I was told that the team representing Brotherly Love is NOT the Zeus Team. Interestingly enough it is their 2024 team which is age eligible but a full year younger than the cut off for 2018. This team is going to the qualifier but will not go to the World Series until 2019.
WSYL is going to be dead in two years. USLacrosse Nationals & NLF National Championships (ESPN coverage) are going to kill it.
Not sure that I agree, US Lacrosse nationals and NLF have their own inherent problems. US Lacrosse has ridiculous structure to earn qualifying points, NLF is a closed system, and both will be forever plagued by the holdback issue. I am not suggesting that I am for or against holdbacks, but it is the one issue that generates the most debate in youth lacrosse. While far from perfect, at this point WSYL seems to have the most workable formula. Not saying that WSYL is going to last forever, but I do not see it going away so fast.
