Question for the Baltimore/Annapolis parents out of curiosity, do the teams mostly sort at this point with current or future BL kids at Crabs, future Calvert Hall players at FCA, and a mix of St. Mary’s/Severn at Hawks or does it not split along school lines like that?

A bunch of NL kids will end up at Gonzaga Landon and Georgetown Prep

BLC for sure. Then probably Kelly Post. Blue Claws is close to KP so could be them too. VLC isn’t close to these teams yet. They will be mid to bottom of AAA.

Should be BLC and Blue Claws.

That’s right. Probably 2/3 of the NL roster will end up at those three schools. The other 1/3 will be at an assortment of other dc area privates and a couple of public schools kids.

For BLC, I think based on the kids I know the same 3 schools will get a good chunk of the roster, but likely the kids will spread out a little more than NL at different DC area privates and a small number of public school kids.

Madlax will have a Landon contingent like always, but probably not as many Gonzaga or Prep kids as NL or BLC just because they don’t have as many MoCo catholic K8 kids and the school choice of people in NoVa is harder to predict. Both NL and BLC are almost all MoCo kids with a couple of Dc kids and a very very small number from NoVa.

The big wild cards in DC are whether SJC will continue to get some kids that might have in years past gone to Gonzaga and Prep, whether Dave is able to bring some NL kids with him to DeMatha, and whether Bullis can put together a good class.

Far more of the ML 28 team will be at Gprep/Gonzaga and Paul VI (for Northern VA kids) than Landon.

seems like there is a lot more box being played at this age this season.

Nice to see it.

What is there other than Warthogs/Coyotes and MadLax?

Agree though.

To say they’re not close is misinformed. They’re essentially the Cavalier team, which is a perennial Elite level club. And they’ve got some other good athletes too. VLC has had significant success at the older levels, too.

I think BLC is out over their skis in this division— they got blown out in the Elite division last year where they clearly didn’t belong— score about 20 goals to 80 allowed. Not sure how they’re all of sudden so deserving of a spot in the Wlite division…. Could put 20 kids into early retirement with another bagel in the Win column.

While it’s not true box, there’s a really fun outdoor league at Mclean HS. And hey, it’s Age Based for all you holdbacks whiners. 10u, 12u, and 14u. 5 on 5 with regular goalie gear in 4x4 nets, no poles.

Wide open, high scoring, highly recommend in fall/winter late 2022. Lots of Madlax, DC Express, VLC, Hammers, BLC, and True Va helmets.

What 28 teams from the area do folks think will play next year in the wsyl reboot?

Don’t know but I hope my son's team plays.

Scores at the HOCO tournament this fall suggest you might be the one that is misinformed:

Madlax 14 VLC 2
Next Level 11 VLC 0
BLC 7 VLC 0

Total score: 32-2.

Kelly Post and Blue Claws would also easily beat VLC. Same with FCA white. VLC’s only wins against HOCO teams was a win against AA Team Maryland and A Rockfish. VLC should win a game against a AAA team before talking about elite I’d think.

No Nationals teams in the World Series. Same format in that you need to live within 100 miles.

but last year team Isreal played when it was in Rockville

BLC deserves to play wherever they want to play for not folding last year like a few others who started in elite.

but last year team Isreal played when it was in Rockville

Last year they let Black Ops combine kids from 4 teams which is the exact opposite of what WSYL stands for. Sadly they still couldn't win which is comical. They were struggling to fill the team slots hence breaking with tradition. Just make sure to bring your checkbook.

So if hawks or NL or Crabs or you name the team played what would they do?
Pull up the holdback 2029s and combine the on age 2028s?

what is new WSYL called?

Will any of the local teams actually have enough on age kids to try and field a team?
