Can we all agree reclassifying is an unfortunate fact, but the vast majority of players are age appropriate? Some clubs register their teams down an age group in tournaments for an advantage and there is nothing we as parents/coaches can do about (its up to the tournament directors to police). Finally, there are a lot of pretty darn talented teams in the North East US and we really don't need to bicker over which is best. Everyone needs to take a step back from the debating and simply enjoy watching the game played at such a high level.
VERY WELL PUT!
Our 2019's from Strong Island are all very good players and from the ones I know and have met, are very nice, well mannered young men. That combined with the fact that they have club teams, coaches, trainers at their disposal wanting each of the boys to get better makes for a great combination. Plus we have our parents, always willing to make it happen, paying for all of the additional expenses. Most importantly, the boys have a desire to be the best and the outstanding players are developing a Lax IQ, which is what makes a difference. All of these things combined is what elevates our 2019's to be the best players.
