I have 2 sons playing on national level - like many of you I am at tourneys every weekend in the summer and 3 in the fall and 1-2 in the spring. Travel runs from New England through LI, philly and down to MD. Most tourneys in MD - Spring Fling, NAPTOWN, IL invitational and others. 2024 is significantly weaker class relative to 23, 22 and 21. WSYL last year showed it and ever tourney shows it - there are single stand outs but as a class it is lower quality lacrosse.

Smaller kids, less lax IQ, poor decisions and hero ball.


My son is a 23, so I don't know a ton about the 2024s, but it seems like the top players are starting to group together onto a few select teams at a much younger age than in the past. At 2023 and older, my impression was always that the top kids were disbursed over a lot of different clubs which created a little more parity. At the younger years, it appears that top kids are starting to consolidate onto what are perceived to be the top tier clubs, thereby creating a huge talent gap between clubs.
