Darn....I was really looking forward to that Breakers Vs. Kelly Post matchup.

The funny thing is that there are a lot of great kids and families on those teams who will have fun at that tournament and play good lacrosse (by their standards), and they have no clue that they are being laughed at by Hawks, etc. dads, nor do they know that this site even exists. Sometimes it feels like there is an inverse relationship between the level of play and quality of the parents.

Cool Story Bro

What’s even funnier is there are a bunch of kids on those ‘lesser’ teams that are going to be far better lacrosse players in high school and college than some of the kids on the ‘elite’ 2026 squads now.
