Yes Coppermine has a couple of really talented girls that can score at will but the entire team is talented so to discount any is unfair. Same goes for all the top teams like M&D, Hero’s, Crush, SW, etc. Clearly the family had other reasons and we should wish them well because after all it’s just a 13 or 14 year old girl. No need to bash the kid, her family or the club. May not have been the best fit for her. It will happen to other players and clubs.

Wish the kid well for sure. The parents are cray cray and will be the issue. It won’t be her last stop !

#21 - FCA
#47 - HOCO
#49 - Predators
#55 - MADLAX DMV
#57 - Baltimore Swarm
#60 - VLC
#64 - Hawks Black
#72 - Team 91 MD

I guess you have to play in 6 games to be ranked so no True Baltimore, Crabs, LTLC

Other than Fusion Futures PA everyone currently in the top 10 complied with the new age verification rules. That will change once the 2nd tournament of the circuit gets recorded.

Why do you say that about Futures?
They have to recruit for the World Series because they have at least 2 kids who are holdbacks. One of the kids played for Brotherly Love 2028 and was 13 in April of this year (My kid knows some of the boys on the team).

What does second circus event have to do with anything? All national teams, correct?

Futures is a sister to the nationals team, same director for the 2 clubs. Some are on age, some are not. Like every other team out there, just deal with it or start calling out the players during the game. Hopefully you upset their parents and create some in person sideline drama.

Not sure if that's right. I thought they all were "on age" for NLF purposes (June 1 cut off). Now that may not mean they can do the World Series which has a Sept 1 cut off.


Not all teams play NLF.

Futures also pulls kids from other clubs as guest players. It’s more of a regional/national team than a local club.

They sold about 2 years ago? I'm sure the founders contracts are coming to an end shortly. Website isn't getting updated. Teams will diminish and they'll just be a tournament/event organization within a few years.

Thanks for the fantasy. It’s not real, your East Meadow Jets not making playoffs. Sorry mom


Power League is 100% real. Teams will re-rank for ABCD playoffs; East Meadow could make a run after playing a schedule that actually makes sense for them and any other team in their shoes. Solid for lacrosse....imagine football did the same?

Check out blaxeight. Schedules starting to be downloaded and it's clear there will be a power conference and you can see who's in it. Look, East Meadow may not make the playoff or they may make it and lose big to a top team in the first round but they will now play a regular season against similar teams. The only people who might be anti-power conference are those of strong team who like beating up on weaker teams 20-0. Otherwise it's a home run.

Yes, every team wants to play a brutal schedule week in and week out. Just look at the NCAA, exactly what they do. Georgia never plays weaker opponents in football. Thanks for your insight, just an FYI, little league baseball is the farthest athletic accomplishment you ever had. Go Jets!

What a hammerhead. Advocating for half the games against teams that don't have real programs so you can win by 20 and puff your chest at the water cooler rather than competitive games throughout. And relax with the "brutal schedule", these kids are in high school they will be fine. I don't see the logic in your little league baseball comment when I am advocating for good competition throughout and you are advocating for playing against teams that have weak programs. I think what you are saying is it's better to play weak competition throughout the season so little Johnny is "fresh" for the postseason. Honestly, that's pathetic. Glad the coaches of the top programs have come around to my "little league baseball" thinking rather than your "big time college" way of doing things.

I agree the coach is the weak link at Gilman. He comm skills to parents are laughable. If lax is reason to pick a school then BL would be answer. But academics at BL are middle of road

I don’t think it’s considered poaching at this stage.

Call it what you want, but a school taking a committed kid is poaching to me.

That is poaching but there are still several uncommitted kids available to watch.
