[quote=Youthlaxman]All the kids on crabs 2020 can go to Denver
Being able to go to Denver and being a legitimate 2020 (born after 05/01/2001 - for this tournament) are not the same thing. I have seen these kids close up, no way they are 13/14.
Yea right, they are 15 -16 year olds. No wait, they only paly like their 15-16 year olds. Get a grip. Appreciate good players and good lax and move on.
Well, look at it this way...statistically, how many 13 year olds are 6' tall or more, probably not many, right. Given that, how could they have 4-5 of them in one group of 20?
There are usually one or two at each middle school that play lacrosse. Pull from several middle schools and it wouldn't be hard at all. My son's 2020 team doesn't have any holdbacks and it has several kids that are 5'10 or taller.
Not sure what middle school you are looking at but there are no 6 footers in our middle school much less 6 footers in 7th grade that play lacrosse. Maybe if they are holdbacks but even then the likelihood of all of the tall kids being able to play at an elite level it is a long shot. Crabs prides itself on holdbacks and encourages it -no judgment but let's not deny it either. Several of their 2020s tower over their coaches who are not small men.
