Everyone agrees that the Hawks 2026 have been using older kids for years and now other teams are catching up by adding their own. Don’t forget Looneys and MadLax too.

Sure, but they claim it is a few kids that are a few months older. Let's not equate that to a bunch of kids that played 2025 last year playing 2026 this year.

Exactly!! What other teams outside of Crabs have added 2025 to their rosters this year? Next year will be even worse with the holdbacks so expect more teams to add Older, Bigger kids.

Yep, tryouts in August should have new faces all over.

4 True teams in the 2026 East qualifier.

Correct. Current teams in East Regional.....

WSYL East
Annapolis Hawks 2026

Zingos 2026 Black

Anybody care to predict which four advance?

Saltwater takes it all!!!!

One thing we're all rooting for is 80 and sunny in late March.

It might be more than 4. in 2019 the North had 16 teams and eight advanced.

These are the best teams:

Annapolis Hawks 2026
Tigers XXVI Lacrosse
Towermen Lacrosse
Madlax Monuments
VLC Black Ops
Building Blocks LC U13

I think it is more than 4 but if it is only 4 I'll say Hawks, Tigers, BBL, Towermen

Anybody hear about that new VLC Black Ops team?

Your opinion is based on the performance of the normal 2026 teams. Not sure that will be valid.

I think only 20 teams actually advance to World Series. So my guess is that North and East will each get 5 of the 20 teams. The remaining 10 from everywhere else.

Does anyone have the U14 list of teams?
