Crabs? Since when is Maryland part of Pennsylvania?

PA kids play for Crabs too

Opions on that list how would you rank them or put a different team in that place

Most of the teams would suffer it went age based because most of them if not all have summer birthdays on there team

The list contains teams that have a high percentage of "summer" birthdays

Top 5 2023 Teams in Country/Random Order
True IL AA
Team 91 Bandits
Brotherly Love
Annapolis Hawks
LI Express
Dukes Nationals( If they count)

Brotherly Love dad forgetting Crabs, FCA, Club Blue, Laxachusetts, Igloo, and Texas Mustangs to get themselves into a top 5 discussion.

Mesa is too soft to play 1on1 defense so they play a zone . They better not be in to 10

BL has beat igloo and has beat hawks who has beat both crabs and mustangs and crabs has lost kids, Mesa has lost 5 to 6 kids fca needs to prove themself with new roster and never really seen club blue and S2S is legit and I see what your saying about crabs

How has S2S done against A/AA competition, only saw them at a B tournament last summer

At this age basing things off last year is nuts. 1/2 the kids that are on age still haven't hit puberty and others have grown 6 inches. Add that to all the additions and subtractions plus guest players teams use and you never know what you will get.

I would say the Milon event in July would be a good gauge since it is supposed to be all club teams, but than you see True is in the field and Freedom, who will bring 1/2 the DN team. But I guess that is about as close as it will come to seeing who the top 5 really are...

How is Dukes National Lacrosse?

You must be new... Talented team, horrible organization.

Just read the Dukes Lacrosse thread under Forums/Pennsylvania/Dukes Lacrosse and you will learn all you need to know about the Dukes National Program. Good luck and buyer beware!!

very talented team....absolutely horrible ownership/management
many players will leave after the new year...wait and see

Dukes taking the 2023s to Florida to play 3 low level teams. I believe in the Dukes concept, but they act like the kids and families don't know anything about the team's that they play in these tournaments. Igloo sees the competition and drops out. Dukes says lets stick our families and make them spend a couple thousand dollars and have everyone come to Florida to play in 15-0 games. We know the best teams and none of them are in Florida. This after last playing another super weak tourney in November. C'mom let's find ways to play good teams,

Are you talking about Dukes or Dukes National? I see Atlantic Coast Stars is there. They will destroy Dukes. Just because you don’t know who they are doesn’t mean they’re not good. That’s why Igloo pulled out. Regional All Star teams are ruining the sport.

I guess they did not play low level teams. ACS wins 11-4
