Parents, bickering over who has the best 8th grade team is pathetic. Pathetic yes but for those of us who aren't trying to live through our kids and aren't lunatics it's VERY entertaining! Entertaining? Entertaining like a train wreck? So if its "entertaining", "pathetic" and a TRAIN WRECK than why do you and all the others (on your high horses) read opinions and feelings on here? why come to the board? people come on here to get information regarding lacrosse. Information and opinions are one thing, reading nasty comments, opinions & boasting from adults regarding children is just that...Pathetic.

not same team as last year lost a few players to gladiators team 91 and true blue I have a son that plays on a 4th grade team, which is why i am curious. Does TrueBlue have a 4th grade team. A friend told me they won some tournament called the Irish Skirmish, when I looked it up I saw they won a 3rd/4th grade bracket and I didnt recongize any of the competition (no LI teams). I know TrueBlue has a 3rd grade team I assume that is the team that won that tournament as a 4th grade LI Club team wouldnt play in some offbeat 3/4 grade tournament, right? If TrueBlue does have a 4th grade team, has anyone played them or seen them at a game or tournament? I heard they were a good organization but havent heard anything about this team.

I believe that TB team is a 4th grade team. They won the 3/4 A bracket. Viper 3/4th grade (also a LI team) won the 3/4 B bracket. I believe a TB team (not sure if they were 7th or 8th grade) lost in the 7/8 A championship. Viper 7/8th grade team lost in the 7/8 B championship. Overall a good showing for what I think were the only two LI teams at the tourney. Most of the teams were from NJ and PA.

The True Blue 4th grade Team is a very good 4th grade Team you should get a game with them and find out for yourself instead of bashing a team you know nothing about and as far as the 8th grade Team goes they lost to Buck Select 5-4 in the finals which a team from outside of Philly very good

My son's team played a 4th grade True Blue team at the Shamrock Shootout. So yes, TB does have a 4th grade team.

It is again Thursday & still no schedule. Is there anyone who has access to a schedule?
Many of us have more than one kid playing in this league, along with town games, along with our other children's commitments, along with a list of outside commitments. I got it that no preliminary league schedule, but why can't we get one by the beginning of the week?

What's with this league.....double headers in March, 30 degree weather, then come April, we play inside, then come May the season is over with another bye. Would love to know what the entrance fee for this league is. IT SUCKS.....I miss the day's of PAL and knowing when my son was playing weeks ahead of time.
Most overated league I have ever been involved in.

This isn't a league, its a place for clube teams to get in a few games before the tourn season starts. Teams came enter into the league mid way, ask to play 2 or 3 games or the entire season. Calling it a league is a major overstatement. Its a bunch of guys who have the Town of Oyster Bay wrapped around their fingure to use the field and charge $2000 per teams to play the same team 2 or 3 times in running time games. PAL is what it is but at least it is way more organized

It's very surprising that Long Island doesn't have an actual spring outdoor lax league. A league where you know what other teams are in your age group and you get a schedule at least 2 weeks in advance.
It would be a cash cow if a league like this was started and standing were kept on the league website.

If you are in Nassau, that PAL league seems to be run really well. However, if you are unfortunate enough to be in Suffolk, your SOL. The Suffolk PAL lacrosse league is not quite as organized as Nassau, and unfortunately the President is not a very nice person and really has no interset in expanding and improving the program.

Many people come on here and complain about OBLL, I beleive the real complaint should be with your coach. As a coach of a team in the OBLL I can tell you that the Director of OBLL asked us which dates and times we wanted to play and has accomodated us. Every week the schedule comes on Tuesday or Wednesday and the Director allows the coaches to adjust the schedule before it is finalized. I believe the issue is most likely that your coach requested certain dates, times etc. and that has reuslted in some no-game weeks, some double headers and playing the same teams 2-3 times in order to accomodate your coach.

Division 1 in the Nassau PAL provides excellent competition in 5th and 6th grades. You get 9 games against the "A" teams of towns like Garden City,Manhasset, Massapequa, Cold Spring Harbor, West Islip, 3 Village etc.

That was better than how they handle it now. Don't know why it stopped for sure. But I've heard it's because people don't re-check and then if there game was changed they go to the wrong place at the wrong time. Then they cry...

I have to agree with the positive comments about the OBLL. This is our first time playing in it and we were asked whether we wanted double headers, which dates we wanted to play, what times were more convenient for us. Every request has been accomodated, including match ups. I am fine playing the same teams 2x, as long as they are close games. This league is all about getting 10 games in before the tournament season starts. The problem is with your coach or organization.

My son's team played a 4th grade True Blue team at the Shamrock Shootout. So yes, TB does have a 4th grade team. TB 4th grade didn't have a great showing at the Shamrock - i was there and two for their losses where blow outs. The skirmish tourn was mostly made up of B level or town clubs in the travel bracket, this same team went and won a few games.

Thanks for the update, I will start to hammer my coaches program. As it has been a disapointing experience in my opinion. These travel/club teams are a rip off, I should start one soon.
