My prediction is that one Crush boy will be playing again this year..

Because he will be of age.

It is amazing, but that's the state of the game and a lot of teams that have put in years as a team don't want to kick 3 or 4 kids off the team for 1 tournament and have their chemistry all screwed up. That's why wsyl is a joke.

So they changed the dates so 4 non game changing Crush boys can play ??? Really . Or they rigged it the first year so Crush can play all their kids ? You must be one who thinks the Moon landing was fake also.

With regard to the four boys that you say are not game changers - one is committed to OSU, one is going to Hopkins and one is the coaches son. If I have it wrong, please explain the reason for the 5/1 must be in 7th, then the 5/1 grade doesn't matter. I am pretty sure that the 5/1 grade doesn't matter allowed 3 of the 4 crush boys to be eligible. Now we are at 9/1.

Great response. Any team would like to have those four players. You still haven't offered an explanation as to why the eligibility changes.

The MLL and Warrior should focus on getting their awesome pro teams on tv and not these patched together teams of random kids.

They have a national contract with CBS Sports Network and the regional sports affiliates also carry games locally

Going to be a great experience for teams that make it

Which is every team that pays to go. Denver is a great city. Wsyl is not a great tournament. Stay on Long Island if you want to see better tournaments.

It's about the overall experience, not just the tournament alone. Glad my son had the experience. He was treated like a rockstar. He gets to play in competitive tournaments every weekend in June and July- none match this experience. It's not just about the competition- - it's so much more- it embodies the spirit of youth lacrosse from across the country. If you aren't into it- don't go- but don't be so negative unless you experienced it first hand.

This has to be the Penguin.

Igloo is coming for the SUPER TEAM

Everyone needs to stop saying it is a crappy tournament. It is age based. The winner is the BEST team at this age. I'm not sure why it's ok to have a little league world series (or hockey, soccer) based on age but not ok for lacrosse. Just because the MD, PA and MA folks choose to not enter teams because they know they can't win doesn't make the tournament not worth it. My nephew played in it and said it was the greatest experience of his lacrosse life. Like someone else said, they are treated like rock stars. The kids absolutely love it - win or lose. It is a once in a lifetime experience. It doesn't get any fairer than this tournament: kids playing each other that are the same age - doesn't matter if you were held back, started school late, or what grade you are in. The playing field is level - everyone is the SAME AGE. For you MD, PA and MA teams - get some balls and play. You're like 3 year olds: we can't win so we won't play, and then you bash the tournament? WEAK

You are funny! The "team" that won last year is not even a real team, they are middle of the road when the play their correct grade.

What are you talking about? Last year the best "team" was the team that won. They played against kids their own age. No holdbacks, no pre-k kids - a level playing field. Stop making excuses. Again, the tournament can't be more fair. All participants are equal. You are very WEAK

A real team is one that played all spring together in a league and a couple summer tourneys. Not one thrown together for some money grabbing B level tourney.
