said "torch" 3 times!! Must be dopey dad!!

if other teams were as dedicated and practiced as much as Crush; especially in 2019 I am sure they would beat them.

I look forward to Lax fest where hopefully some teams have some more playing time and give them a good run.

should be fun

Only top four teams are A because.....you said so ??

You are an idiot!

Folks are you serious? Express A is a good team but come spring they are gonna get walked and then you are all gonna say "Well we are still one of the better teams" and that will be a far cry. With that said this is just 5th Grade lacrosse so lets not get all worked up here but the team will be a good B this year with probably a better group next year and competing at a high level. Fall tournaments are meaningless and generally good reality checks and /or a wakeup for the kids. Come spring the coaches get worse (More worked up) and they don't let off the gas for any team. Good Luck to all.

When they torch torch torch that HDD 2019 team coached by Taylor maybe someone will take note. Aren't both teams U13? Maybe Spalina can get them to play prior to a lizards game to put some people in the stands. That's a game worth watching.

This crush team is so overhyped it's ridiculous. Yeah they are good, but you just gave an 11/12 year old a full time lax job preparing for games they never play in. Keep chasing that scholarship dream by team affiliation.

As for comparing the team to the turtles........who cares. 6th grade videos? Your nuts. They always roll to that footage on espnu when showing a college players development and bio.

I'll let me kid be a kid and find the passion on his own after finishing his homework.

Don't bring us into this. As a parent of a Taylor 2019 kid, I can honestly say, that team is legit. I've watched them practice several times. Each time I come away impressed. Just give credit where it's due!! When we play them it will be a good game. People, stop worrying about a team your son does not play on. Worry about your son getting better. That should be your only focus!!!

that's so weird, you don't want people to worry about teams their sons are not on yet you watch other teams practice many times......its crazy, I have 3 kids and find it difficult enough to get them all to school activities, sports practice I cant imaging having enough time or interest in watching another team practice.

That's exactly right, worry about your own kid.
You don't think the crush kids do homework and are ALL AP STUDENTS....hahaha. Jealousy is a powerful emotion

Don't those 2 teams share their stars? They used to. If so, you will never see them play each other.

That's right - Crush and Taylor won't play each other. If they do, whoever gets the 2 kids will win

Torch the Turtles ? You must be a Crush Dad or at least a 91 Dad. Turtles were very deep. Crush is not as much. Watching both teams play at their respective times I think the Turtles were better. I'm sure most would agree.

HDD are deep at all positions. Very physical and athletic. Even without the two "stars " as you call them , HDD would have no problem. How does Crush do vs 2019 Mule or Express Wolves ?

Don't agree! Not even close!

Agree its close. Turtles have better individual players. Crush has some but overall not as skilled but great as a team.

So is the delusion associated with living vicariously through your kids....

Would love to see Crush and HDD play, with those two players on Crush. HDD wouldn't just be "without" those two, they'd be playing against them. You're saying they'd have no problem? I can't stand Crush, so I'd like to see that, but I'm not sure if they'd have "no problem"

Crush beat Express 18-0 in the Dicks Championships. 18-0!

its Spallina, two LL's, their you have it

Look at you, talking about Division 1 lacrosse and espn when I'm talking about 6th grade lacrosse. You talk out both sides of your mouth. Why can't people just enjoy what they are doing at 6th grade? You are the idiot who is talking about ESPN and college bios.

Better individual players???? are you nuts? No competition!!

18-0 was vs 2020 Express. The poster was talking about Crush playing up vs 2019 teams. Calm down.

Actually its there not their...there!

They had to drive the message home once and for all!

Such a dope that is why their was italicized.

You need help !!!

JEALOUSY.....Ahh.the old living through you kids ...lol.... proves the point

Prediction: There will only be two or three kids from the original Crush team left by the time they are in 8th grade. Look at 91 Extreme... One original kid left, some no longer playing lax, some not playing any travel at all. You'll see, more is not always more. Enjoy the ride while it lasts... You can't drive little kids that hard that long.

Or more likely they will soon be called the Express Baracudas. Ha ha, its coming.

Said the jealous Express daddy. Truth is, what boy would leave a team giving them a free ticket to D1 college lax. This team will see very little movement similar to the Turtles.

Agree!! Turtles at same age were much more skilled individually. That plus to focus on academics will lead to more commits to top schools

Taylor could probably play without them and win. If you ever saw that team play, its a team with depth. Crush would probably get crushed without them bc they are the team and that's why this game will never happen.

WOW is pot legal in NY??? What are you smoking? You really think a D1 one ticket is already in the bag in 6th grade? Jealous? Not a chance, my kids committed already. It's called pitty, you freak. Free ticket? Average D1 lax money is about $8,000 bucks a year. Much more money for academics. You might want to start thinking about plan plan B. You have no idea the reality check your in for. By the way, the movement on Extreme wasn't by choice, kids were let go for new kids... Win at any cost. You know, that "91" loyalty. Good luck to your son. Go see a professional, you need help.

Son played against the Turtles and I coached against the Crush. Two very talented but different teams. While neither team would be considered big, the Turtles have a slight advantage on defense. The Crush do have one rather large attackman though. Don't think any of the Turtles attackman had that ability to bull dodge. The Turtles seem to rely on individual skill a little more and the Crush play more team offense and defense. If both teams were the same grade and the referees played it straight, I'd give the edge to the Turtles just based on physicality. It's also hard to say how the face off battle would go. Having said that I think the Crush are better coached and more of their players will probably go further in lacrosse. Time will tell. There is no doubt that both teams are very talented and to say definitively who would win is foolish. But it's fun to speculate.

So when is 2020 crush playing the 2019 HDD team?...Can it ever happen or are there kids that actually play for both teams. if so how pathetic is that. Let them play each other. What did both of these teams work it out amongst themselves to make sure they can't be in the same tournaments. I know it's two different age groups but are you being fair to the other 2020 crush kids or are you telling them they are good but not good enough to play without 2 or three kids because they are your superstars otherwise we are just a good 2020 team...

why would they play. play the kids in your age group and be quiet and get a life.

you are probably the same kind of knucklehead that will complain when your kid is in 8th or 9th grade about how unfair it is for others to hold back their kid, but now its ok for you to play up for your own kids advantage to play with stronger players. you are boring go away.

Go away [lacrosse].

Why is pathetic? You know you would love for it to be your kid who's playing on 2 of the best teams at their age group!!! And both of those teams are extremely deep in talent! It's just not 2 kids. Taylor and Spallina do a great job with those teams they get the most out of all those kids, and the kids respond, stop your crying!!!

Take it to another board that actually is associated with these teams.

Yes,
you are right their is only one original player from 4th grade but their are a lot of ex-extreme kids playing on other teams that are the stars of their team.
Not easy playing in SL system, each player has very limited role. Players move on to where they can develop more as a lacrosse player.
Do not believe young players benefit from a youth program that is run like a division one program. that's the way SL runs it and has been running the program like that since fourth grade
Some of his players will benefit the ones that have more of a role but a lot would be better off on a different team
But Parents are nuts they want to be on a winning team at all cost.
