35+ man roster

You mean team$

Ha. Yes, that’s what I meant.

Shout out to igloo lax. They worked with me on an issue we had and Tony Alexander after some time worked with me thru a difficult situation.

They do Counseling?

Again Tony! All the threads getting this pitch. Told you if you and your family are in need of money, There is a strong social support network run by Fed and State gov. They can give you the support you need for food and shelter

Parents are sucker$

I’m so confused how year after year so many parents get taken by the sales pitch of the same organizations. So what your child is on the roster of what will probably will be a good team of 8th graders. If your not in the top percentile ( be real about your kids ability) then your just a check that supports everyone else . It’s just sad parents keep falling for the nonsense. It’s a game ,it’s about your child getting better your main concern should be coaching, training and time on the field. For those that got @ChillLaxin in good luck hopefully you have learned the hard lesson ( but probably not I’m sure it’s about you and bragging rights at parties)and get smart and make an adjustment before the year ends so your kid has a real chance on a team that they aren’t just a number and feeding the beast. Long Island has so many options for travel lax wake up!

You’e not confused. Most everyone else is. The line you put in about “be real about your kids ability” is the number one driver of this. The far majority of parents are not realistic about it. Kids hanging on the back ends of rosters at 91 or Express would likely be better suited playing elsewhere. Most parents won’t admit that though, because any day now their little guy is gonna get his chance and show everyone. Unfortunately, that day rarely if ever comes.

Too long not reading that

It's not just Express and 91....Rebels Black has 32 kids on roster.....dense
