91 should buy the Rising Sons dinner for knocking off 91 spinoff Legacy and knocking Igloo out of the championship

91 should buy the Rising Sons dinner for knocking off 91 spinoff Legacy and knocking Igloo out of the championship

Why do people kerp insisting Igloo kids r "older " chances r the 2021 teams have "older" kids who where held back and would NOT qualify for U11. I never hear about the 2021 teams not allowing certain players to not play when they go out of state and play u11

I was implying Rising Sons had older kids. Very big. There's no way all those kids can be bigger than every other kid on the other teams.

milk cow hormones

They're Amish, they don't put hormones in their milk.

Thats the best you have, the Sons were older? Check their roster, there was 5 4th graders on it and the rest 5th. We will own the 2021 division this Summer. If thats the best you got on the Island? The Sons were missing 5 kids that are some of the top players in the philly area.

You are right that we are big, we are. However, our kids are all in the proper grade. We also play in a football league that is non weighted so we have 80lb 6th graders going up against 150lb linebackers and full backs. We know all about our size our kids play against each other every weekend in the fall. Some of my Dpoles have almost killed thier "lacrosse teammates" in football games. We look for big athletic kids and try and teach them how to play lax. Their starting to get it. Still gotta long way to go but we are on a good course.

Rising Sons are a brand new program that have had some early success. They will be competing in their first full summer this year. 3 teams, 2019, 2020 and 2021

It started this weekend...I know 2021 Express Wolverines beat 2021 91 Orange on Saturday.

Are there other travel teams near you or do you guys corner teh market ? WHat do they hot your for a season ?

That is a milestone for the Wolverines as they were not impressive watching them play ,and more so from the look of thing not well coached at all . 91 must have been missing players as they should have blown this team out.

The Wolverines are a solid A team and have gotten better since last year. There are 2 additional 2021 teams. I dont know what they call them but they are far from A teams.

Probably have your teams confused. The Wolves are solid. There is also two other Express teams at this age level.

When did they wolverines loose to a town team this year?

Solid A is a Bold Statement when they lose to town teams , That is not considered "solid A" with those inconsistences !
Don't kid yourself they are a solid B team .

Where does the Team 91 Stampede rank at this age? I know they are a 2021/2022 team but heard good things.

They are better then a B team by far. I dont think they where as good as Igloo or 91 but they where far better then say teh Outlaws, Jesters or True Blue. There is some confusion this year because one of the new teams is calling itself an A team. I would say the Wolverines last year where an A- . This year, too early

Where does the Checkmate Shark rank at this age?

My son plays for the Barracudas , please refresh us which town team we lost to because the only town teams we played were Manhasset and Northport with the A and they were far from a loss. There are two teams as everyone knows, the winter was shuffled around with the two teams and as far as I know and the team you are referring too which plays in the A has not lost a game at all over the winter, and that's including against the Icon A team which we know for a fact the Wolverines had lost to from the Icon parents. Lets not kid anyone winter means nothing , the competition level is tremendous and each week there is a new surprise so lets not jump to whos better just yet !

You really want someone's opinion on where a team ranks after reading the threads on this forum?
I am as crazy as the next person, but really the posts here about 10 yo lacrosse are insane.
If your son is playing lax at 10, clubs offer teams at every level for your player, which is a good thing. If he is on a team where it's all about winning and he runs one shift per half, move him to another team where he gets more time on the field. They learn lacrosse IQ more during games then practices. They need to be on the field.
Clubs find equal competition for every team at every level, some days go well, some don't but if your son is playing and wants to play, that's what it is all about.
There are some excellent teams at the 2021 age and competition is always spirited and I would never take anything away from these kids that perform at a very high level at 10. But everyone needs to check their ego at the door and just make sure your player is having fun and developing. It's a long road ahead to the D1 players everyone thinks they have at this young age.
This is just my opinion and I am sure I will get chastised in subsequent posts about how I know and understand nothing about what is and is not important. Face the facts, the kids enjoy running around the hotel with their teammates just as much if not more than the tournament to which we travel. Have fun, they are 10 and don't burn them out.
