Ironic the “NLF isn’t that good” discussion comes out right around the same time a local club team is not allowed to participate in NLF events.

Which team is not allowed to participate? Why are they not allowed to participate?

Seems like you are the one that is hysterical. The fact that NLF over ranks NLF member teams should not surprise anyone. I believe the teams at last weeks tournament were ranked by US Club Lax as follows:

Laxachuesetts Black - 8
Fog City - 13 Seem like some of their players may not have come in from San Francisco
LI Express Schreiber - 27
Mad Lax Cap 2024 - 29
HHH - 35
Hardcor - 93
ETC 34 - 115
Team91 LI United - 219

While there are some really good teams in the preceding list. I think "all the best clubs" being there is out of touch with reality.

They were unable to get most of their better affiliated teams to come. Prime Time (2), LI Express CoachC (5), Team 91 LI Shock (7), Sweetlax FL (10), Leading Edge (12), Mad Lax Cap 2025 (14), West Coast Starz (18), and Sweetlax Upstate (25) all elected not to participate.

It seems like NLF tournaments are losing steam. They are ducking better competition to protect their weaker teams.

OK, will bite, what better competition was missing

All but two of the U.S. Club Lax top 25.

NLF is a great tournament. However, I feel it’s complete chicken bleep that they are allowed to block a non-NLF club team from their geographic area. I know…it’s a business blah blah blah but name me one other sport that does this?

Ah ha we exposed the truth. The anti-NLF / HHH 2025 rhetoric is because someone is upset they got bumped from NLF events.

The NLF events have the exposure, however you'll be playing in the crappiest venues ( dusty cow pastures or pot hole ridden uneven grass plots)
I'm assuming these NLF teams are tired of traveling hours away to play against the same old teams every summer also.

Your kid is the next Paul Rabil of course. But if the next Pauly is playing in the dark gym it is going to be tough to get his talents to the next level before his pro career. So do us all a favor and get him to the cow track otherwise you are punishing us and the rest of the world. Do us a favor bud.

Is it only one club that is being blackballed or multiple? Does anyone know which teams are being excluded and why?

I’d be willing to bet it’s a Team Ten dad who believes that their USCL ranking of 3 entitles them to enter or be invited to all the tournaments.

Nobody cares about the summer kickoff. They care about the National Championship.


It has nothing to do with being “scared” to play team ten. Literally it’s only to influence kids/parents to play on an NLF team.

Well said. And if you are so consumed with your team's "ranking" as a rising junior in high school then your priorities are way out of balance. That argument is for middle schoolers. HINT: College coaches do not care about team rankings.

This board awfully quiet now that HHH 2025 continues steamrolling. Might explain the players trying to transfer over from the sinking ship.

The Big Four tournament is an embarrassment; I remember when there was good competition, clubs that actually had talent. Mitchell Pehlke was recruited there…
The teams HHH beat are brutally non-competitive, but hey, congrats!

Second that…Where were the rest of the NLF clubs (and more importantly the scouts?). Not a good look for a once dominant club (still great at ‘25… too bad those kids has to waste their weekend playing True [insert random locale].

Yes, I said HHH '25 is great team. Top in the area, loaded with talent. Just that the tourney was [Censored] and waste of their time - These kids have been playing in top level tourney's for years and years now. Time for this specific tourney to shut down. Some clubs are good at running events and others aren't. Stick with what is working and cut out what isn't. That is all i'm saying. This is a discussion board, right?

That original quoted comment is out of context and was about the HHH hosted tourney (Champions League) being a terrible tourney. NLF is obviously a great tourney. No argument from me on how superior of a recruiting tournament NLf is.
