A and AA 2023 teams are igloo, 9d1, express, s2s, true blue, outlaws and empire. Can argue some of these may not be an A team but it is a real struggle because most teams are not A level. If any other Long Island team goes out of state and plays A or AA teams they will be crushed. In fact most of these teams will be crushed by out of state A teams. True Blue struggled with out of state A and B teams.
The majority of the so called AA teams have holdbacks (90+1,Express,Igloo). If you go outside of New [lacrosse] the holdback issue is even greater. If every team is age appropriate you would not see a disparity. Express A team from last year has at least 5 kids on there team that cant play in the WSYL. Plus they added the new kid who cant play in the WSYL. So next July 4th weekend we will see who the top team is in 2023. in the end who cares, I'm actually kicking myself for even responding to this stupidity. Right now the two best teams on LI at the 2023 age group are the Bandits and Express Haugen, after that its a crap shoot. Its Football season anyway enjoy.......
