Out of area teams often don’t know the circuit as well and prioritize random pointless tournaments with weak fields. The best metric of what area is best is the number of recruits to high level college programs and it is still overwhelmingly MD and NY dominating like they always have. Numbers haven’t changed much in the last couple of decades.

The product is fine.

That’s not why MD teams don’t attend.

You know that. You should also know why an on age tournament is a refreshing change once in a while.

Just because it doesn’t fit your clubs players doesn’t mean it’s a bad product.

Stop the propaganda.

Agreed - plenty of people “care” about the tournament. It’s a U13 tournament should have nothing to do with graduation year. There are plenty of excellent players within the hawks, Madlax, next level etc born after 9/1/09.

If most of the HoCo teams took there on age kids from 28 and pulled up the older 29s from their clubs they would probably do fine.

In fact Hawks and Madlax and maybe Next Level might win it based on how strong their 29 teams are.

There are 8 dozen reasons why this won’t happen but it would be fun for the kids.

I think if HoCo league just had a bye-week for that age group during the qualifier they might get some more MD teams.
You guys won’t send your teams because you know you would get crushed and it will hurt the club as a whole. Be honest with yourselves.


Rumor has it a couple 28 Hawks will be playing at the WSL.

With which team? Is there a local team being formed of on-age 28s from clubs in the region?
That doesn’t work. The World Series of lacrosse rules explicitly outline that you cannot form a team from multiple club teams. They do not want a “national“ team of kids from all over the place or even all over one specific area. Defeats the purpose

Ok, then I'll ask the question again to "Rumor has it" Dad: With which team are these 28 Hawks rumored to be playing?

True Maryland is playing and had an open tryout to fill out their WS roster.
