Nationals is that like Elite, Bluechip, Nat. Championships, Summer Nat. Champ, Fall Nat. Champ, indoor Nat Champ, or any other buzz word they stick on the front end of there tournament....
They are talking about the US lacrosse national championship, which does have the DOB cutoffs. But is a weak tournament. But the most prestigious event by far, UA, does not use the cut off and "used to " print DOB, which clearly showed what's going on. That event goes by region, and several years I saw many girls who didn't make the team in their own region, ended up trying out and playing for other regions. So you get to thinking, could my daughter go play down in age group next year in a different region so she stands out? Hmmm, she looks good playing her own age, she would look like a stud playing down. Of course if she tried to play age down in the Baltimore or D.C. Region, she would ultimately end up being the same age as the rest of the team, lol.
