I saw Tommyknockers all over Instagram with their big win in Raleigh. LOLOLOL. Is there any reason they could not come up North and play real teams. All those highlights look awesome playing midwest schlubs. Why can't they play against real competition.[/quote]

If you're flying to the east coast, why go play Team 91 Carolina, Krakens, VLC, and Shamrocks when you had a Saturday and Sunday in PA & MD where you could have played some of the top 2026 teams?[/quote]


Not sure which team you are from but Tommyknockers is a legit top 5 team. Don’t know how many hold backs they field but they pass extremely well and their D is strong. I would like to see them play Hawks, it would be a great game.[/quote]

What top teams have Tommy knockers beaten to back up your claim that they are a top 5 team? I know that US Club lacrosse has them and whoever the Kings are at 3 & 4 but I dont see how they are there when you look at the teams they play.[/quote]

Tommycockers might be lightening force that brings long island together, team that beats them 15-0 is king of the island for a week.[/quote]

Shoot, you can even get LI and MD dads to age that Tommyknockers are ranked way oo high

Sorry *agree

Any thoughts on the 25/26 camp this weekend in NJ? Is this basically a starter showcase?

I think it’s more of a clinic with great coaches and couple of games. Rosters just came out. Looks like some pretty good kids are participating.

Who is sponsoring the clinic? Is it too late to enroll?

https://www.theplayersseries.com/

It says it’s sold out but shoot them an email.

What are they charging for the event? Looks like it is going to be good

How do you know the names of kids other than your child’s teammates maybe? Sounds creepy

Because a lot of these kids are from Long Island and have been playing travel lax since 2/3rd grade. Between camps, clinics and switching teams, kids get to know a lot of kids on other teams. Maybe you should let your kid hang with his friends in between games instead of yelling at him for the shot he missed

It’s over $400 for less than 4 hours of lax. That’s pretty expensive even with college assistants. Over $65k in the bank. Plus the cut they get from parents buying videos at 120 or more for 7/8 grade kiddos. And the guy behind it from S2S loaded up his sons team! Weak move, very weak!

I’ll skip this one. But they sold it out apparently.

The guy is right. It's a little weird or you're son is going and you want to make it sound worth the money you paid.

Yes my son is going. You can’t see the rosters unless you signed up. The rosters have the kids name and the club they play for. Someone asked about the event and if they could still sign up. I was simply giving that person information. If you think it’s too much money I respect that opinion. No need to bash people who want to go. I’m gonna make a day out of it with my son and check out Princeton campus. Happy thanksgiving

If you think the rosters aren’t circulating you are crazy!

It also comes with a sports psychology book for the boys! It should be for the parents. They need their heads examined if they go for this!

Adult men following 12 year old boys playing lacrosse, creepy isn't the word. I shake my head at some of these guys, a hot mom will walk right in front most of these dads', and the dads' neck will never turn, but they have laser focus on 12 year old boys!

Coming from a guy who’s commenting on a message board about 12 year old lacrosse.......on thanksgiving. Sorry pal. You just as much a lost as the rest of us.

And on thanksgiving you have a comment.

Besides what day of the week it is some these fathers are creepy.

Seems to be be run by S2S.

Yup. Just a bunch of Long Island coaches with a college coach sprinkled in here or there. All the college coaches they advertised were not there. Overall I thought the event was overpriced. Best part is they make you give the jersey back after your done. Seems cheap and with covid just downright gross

Who coached your son’s team?

Why does it matter ?

Anyone else hear anything about Igloo being sold off?

Because you said the college coaches were sprinkled in!, suggesting there weren’t a lot of coaches. There were also many college players (including some great ones). Each team had a college assistant working as the HC.

It was very expensive
The pinnie return was a joke

But it was as advertised, you got what you paid for!

Was a good camp

Yes. Heard they may merge with another club

Agreed, completely as advertised. My son enjoyed himself.

Players series should Have needed invites or coach recommendations
Drop off of talent was significant
Appeared the 2026 was dominated by 2 players...not from the Island.

Really?? With what club and when?

Not sure how you could possible say that unless you stayed for both sessions. Half the 2026 were in the morning. The other half were in the afternoon. I agree an application/invitation would be better. But they would have a hard time finding enough kids to shell out 400 bucks if it was invitation only.

Where were they from?

Was your kid in the 1st or 2nd session?

Didn't go, I was asking the original poster where the non-LI kids that dominated were from.

I was at the morning session (Yale and SJU). There was a kid on SJU who could play, not sure where he was from

We went to the morning session my kid played for Yale. Coaching was good and my kid liked it. Best kid on my son’s team was the Express kid. Best kid on SJU was the HHH kid. If your kid went you can see the rosters. Both of these kids play 2025 if you believe the info on the rosters. The game was not close - the SJU kid did a lot of damage. Nobody got a trophy or a pinny

No trophy or pinnie.......hahahahaha

Kids on legacy are jumping ship

Team was decent a few years ago. What happened ?

Any more info on kids jumping ship from Legacy? was it a few or one disgruntled player/family?

They may be merging with another big name program

Going to Recon.
