Really, that's what is about? Try reading the eligibility rules. https://worldseriesofyouthlacrosse.com/rules/
The augmentation of teams by adding players from upper age groups like they do in NY and the formation of WSYL specific teams is clearly walking in a dark gray area. It will make for better 7th grade lacrosse but it is not what it is about. Not a complaint, an observation. Or is that allowed (db)?[/quote]

That's not what it should be about, but that is what it will be about. It'll be an All LI team plus others in the finals hopefully vs a MD team. Like the other poster said, 100 miles is the rule. Long Island has a greater population than the state of MD. Add in the majority of Conn, most of NJ, NYC and north all being within 100 miles and you have the super team that the Express want.

Nice try 91 Dad; you team is awful and imploding. Mass exodus by summers end.

No Baltimore players being added to the Hawks.

Hope they do another All In team.
Well coached.
Players had a blast.
Why do you care?

What is All In?

When are tryouts?

I think Hawks have a problem, they don’t want to duck out of WS because it will look bad, but if they participate they risk getting knocked out early. I suggest they don’t go to WS because losing in the early rounds is worse than not showing up.

Agreed All-In was great. My son had a great time. Had they practiced more then one time for 40 minutes they could have made a really big statement. Tough to be at your peak when you have no EMO set. Despite all that the families were very appreciative of the folks who put together the team.

Looneys dad has trouble remembering playing Madlax this summer. Teams played four times and Looneys lost THREE times. Played in NLF in PA, Adrenaline Platinum Cup (only Looneys win) and then twice at Millon 2026 tournament in August. All the games were competitive and good matchups. In November Madlax beat FCA, VLC and 91 MD. Only loss in the Fall was to Tigers. Tigers were the better team and deserved the win. Regarding WSYL- east qualifier includes NJ and PA with MD,VA. Only 4 teams qualify so expect NJ to have strong teams like Towermen & BBL and PA with Tigers. Maybe 1 or 2 teams from MD/VA qualify.

When did the Hawks last play Looneys or Crabs?

Hi Madlax dad.

Thanks for reminding us. You forgot to mention, two loses were in OT to the national team. 👍🏼 They only played three times this year.

When are tryouts?

Hawks beat Crabs a month ago with all their new additions. Shut up and go back under your rock.

Beat Crabs 2-3 weeks ago at Blandair - The debut of the 2025 Crabs playing 2026

Beat Crabs in October.
