Rest of us don’t know so enlighten us.

Guys I think we found a reclass dad.

So how many teams was Legrush able to form?

And what about the rest of their team?

BTB is a good team but nowhere near the top of anyone’s list. Lost their best players to Venom and Express North. No one they picked up will help their losses.

Sorry you can’t afford an extra of private school. Enjoy D3

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Sorry your kid isn’t good enough to stand out playing on age.

Everyone they added was equal or better than those they lost. They were beating Venom 2-1 for the majority of the game at the gauntlet without those guys ...... I am sure they will be fine.

There it is. The passive jab. So predictable.

BTB not in the same sentence as Venom. Games can be close but there is always clear separation even if not reflected on the daddy scoreboard. BTB is fine, they are a decent second tier team, but nothing more. Know your role, stay in your lane.

Venom is so good that half the team is reclassing.

Venom have any kids left that they actually developed? How about Express? Very few is the answer! They don’t develop talent they acquire it so stop acting like Venom is so great. The salesmen there are good.

Awwwww ..... Did reality hit for someone's Dad or maybe some daddy coach? Last I checked Venom hasn't won anything recently and all the parents do is complain about the reclasses on the other teams while 1/2 their team reclasses. Don't worry ---- The guys from Florida/Texas/Mid-west coming soon to bail out the Long Island Kids who couldn't cut it .......

Hmmmmm ..... Didn't Venom lose 2X to express chucks last season? Express #1 on the Island and the team to beat next year!!!!

That seems to be what happens at this age. Rather just be good than do that. If you break your back and get your son to every practice and show up to everything and some random player comes in and plays - then I blame you for putting your son that position. And no, it won’t change, don’t convince yourself of that.

Pack it in boys you are “nothing more”

True but express keeps losing top AA talent and replacing with A talent

Who have they lost?

Is that a joke?

Express is def number 2. Performance in top tournaments was poor.

Hmmmmm Didn't Venom lose to primetime last fall? Venom nothing more than an A-Level team with those coaches - they're at the same level as Legacy, S2S, BTB, ...... Truth Hurts

Time to call out of state players

Lefty attack

Seriously

STAT

Plus a middie and a toxic parent

Let’s not get carried away

Red Legrush got their schedule. Anyone else?

Imagine putting this much effort into judging 13/14 year old lax when half the teams haven’t even hit puberty. Get a life! None of this will actually determine where or if your kids get a spot on a college level team no matter the division and if they get there will they play?! Focus on developing good students and people, that’s what will pay their bills at the end of the day.

This post screams lost. What about White or Dune Dawgs? did they get their schedules?

They fall under “anyone else”

Why did Legacy and Rush combine 2028’s?

Good question. Because Rush is on the verge of extinction, so they gave Legacy money and joined forces

Why are you surprised we have been focusing on club lax since 2nd grade and there have been comments like yours they are only 7-8,10-11 now 14-15. You will have to stop logging on to read. Don’t expect things to change

This question is for all of the experts out there....

Given reclasses, out of state fly-ins (express) and kids switching teams, can we get a fair ranking of who we think the top teams are? I'm not sold on the Legacy/Rush nonsense. The legacy coaching is so bad, they can't get out of their own way. I'll give my opinions based on what I've read here.

Venom (consistently the best team regardless if Express has beaten them once in a while)
Express Black (is there an orange this year)
S2S
Legacy/Rush
Igloo
BTB

missing anyone in AA? And I do feel there is a dropoff after Express, but curious to hear what everyone thinks.

I'd put Surge up there, but after a few left for Venom,Chucks, and Shore, they need help on offense. If they can pick up a couple of kids, I think they should be good too.

The above is very close:

Venom
Express

Massive Gap……

Igloo
S2S
LegRush

Small Gap….

Surge
BTB
Turtles

Venom coaches on here realizing their team isn't that great. There isn't any massive gap between any of those teams ..... Might as well take Surge and Turtles out of the Convo ......

Turtles???

LegRush has 2 teams - red and white
