Sorry Hawkward you are the hawk out of water. You are left out of this hawkward conversation. You aren’t top 10. It’s now Sweatlax, Expresss, Tigers, Towermen, Express North

Thanks english teacher on a Anonymous site !! You Obsessed Lacrosse parent . Keep arguing who the best team is no one cares.

There was one kid on express North with a beard

When are Organizations posting tuition cost ? Who’s going to be on top this year ?

He had to be older

From what I understand he could have competed in the WSYL so he's not that old. But he doesn't practice with the team and only shows up to tournaments.

What is interesting is that Express North was literally pulling down 2025's to play at NLF during the middle of the tournament. All it took was for a 2025 to whisper "I'm reclassing" and he was on the 2026 team.

I find that hard to believe (but anything is possible) I stood next to that kid and if he went into a store to buy cigarettes no one would bat an eye.

Well that is interesting.

North will do anything to beat CoachC. The team is mostly "holdbacks " who couldn't field a WS team. Bringing in guest players for tournaments. Sorry for the parents who pay full tuition only to have your son sit while a guest player plays. The whole concept is ridiculous. To what end? Do we play travel lax for our kids or to stroke our own ego. Go ahead North.. boast about beating the WS champs... who you couldn't play in the WS tournament itself.
holdback lacrosse isn't going away.... But at least keep the team that you formed from tryouts together instead of bringing in guest players.. bad look

Beat NAL champs and WS champs in the same tournament.

Express will do ANYTHING to get the BIG W.

The 2025 board says that the 2025 Express brought some 2024 NJ Express to NLF

How would you rank the B teams on LI? I am not looking for nasty responses. I am sure all you parents who have kids on A teams will see your kids get full rides to Duke, Hopkins, etc in 4 years. I am sincerely interested in getting a sense of which clubs have solid B teams (decent coaching, decent players). Thank you in advance.

Igloo, Express, Moose, True Blue, LILC all decent B teams

yes express on age if you pull express north players on team to take account for older kids that can't play

The question parents dodge !! Keep paying more than inflation

I would agree with this list. Express is the only one I would be a little iffy about at that price tag . Igloo B has some great coaches. Moose is also very well coached. 91 B is a disaster. I think turtles also runs nice program.

Tigers lost twice….

Nobody else took the bait on this one yet? Dropping a bomb like this requires more details obviously...anything to add?

Listen this team has beat us 11-1 ten times in a row and not happy to report there parents are nice and there kids play good. Not as good as Sweetlax but they did finish third at national champ and almost won the world series. Wish we had this program in my area and my older and younger kids got their coaches.

I'll bite...details please. Which over-privileged, smug, Vineyard Vines loving, Cayenne driving, sandal wearing dad was it?

Probably Bradeyn and Tristan’s dad. Duh!

Wait a second. You got the wrong guy guy. I would never get into any fight with kids. You must be thinking of the guy who has tattoo, wears hoodies, drives a pickup, and drags a cooler of beer to tournaments.

I don’t believe this nonsense at all. Tigers parents are all respectful. There is no drunk and disorderly conduct happening within that parent group, let alone to a child.

LOL good try again with your fake news on this team. You know nothing and everyone knows who the pathetic poster is when they post on bordes. It is sad. Looks like someone cant make this top national team and is a little salty. Lots of summer left, hit the wall.

I feel bad for the hard working LI families. This is from a website of a Mid Atlantic program, all spelled out prior to tryouts.

Great and thanks for sharing...how'd that work out for you? Your coach is zero.

How was the turn out at Igloo tryout today?

What does it cost per year on LI ?

Serious question - if your son makes the World Series team is that included?

Black ops and monuments was extra just for WSYL, hawks was one of the 4 summer tourneys and was included from what I’ve heard. Things will be get interesting if they keep it in DC since more clubs will try to attend, Denver was a non starter for a lot of families. Most clubs in dc/md/va list tuition up front on their websites, not sure if that is the case in other areas.

No report of turnout at igloo tryouts?
Someone must have gone……..?

A drunk goomba express mom got more press then any of these games ever have. Tells you how irrelevant lacrosse is.

Decent turnout. Maybe 70 kids ? Anyone have any information on this team ? Coaches ?

Rebels only club that I have seen that lists tuition up front.

The prices are no secrets at this point. These are give or take a few hundred bucks

91 4K +
Express. 4K +
Igloo. Mid 3k
Legacy Mid 3k
Rebels. Upper 2k-3k

Most other B clubs are in the mid 2k to almost 3k

Express charges the same amount for the a, b and c team

91 charges 1k less for the b teams.

WSYL was the 5th tournament and we did not pay any additional fees. Matt Hogan picked up the tab

70+ and they were missing a lot of their existing players. Shore 2 Shore had a few, so did Legacy and Express (B and C). Most of the other teams represented as well.

Why were a lot of existing players not there?
