BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) New to LI travel lax Looking For Advice

This topic is about li lax looking for advice enough with the coach thx

over exaggerating? worry about lacrosse? how about worry about the safety of your children and make sure they have adults who are good role models.

I will worry about the safety of my kids over lacrosse EVERY day.

I guess you are the dad who wants to be cool and lets his kid have a beer at a family function.

Sounds like your son should stay at home and play Fortnite . If your worried so much about safety, you're in the wrong sport! Relax a little, It's the weekend, and almost time for a beer!

What do they say "apple doesn't fall too far from the tree." Just my opinion, I feel a youth coach should not be drinking in front of the kids, let alone with the parents. I don't see the benefit of this.

If you have dad’s who have teaching and HS experience I think that is the best. Since their kids are on the team they put in more than many paid coaches would be willing to do. Having one recent grad is great because they relate to the boys and the boys also look up to them. But the recent grads for the most part aren’t organized enough to run a team.

Baseball and golf good option I can be a nasty sport not sure if your ready or will u be the crazy parent that knows nothing screaming at the poor ref , u will !!

Beats being the parent that can barely form a sentence. I'd rather be wrong than be an stunad. I can learn from being wrong. You'll never learn anything by being an stunad.

Stay away from rebels. They have dad coaches that only look out for their own kids. Especially A little guy with a big mouth. He coaches the 2025 team

Move off LI would be my advice.

Advice #1 whatever someone tells you on BOTC, do the opposite
They really don’t know anything but surely act like they do.

A bit of an oxymoron there. If you take the advice it goes against the advice. What to do?
Def reclass your kid!

If you see a parent from Yellow Jackets with a cast on his leg he’s a boob. Oh, the cast is probably gone. 🤔. Oh well you’ll figure it out, he knows everything about lacrosse. Him and the other YJ 2025 parents will school you.

This Janelli stuff never gets old 🥾

Recon is a great option for the price point. Some good teams and core values.

Forget lacrosse and buy your kid a dirt bike!

Ask the following questions of the program? Cost? How many coaches and experience? How many players per position do they keep on the roster? How many tournaments and how many are off the Island?

What I liked to hear. (At least two coaches, preferably one that had some experience, the other being a young kid who the kids can have fun with). (Each Roster should have no more then (2 Goalies, 5 Attack and Defense and 8-9 middies)/you want playing time.
Most tournaments can be played on the Island... but get at least two off the Island. It's a great time to bond with your son.

Don't worry about the SWAG !
