Tryouts are over, but there are some age groups that might need kids. I don't think they post the tourneys. The teams all stay together when they are out of town. Like Reply Quote

Re: Team Long Island Anonymous #7860 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A That would be the beginning of the end with team long island.. Why would they risk there program name to merge with 91? Doubtful gongas would charge the big $ that 91 does!

Re: Team Long Island Anonymous #7892 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I guess it's time for Team LI to start making a profit on the backs of the lacrosse community. 91 has done nothing but "swindle" people of their money. 2nd/3rd grade teams with parents paying $1300. Crazy. Buy a lax wall for $200 and have your kid practice. Like Reply Quote

We paid about $500 for the summer tournaments and winter indoor sessions last year. How many and what tourneys? The average tourney fees these days is about $1,500 per team with most teams doing 5 tourneys a year. Even with 22 kids on a team that's still roughly $70/player not including coaching fees. $70 x 5 = $350. An indoor league will be another $100-$150/player depending on the league and number of kids on a team (agian, no coaching fees). That alone is $450-$500! Add in coaches fees and expenses, uniforms, insurance, etc. Like Reply Quote

You can't think of it like the other organizations! No one is in it for the money! Whatever the costs are are divided up equally between the members of the team. The teams do fund raisers and that comes directly off the bottomline. The teams are competitive with the top teams! my son's team did way more practices than 10, probably 3 times that!

Re: Team Long Island Anonymous #8155 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A It was a scrimmage!!!! No refs, coaches on the field instructing(sometimes taking time out to explain) no penalties called, lots of rotations of lines. Both teams looked good. I had it 5-5 but who cares. These two teams can compete and they will just get better. Like Reply Quote

Re: Team Long Island Anonymous #8165 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A with all the negativity surrounding these club teams, here you have two competitive teams whose coaches see the value in a great scrimmage which was a teaching/learning experience for both teams and you're going to start the "my team is better than your team" nonsense?

Shame on you ...GROW UP! Please don't react to the nonsense on here. I guarantee the original comments about the score were not from a TLI parent. There are people (probably from another team) who just like to stir the pot. Do yourself a favor and don't get sucked into the BS! It was a positive experience for all who WERE THERE! leave it at that! Like Reply Quote

Scrimmages are organized practices where set plays and pieces are replayed during the match in order to allow the players to master (or learn) the technique. You might have been counting the numbers of times the ball found the Back the THE CAGE, but that does not mean you were keeping score of a game. Like Reply Quote
