dominating c/d level teams and posting it to his social media.

This has already been covered here on pages 12 -15 or so. Leave the King of LI Lax alone, he doesn't play 2025 teams because they can't compete with his squad, save for M&D / SW / Hero's

Sure is! Hahaha

They played in a 2025 division a couple of weeks ago in NJ. Played legit 25's and went 3-0.

Whatever his go to move is wish our team would use it. As much as it pains me to say they are far and away the best team in class and even further the best on the Island

TG doesn’t deserve a shot at Spallina after the fall league, but after the past 2 weekends in Maryland that might change. After Beating Pride (pride tied M&D), losing to M&D by 2, and Hero’s by 3 it might be time for Spallina to give them a shot.

Has TG offered to play Spallina outside of a tourney setting and he turned them down? It seems when they do enter the same tournaments they never play each other in playoffs. YJ always ends up playing M&D or Heroes for championship.

The only team to ever beat Spallina was Hero's. The dominate their age bracket.

Slop Guns should try to beat Jabroni & Lame-O first before they start calling out Spalina.

Spalina beats Jabroni by double digits even with that new roster he poached.

Lame-O beating is probably worse.

No one is ducking any of these teams.

Corona tops all! Any LI team going to NJ this weekend for Lax For Cure tournament is nuts! NJ Case’s exploding and the weekend before Thanksgiving! Good luck to you! God bless sane directors/ coaches that appreciate the situation and for go the $

The fall league was a disaster......everyone played like garbage. I haven’t see the kids make so many drops since 3rd grade. TG went toe to toe with M&D, Hero’s and they beat Pride. They should play Janelli, Lomo and Spallina. What’s the worst that can happen?

Ok it’s not the last 11 with no future, it’s the last 10! No Shot whatsoever!

I guess your team lost!
Stop already word is some of your best players are looking to make a move. Better do it before it is too late and you are stuck there.

Stuck?

I like the the long term upside of playing against the best competition in the country vs. playing and losing to your own D team in 7 v 7s and dominating school teams in that trash indoor league you are hiding out in this year.

Let’s see where each approach gets these teams to next time they play.

I think it’s you who should be worried about kids bailing from the “word” I hear.

I wouldn't say Spallina team is dominate. They are good, win are very well coached. They have been beaten by Hero's and M&D in the past. Will be interesting to see how the team does in the future with developing talent from Roster spot 1 to roster spot 25 when it goes from tourney style to showcase style. They seem to be a little bit top heavy and Coach Spallina doesn't play his full roster in tight games against Hero's and MND.

They have lost like one game in three years. Obviously every team is beatable but tip your cap and move one MD beat them three years ago

That top heavy rumor is so old.

Those kids who don’t play would be studs on every other local team. And at least they know how to play based on superior coaching. Poor and outdated coaching at this age can do more damage than lack of playing time.

The top heavy garbage is just something the B team parents say to make themselves feel better about their situation.

My daughter is not on the top team and I think that kinky applys to bottom 2/3 players and the top 2/3 players on lower teams.

Hard for Spallina to lose, when they haven’t played any Maryland teams in 18 months. Love the 3 year remark.

I'm a Dad from Lomo. Why would you possibly analyze the Spallina team? They are great. The parents know the philosophy and what they are getting. Their choice to be on the team knowing the coach may only play13 girls and 6 sit. Not your problem. To each their own. Let it go. Plenty of talent spread across many teams on LI. Probably 50 girls from LI will eventually go D1, if not more, and not all from that team. Too funny. Get a life. Hopefully your daughter enjoys playing with her friends and gets good coaching and listens to the coaches and not the helicopter parents.

Lomo dad - you nailed it. Great post! Only thing I’ve heard, and it’s still the preference of the Spallina parent, is that Spallina rarely makes practices / tournaments. It’s hard to say they are well coached when he’s not there. I know you didn’t claim that, but others who posted did.

Somehow he's always there for the championship photo-op for his social media account.

They are practicing at SB and he is at everything the past few years when the kids were younger he was not there often but that is not the case anymore. I think it is great for the age group and my daughters team has been invited to practice as well. Every parent for every team knows what they are getting in their situation To each his own

Well said

Slop Guns lmao Trutgh is Lomo beat TG by 4-5 goals

Lacrosse Magazine just ranked YJ No 1 in the 2025 division. Wonder who they played in the 25 bracket to earn that.

How long before the King of LI posts it on his Instagram page?

Why wouldn't he? You think any other program no matter what age/boys/girls wouldn't post that??

Would say he probably won’t I think it’s probably an expectation not a goal Keep checking tho lmao use the same energy you you use to detest on here towards your daughter and sky’s the limit My suggestion would be for you to use it as motivation to your daughter instead of the jealous daddy it works for me Happy thanksgiving to all

This is what you are worried about

I disagree would be a great game but think TG wins

No chance TG wins. TG is 5th best on LI

Hearing SS trying to help poach YJ LOMO/Jan players to TG. From two different people

They all try to poach from one another. This is the last push. After this year the kids usually stay. Jesters doing a great job of recruiting. They will take full teams! The 2023 YJ team is half Igloo. Tough business.

There are 8 or 9 former igloo players in YJ Thorn/Colbert roster out of 24.

They should’ve taken more Colbert girls. They always crushed Thorn.
