Out of respect for this player... PLEASE do not name the team.

2019 went to Florida and Va last fall. Why not?

It has to be the Express Terps

What teams are practicing already?

Um, I can't think of "one of the most talented players" on said team that was cut. I really can't. Some very nice boys did not make it back though, unfortunately.

Crush of course.

They all are crush dad!!

But only one is the best team in the country, so I hope so for their sake.
But something tells me that not all of them are.

That is def not a crush dad. Trolling

Deserving kids make team while others do not for reasons that are both fair and unfair. Politics, back room deals, etc. are rampant especially as we start getting close to the onset of the recruiting years. It is not, however, as simple as looking at the roster and deciding that the best kids must have made it. In some case that is true, in others the luckiest or most hooked up kids made it. You obviously choose to believe that everyone cut from whatever team your son is on were lesser players. We know that because your son is on the team and they are not. Therefore your son is one of the better player. If you ever find yourself in the unenviable position of suddenly having to scramble to find a new team for your son I suspect you will be back on here wailing about the injustice of it all.

I empathize with your position. I would like to think when that day comes for me/my son, which I'm sure it will some day, we just move on and don't point fingers. I have not walked in your shoes though so I'll refrain from any further comment on it and just wish you and your son luck.

Where are the Crush 2020 playing this Fall?

fl$ Sweetlax Edge Ontario FCA North-East and the Rock from Baltimore ?? are at Cornell U in two weeks in the 2020 division

what's the tournament name?

Who cares

Sweetlax invitational

Played Sweetlax last year and got a little beat up. Really good team. Talked to a couple of the kids after the game, real nice kids. They could have really run up the score but didn't.

thanks fl$ dad, make sure you hit the fl$ fall line of clothing before you go. stay warm

Lol, you might want to re-visit your cystral ball on this one Oh disgruntled one.

Manhasset Daddy Invitational

Easy there Studlete.....

Did this happen yet? If so, results please.

The rest of us care -regardless of whether our team is going or not, it is nice to hear what other teams in the age group are doing and he results.

Agreed. My son has friends on various teams and kids that had once played with his team, but no longer do. It is nice to hear about the LI teams that are successful playing in tournaments that we are not in. Hope to hear about all our teams. The kids are almost at recruiting years and we should be cheering on all our LI teams and athletes and drop the - "my team is better than yours" attitude.

nov 1st I believe

I'm surprised Edge is invited back after the roster antics they played last year at this tournament...unconscionable.

Their 2020 team is made up of mostly 15 year olds

How old were the boys in question? Was it 15 year olds playing 13s

that's funny no kid on our team is 15 years old..where are u getting this stuff from

they are making it up, just in case they lose they have an excuse. Forgive us we are Lawn Guylanders. funniest thing I read this morning - "Manhasset Daddy Invitational".

Exactly. He is 16 now

Why doesn't lacrosse just do what hockey does? just go on Birth year and stop all this nonsense. June 1st 2001!?? they are 9th graders!!!

hockey goes strictly by birth year because birth year (not grade) denotes when they can be drafted
go to age limit tournaments and see how much college recruiting is happening -- the college coaches go to look at the best talent regardless of birth year

'19 you had '18's that you brought down b/c you wanted them to get the exposure and see CU and have the coaches see them. 3 kids. That is fact. you ran through the tournament and two kids were carted away as a result. The fact that your org is invited back is a shock to me. Your site advertised last year for the '20 team class of 19 and 20 's welcome. Am I wrong about any of this? If so, please correct me and I'll apologize, but I won't have to.

"Manhasset Daddy Invitational"

Those Dad's are fun. I enjoy their company and NONE are over the top on the sidelines and this is from an arch-rival.

that's the 2019 team that reclassified. the 2020 team was put together for [lacrosse]'s Sporting Goods. Sweetlax doesn't have a 2019 division only 2020 and 2021.

The entire age issue is a disgrace in lacrosse, would love to see some people stand up for whats right and attack the issue. Coaches can not like things the way its put together and I know parents do not like it either

Some coaches like it and are even doing it with their own kids. Nice role model for the sport!

They did last year and that is what your organization did. Now you see my point right?
Looking forward to the event this year. New year. Hope all is above board...
