Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #447653 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous I came across the NORTHEAST SELECT tryouts page on Instagram and noticed Igloo was not listed, only, MooseLax, S2S and Legacy. I wonder if the Igloo/Legacy merger goes through, and the Igloo name will be changed to Legacy West and Legacy East, like the Rebels…any thoughts??? Igloo is all over the Northeast stuff so no idea why you'd think that...

Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #447747 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A If your son is on a higher end Long Island club A team. Why bother with a 2nd team Select team or National team. What is the benefit? Seems like the current class of 2025s and 2026s didn’t need all two teams. If the only team your son is on is the Select or National, great…but more than one is way too much IMHO

Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #447752 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A It is a waste of time and money. Directors looking to grab money for essentially 2-3 tourneys they dont send there regular teams to. You are just giving them cash, and since they overload these rosters, most kids play minimal time. Not worth it.

Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #447755 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A It is for the parents not the kids

Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #447762 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A National teams feed parent egos so they can put a bumper sticker on their car and allows them to buy a new hat. National teams don’t develop kids, it’s an extra few well marketed tourneys and complete robbery by owners of programs. The parents that see the big picture and focus on training always come out on top in the long run. Parent egos feed into kids wanting this teams for the wrong reasons.

Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #447900 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A National teams got awesome highlight videos. You know, the kind that your 2031 son needs to have to get recruited. It’s such a good deal for the exposure! Hahaha what a joke - anyone that has their son play on. A national team must really love talking about lacrosse.

My kid stood around for long periods of times. Not enough coaches. It’s also one of the most expensive out there. Plenty of better options out there.

D training? Brazel does his own thing on the side for defense. He’s not cheap either but I highly recommend him for Long poles. Offensively I like what GLE does. Reasonably priced and lots of reps. All island sportsplex can be good depending on who is teaching. Sometimes they have random college kids and the classes are awful. Other times they have really good HS coaches there

Does your kid play or is he a water boy. He drinks way to much water at savage when standing around for so long. Looks like he finally lowered his prices cause attendance has plummeted. Instagram hype only lasts for so long.

I'd highly recommend him. Lots of reps and almost no standing around. My kid is very motivated and a hard worker though.

Re: Boys 2031-5th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #447978 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Lesbehonest - All Island is border line third world. They need new turf and the netting in there is hazardous, needs a ventilation upgrade as well It always smells like a locker room in there even at first light LOL. Agree on the coaches too - but it is priced well.

But his youth clinics were priced at 375 for 6 sessions. That’s extremely high. You can do training with 5 kids and a top trainer for less money per session. The session we attended had a ton of kids and there was a lot of standing around. Combine that with the fact he doesn’t offer single session options, we won’t be back.

Centre Island Sports in Ronkonkoma is the most disgusting turf facility I have ever been too. It should be shut down

We did his clinics in the past but never went back. Found trainer that connected better with kids and lacrosse IQ and drills were much better. There are plenty of guys who just take your money and do drills that you could do at home yourself. Ask around and you will find a great trainer for your kid.

And if you get paired with a couple of kids who refuse to pass the ball you get no touches at all. No thanks
