Just for perspective to the "new to club lacrosse" Next Level won the east qualifier for the WSYL 10 to 5 and the semi-final 7 to 1. In the MD club league they lost to Hawks 17 to 3. They added several players from Crabs. Public schools in MD and DC/VA have a similar age cut off. It is the private schools that have kids start late providing the age advantage. It is what it is but some teams are months older than others. The Hawks also do not play in the WSYL but have their own National Championship at Naptown. Another top DC area team is the Madlax DC dogs. They will be a favorite at the Millon run "National Championships" in 2023 age group. The top teams will face one another at times but there is not a true way to define a TOP team at this age. In a few years it will not matter as the focus shifts to showing not winning.
