May as well change name to "Flurry" full time. The B team Parents must be happy as they have those "New" uniforms with a design from 5 years ago. Their kids will look good watching the other kids from the old "Northface" play. And to be honest, if they play a decent B team there is a good shot they lose because thats what they really are, A B team, regardless of what their name is. The have 1 kid. Lock that kid off and they cant score.

By next year there will rarely be A and B brackets. Just tournaments.

It looks like Igloo begged the directors to put them up against weak teams, although how would you like to travel from Florida and find out you're playing against ringers. Making Igloo great again.

I am one of the B team parents. Regardless of what your motivation is for trashing a program which you have no connection, my son plays for Igloo because he likes the program, and the training. He also doesn’t view this as anything more than just playing lacrosse. He’ll be fine in life and get into a top school on grades alone.

I hope your kid is the same, and is motivated beyond this nonsense. because he’s certainly not getting much from you all as a role model. Keep it up angry guys and enjoy your 3 games tomorrow, it goes fast.

HOW MANY MINUTES A GAME DOES THE B PLAYERS GET?

Does your son play ?

I do not think it's "Angry Guys" I believe it's 1 angry guy, either his kid was cut from igloo or his kid gets no play time. He obviously has an axe to grind with the organization. No rationale adult would spend this much time trashing an organization that they have nothing to do with.

This topic is getting a lot of attention...Do all of the kids play? And when I say play, I mean meaningful minutes? Or do B players pay A "tuition" and get in with 1 minute left and up by 7 goals... I have no skin in the game but if B kids are watching kids playing on both teams, thats not cool.... But again, not my problem, luckily

Yes he plays, equally. Not getting into how many minutes because it doesn’t matter. It’s about quality of time and improvement, both of which he is happy with.

Or maybe just maybe it's the half of the team that left because one of the directors is a despicable human being and not held accountable.

If it’s people who are gone. Then move on you are gone. If it’s someone who is still there, do yourself a favor and leave.

No biggie here. Just enter vs the correct competition and should be of concern. The issue is If the same roster plays tomorrow as two weeks back than that’s a waste.

Who cares!!!!

I know most people focus on the A teams only. Who are the best B teams now at this age? I know hornets have been good. Not sure if igloo B is really A.

Legrush White
Express
Rebels
91

In that order

Rebels hawks are top B team. Beat express 2 times and 91 today. Only thing is they are not a B team, much better and closer to A. Rebels again do it right. The sky's the limit for this club.

I think Legacy B is probably top right now (but they have top kids playing when they play so who knows)

Then
Rebels Hawks
Express Davis
91 Hornets

Sounds like the same rebel cheerleader on every grade board. Yawn

They beat express once by a goal in a scrimmage. Never in a tourney. But they improved a lot and they have offensive player that is a big difference maker. And we know how this goes with B teams… an A team will come along and take him.

They never beat express in a tourney and once in a scrimmage. The team is better, can’t wait for the highlights on Instagram.

Legacy has two B teams and no A team.

Rebels Chrome lost to Regulators for the 100th time yesterday. In typical fashion they were yelling at the refs the entire game. I dont Think the sky is the limit. I think the B bracket probably is.

4th time so all time record now 4-4. Two very good teams

4-4? You wish.

We played Igloo. The parents were very nice people they did say that a lot of kids play for both A and B teams. Although we lost the game was close, end of the day and freezing so most people just wanted to leave. I could see people having a real problem with this. My son did say that the goalie and FOGO are the starters for A team. Why are they in a B division with half A kids? They must not be very good as a A team.

They don’t have enough for a B team and the Hornets look like they have 30+ on that sideline. I suspect that is a tough for the players, coach and parents.

How does Igloo not have enough for B team? There must have been over 25 players. They also lost to a Florida team. Don't know anything about them , was Florida an A team? Overall it was a well run tournament of mostly competitive B teams.

Rebels Chrome is an embarassment. A few thoughts:

They got shelled again. Same plays that dont work, same kids playing out of position or never leaving the field(unless they are ejected) and same lousy coaching.

The Regulators OWN the Rebels Chrome, not the loud mouth coach/director on the sidelines.

I bet their "B" team could beat their A team but we will never know.....

Rebels hawks is most improved. The issue there is they are hard to judge right now as played really soft competition all Fall (Minus a depleted Express team in a scrimmage and an inconsistent 91 team this weekend). Igloo B: Are they a B? An A? An A/B? A type O negative? What about Turtles? They seem pretty good.

Kudos for a solid post.

4-4? What lifetime? Rebs won once, 3 years ago...May have even been Regs 1st game ever. Stop dreaming and figure out how to right the ship.

Whats the deal with Express? They had like 4 kids on the sidelines? Small roster? Hurt kids? Big turnover?

It’s fall ball, let’s not read too much into it. Most teams missing a lot of kids. Rebels missing 5-6 important pieces football/injury. Still should perform better, but makes a big difference.

Legacy or Igloo could dominate the B bracket but they will do so by bringing in a "floating roster" of their A players. Based on what I've seen so far this fall I would say the Turtles, Rebels Red Hawks and S2S Hawks are the best B teams right now. Things could change in the spring.

Agree on most with Rebels. They do only play in AA brackets and that will not change. Beat express north 2 weeks ago. Regulators are good club but kinda have a revolving door of players. Some clubs go in and out of tourneys by match ups. They(Rebels) also scrimmage shock pretty regularly. This is not a excuse just fact. Top mid, attackman hurt. Also 2 starting Def no shows. That’s no excuse, next man up. Team has talent. At this age it’s not on coaching. Offensive coach is a lacrosse Rat, and runs a good system. Old man little crazy, and defensive guy excellent. Fall is over, do not look back always look forward. Rebels like all have next 6 months to get it right.

They havent gotten it right in 3 years...Why would they change now? You can run every play for 1 kid. And you cant field the same group of kids that dont produce while others sit and watch. Well actually, you can....but everyone sees the results..

Hope your enjoying that power house S2S you went to

Nice try. Wrong person your referring too.

Whats wrong with S2S? Does anyone have anything good to say about any of these teams?
