This point by Crabs is a fair one. Why are there no elite Summer tournaments in Long Island? All of the complaining seems linked to there being no alternatives to what LI people complain about. How hard would it be for LI Express to put on two major tournaments each Summer, one in June and one in July? The fact is LI teams flock to MD for high level play every Summer. How hard is it to run a friggin lacrosse tournament? Rent fields and put a tournament registration page that takes debit cards. Based on the tone of this thread, PLENTY of elite programs on the Atlantic Coast will flock to LI to play some ball. [/quote]

Team 91 runs TONS of tournaments but none can be considered elite. An elite event on LI is the best of the best but it's a showcase not a tournament.

I think it's because the top LI teams don't like playing each other and would have no choice if the tourney was here because they would all play.

Should have a tourney with: Turtles, 91 Orange, Express Terps, Outlaws black, True Blue blue, and about 5 teams from out of state.
