Probably not. But, I bet if you look at the birthdates of several players, they are older 2017 kids. I have no problem with this since it's well within the rules many tournaments have for grade based play. My suspicion is that's why they'll be at the U-15 championships this summer since a few/many of them would not make the age cut off next year at freshman. Remember, the express team that won last summer was freshman and most 2016 team players on LI make the cut off this year for U-15.

I'm sure I'll be corrected but it's just a hunch.


My guess is they have a tougher time down in Maryland in July..They may have cherry-picked the talent on Long Island, we'll see how they fare against Crabs et all...BTW, in the Brine National, are all the Turtles on the same Long Island team? Why not just come down as the Turtles?
