NLF doesn't seem to have the brand or standing it once did, probably from all the teams they block out of the "best tournament".

Yes they do. It’s the end game for the best teams and players before college. Don’t be bitter because your kids team isn’t invited.

Half of the teams who show up to NLF are terrible.

The other half are the best in the country, though. NLF is still the class of the tournament scene. The best teams, best venues, best coaches watching. That’s the reality.

How can you be an NLF team (either founding or affiliate) and not show up to your own associations tournament at every grade?

It's not how it used to be. Let's just wait for this summer tourney to take place, and list how many Top 20 teams/programs in each bracket are not "invited" to the "BEST" tournament lol. Igloo, 2Way, TeamTEN, BBL, Hawks, 3d NE, Legacy...man the list can go on! If you want to be the National Championships--then just let everyone in and stopped being scared ha!

No they won’t, that’s the entire point. Leading Edge blocks BBL, HHH blocks TeamTEN, Long Island teams not invited that are good etc.

Rumor has it that if you don't " kiss the ring " of a certain club (91)and one of its directors you get shut out . Once he throws a tantrum they don't allow you to play ...BBL, Hawks , Team 10 , Igloo, S2S and the list exoanda every year . Stop calling it "national" when you don't allow teams in because you're a man child and throw tantrums

Are there any other Philly area teams that HHH “lets in” to NLF anymore?? Seems like every good program has been shut out while HHH only has one good team left! This is why NLF doesn’t matter anymore with college coaches all going to NAL, Naptown, and NHSLS the “national” tourney with all the teams black balled is turning into a joke.

Wow... just looked at the HHH teams. What happened to that organization? The NLF should consider relegating them to protect the shield. They clearly aren't keeping up to standards that have been set.

So salty. The meltdown of the mean fat dad and the empty facility would be funny if it was not sad. Selling false promises and blaming others is coming home to roost. How about a little personal responsibility.

If it didn’t matter you would not be here crying. Reality setting in. Parents scrambling to get kids seen at nlf. Never seen kids jump ship in a recruiting year. This is a first.

It doesn’t matter chief…name me another sport/league/organization that allows you to block someone from your own backyard because they run the sport better than you do? Just pointing out how weak those clubs look, goes against everything that sport and competition stands for but keep justifying it, I bet you were the kid that took his ball and went home when the better kids showed up, weren’t you?

HS years, wins/losses mean nothing. HHH sends their boys to top schools/programs annually; that’s what parents should care about. But go on and brag how good your son’s team is and let us know how he does at Kingsborough CC

Yeah, I’m sure you’re correct. College coaches will be fighting each other for better positions on the sidelines to watch HHH teams go a combined 0-30 and get beat by 15 at every NLF tournament for the next 4-5 years

HHH has sent their kids to top tier schools. That will continue through the ‘25 class as that team has been a top ranked team loaded with talent for years. After that, there is a noticeably steep decline. They simply are not keeping up with the competition in the NLF. Resting on the laurels.

So while this guy keeps talking competition and sports, he is ignoring that this is a business for the clubs. The only way to keep this one particular business afloat is by offering the NLF exclusivity and hoping that families jump ship from their top tier youth teams for the promise of NLF.

My predictions… HHH will sell to a private equity firm within 3 years. The Rest of the NLF will follow suit within 5 years. The cost to play on an “NLF” team will double as they will continue to lock out clubs for exclusivity and college coaches want to put in minimal budgets to get the best players.

I think those stats prove a point... but not the point you are making. I'd say those NLF tourneys are loaded with the top clubs. A few don't make it, but by and large the big boys are there.

And the exclusivity isn't about NLF teams being scared. That is just ridiculous. They built the brand. They can do what they want to maintain that brand. Plus we all know that every single player on one of these excluded teams would jump ship in a heartbeat to play with their local NLF team.

These NLF teams are deep. How many teams does Laxachusetts have? how many teams does express have? The lower division is for their aspiring teams. Again, these NLF directors now how to grow revenue. It ain't by having BBL play at their tournament. It's by having those BBL boys jump ship to the NLF baby! Iron Sharpens Iron!

Deep....aspiring teams ? Lax yellow gets smoked every time they touch the field as well as other B teams in the tournament. You're ridiculous. They will be there and will go 0-4 not sharpnening anything fool ....keep some top teams out and win the tournament....brilliant business strategy but weak lacrosse competition strategy

Correct. And they are. Will see a lot of new kids on the NLF teams this weekend, never to return again..... This is why you see the person referenced above in a funny freakout.

I don't think yot get it ....the point trying to be made is " why are they keeping top teams out from other clubs and allowing their lowly B teams in ?" Let's see this weekend after first day of games ....check out and see the records of lax yellow, true blue , among other B teams . True blue is a non competitive low B team and is allowed in. So you can't have it both ways and call it a "top club tournament" and say people are jealous that theyre not allowed in it when it's a known fact that certain directors are blocking some top teams out while allowing their B teams in . Stop calling it the summers biggest tournament blah blah blah its watered down at this point .
