It's like proving you are the best minor league team when everyone else is playing in the major leagues.


Every top club on LI was there and the top club in West Chester. And props top the Diamondbacks for coming. They were the only team to beat the best U13 team in the WORLD - The Express!!!!!! And they had no young 2021s on their roster. All 2022s and all 13 or younger.


Applause for teams that entered including those who went to qualifiers. Extensive travel and commitment it requires might not work for any given team, let's respect that. But good for local Long Island/Westchester teams to show up and bring it. I am sure teams like Laxachusetts and Crabs could field very talented clubs but they would've needed to send their "2023" teams this past week.


If that makes you feel better, you can think that. The truth is that the overall level of competition was weak because a ton of U13 top talent was stuck on 2022 teams that did not attend.


Because those team (2022 that did not attend) have a bunch of 14 year olds on the team.


DC to Boston, just show up next year.
