I think their 2024 team was the first/oldest to be under the Legacy East name but it might have been the 2023s Legacy East used to be Twenty4 East - PM took over and joined Legacy to create Legacy East a few years ago. Same teams, just different name.

Same teams, just different name. 2 years old. But yea you are correct. The team is essentially 24 east. An average B team.

The hope is that you pay all of this money for the coaches to develop your kid to be as good a lacrosse player as they can be. I think the poster as well as many others would say that playing zone defense doesn’t help towards that goal.

Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #443744 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A It’s a total copout to go in a zone the way they do. As soon as their opponent breaks it, they play very poor man defense. That is terrible development of players going into high school. I’d be furious if my son played for that coach.

Once teams realize how to beat the zone, they’re toast. Can’t play man to man because they don’t know how. And if they tried, they’d lose by more.

The fool thing is that they have one of the best groups of poles in the country. It's not like they have a bunch of stiffs back there who aren't athletic enough to play man.

Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #443835 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Surge is terrible ..... They play in b-level tourneys .... Only competed in one tournament because they brought in venom kids. While other teams were short handed. Their F/O kid bounced to Express mid season ..... Any kid who plays there has realized there is no shot at playing D1 ball .....

Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #443851 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Surge coach cut many of his players. Players picked deserved to play. It was just a game nothing to cry over. Surge is an A team. Don’t be fooled there’s some very good talent on that team.

Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #443854 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Surge is going to be just fine. A lot of talent on that team. And the parents realized that it’s more important to be on the field playing rather than on the sidelines.

Both were AA tournaments along with The Gauntlet and NLF championships. To say they play in b level tournaments is just ignorant. Worry about your own team and their tournaments.

Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #443864 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Leave Surge alone, they have some really talented players who will be big prospects in a couple years. They also have great coaching. They will get better in two weeks.

Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #444101 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A BTB still a newer program but from what I hear people from people that are there, very happy with them. A few ages have some legit teams 28s and I think their younger teams 33 or 34. Some other ages are middle of pack but assume as they grow and develop they will keep adding talent. Some good buzz tho.
