BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2027-7th Grade Fall 2021/Summer 2022

Scorned Parents, BOTC should have a forum and offer therapy, it’s typically 95 % of parents with their 1st child playing. You should know that all coaches talk from other organizations, know your history because they did their homework, they run background checks on you lol. if you were a problem than you are a problem now. The 27 along with the 28 parents have a reputation of being the worst out there. The talent level at both age groups compared to past years is not even close.

Parents spend probably 5-10 times as much as their club tuition that they whine about a month. Some exceptions play on Machine and a few Express S2S.
To put in perspective Machine is no where near a 91 Crush, Smash, Bandits or Wolfpack, not even close. So if you aren’t on Machine and you think your kid is good and they don’t know about you or haven’t approached you, he isn’t.

If you team hop and run your gums to other parents bashing organizations you are a fool and everyone thinks your a fool.

Eclispe is from Fairfield county Connecticut. Darien New Canaan mostly, and surrounding areas.

Great points, good years 2024, 26, not as good 2023, 25 (except 91MD which is really 23 and 24), 27, 28

I enjoy reading all opinions but need some clarity on a few things.

What do you mean about parents pay 5-10 times as much as their club tuition? Do you mean in lessons?

Can you really tell all of that now? Many of the 27 kids(at least the legit aged ones) have not hit puberty yet.

Bandits, Smash and Crush at 10 years old would have smoked the majority of these teams

In lessons and yes just watch wsyl last year and watch 25’s and 26’s.
26 express would beat 25 91

That’s a bold statement

10 yr olds no .Stop just Stop . Fake news . Best team ever 2017 Grad. Yr Turtles.

PA is a pit stop between MD and LI. So
What? They beat Hawks, Madlax and Nationals, report back after they play the Rebels.

Smash was average. Until two years ago. They lost to town teams.

Rebels have 25 full time coaches and practice 9 days a week or so I’ve been told - legendary coaches and staff

That's what happens when team 91 gets upset like they did this past weekend, they go to the history books . Sad

91 is going to be a dinosaur soon. Down down down. The only organization I would like to go away. Not good people

Maybe Machine should bring in some different talent
then Massapequa PAL daddy friends lacrosse kids .
There is alot better talent players in the 2027 Dynamic umbrella teams and they know it .

If we were talking about Rebels Turtles Rush justifying competitiveness by losing to tournament champ by 1 i would get it. But legacy has higher expectations. But if talk like that or " we had a 2 goal lead till jesus himself stopped a few shots with 3 minutes to play makes you feel better have at it.

As well as there is scattered talent amongst other organizations that parents choose not to be involved with them.

Sad to see grown ppl pile on when a group of 12 year olds lose a game to a very talented team. Enjoy to game boys and maybe look into therapy about your feelings of inadequacy. Or just grow up.

After this seasons ego heads will realize is it really worth 5k plus a yr 1. My team didnt make the World Series 2. My team didnt win the world series . If people didn't smartened up what greedy Clubs did to people durning covid season and didnt budge on refunds Etc…. Then your a Clown 🤡. Have a great day

Did T.Z coach the 2027 legacy team this tournament ?

I agree with you , however, some context is needed . Team 91 parents/coaches and unfortunately the kids too have big mouths at games . They trash talk all game , it's disgusting . So unfortunately people are all too happy to watch then lose because they're not a civilized group of people and it's been going on for years . Very arrogant , trashy organization.

26 Express parent, here is some advice. Try and beat your own 2025 team first.
And Please
Stay off the Weeeeeeeed!

<aybe machine parents should stop pounding their chests on here about how great they think they and and they wouldn't get dumped on when they get beat down.

No question Machine is a talented, hardworking and well coached team. Not easy to be top dog and hold that spot for as long as Machine has. Congrats to them on their long run, Respect.

Congrats to Express for shattering the glass ceiling in an undisputed game.

Stage should be set for fair seeding at WSL Championship. It’s now any given Sunday for top teams.

The issue is that every 91 team holds themselves to the standard that Crush set. And there will never be a team like that again. And it’s okay to lose, no big deal.

I was there. Team PA was very well coached and have 1 outstanding player in which the team revolved around. Nationals struggled to field a full squad and many of their players were playing on their club teams this weekend. They had very little teamwork but that's to be expected based on the model. Hawks and Madlax are still very good local club teams and will win a lot of games against comparable teams.

Rebels are going to crush them now. No pun intended.

Legacy doesn’t even qualify!! Wow

Good question

That's fair (they do stink in a lot of ways) but to go down a level or two from there isnt right or helping ANYONE. Its probably amplified due to the anonymity but come on, we can do better!

Rebels Will blow by 91 The next couple years.
The Bus is Rolling down the Express way Looking for the Seaford Oyster Bay, so they can go Shore to Shore. Watch out or your legacy will get crushed.
Maybe move north into an Igloo

Fast Forward 2024
Express and Rebels by far best programs, rest will just try to survive, or they will be True Blue

Wow, your a poet and don’t know it! Every game will be won and you’ll have fun with 91!

91 Rage played terrible - #9 seed at the end. They "qualified". I bet if they were the 10 seed they still would've "qualified. Gotta keep those 91 parents happy.

In all fairness any team could have to taken that 9th spot and had a chance to do so . Had nothing to do with 91....but that being said the 9th seed is a joke. Shouldn't even be an option. .it's only an option because other regions don't have enough teams

Upset much lol you guys spend to much time on here bashing and what not turn it into something positive for once …

You son, ma’am, sir are the definition of a Bozo

Agreed ...I don't defend 91 as they are a disgusting organization, however why get all hung up on someone making the 9th seed? Seriously . Those kids are probably very happy to have made it . And they did what they had to do to make the 9th seed. Any other team also has the same opportunity. So find something else to bash, you're not making any sense .

I agree. The only I issue I had is that if you went 3-0 the first day and got a first round bye you automatically qualified. You should have to win at least one game the next day to qualify. In the end it didn’t make any difference but you shouldn’t receive an automatic bid based on first day. But if the the tourney was run the same way as last year rage would not have qualified

My sons team made it easily. 9th seed not needed. My question is I wonder if Rage was the 10th seed would they have qualified 10 teams? I say yes.

Rage should not accept. Sad part is watch draw, they will be given lollipop opponents. Then get beaten bad in playoffs. Lollipop tourney, gives easy schedule. Oh, I forgot 91 runs it. They should feel shane, go to box for 2 minutes. This just keeps bringing them down. They are too arrogant to realize, going to be great when they struggle to field teams. I do look forward to it.

I can’t wait to see USCL Rankings / WS Champions algorithm system after this weekend.
