BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Oyster Bay Lacrosse League - Spring League Registration

Wow, this is an interesting feed. My observation after reading is that they very well may be a true 2019 team, just not be according to age. Parents living through their children tend to leave them back. Not for academic reasons, but so that they will be the big boy on the field. Impressive.

Most likely close to 2 years younger, but why even bother counting.
I ask again, why do you knowingly play down against younger smaller kids? How does your team get better doing this?
Have you ever tried playing on age? Perhaps you should schedule a few games against those scary 2018 teams from LI. You know, the one's the Crabs need 15 and 16 year olds to beat. They are the same age and size as your kids. I think we all know the answer to that question...

Unfortunately, you can skim every age group in this forum and see the same argument. UNTIL, US Lacrosse steps in and demands a card issued with a picture, verified by a birth certificate, and withold insurance for any event, this will continue to happen. There are plenty of other youth sport governing bodies who establish and enforce the rules. US Lacrosse is failing the sport and its membership. Why are we members if they don't support the membership?

After reading a bunch of threads on this site I have concluded one thing for sure......there are a lot of kids named Johnny that play lacrosse.

this horse is beaten to death already. can't wait for this weeks schedule to come out so that this discussion will finally be behind us for everyone on this thread that is not a Rising Son or Crush parent.

We have all read your sides to the story. the game is over. neither of your teams had to take this game but you both decided too. You both knew what you were getting. For us "merely average parents" can we have the thread back now?

Jesters 2021 won 12-3

Jesters 2021 v Igloo 2022?

Jesters 2021 beat Igloo 2022 by 3. Good game.

Jesters pretty much played man down the entire game - should of been 12-3 I guess. Hd 10 or more penalties on defense going up much smaller kids. shouldn't be playing younger teams, not help to either team,

yeah I hate that term too !

It may help Jesters gain some confidence.

Funny interpretation. Igloo 2022 has played up all winter and has never been accused of causing a defense to have penalties. Anyway if that's what makes you feel good about a tight game with younger kids, good luck. Or maybe the defense should practice more.

The Jesters defense had a lot of penelties when I saw them play in a recent game agaist a 2021 team.

It was a sloppy defensive game but not a tight game. Is what it is.

Wow a Jester parent claims they could not blow out a younger team because the Jesters defense took too many penelties. Nice. I see it in a different way. The younger Igloo team was passing and running around the Jester defense and the only way to stop about 5 more sure goals was to take a penalty for each. Igloo could have had 5 more goals if not for those penalties!!! Get over it and don't blame your own defense for those goals!!! It ia a team sport.

Shouldn't be playing younger teams??? No one signed up to play younger teams. Who writes schedules ?? Who plays up all the time?? Is what it is. They lost. They got a lot of penalties. Move on!

Jesters 2021 vs. 91 Smash 2022 this Saturday.

I was at the 91 Crush game at St Anthony's this weekend. It was a nice sunny day. BUT....the 91 parents who were screaming nearly in a play by play style need to look at a video of themselves. Embarrassing. You all can't seem to get how ridiculous you sound when you verbally hammer a 6th grader on the field. For your kids sanity and confidence....stop.

People love to exaggerate and end up keeping this team, you all seem to either hate or envy, in the spotlight- talk about free advertisement for 91. I was there too, after another game as well, and the parents were not going crazy on their kids- lighten up. There are crazy parents on every team. There are passionate parents on every field. Can we move on from this one crush game- there are many other teams and kids that played this past week end too. New week end, new games.

Kids can't hear you anyway. And if you dissect the game on the way home and highlight all things why they lost, even sadder.

Awesome dude, thanks so much for letting everyone know. I may not be able to get to the game. Do you think it will be on ESPNU?

[size:14pt][/size]I thought HHH Dukes was the best PA team? We played them with our 2020 Terps missing 3 top players and beat them 11-3. With our top players we beat them like 20-2. Maybe the Rising Sons should play HHH.

Nice to see the Honey Badgers stepping out for their spring debut.

U guys r [lacrosse]..igloo 2022 lost to jesters 2021..it is what it is..When a taller defender poke checks a smaller attacker..they get poked in the facemask...give me a break...u lost..maybe next time...and yes those jester defenders are physical..lol..

No doubt igloo 2022 lost to an older jesters team in a close game. To suggest that jesters trains their kids to poke check at exactly 4' 3" and can't adjust up or down is silly. Physical? No. Just bad defense. Many teams play up and never before has a parent been so stupid as to suggest that the older team can't defend the younger team because of height. You are a moron. Enjoy the win, real meaningful game. Let's see how you guys do in the tournaments, I assume you play in the B division again this year so chances are you will see igloo 2022 again.

Are you the moron.. the taller older v younger small and the d pole getting penaltie has always been a factor.. even before this site was up and running.

This is not new

Not a Jester or Igloo parent but have seen both teams play. Jesters defense is bad. No other way to put it. The team can score and they have a good goalie but the defense runs around, has limited stick skills and get beat one on one. Once beat they take bad penelties. The Jesters are a B team that plays in the A bracket. They will learn soon that they are a B team. Igloo 2022 is a solid team. If they play the Jesters 10 times I think Igloo would win 6 of them. A win by 3 goals does not place the Jesters in a higher bracket then Igloo. If these Jester parents think the Jesters are far better then 2022 Igloo just because they won a game by 3 goals it shows they are joke. Read this thread above. Jesters first reported the score as 12-3. Seems you can't believe anything a Jester says!!!

True, the age old discussion, how does the 10 year old long pole guard the the 9 year old attackman. We have no solution our 10 year olds poke high and the 9 year old are low and we lose. This dilemma has plagued us from even before the days of BOTC. What a loser you are.

Love the d pole talk at 9/10 years old and love the spelling of "penaltie" funny stuff. Unknowingly (big word, don't embarrass yourself, look it up) you give jesters a bad name when you think you are defending them. Put the Budweiser down and sleep it off.

Hey Jack Arse, it doesn't just apply to 9/10. It happens at 12 and 13... 13/14 some smart coaches even use it as a strategy. Put little petey at attack and watch the flags fly. Big johnny cant seem to defend but can help but push down on the smaller boy.

Igloo defenders don't use a long pole in 4th grade. Gives all teams an advantage against igloo and they still play solid defense. I never thought I would be on here posting for igloo but reading these Jester parent post makes me laugh and want to respond because the Jesters are not very good. I don't see any post telling us how they did against the top 5 2021 teams that they have played. Should we post a couple of those scores???? Funny stuff.

Jesters 2021 played in "B" brackets last year, they won a couple of "B" championships and contended in others. If this was your sons team what would they do? Stay in "B" and continue on the same path, or try and compete in "A" and take some lumps? They are a "B+" team and not claiming much more.

There are morons on this forum on both sides of every argument, to call a bunch of 5th grade boys a "joke" may leave something to be desired.

I have my own kids or friends playing on every team, there is good and bad in each, including the parents. I have three children playing; 2021, high school and college. Relax a bit with the "joke" assessment, many of these kids in all of 2021will not even be playing by the time JV comes around let alone college.

Read the post again please. I think it means parents are a joke not the kids.

Badgers looked great.

Badgers are a LI Expeess team? Is there a 91 team at that age also? Which is the better team?

91 has the warriors, but the honey badgers are the better team.

Jesters are a second class organization at best. let these animals talk

Actually 91 has the Bandits, who is probably the best team at 2023.

So LI express is again the top team. Years ago they had the top teams then it seemed 91 dominated, I guess it's bsck to li express
