I get a kick out of reading these posts. Here are 2 things. 1. Size matters to an extent. 2 kids. 1 is "small" and 1 is "big" smaller kid is slightly better. Club will pick the bigger kid. Because a coach can improve a kids skill, but not his size. So yes, 1st thing coaches look at before a kid gets on the field is his size. 2. There are only 2 catagories of teams. A and B. That's it's. While like every sport some A teams are better than others. While Taz and WP stand out as the top 2. There are about 20 A teams on LI. Even if a team plays in a B bracket. They could be an A team. Remember that this is 11 year old lax. These kids want to compete but they also want to have fun. Getting your [lacrosse] kicked every week just to play the better A teams is not fun. If your entering good tournaments on a regular basis it's ok to play in the B bracket. That does not make a team a B team. Sorry pack daddies and Taddies.
IQ with the WP and Taz is off the charts compared to other LI 2024 Teams. They are coached better as well.
As the parent of a 2024. It is honestly a pleasure watching WP and Taz pass the ball around. No other teams in the tristate even come close to that level of team play. I know other teams beat them both from time to time , but they both work well as a team
