You are missing the point of my post. The BBL people love to gloat when they are ranked high in these polls but claim that they are rigged when that ranking goes down. Total hypocrites. As far as I am concerned these poles are completely bogus. This is a sorry trend of capitalizing on youth lacrosse. The next company to look out for is Lacrosse Magazine. Not to be confused with US Lacrosse Magazine. Bottom line, please don't give these companies any credibility by posting their rankings online.



And yet you post here about the rankings because your team moved up. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Notice how Legacy is now pounding their chests after their World Series humiliation on TV now that they picked up a whole bunch of holdbacks and finally won a couple of fall games. The fact is last year before Legacy went whole hog with holdbacks would have been crushed by BBL in Denver. But they demanded that the brackets be changed last minute. BBL tried to play Legacy in the last tournament of the season with the WS teams but they couldn't even make it to the championship game losing to Laxachusetts and complaining to the tournament directors afterwards about biased officiating.

In Long Island, Legacy is a third rate club that's always outside looking in. So they have to go to other regions to spew their garbage. Legacy is cancer to the sport. Legacy's holdbacks will seek greener pastures and Legacy will be back to the bottom.
That is the funniest thing i ever heard. They have no hold backs. all those kids played in WSYL. check the roster instead of making excuses of why you lost to them. legacy beat you Last fall before WSYL. Its ok to lose , i know it burns deep in your bones. You are embarrassing yourself . You are the ones that come on BOTC saying how you would beat eveyone, that you should have been in the finals. of WSYL. You have not beat one good team. You are making a bad name for your kids. You have a good lacrosse team. No need to put down others, to try and make yourself feel better.


This is coming from the same Legacy team that bullied their own goalie into leaving. Constantly berated and made fun of his weight issue. He's a good goalie. Classy organization.


Message to the parents of the new Legacy goalie that replaced this poor kid. Your boy will eventually suffer the same fate not because he's not a good player, but because he looks "different" from the rest of the team. This Legacy team is notorious for being (fill in the blank). Keep a close eye on him.


Are you kidding - you are giving advise in this !@#$%^& place? Laughable and please get a life.

There are usually 2 sometimes 3 NJ teams in the top 25 of USCLUBLAXdotCom, So Jersey is representing pretty well, Jersey strong. BBL is always in the top 25 at each age group and usually top 10.

NJ lacrosse is somewhat fragmented and therefore talent is spread thin. Nothing wrong with that but it would be nice to have a version of a NJ combined team similar to True or Dukes where top players can play together outside of their respective clubs.

The national team model makes no sense from a development perspective. They have few, if any practices, and just meet up for 1 or 2 tournaments a year. If you are on a top team in your age group in NJ, you are probably playing the same tournaments anyway, and getting quality practices with your team. That being said, if you are interested in a national team, there is always Mad Dog locally, or you can drive to PA or MD. If there was a real benefit to the national teams, you would see a lot more kids from LI playing on those teams. As you said, the real problem is that the NJ talent is spread too thin, but recently it seems like a few NJ clubs are doing a very good job aggregating talent.

I agree regarding development. Joining a national team as a supplement usually means the player is already being developed by his or her club team. That player may be one of the best players in that team. Typical situation is that the team as a whole may not be considered AA (whatever that means) and enters tournaments in the correct bracket but he or she desires to compete in a AA bracket with a national team notwithstanding scheduling conflicts. What tournaments this summer have Mad Dog National team played in. Curious about what teams they play.

They play in Naptown and the new event in NJ July 11th & 12th. Mad Dog West 2024 and Mad Dog Black 2025 play in Naptown without national players. Moving to Mad Dog NJ for the national team is a mistake. NJ could be dead in a year and only National Team that is legit is the 2021 team.

They played Naptown and the national team event in NJ the following weekend this summer. Obviously, at Naptown, you will get most of the big clubs, the NJ event was small format, but had some quality teams like True Atlantic and Dukes. I can certainly appreciate your perspective, but tournaments like Crabfeast and Naptown also have NJ club teams, and along with the NLF events, probably offer the highest level of youth lacrosse competition. Unlike Crabfeast, Naptown seems to attract many more national level teams. While you obviously know what's best for your own child, if you feel that their regular club is not offering the appropriate level of competition, perhaps a change of clubs would help. While this is not a bad thing, many NJ clubs focus mostly on development and stick to the B or lower level A tournaments, if your kid is an A or AA player, they may be better served on a NJ club that plays only A and AA tournaments. Also, keep in mind, that although your child may seem like an AA player in the lower level tournaments, things are much different at the AA level, a lot of these teams are filled with big, fast and incredibly talented players which can be a big adjustment. Also, while some would disagree, despite the fact that these national teams hold tryouts, they typically target kids that they already know, not to mention the mysterious "guest" players that appear out of nowhere.

No kid on either team, but I watched the BBL 2022 team absolutely crush the Mad Dog national team at Downingtown yesterday.
It begs the question whether the Mad Dog NJ or Cal team would have done just as well.

Do they even still have a NJ team? Didn't Mad Dog NJ fall apart after the Squan coach left? Only National teams?

Mad Dog National was a 23/22 team and their best 2022 played on the 2021 National team. Squan kid, he is very solid. Not sure how long he stays with MD. His brother played for Leading Edge.

I heard that it was somehow related to NJLC, either way, most of the NJ talent is home and back in school.

That is irrelevant, the question was about NJ teams qualifying for the WSYL. BBL, Tribal and Mad Dog teams are all very strong and, if you put any weight behind US Club Lax rankings, are ranked 12, 16 and 17 nationally.

Any word from WSYL on the qualifier? They going to push it back or is the WSYL done for this year?

Well, the discussion is probably irrelevant at this point, but I believe that BBL had the same "big problem" last year, and things worked out OK. Hopefully, things will calm down a bit and our kids can get in some lacrosse this summer.

I agree, but there will always be doubters. My son does not play for Mad Dog, but I have had some experience with the 2025 coach and he seems like a really good guy. I do know a few parents of 2025 players and I know that they would certainly agree that he is an excellent coach and would not do anything underhanded.

I agree, but there will always be doubters. My son does not play for Mad Dog, but I have had some experience with the 2025 coach and he seems like a really good guy. I do know a few parents of 2025 players and I know that they would certainly agree that he is an excellent coach and would not do anything underhanded.

Too bad he has blown up the Mad Dog NJ program. All he cares about is the 2025 Black team.

I think that he was left with a program in decline and perhaps sees that the only way to re-build is to start with the younger age groups. Other than the 2021 team, the high school program is shot for now, but if he can develop these younger teams, maybe there is a future for the NJ program. He needs to have a track record, and success at the younger age groups will bring in more kids. A lot of the blame can be placed on the 2023 parents that bailed right before the season, that really hurt the high school program,

You sound like the director trying to place blame on parents.
Don't know anything about the 2023s. I had a son on the 2027 team and it was a s*** show so we moved on. Revolving door with coaches. Too bad Billy isn't still around he could get all the kids back.

Honestly, not affiliated with the program in any way, but the 2023 mess last year was a disaster. Clearly, you have a much better perspective on the situation than I do. I hope that you and your son found a better option, nothing more disappointing that spending all of that money for a ton of aggravation. We recently went through a club change as well, fortunately, there are some good alternatives available.

Mad Dog National running practices for limited Mad Dog players. Tri-State stars in a few weeks and the Jersey Shore beaches are packed.

Unfortunately, the start of practices will not help the beach crowds, unbelievable...

Considering that it was basically illegal to practice until yesterday, you probably will not get a lot of replies, but I believe that a few clubs are starting up this week.
