You are missing the point. Nike LaxNationals has single grade teams (unlike UA). So this year there are three different teams: ‘23, ‘24, ‘25. Why are 2026’s on the Philly 2025 team???
Not many 2025s came to evaluations. Tigers parents have $400 to drop to get their kids' name on the internet as an all-star and put another jersey on the bedroom wall. Don't be mad at them for having the spare cash. Obviously an incoming freshman gains little by any recognition for a game like this, but who cares if that's how they want to spend their money?
