The U 15 nationals should be the tournament that any team that wants to claim to be the best goes to.Run by US lacrosse during the travel season and no area of the country in school. Teams from all over the country attend so if you do not go no excuses and if you win this tournament you should be able to claim a national championship and no one can take that away from you. Yes a win in showcase tournaments have some indication of a teams ability it is still not the same as a win during championship style tournaments.
Kinda silly to have a "National Championship" tournament that builds teams based on age when all the club teams are built based on graduation year. Seems like the club choice is to send an established younger age group team or, a group of girls that have not been playing together as a team. Why not grad year for Disney??
Florida might be too much of a time commitment not to mention a bit expensive for "everyone". Why not, as another poster mentioned, hold the tournament somewhere between Boston and DC? That's where the eventual champ (on the girls side) is going to come from.
