I know there was a conversation about playoffs and number of teams. This is from the NGLL website so looks like 6 teams.
Play Offs: 2026 & 2027: Quarter Finals May 15th ; Semi-Finals May 21st, Championship Games May 22nd
Hope this clears things up and is what actually happens for our 27’s this year. Gives more girls the crush of the playoff excitement. After all- this is really all about the girls experience at this age and should be at every age.
I think the parents care more about NGLL than the girls. I asked my daughter and 4 of her teams which they would rather win, if they one win one -- NGLL, Lax For the Cure or Mid-Atlantic.
3 said Mid-Atlantic, 2 said Lax For the Cure. I said "no one for NGLL?"
All five laughed at me and one of my daughters friends said. (paraphrasing) "I'd rather just have 2 tournaments in the spring. stinks having to drive over an hour each way and half the games are blowouts." Another one said, "If we win NGLL, we cant go anywhere memorial day weekend"
I am pretty sure those 5 aren't alone.
Clearly, these girls are not part of a competitive team. Anyone putting Mid-Atlantic over Cure or NGLL probably plays at a lower level and never experienced playoffs or winning something like Cure.
Mid -Atlantic....lol.
Girls playing at the highest level absolutely want to win NGLL or Cure.
