If WP plays anyone it should be the Express A team, not the other one.

No Express A team at this age. Some GC parents like to claim their 10 year olds are on an A team but it's really 2x B teams and everyone knows it.

They are 9

Please STFU...you have no clue. All kids in GC are USL eligible.you are not allowed to play in GC as holdbacks..you have to play up...This is all nonsense and all you parents on this site should be ashamed of yourselves who spew crap abt 8,9,10 year old lax...Give your kid a hug,tell them you love them..Dont tell them they need to improve because your friends son is better than your kid and you are jealous...lol you know im right, just admit it...

Someone struck a nerve. Happy Thanksgiving. Good luck to all the boys Friday.

Especially the larger ones! LOL!

I would imagine there are few 10 year olds on every team. Some parents choose to repeat a prek or similar for other reasons then this sport, believe me. Late birthdays. Learning issues. Get over it.

That's why we have to go age based. You say get over it because you get to brag to your buddies that you raised an athlete instead of a bully.

Loser

So I what I say to you, become president of US lacrosse and make that change. Talking about this same topic again and again is getting old.

So now we know your son is a holdback, I guess now he's a stud. Ha, ha, the joke is on you because the kids know what is up even at this age.

I really doubt that 4th grade parents are holding back for lax purposes. I mean cmon. There are two kids on my son's team that are 10. One is a late June birthday and one is mid July. They are at private school (two different ones) and their parents decided in pre-k to hold back. For the sole purpose of wanting their kids to be the oldest in the class, not the youngest. Can't fault them for that. I would have done the same thing
PS. Their goal in life is not travel lacrosse and a earning a partial scholarship to Hofstra.

Did express A roll today?

But that is the the point,they want them to be oldest. Then they will be dominant mentally and athletically/physically. It's a concept that catches up with them soon enough, but while that kid and his cheater parents get the edge, there are on age kids who miss out on the experience.

Barely beat north. Two A teams that look like B teams! So I guess Express has 3 B teams at this grade

How exactly are they cheating? Their kids are in 4th grade and play with and against fourth graders on a fourth grade team. When these kids are seniors are you going to [lacrosse] that they should be in college?

Let me ask a question. Who are the A teams then after pack and taz? Cause no team comes close to either and pack plays up.

I would classify WP and Taz as high "A" tier teams with WP well ahead. I would than classify as the Express teams as lower "A" teams, along with Igloo, 91 Combo, and Longboards. The other travel I would classify as solid "B" teams.....mama boys, Sharks, bluefish, true blue, etc. All town teams are pretty much "C" teams whe. We are measuring team talent as a whole. Again, nothing wrong with being in any of these groups. It's all about the development of the boys at this point, but it's pretty obvious that WP and Taz are a step ahead. Those other "A" teams are good solid teams. I think eval is pretty fair. You should note I am not a WP or Taz Dad. Lol

I would love to see those 2 teams play each other

That would be a great game

In my opinion they are both A teams. They have both won the majority of their games in the tourneys they play in. Like I said, WP and Taz have proven to be much stronger . Are there only two A teams? I think that analysis was a fair one.
