Are those brackets based on level of competition? Venom in 2nd bracket and Express in the 4th? All seem to be pretty good teams.

It appears NAL went off of last years final club ranking when making these brackets.

First timer, go easy on him!

-Stop. If your kid was playing Varsity Lacrosse as an 8'th grader, you either need to move districts or think about private school.

wow

Venom has beaten top teams outside of Long Island. Express has not, hence why they are in the D bracket.

You obviously have no grip on reality, why can’t a kid want to play for their school where they live?? You are what’s wrong with lacrosse!!!

Express plays every player unlike Venom. Venom Plays one goalie 4def and don't change attack.

Now we're talking about a,b,c and d brackets within the AAs - u people are insane. Just let your kid play and shut up.

This has to be a legrush parent post hammering away on the “banged up” lol
You telling me on that 30 man roster of studs the remaining studs couldn’t pull it off??? Cmon man
So now the other kids on the roster know where they stand I guess

Congrats to Leading Edge beating Futures at NAL. I wonder if Futures were missing their student regrade at middie or left attack.

Why are you here

Legrush has a ridiculously easy schedule. Don't they know they are the super team!

Both teams probably have more true 28’s than 29’s so maybe he felt it was more appropriate to put here?

To brag

This

lol
Ok but put it on the Maryland page

All the 29s dads that post reclassed their boys. 29LI forum dried up.

some takeaways from Delaware Sunday...

Express was gritty-had some close games that they pulled out. 54 is a beast on offense.

Didn't catch too much of Venom, but from what I saw, they looked very good. ball moving quickly, aggressive on attack. Not sure how they ended up, but again, didn't see too much.

S2S looked pretty good. Competition was on the lower end, probably could've played up a bracket. Little sloppy at times, but overall was pleasantly surprised. 26 on D is very good. Goalie was very good, too.

@ChillLaxin, year after year". Assuming they chronically underperform.

Igloo was a mess. Can't score, poor body language from kids on the field.

curious to know what everyone else saw/thought.

Ok S2S parent

the chronically underperform and SOS year after year was LegRush

what were the records or those teams?

Quick take:
Express: 3-0, 54 IS very good.

Venom: Very good team. Lets see how it changes due to holdbacks next yr.

S2S: 26 is a holdback so he should be good. He’s just one of a few on the team.

Igloo: No offense over the weekend, not sure what’s wrong there. Maybe it’s just early in the season?

LegRush 2-1. Lost to Mesa who went 3-0, pretty good team. They should be fine.

Igloo- Kids don’t seem to know or like each other. Poor showing but it’s fall.

LegRush-why are the parents so angry but stay? Had good talent but not such a good showing.

Venom-looked pretty good to me. Could use some more size on offense they don’t want any contact. Thought they had a good showing. Look pretty good to me. Played the majority of the sideline.

Express-looked pretty good as well. Very physical. Some new recruits seem to do well in the last win over Dukes. They have ballers everywhere.

S2S- needs more offense in the harder games. 2nd goalie needs work.

All in all thought it was decent for all these new teams trying to gel.

Everyone went 2-1 except Express 3-0 it’s fall so everyone relax.

Tell us 54 is your son without telling us he’s your son! He is very good though!
