NLF is the truth. Birddogs took 2nd at the National Championship last year. A few upgrades during tryout season and they are back in the hunt for THE Chip.

Deemer also proactively reaches out to top club teams and says nominate your top 5 players.

Based on another message board's numbers.

Best in Class: 168 of 175 girls from last year are committed
Juniors Open: 214 of 334 girls from last year are committed.

Assuming these numbers are directionally correct, then Deemer clearly know how to identify top talent.

You are correct. Rich people are ruining the sport. If their kids need to reclass now imagine if the game becomes more diverse, their kid could never compete.

You can see your position in leagueapps after you register.

Thank you for sharing your expertise with me. Your advice was spot on and has helped me navigate through my challenges more effectively. Your support means a lot

Once your daughter is accepted and you register/are rostered you can see the other players that have registered. Only the same position though.

I saw the IG post about the first waves of ua150 but has best in class posted anything yet? I know a few girls that have had offers, there just doesn’t appear to be a public list.

We had a meh national experience. Should have trusted our gut instinct. After lots of salesmanship from the director to try out, we realized very quickly at the first tourney that the team was just a money grab that slapped a "national" label on a PA/DE club team. Comparing scores against common opponents and development, our regular club team was much better than the national team we played for.

So for extra runs, I guess it was ok. For development, or winning, it was not good. And certainly not for the price tag they put on it. Most of which was mandatory gear purchase. So we got a few bad tourneys and a nice shiny gold helmet that we'll never wear again!

Top D1 program? You're talking to a few dozen kids a year. That covo likely doesnt apply to anyone posting here. The huge majority of kids are going to mid and bad D1 schools and D2s/D3s. Still quite the accomplishment. It's still really good lacrosse.

The good news to worried parents- your drinking buddies at the country club don't really know what they are talking about and have already missed the boat. Recruiting just ain't like it used to be, even 10 years ago.

Those Top D1 spots just ain't available like they used to be. The smart kids are the ones who take the recruiting spots they are offered at any level, and then hit the portal after getting some college film. It's now quite common for kids to transfer from low D1 and top 20 D3 schools to very good D1 programs. Happens a lot, in fact.

They sold to BPG who also own BL. BL has the talent in HS. Dukes has the talent in MS every year except 29s

It’s not. The Red Hots and Nationals LC are good for Instagram. They basically play rec level teams at most of the tournaments and have double digit wins. But hey, those behind the back passes and goals are great for Instagram.

Been going out since August.[/quote]

I’m sure there is a few around but most of the invites went out in August and not many since.[/quote]

Where is everyone finding the numbers on BIC? Is it published somewhere?[/quote]
The numbers aren’t public. Once your daughter is registered you can view her position roster in Leagueapps.

Springfield gotta be the team to beat this year, no?
Radnor and Lasalle loaded again but graduated too many studs

Sounds like poster above is correct. You wouldn’t hesitate to do it again, but what about your son? Did he get better at lacrosse or did you pay for him to have friends? Have a look at 90 % of the scores from all age group's and tell me how that’s good lacrosse.

You must be new here…

In my opinion, regional/national teams are a head scratcher. Look at the 2026 teams that are committing to college now, half are from out state anyway. And all those kids are on ONE club team, I would venture to guess. These national/regional teams are sold as “super teams”…and none of them would ever beat the top Express and 91 teams by time the HS years come. Just find a team from a reputable club that has dedicated coaches, and all will be well. And make sure there is time to play other sports. Your son is not missing out of anything in the lax world. Long Island by playing on 2nd team. It is already so saturated in club that the next revenue stream is creating national and regional teams because clubs can’t expand further east anymore. Remember this is a business. And the key measure of success amongst the clubs, again, in my opinion, is wins vs losses and college commitments. Go on each club page and look at each clubs commitment list and see who develops the best talent.

Only the best of the best are taken.

Gotta say bracket will be lit, Radnor taking it home with La sallies going 2 Marple 3 Dtown East 4 Springfield 5 change my mind.

Correct. The good players play up a class or two, not down against younger kids.

My 27 has had a ton of looks already, because I've been playing him up as a 26 and he's been dominating all these reclassed underperformers.

My older son has played a “national team” and had a great experience. We didn’t take it too seriously, he met some great kids from other regions and we had a good time with the parents. Yes, there was a cost to it but overall the experience itself was actually pretty good. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

That’s because newyork isn’t like Maryland we don’t start our kids in kindergarten at ten years old!

I love these MD dads coming to this board trying to taunt LI dads.

These boys are 11. Calm down.

Look at the top freshman commits to the top ten D1 schools. I think you will see most are holdbacks at some point!? Extra year or two of development does give those guys an edge. Especially starting in middle school or younger as a holdback. It’s an elitist sport
And favors those that can play the extra year(s) of development card! They get recruited and the college coaches could care less about it and just want to win!

I don’t like it, but it is facts in this sport. Others too, like hockey. Biggest problem for me is it’s not fair to those who can’t afford to play by those rules and get extra years! It favors the deep pockets and it gives those kids extra advantages in the sport. Life is a different story! We are talking about recruiting and playing lacrosse at a top D1 program.
