Not going to get caught in this trap and then have a debate about A vs. B teams, but keep in mind that these are WSYL teams with age restrictions, so a team that you perceive to be an A or B may not be the same team that you see in the WSYL. For instance, and just using this as an example, is the Next Level WSYL team the same as the regular Next Level 2023 team, probably not. That is not a shot at Next Level, I understand the dynamics of youth lacrosse, but it is reasonable to think that there are Next Level 2023 kids that do not make the WSYL age cut-off. Honestly, I think that there are probably 4 true A level teams on that list, but the results will tell the story. Also, keep in mind that a team like Big 5 was created solely for the purpose of the WSYL and is comprised of some top kids from the Philly area, therefore, just because you have no other tournament history with Big 5, it will be a good team (and not a Big 5 parent)
