Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #391939 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Go to the team with the best coaching. Most important by far.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #391945 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A If your son has fun playing then go to the place they’ll get the most reps. The elite clubs will help them improve the most but if the technical skill isn’t there yet (or they’re not an elite athlete) then playing for a B team to get those skills is great as long as the LaxDad ego can stomach it. The kids that continue to put in the work will make the elite clubs in time. It happens every year.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Anonymous #392393 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Igloo, Bethesda and Duke’s Elite looked a level above the rest; is that what you saw at Hershey as well?! Impressive talent level for 32s!

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Anonymous #393584 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A What is so great about the Rebels program? I’ve seen them at tournaments. don’t they own blatant and stack the tournaments for their teams? Seems like a business looking to grow with no real interest in player development. Also I’m pretty sure the igloo team this age didn’t lose a game in Long Island this year so wouldn’t that be the top team?

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #393690 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Like last year with 31, Igloo was top team in fall, the Rebels went 3-0 vs them in Summer. Same will happen with 32's. Rebels have the best structure, coaches, staff, and own indoor facility. Rebels are not for all, only those that want to practice/Train over 100 times throughout year, want to have 3-4 coaches, and be the top program in so many ways. PS over 35 teams just on Island now

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #393732 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Nlf has become a joke, they would be privileged to have Rebels as a member. Not sure they would even join, might have something else, which will be better in the works.

I love that the Rebels directors alway comment on the forum . Or did they hire someone to ? Just because you practice 1000 times doesn’t mean you have a great club . It just means you get value for your money. Lots of training and good value for your money seems like a win to me, especially at this age! Your tune will change. To many teams to focus on . You will see

Hired 5-6 high school coaches to help Run east. Up to 20 full time employees, that’s how you expand and become the premier club on island.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #394922 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A True Blue a decent mid level B club, works if your on the south shore Nassau county and looking for local practices. If your son is serious about lacrosse, much better options even at the B team level. At the older ages, their best teams consistently lose to B teams.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #395603 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Are these basically the clubs with viable 2032 teams? Igloo x 2 Rebels x 5 91 x 2 Legacy Shore2Shore x 2 Rebels East Express East Legacy East Express Empire (did the program fold?) Tenacious Turtles True Blue (did the program fold?) If so, seems like a lot of options for boys that are interested in playing.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #395842 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A There is no “top team” at this grade level. The cream always seems rise to the…Big clubs. People are this level seem to just follow what other PAL parents do. But they start going to tourneys and learn the landscape. Eventually all the top talent from these teams move on seemingly.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #398143 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Some close games between Igloo, Rebels and Legacy this weekend. Don’t know much about Express and 91 at this age, assuming will be solid as usual. A handful of evenly matched teams will make for a lot of good competition for the boys. Good luck to all the 2032 teams.

Re: Boys 2032-3rd Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Team BOTC #398454 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A 91 very solid team, rebels played them this weekend beat them 9-1 and then 6-5 in championship, fool how games can fluctuate at this age. Rebels good ball movement in game, 91 had 1 or 2 really big mids that could run through 4 or 5 at times. Should be fun with igloo, 91, Rebels, and Legacy solid out of gate. 2 way tied 91, but lost to rebels by a lot.
