This is also true for all of the NPYLL teams such as Breakers, Hawks, etc..
This subject is comical! It is our own fault that we end up playing these U-15 teams made up of all 8th GRADERS from Maryland! A september 1997 kid here is squarely in the 10th grade! There he is a freaking 8th grader! Yet we keep rolling our 12,13 and 14 year old 8th graders and wonder why we might not stack up! There is nothing wrong with LI lax, other than the club owners and tournament directors (usually the same people) insist on inviting these out of state clubs to our GRADE LEVEL tournaments! Who's fault is that? These Maryland clubs love it! They aren't even cheating thanks to the brain trust running the tournaments! Unfortunately it is gonna take a kid who is outweighed by 100 lbs to get really hurt for someone to give a sh*t!
