Unfortunately - LI only has 1 high level tournamen. And it’s not a US lacrosse sanctioned tournament. That’s the Hofstra tourny next weekend.
You will never see the top teams waste their time and money staying at the Long island tournaments. Tg yes- In their own tournament of course. But did yellow jackets, top guns, igloo, jesters , maybe even legacy, play on the Island yet? No. Not once.
These Teams all Travel to Maryland, New Jersey, PA. To get better you have to play the better teams. You may not win every game, you may not win any tournaments. But to be playing at the highest level and call yourself an a team that’s where you have to go and you have to play in the A brackets. Notice TG purple andYJ B teams they to go to these tournaments but never in the top brackets… They are well placed by the tournament directors as they should be. To bad Yj are not attending Koster this weekend… Would be a great chance to have all the higher competitive teams together at least once.
