Who coaches the 2022 team? Any good or bad?

Jason Stadler from syosset. Great coach, my son played for igloo last year. Trying out this year. But for 91 smash we beat every LI team we faced. Stadler s great with the kids and a great coach. Jst my 2 cents.

Why are you not trying out for Igloo again?

Are you saying that Smash didn't beat Igloo?

Smash outplayed and out coached Igloo every time they played.

No doubt smash is a good team with a good coach but help me understand what "out coached every time they played" means in 9 year old lacrosse. I coach youth lacrosse and we practice then we play games, we try to do in the games what we practiced. That is about the extent of coaching a 3rd grade game. If you had left it as smash outplayed igloo every time they played I would probably agree. You somehow confused winning a game with one coach out coaching the other. So, safe to say you guys got out coached in Maryland when the diamondbacks beat you? Or all the other losses last year, despite often playing up? I don't think you were out coached, you simply got out played those games.

Lets not make this smash vs. Igloo. If you talk to the kids and the coaches from both organizations they would most likely tell you that they are respectful to each other and always play hard against each other. As parents let us all relax and understand the kids know each other and some are friends, and as parents sit back and watch and enjoy; don't judge, don't write information that isn't productive or that you don't understand. Both organizations are good, they offer good coaching, year around training and competition, and a family environment. Lets leave it at that instead of always taking shots. Just have fun, remember that is what its about.

If it is true that the GC boys are not returning to Igloo to stay in house as mentioned in an earlier post, how will that affect the makeup of the Igloo team next year. Didn't GC make up 50% of the team. Igloo will clearly have a whole new look next year and give a lot of other boys a chance to play for the #2 2022 team on LI. This doesn't happen very often. Also would be curious to see what the GC travel team will look like next year if it is made up of half of the Igloo team from this past year. There must be something in the water in that town. Amazing.

Dude , they were 3rd graders. There are probably just as many kids out there who can play the same. I watched them play and they are real good but like I said there is hundreds of kids playing now. Enough with the 9yr old prodigy. My son and a few of his friends didn't play club ,yet , and they are just as good if not better than any kid on that team. A lot of kids out there.

I hear that 2022 Igloo had 6 GC players that will not be returning because they are playing town select team. If that is true then theres probably 6-10 openings on Igloo 2022. This is pretty unique for such a good team and a good opportunity kids who cant make the 1-2 slots on Smash

91 Smash roster is posted.

Just curiosity have many kids tryout for igloo and smash teams?

Thanks. I thinks dbacks had 40+

A Smash dad here. Hopefully our boys get to play each other again. Best of luck to you.

Smash is clearly the #1 squad
Igloo is #2

I dont thin anyone is a close 3,4,5..

Igloo beat everyone NOT named Smash. Let your location dictate where your child plays. Why travel to Suffolk if you live on the North Shore or vice-versa?

absolutely correct. wouldnt travel unless it is for smash or igloo. smash is clearly the best team beating everyone convincingly. igloo is clearly the number 2 team on the island. also beating everyone convincingly with the exception of smash. all other teams, at least based on last year, are way below these two programs. but keep in mind, smash started playing together and competitively in 2nd grade. all the other teams were playing catch up last year.

From what I saw at the tryouts Team Long Island should be very good this year. A lot of talent there. There was a few smash kids at the try out. My kid did not make the white team which is their A team so where going back to the club he played with this past year.

yeah - but they are U10 team, which I don't have a problem with - everyone should just follow the USA guidelines. however, they are good. they added some nice pieces.

Team Long Island added 3 very good players to a strong team going to give Igloo a battle for 2nd and don't rule out Express who quitely added some depth to their strong core of 8, and 91 United. I would not be surprised to see it be a four pony race for the number 2 spot on the Island between Team LI, Igloo, 91 United and Express. I still believe from what I saw at the try outs that Smash is still sitting all alone at number 1. Good luck this season should be some fun games on Long Island at the 2022 level.
