My son is going into 7th grade and he would like to play for a club travel team this year. Last year he played on our town travel team that competed in both PAL, as well as a half dozen tournaments. He is going to play for the town team again this year, but would also like to try out for a club team. He is an average to slightly better than average player, so we are looking for a program where he will have a chance of making the team and also will get an opportunity to play.
I know my son does not have the skills yet to play for clubs like Team 91 and Express, but I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a solid club team with a good reputation in Suffolk County (preferably on the North Shore). Thanks!

Thanks! Legacy is a new club. Riptide is also a decent club that is based in Islip. There are many good clubs on the island, you just have to find the one that works for your child. True Blue is based in West Islip (I think) HDD is also a Suffolk based team I believe.

Riptide is Islip, as mentioned above. Havoc Dune Dawgs (HDD) is Dowling based, but I think they practice in a few different Suffolk locations. True Blue is from the Merrick area.

A lot of the programs listed on the right will have B,C teams where your son might fit.. Call some clubs, go to tryouts, depending on open positions you might find a fit..

Millon sounds like a good fit for your son, not sure where they are based out of. Havoc Dune Dawgs have many options.
My only advice is do not get caught up in the A B C thing. It is the coaching that will get your son better. As well, if he has a friend or two that always helps.

Most of the teams will play B division anyway, but there are a few B's that can compete at A level already. In most cases it just means there was enough talent at tryouts to have multiple teams, once your on a team at some of these organizations, you will continue as a team and progress to hopefully competing at the A level down the road. Coaching/good experiences is what you are looking for.

I was not aware that Express and 91 had multiple teams per grade. I'll look into that. Thanks everyone for all of the information!

If you located in eastern LI, Team LI offers a great program with both a7b teams. They are half the price of many of the others and the teams win many championships. They practice at Mt. Sinai HS. The try-out are coming up at the end of August.
