This is the most inane argument! If you want a chance to call yourself National Champion, then show up at the US Lacrosse U15 tournament. If not, just sit down and shut up.
really, really simple - most of the best teams don't attend. Period.
Better stated, a couple teams that could compete don't. Short list.
Even better stated a couple teams that you would think could compete don't go because many are age ineligible. Again have not heard one person come on here and state which tournament has all the best teams from across the country go. Amazing that so many want to put down a US lacrosse run tournament that is actually trying to crown a national champ on an equal playing field.
US lacrosse is the governing body that we all follow. They make the rules and guidelines. Most all the other tournament are run under the US Lacrosse blanket, and this is the pinnacle tournament. They select and sponsor the the U19 national team and the team USA senior national team. This is the tournament that decides the club national U15 champions, there is no debate. If your club chooses not to be a part of it, too bad for you. And no, its not a recruiting event, its not meant to be, believe me the girls from the winning team really don't need the extra exposure to get recruited anyway.
