BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NEW JERSEY LACROSSE NEW JERSEY FORUM Top Boy's Club Teams in New Jersey

Not for nothing, shouldn’t those coaches have better things to do? Showing up to a different clubs tryout to see who shows up screams that you have no life. Come on man!!!!!! These kids are 13 and 14 years old!!!!!

Don't believe everything you hear on the interwebs. Think about it for a sec.. top players from LE??? free tution for them? have you seen them play? They are barely competitive. Think man.. think.

Truth

Exactly, don't believe everything you hear, unless it's said to you. That coach that was at the callbacks for LE, also trains (private) a lot of LE players

Other than hardships, this seems a bit suspect considering that these clubs survive off of tuition, its not like they can make it up on advertising and sponsorship deals. However, if things have gotten this desperate, I am glad that my son is on the older side of high school and past all of this nonsense.

I'm going to say this there aren't truths or non-truths there's somewhere in between and that's the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can 100% believe clubs are "hooking" players up. It has happened to my kids not on BBL though.

Wow! Your kids (how many?) were "hooked up"? They're that good huh. Must be nice saving tens of thousands in club fees. /s

Whoever on here got the scoop that Tyler Russell was out from BBL could not have been more wrong. Not only is he not leaving, looks like he got a promotion to oversee national program as well. BBL sent out email this afternoon.

That guy trains nobody. Let's be honest. It also doesn't make it less weird that he showed up to a competitor clubs tryout.

What coach was there? I agree and don’t believe bbl would do that. They have top ranked team through the older grades.

Top ranked teams through the older grades??... 2025s are only top 10 team. Teams are ranked pretty well, but lets not go overboard.

I knew that was false when I read that. Great job to TR

My man you have some reading comprehension issues!!!!!!!! How many kids??????? Bro stop jocking me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lax for the kids cost me approx $30k a year. Buddy money ain't a thing to me BUT and get this cause it's the crux of what I've been conveying, "it's about being on the right team and playing a style of lacrosse my kids will potentially play at the D1 level"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I thought the same thing when I read that email, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta take the interwebs with a grain of salt!! Thats the only thing I'm salty about, YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down with this ranking nonsense.

You're not taking these rankings seriously are you? if so, you need to get a life.

🤣😂 Salty 😂🤣

I like the rankings. Not everyone can do a TOC!

Does anyone know if LE invites went out yet?

Gotta say I'm very excited to see that BBL is going to have not only boys national teams but I just received the email that the girls will as well. This is especially important for my family as I have a son and daughter on BBL teams. Very exciting times to be apart of BBL. I know as with anything there is room for improvement but I'm sure glad my kids are on team BBL. Bright future my kids have on BBL and looking forward to growing with this club. AH is a man the with a plan and GREAT vision!

Keep drinking that Kool-Aid!

Can you say cult?

How much longer until Leading Edge throws in the towel. 2023s &24s just don’t have it. Maybe the 25s can bring them back to elite status?

Please explain Kool-Aid and cult remarks. BBL has a well rounded program. They provide lots of additional training via their Academy classes. They have box teams for both the boys and girls. Obviously the success at WSYL. But also have the girls entered in the NGLLs. Also they'll be fielding a team for the girls to compete for a chance to play in the inaugural girls WSYL. Multiple teams that vary both geographically and by skill. This is great for producing talent as it provides the opportunity for greener players to enter the program and hopefully work their way up to a more competitive team if that be their desire. All in all for my family having both a son and daughter in the program it's a great fit. I'm also of the belief BBL is the best LC in Jersey as far as a club that fields both boys and girls teams. Change my mind, honestly. I'm open to different points of view and an education if I can get one.

They are cooked. They simply cannot compete at a high level just take a look at NLF. None of BBL 24s they tried poaching are coming over. They may have to try actually developing their youth program to remain relevant. Who knew.

26 and 25s are good. 24s not so much .

Ok fair enough my kids are young still. I'll be paying attention to how things shake out. Sounds like 8th grade is the time to make the move to what would hopefully be the final destination for the duration of their HS careers.

The only team that is playing well this weekend is the TriState 2023 team. Maybe LE and BBL should stop focusing on each other and get you kid to the gym or wall.
None of you are elite!

Every club has some good and some not so good teams. Arguing on a forum, trying to act like your kids program is the best, is a never ending circle of nonsense.

LE has a really good 22 team. Tri state has a good 23 team. BBl has a good 24 team. BBL and LE have good 25 and 26 teams .

Everyone has some good and some bad. notIntelligent to argue all of this.

The fact of the matter is, NJ has a lot of talented players and they are pretty spread out across the couple different clubs.

LE 25 and 26 have done nothing, sounds like you have sons on those teams

And your kid is the Star

LE 2025 has a bunch of 2024s playing on it. So that explains a lot.

This is true. They are good for now with the 2024s playing but that won’t last long.

26 LE is not good. Lost to WCS Navy (B team) by 5 goals at NLF

A bunch? There are 2. Both with prep year intentions .

Intentions. Ha ha.

Busted.

Were there any college coaches at any even other than NLF this last weekend?

Mad Dog is on a social media campaign to keep their top players from moving to BBL Shore. Posting videos of their top players every day.
