BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2017 Fall 2013/Summer 2014

You have to love this 2017 forum. A new thread is started for the up coming year and we haven't missed a beat.

What is it about this age group? At least last year we didn't start up with these posts until after tryouts...

91 had 6 D1 in the 2016 group and is on track for the same this year.

So the problem with your team was the defense? Hmmmm. Im sure their current "defenders" feel GREAT if they read your bonehead post. Worry about your own kid dummy. You speak like you know every player/parent lacrosse desires its really annoying and problem inaccurate.

True Blue definitely has penty of D-1 potentials, problem is Most D1 coaches won't put up with selfish, and undiscipled behavior....

Spoken like a true Daddy of an attackman or middie, where there obviously wasn't any need to upgrade. What's the purpose of the tryouts anyway if "Channy" is already recruiting and building the team himself?

Agree.

My kid is part of this class of 2017. Youth lacrosse is over. Our kids are off to high school in a few weeks, I am sure we expect them to function as individuals on their own to feet and also act as young adults. Maybe we should do the same.

This is over, just let it go.

Aren't any Turtle dads going to chime in and claim rights to the Super Team ?

I heard Channy was recruiting defense to replace one of kids who left plus a couple more who were supposedly leaving for 91.

If this is true that some players are being "recruited" then it proves the argument that the whole open tryout process is a pre-determined money grab chirade or put another way a "Chammy".

I don't think it is a charade in total, They are looking to improve the team. The basic problem with this organization is that money drives everything. 100 tryout fee is ridiculous.

How is the Jesters A Team 2017? Also is there going to be an A and B team this year or just one team?

There will be as many teams as they have enough kids to fill. More teams means more money for the director. This summer the 2017 A team was good but not a top 10 team on LI in the age group and was closer to a strong B team than a legitimate A team. They had a lot of kids turn down the invitation for the team after a very good turnout at last year's tryouts.

Wow, totally inaccurate post! First off, the 2017 Jesters Black team was a very competitive A team this past summer. We're they in the top tier? No, but they were definitely right there with fl$, Outlaws, etc. Your assertion that several kids turned down the team after tryouts is completely false. Please have some sort of clue before you start spewing nonsense!

This is the pre tryout smack talk . I enjoy the various points if view. Really looking forward to the season ahead. I also heard that Channy is building a super team with best of Ferps and Turtles

I personally know 4 kids that turned down spots on the 2017 Jesters A team including my own son! 4 that I know of and I will assume that there were a few more!

oh....if your son "turned down" the team they couldnt possibly be an "A" team! I am certain your 14 year old sets the bar for all of LI!

Are Tenacious Turtles still going to be a team this year? Also how much does Express cost to be on? What are the top teams of 2017 in Long Island to tryout for?

Anybody going to Nat 175

Actually did not know there was a fall Blue Chip, unless you mean the one over the winter in FL.

My son did get an invitation last year but we saved our pennies and didnt send him (3d). Will try again this year as the camps are becoming more relevant.

He was also accepted to National 175 and I will be sending him. This will be his first "Showcase" so its nice to go to something local and give him the experience to build on.

Opinions - is it wiser to have your son be the 5th or 6th attackman on a very well known team or even the stud of the "b" team of said organization or move on to a lesser known organizations "a" team and be the focus. Considering a move and would like some feedback.

I would say go to the situation where they give a crap about your kid and hes gonna get quality coaching and a chance to compete. You might also want to consider where he wants to go, I know its a crazy idea but if the kid isnt happy whats the point.

There is a Jake Reed Fall Showcase, see below. And according to his twitter site, invites have started to go out. I think Philly Showcase and Nat'l 175 are better Fall showcases than Jake Reed, but Maverick, Jake Reed and Black Card are the best individual showcases in the summer.


From website: Jake Reed Fall Nike Blue Chip

Dates: November 23-24, 2013

Location: Mecklenburg County Sportsplex, 1505 Tank Town Road, Matthews, NC 28105

Eligible Players: Current Freshman (2017 grads) current Sophomores (2016 grads) current Juniors (2015 grads) and current Seniors (2014 grads)

Anybody in 2017 age group get the invite already per above for Jake Reed Nike Blue Chip Fall event on November 23-24, 2013?

Just my opinion.
Kids need to be on the field getting touches in game situations. I would place my son on a team that provided him that opportunity.
Practicing with better kids is all well and good, they need on field experience at this age.
Don't let your ego of A v B get in the way of your player being on the field.

Yes still thinking about going or not though
