Waiting to see what teams are fielding a true 2025 team. Was leaning toward Millon because I like the more instructional approach and they play local. Heard they are not having a 2 nd grade team now so We may try out for Hurricanes, and Outlaws just to see the process and how he does.

Islip,massage qua, hauppage are all towns they may practice in

depends on coaches

Absolutely.Which it was easier to find out who they are before trying out.

91 was nice enough to email the 2025 coaches. 2 varsity coaches and a college coach already signed on. Was very impressed with their response and transparency. One of 3 teams to respond to my emails.

Care to share?

Do you have to make both tryouts? Some are the same day and would like to attend both?

Thanks.How long after tryouts do the decents (not the stud) kids know where they stand.Also for the ones that went thru it recently where did you end up and how is it? Thanks again,

When trying out for 91, have they been up front as to what team eack kid has made? Or do they just saythat they made a team.

Next question is travel schedule. Hoping to find a team that is going to play here on Long Island with maybe one Out of state tournament. Safe to assume at this age there won't be much travel?

What drills do they do during tryouts for the younger guys?

My experience is: Ground balls left/right...simple catch/throw/cradle left and right, catch and shoot on the run left and right. One on one ground balls to see how much fight they have in them. Just like they get at any good clinic.

The better ones have a good pace to them so they get the kids to stay focused, but at 2nd grade, even the good ones might shoot down a few airplanes with their sticks.

Depending on what they see from your kid, they might even coach him a little to see if he listens and picks things up on the fly.

They look at who is watching (good), who is walking (bad), which kids sit down (not good). You get the idea. At this stage the stick skills seem more important, but as they say, you can't coach height, so if your boy doesn't have skills, he better be big and fast.

I am taking my little guy to Legacys free clinic on the 19th as a warm up

Actually that is correct. Chamberlain, jaferis and Haugen are what they told me.
