There is a team being coached out of RVC

There is a team being coached out of RVC

There are 2 91 teams. This RVC team is not with them.

Looks like 91 is still changing the Titans they have add about 5 more numbers to the list. Hearing some of there better players from last year are looking elsewhere because of the lack of practices. Let see how it turns out in the long run.

Hi folks, 2024 Titan parent here watching a lot of the comments fly by on here which are all accurate in isolation. To add some more color around last year its important to understand the team from several different aspects. First, our parents and kids were all awesome. There were some tremendous athletes on our team with a nice blend of developing players. Having been around this travel gig for a while, couldn't have asked for a better group. Second, the tournament results should not be viewed as a valid barometer. There were hardly any 2nd grade teams in the tournaments, 3rd grade teams were showing up with long pole D that most of our kids had never played against, and opponents were sometimes a foot taller than our tallest kid. None of these are excuses, just the facts of what we faced last season. That being said, our Titans took it to their opponents and did not back down. Even one of the Wolfpack parents posted on here earlier that they had a rough go at it playing some 4th grade teams. As for the coaches, sometimes we need to take a step back and understand whats important in life. Steve and Jimmy treated every child with respect and continually injected positive reinforcement into their coaching styles. Could we have practiced more, sure but at the same time we had 1st and 2nd grade boys on a "B" team that don't need to be run out of the sport at this early an age. Each parent must do what is right for their child and the rest of us must respect that decision. Good luck to all no matter where you all land.

Not true

I agree totally! My son also played for the team, he learned a ton, scored a few goals, got knocked down a fair share, but came up smiling every time. These coaches did not treat them like babies but did protect them as they could and should. Maybe they could have practiced more, but then again, would B team kids have been ready for the workload in 2nd grade?
Parents were great and so were the kids. I wish that I hadn't yelled as much but will try to improve on that this year LOL. My son will be on an A team this year, so we are moving on, but if we were going to play on a B Team again, I would go right back to both of those men.

Nice self promote [lacrosse] bag.

My Fellow Wolfpack brethren,
The prodigal SON has arrived!!! He has successfuly navigated the Titans B team whom are still not ready for rigerous practice schedule as an A team such as ours. We will go forth in battle for the year to come and the SON will be ready with his cloake, dagger and long pole. Armed with his mothers constant yelling/screaming/babbling from the sideline, all teams will FALL to the almighty A team Wolfpack!
Brothers in arms,

We love her! And watch out for her kid. He is a

Did you buy her a velour sweatsuit to fit in with the rest of you moms on the sideline?

Hahaha! Nothing screams desperate than wanna-cougars in velour! News flash: you're too old lady!

Your son is not playing for wolfpack because he didn't make the team!

Typical 91 comment. Ask your coach

Here we go. Every year you get parents on here that blast other parents and kids about the teams that accepted or didn't accept them. Bottom line people if your kid was good enough to make the team, HE WOULD HAVE MADE IT!!. That has always been the way in competitive sports. Stop trying to justify it. You didn't have coaches calling your house 4 times(Lie). Its disgusting that you sit here and bash a team of 8 year olds who busted their [lacrosse] and made the team. I read these posts and now realize you are all jealous and angry that your child simply is not as good as you thought. So run off the your Legacys,Outlaws etc and hope they can hang with a better team. Plain and simple. BTW get off your [lacrosse] and have a catch with your son every once and a while. Pathetic

Three coaches?

hey typical 91 parent vicariously living through your kid, you seem like such an expert...did it ever cross your mind that maybe some of the kids on the wolfpack don't belong there and that they maybe made the team for reasons other than lacrosse? Family and Friends? You know what I mean but just can't admit it because maybe your kid is one of them. Ask around, every club has them...the wolfpack parents who's kid's are good, and deserve to be there, know exactly who you are, believe me. Also, btw they are 8 yrs old and one day your kid maybe on the outside looking in. Remember this post. One last thing, was that you dressed up in your Ward Melville 1988 Lax Uniform out on the front lawn? I bet it was...
