BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Oyster Bay Lacrosse League - Spring 2012

Did everyone have an off day? Korwins team? True Blue? McManus'sTeam? its F*!^king MARCH and these kids are 12/13 WHO cares LET THEM PLAY!!!!HAVE FUN!!! there are some really good players on all these teams that in years to come we all will be watching on Saturdays. PARENTS PLEASE sit back and ENJOY the ride and enjoy the snacks!!

Not possible- they are the Team to beat. Must have been missing key players.

Did they really lose to a town team? Just curoius because I think this North Shore town team is registered in the Shamrock and Syosset tournaments.

Not that a good town team cant beat a club team, just surprising to beat one of the "top" club teams.

Why are you so concerned about 91? Sounds like someone is very insecure.
It's become obvious that 91 has become the premier organization at the younger level, and in time, will overtake the Express at the older levels. Just think of all the great talent that have no plans on attending St Anthonys. They will finally have a choice of a top program other than Express.
Smart decision for 91 to not play OBLL. All MC does is schedule them against garbage teams. Would much rather have a practice than play an hour of garbage.
Look at all the fighting going on within your own organization. What a shame.
Accept it already. Express is becoming a has been!!!!!

North Shore has 2 town teams (Midshipman A team, Blackknights B Team), they are registered in Shamrock. Blacknights lost Saturday to fl$ and Midshipman 7th grade team lost to RVC 7/8 and Manhasset 8th teams on Saturday

12PM fl$ 2017 NS BLACK KNIGHTS 7
1PM LI EXPRESS 2017 MCMANUS NS MIDSHIPMEN 7
2PM MANHASSET 8 BARRETT NS MIDSHIPMEN 7

Was this schedule not correct? It was posted a few days ago.. Thought NS was playing express orange.

Looks like FLG17 beat NS Blk Knights - I think the NS MidShip 2017 team beat RVC 7th/8th

2021? really? what a colossal waste of time

That's funny stuff b/c there are 25 8 year old kids whose parents are shelling out $2,000+ for the spring season to say that their kids are on LI Express Orange (and btw....there is only one team and they took everyone who tried out ).

Close but not exactly...my son made the "orange" team and we dropped it...the cost will be well in excess of $2,000 for spring and summer. There were no tryouts just a few practices...they made an orange team and a blue team, blue had between 8-12 players, they combined teams and mostly orange team players left as they felt there were too many players on the team. This team is not elite when compared to 91 or igloo...this is evidenced by express losing at the havoc tournament to both teams by well over 10 goals in each game....granted that was early in the season. Express canceled their winter practice schedule and then after the humiliating defeats scrambled to put together a few practices. The coaches are nice guys and there are some good players on the team but this is an all-incluvie team (everyone who showed up made it). Still they at just 8 year olds so I am a little embarrassed even responding but since my son was on the team, I did want to set the record straight.

I see no problem with parents paying the money if they have it- to some it is a drop in the bucket. My kid does not play for this team or this organization- but seriously- who cares if their parents shell out the money- they know what they did and they want their kids to play- so let them play.

The beauty of this forum is the ability to discuss the positives and negatives of programs, teams , tournaments, leagues, etc....someone crapping on a team doesn't make them jealous that they can't afford it and the options aren't LI Express or PAL....think about it for $2,000 you could buy 40 1-hour private lessons with a D-1 coach....just saying. In as much as most programs cost the same after 4th grade, I doubt it's a bout the money and more about what you get for the money. And I am not sure parents all know what they get for the money, sometimes you don't know until after you commit.
