Like it or Not its play to win!
Your money $ spent means nothing over ratings , its a bizz and unfortunately Most of you parents think by paying tuition to play travel your son is entitled to get equal playtime or any if that. The better on a team will play more , the bottom 10 or 12 will be lucky they get to take a sip from a water bottle during a competitive situation. Parents are really clueless when it comes to this. You shall see this from the start , if your son regresses during the season its not the organizations fault for this matter , Not saying its right but this has and always will be the way in sports competition youth and HS / College

This what you are missing. Long Island's lax rules were not handed down with the 10 commandments. Outside of NY no one cares about your cutoff dates. What you don't get is when you apply the L.I. Rules to DOBs and "what grade" a kid should be in outside of NY you act as if the rest of the country should genuflect. We don't.


Your simpleton argument makes no sense. So all kids from Maryland were too old for WSYL? Kids are born 14 years old in MD? I'm sure a team could have been put together for this event, maybe nobody thought it was worthwhile, after all there are plenty of high quality tournaments in Maryland, that's why all the LI players will spend the rest of the summer on the Jersey TPK, as soon as fly back from Colorado where they play each other!


The real truth is that the teams were stacked and made for the World series. Neither 91 or the real 2021 Greyhound team would have gotten as far if they didn't put players from Crush and Taz on the team. The 7th graders from both teams barely got any points and the older kids seemed to dominate. I watched the World Series and everyone DIDN'T play. No rules were broken, but would the outcome have been the same if they took the REAL teams that play for that year? Igloo used the same team that they have played with all year, they did not add members and create a new team they used the people they had. I'm not saying that Igloo has older kids on the team, all I'm saying is that a team was not created to play in the World Series. Congratulations to the winners, no matter what anyone says Zummo can truly spot talent and created a team that had some truly gifted players.
