How do you know they don’t play other sports

Kids should play more than one sport. That being said kids enjoy lacrosse, it’s fun and not a burn out sport. Kids that are athletic and put time in become the best players. It’s not for all but those that have the passion rise to the top. Some clubs have zero winter practices, some have fifty plus.

Would be interested to see how many practices-training-box sessions all clubs have.

Yup. Moose had a lot of practices and box sessions. It definitely turned out well for them.

At this age group it is a mixed bag. Some teams stay together all year and practice weekly with “team” practices replaced by skill sessions that are position specific. After fall wraps up, box or basketball (sometimes both) take over. Basketball is awesome for lacrosse development and the skills for footwork, offensives and defensive sets carry over. Box is a much different animal but also helps with quickness and physicality. In the dead of winter skills or box should be once a week and more if box games are thrown in. Anything more and the average 11 yr old will tune out. Spring practice begins in late jan or when the snow melts. Some clubs pay up for indoor space for team practice but those are normally the more pricey and selective team options.

Are there any tourneys/games going on during the holidays? I heard something about Florida but don't want to travel.

If you do not want to travel, why do you have your son signed up for TRAVEL lacrosse?

Ignorant comment. Most travel is some what local and does not require going to Florida. Travel/Club lacrosse does not mean you need to go to Florida...

Check tourney machine...there is something in freeport.

What are the best lax summer camps that don't conflict with tryouts.

Wow like 2 weeks without a Moose comment. One week without a Surge comment. Rebels coming up on that as well. Come on people - get your comments in.

2028/29 needs 1 more team for 12/27

Don’t you need a team to play in a tournament. Maybe you should ask your club first lol

Rush Adrenaline ranked top 15 with BTB. JOKE!!!!!!!!
Surge ranked in top 25. BIGGER JOKE!!!!!!!

Check out their websites

who cares? please find something else to worry about than 11 year old lacrosse rankings

Maryland lacrosse luge has a Christmas-them tourney I don't know if it has happened yet or not.

Happy Holidays and Happy New year. For 2022, lets try to keep this chat clear of 91 and Rebels bashing. Hahahaha!!!!

91 had a rough Sunday. Express had a rough Saturday and Sunday

Two very different things you’re comparing. Express is the actual express team. 91 national is a mix bag of kids from several regions.

Express CoachC looked baaaad. 91 needed more Venom kids i presume. Express North looked like they had about half their players and a bunch of guests.

Express had 2/3 team and 91 had 3 long Island kids. Hopefully they all had fun. Bring on the spring

Express N actually change their name to express N national they had so many guest players which is fine for a holiday week tourney.

What’s better than traveling to FL in the middle of a pandemic, during Omicron, with airline flights in disarray - to play in a worthless “national” tournament without your entire team (and with guest players).

Better than being home freezing your butt off. Hopefully the kids who went enjoyed themselves. Once again, these kids are 11/12 years old let them just be kids and play..

Playing lacrosse in Florida in January - agreed - it sounds pretty good.

Disagree. This is the normal “offseason” for lacrosse, what is the value of it? A couple of extra games in December? Aside from the time spent, money spent, stress from travel at the busiest time of year, and health risk taken on - so great your 11 yr old got a few extra games?

Florida was great, outside, pool, warm weather and my son played some lacrosse. Not bad if you ask me!

No one forced anyone to go. Lax, sun, pool and some time away sounds good. I am jealous.. Stay in your basement..

Express teams should have stayed home. Very poor showing against better competition from all over.

What a bunch of haters!! I’ve got 2 boys and a girl playing lax and if I said you guys wanna go down to FL this weekend to play a tournament, they’d have their gear at the door in 10 mins!!! Some kids REALLY like to play lacrosse, don’t detest.. that’s probably such a fun trip!! Even if they get beat the whole team can shake it off at the pool after and have fun.
and of course they play other sports, soccer and basketball.

In total agreement. How can Florida, extra reps and competition be a bad thing. The people that are complaining are probably the people that voted for Biden and anti-vaxers.

yes, if it works for your kid and family then you should go. why do people have to try to rain on others parades.

LOL!! I don’t think the people who voted for Biden are anti Vaxers. You got it backwards, let’s take a poll! How did you make it political anyways? Have a feeling you make everything political? Obvi who you voted for. The orange clown 🤡

Team 91 Venom goalie is def in top 10.

Sounds like Mom is back

Mom? Not even close. How about a lax Dad that knows the sport and knows what athletes look like. Unlike most of the Dads on this site that are frustrated athletes that never made it in high school and our trying to live their glory days through their sons. I am also talking about the legit Venom goalie that has been there since the beginning, not the new backup.

They are both legit. and both easily in the top10.
