![]() ![]() Them when they enter B Tournaments they win and get blasted for beating inferior teams. They are going to get blasted for playing in A tournaments and losing. They are not a true A team but they are better than most of the B teams. I said it last week, they are in a tough spot. This weekend's performance answers the question of why you would put your "A" team in a "B" team tournament the week before. Guess the A/B combo experiment isnt working out as planned (whatever that plan wa$). How could they possible have time AND continue to perform where it ultimately matter most, IN THE CLASSROOM. The three sport athlete is becoming rare yet travel clubs will tell you they love well rounded athletes. Town and rec teams used to fill the gap for players want a little more than school ball. Now the programs have everyone convinced that if they haven't bought into the year round training they'll be at a disadvantage. ![]() It wasn't too long ago that the upper tier of players only played travel year round. The price escalation for travel lacrosse is totally out of control. While I tend to agree with your statement about the parents I believe it's also the proliferation of A and B teams and overzealous owners. Your useless screaming, sideline interventions and after-game critiques are doing nothing for them. Let the kids play, develop and enjoy the game. It's the parents that turn it into the circus. The kids get it ( maybe a few dont but blame that on those around them). But it sure makes for funny banter on this board.Įveryone should watch the kids on all these teams and follow their lead. If your getting nothing out of practices or your kid is not on the field than A / B doesn't matter. The end game should be practice & playing time. If there is a good player out there, they will find him. But just my opinion, but worth a good discussion.Ī and B is overrated. I guess saturation of the market sorta broke things maybe. B teams used be very hard to make and were all good, now it’s year to year and lotsa of turnover. But somehow the talent on the B level gets dispersed over several teams and on A teams it forms up. Hypothetically If the top players from Igloo B, Legrush, 91, Rebels and Express formed a team, wouldn’t that be an A team? I think so. How come it never works out that the top players from B teams never end up on a single team. Regulators will be a top team this summer. Think Icon was winless this weekend and they have a good team just not enough Icon does it with some 91 kids when they don’t have a tournament and the results show. Take a good A player at a key position and play him on the B squad and team will be that much better. This actually hurts the A team as kids are there all day on standby with 2 teams These players “moonlight” in B because they are not getting runs with the A squad in games. Hope is those parents will see over the practices where there kid belongs and understand he will be better off. Issue was they had to put some new kids that tried out on the A or they would have went to rebels or s2s. Their focus is to get better with practice. S2S has some really good kids, added some kids that didn’t want to play on what they thought was a b team (igloo,legacy,91). 4 Leaf, 3D AA, Regulators and Rebels Chrome top teams at Tourney ![]()
