How about those Jets!! 0-2 just like Venom

You heard wrong. And the venom reclass kids are still playing 2028 unlike the Chucks kids who reclassed that are playing 2029.

Who cares they are still playing on venom. Bottom line is they don’t think they are good enough in the 2028 class. So they are repeating a grade to be a 2029. Bottom line is if you are a top tier player you don’t need to repeat a grade.

You are so dying to be part of 91 Venom but your kid is not good enough. The only enjoyment you have is trying to bash Venom and no one takes your comments seriously. Get a life!

To be honest, I think Venom is more focused on beating elite teams off LI to which they have done more successfully year over year. Yes venom wants to beat express, they want to beat everyone but it’s more satisfying to beat Leading Edge and BBL and WCS and Crabs and Ohio Elite and on and on.

There is only one reclass on Venom (goalie) and no one flies in from out of state. Several kids are 2010 birthdays, so that’s something to be proud of. Need to keep this whole thing in perspective. My kid has definitely improved being on Venom and the families are awesome, no drama and the coaches are even better! That’s the truth and I know this will get criticized but venom families don’t care because we are loving the ride!!

The 27 reclass goalie bumped the 28 goalie. Sad.

That doesn’t mean someone else can’t have a successful club that has on age Long Island only players. Offer to the marketplace something no other club does.

Wait I thought reclassing had no victims? Just giving your own kid opportunities? 28 goalie and his parents have every right to be pissed at that kid, his parents, Team 91 Directors and the Venom coaches. Each one of them could’ve stopped at some point but didn’t. They stole the on age goalie’s opportunity after all his hard work and dedication to the team. Despicable.

Club with only on-age LI players cannot compete nationally. That's why 91/Express bring in out of staters and holdbacks. The best on-age LI kids want to compete nationally, so they would rather play on team with out of staters and holdbacks than play on a team that goes 1-4 every weekend.

If you want the moral high ground of playing for LI only team with on age kids, go play for Legacy/Igloo/Shore/etc.

you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. I don't think its about moral high ground...but in what other sport do you hear about holdbacks and reclasses? It's absurd. My kid plays for one of the 3 teams you mentioned at the end. Watching his performance allows him to see how he plays against kids HIS AGE that he will play against in high school and college, not some 2027 whose mommy and daddy want him to look better than he is by having him play down against 28's. The kids are sick of it-they want to compete against fair competition, not the Leading Edge's of the world.

If that goalie and his parents are so bothered then why have they remained with the team?

Agree, 91 and Express isn’t for everyone. It’s for the top players, elite level, not your average player from Hicksville.

Reclassing is part of the picture and is here to stay. 91 venom goalies were aware of the reclass and the one who was cut is in a better place now, S2S. It’s a better fit in the long run.

Players and parents should always strive to compete against better players in games and practices. Bringing down reclasses from Machine and express 27 is unavoidable and should be welcomed. It makes your player better

There once was this guy Kobe Bryant, watch his doc on the Mentality he lived by, and see if your way of an equal on age playing field adds up.

Football (rampant), basketball (rampant), hockey (most rampant but done through a PG year or two or three), baseball (less common).

Have any of you crybabies heard about the college transfer portal? You can look it up. Your kid isn’t just competing against reclass kids who are a few months or maybe a year older, but also men who are two or even three years older and in college already.

Times have changed.

The Long Island 2026 91 Storm team has more out of state recruits than Long Island recruits as of today. Those kids were smart to reclass. It's the only way to compete with the athetes they are going to fly in.

2028 grade level has become a joke with all the K and 8th grade reclasses. 91, Express, Legacy, S2S reclassed are everywhere.

Anti holdback parents need to quit crying, it’s embarrassing. Have your kid hit the bounce back if you’re not reclassing him. Otherwise go away, you’re annoying.

What is a K reclass? lol.

But they don't. And almost every good NY player will reclass just like the 5 or 6 primetime 2025's who just reclassed to 26's.

Thanks 91 Director but this is the densest @ChillLaxin I have ever read. They are kids, reclassing is BS! These kids couldn’t hang on age so don’t talk about our kids should welcome playing up so other kids can play down!
