My kids plays for BL didn't know that schedule was out. But got to go with Team 91 although it has to be their B Team as the A team is in Florida playing at Dicks Tournament of Champions. Even still their B Team has to be the odds on favorite.
Pool B I go with BL Poseidon and looking at 2024 I would go with BL 2024. I really don't know how 91 does it. They must simply practice more hours and compete consistenlty against top notch competition thus conditioning them to be better...Darwinism. It is 91 B team playing. BL beat them pretty well over the summer. it should be fun, BL is taking 2 very small evenly matched teams. Several of AA kids playing hoops or on vacation. Same with 91. They're struggling to get on team in. Lots of players on vacation. God forbid there wouldon't be a chance to make $ off of a holiday weekend. Not about the kids.

I really don't think anyone is cancelling plans for this tourney; however, I bet the kids who had no plans are happy to have some lax games to play. I know my guy is.

It's about the kids. They really do enjoy playing lacrosse and the competition. It's not just the tourney organizers making money. The travel/tourism industry is making a nice profit on the families who couldn't participate because they are vacationing. No need to be jaded, cynical and grumpy. Do you have a child that you feel is being forced to participate? My son had a choice and he decided he's going to show up tomorrow and shoot for the corners. Good luck to all who stand between him and the back of the cage!

You guys really think it's not about the $? Of course most of the kids like playing.no doubt about that. But if you think this is a game and not a business you must be new to this. Nothing about being jaded. My kids aren't playing in this tourney so I've got nothing invested. Teams and tourneys cost more and more every year, dollars play a factor in more and more decisions. Honestly I'm in a bit of a position where I don't have to pay any or full price for travel teams so in reality rising prices don't hit me. This is a holiday weekend. I've been to tourneys on easter, 4th of July weekend, etc. The kids will usually jump at the chance to do all this stuff. But don't kid yourself. Good luck to everyone. If my son was going at least he'd have to pull himself away from the new xbox.

Parents have options and the discretion to make responsible decisions regarding what events their kids participate in. But, as far as investments in our kids are concerned, lax is by far one of the better ones. Would you agree?

The kids played hard and were highly skilled as you would expect from that program. If winning the tournament against a good team is representing poorly, so be it. Which team does your son play for that represents much better?

They beat them by a goal and to be honest, they were playing with very small benches. I was impressed with the effort those kids gave in the game against us. fun night of lacrosse. Love some of those box uniforms

The warriors are good, and any team in the country, any team at all (yours too superstar dad) would be the "b" team to the bandits. if you're from philly your jealousy to the best team (i'm not from philly but i think most would not argue that) shines through.

You really are a moron always the negative. Read it again BL BEAT 91 by one goal and yes it was a makeshift squad from both BL and 91 with a lot of their club out with family or in Fla at Dicks Tournament as well as makeshift for BL You obviously also don't know anything about Team 91 as well, their B Team would smoke any other team in Philly except for Brotherly Love and maybe Mesa. BL is awful at the box game and hopefully the owners recognize that and work to the box offerings at BL. Box it is a100% different game. Name me one other team in Philly that could beat the 91 team that was at the tourney

It was a good game BL clearly isn't a good box team, but they will get better with Deniken teaching them.

Does anyone know the results of the other crossover games? Tourney Machine never updated. Did the other BL team play their cross over or just combine their teams for the championship? I think that was Eagle vs. BLA? Then Superstars vs. Fusion? and Finally Riot vs. Team11?

What's BL Posideon? Gotcha. Most teams, 91 included, are not going full-on into box lax. The tournaments are just to keep the boys motivated. It's really just the training that is important and most clubs see how much it will translate to the field. The footwork and tight shooting and quick passing will all benefit the boys once they get outside. But I don't think any teams are really trying too hard to be great Box lacrosse teams.

My kids love box and their whole field team to a man prefer it...even the poles because they get a chance to play offense. Personal opinion it is a better game and shouldn't be used as a means to an ends. The Philly clubs that submerse themselves "All In" box will see the dividends in the field game. Look at Denver's offense by Matt Brown it is beautiful and deadly at the same time. The college game is changing and programs are well served adapting. Crush and Bandits as noted above have been all in on box for years and look at their field results.

It is a new team they are starting up. We played their 2023 and 2024 team. If you are looking for more club lacrosse that would supplement your primary club experieince that is there focus. Many on this site seem to bash it but really up to you if you want to travel more, play on an all star team, have kids from more geographically diverse backgrounds.

The one at NXT in the fall looked like every other local travel team nothing all star about it.
