Wow...Jealousy. But your TV will be on ESPN July 4th. Bye Bye B Daddy

I heard 24 is trying to buy Legacee and combine them with 24 East

Wrong. "A" starter Daddy who wants no part of this over July 4 weekend. I have other kids. And I do not have endless supply of $$.

no it wont!! lost

So instead of bashing the tournament just say the truth. You have other kids and the $$$ is a concern. Not a big deal. But you calling it a joke shows deep down there is some jealousy that you are not part of it. Don't be a hater

Never heard of 2way, but TB is horrible. They haven’t a prayer of getting to Denver unless the WSYL is adding a B division.

WP
Express
Taz
Igloo
Laxachusetts
Eclipse

A starter daddy?? Starter for who?? Obviously not a starter on a team that has a chance of qualifying.

Laxachusetts does not go (too old) also I bet Eclipse is full of holdbacks.

[ChillLaxin] is now calling parents of top players in this age group and offering an all expenses paid "all star" team for qualifying tournament and denver. The only cost is flight. Don't have to pay for Hotels, tournament fee's, jerseys, equipment. CRAZY!

Can’t be true. Read the rules of theWSYL. Have to play multiple tourneys together as a team (forgot how many) in order to qualify. They have the rule so this exact thing doesn’t happen. Has to be a legitimate travel team.

that's why its a joke. ALL kids moving to different teams for one tournament , that means nothing.

https://worldseriesofyouthlacrosse.com/rules/

All players must compete with their team or program on a regular basis. Minimum requirements are that players must compete with their team/program for at least two tournaments (outside of a WSYL event), or in a seasonal league. These events do not need to precede the qualifier but must precede the Championship event. Tournaments or Leagues must be bona fide events operated by a third party. The legitimacy of a tournament or event is up to the discretion of WSYL. WSYL reserves the right to require proof of participation in these tournaments or leagues. Players cannot be added only to participate in the World Series.

Not sure how they can truly enforce anything.

Wouldn’t matter anyway. Top players are going to play with their top team. Nobody would desert their top team for free airfare, except maybe some kids from teams that wouldn’t make it anyway. Then, you got a bad team.

Any teams have practice yet?

Rumor has it Madlax's big kid got fed up with crazy coach and is now playing with 23s and blc took one of their other top players. Trouble in Madlax Land? Madlax Daddy, please chime in...

FAKE NEWS! Team has everyone and is stacked!

That tournment is really a Joke , why is it in Dever anyway ? Especially NY teams taking it every year. Waste of money if you ask me . Does the club pay for anything going away ?

Madlax picked up BLC's best long stick.

You guys trading players? Who cares. 91MD has taken over as top 24 team.

So they are the same except for the addition of a pole? Wow. Obviously mad lax is going to continue their downward spiral. Are they traveling all the way to Denver again this year just to find the easiest tourneys of the summer, like last year? Seems like a huge waste of money to fly to Denver for a terrible tournament. Since you guys are going to be there again this year, why don’t you just kill two birds with one stone and stay for the WSYL?? Afraid your boys will get beat up on national TV?

Holy animosity. Did you get cut or your kid?

Both true.

Rosters speak for themselves: https://capital.madlax.com/18rosters.

Think of it this way. You don’t have to make up excuses about why mad lax isn’t going to be in Denver next summer. Just tell everyone that madlax will be there. You don’t have to tell them they will be there for the B tourney again. It’ll be our little secret. 😉

Dummy. You have absolutely NO clue. That doesn’t happen. At all.

Now there’s a novel idea. Play with kids his own age. Hmm.

Will Wolfpack or Taz be rank ONE for the pre-WSYL rankings???

And now the truth comes out. Langtry told everyone he was dealing with old concussions so was unable to fly in and coach. In actuality he was drinking, got in an accident, and fled the scene, so he was arrested.

I would avoid putting your kid in Island Box.

Wow, you are one slanderous petty person. I have no horse in this race and dont even know the program as I dont live on Long Island. However, no where in this article does it say drinking was involved in the accident. He was leaving a liquor store like lots of us do. Not a single charge related to alcohol was filed. You inserted that you petty little troll

We did Island Box last year. My kid had fun and wants to do it again. It was rocky towards the end when Langtry wasn't there but not enough to keep me from bringing him back. I think they're bringing in an Adelphi coach as a new director this year who is located on LI so I expect it to be smoother.

You clearly didnt read too carefully.

He fled the scene, so they couldnt breathalize him. But police found an empty open vodka bottle in the car and 2 full vodka shooters plus his ID which he left in the car. And their was a witness who saw him run trying to escape.
Thats not slanderous. Its pretty clear what happened here.
And the article doesnt say what the exact charges are. It says Langtrys attorney is denying that he was drinking. Which means that is part of what he needs to defend against in addition to leaving the scene and having open liquor in the car and reckless driving which the lawyer is also needing to defend him for.

And he left the scene where the driver in the other car was injured and ended up hospitalized with deep head gashes.

Not to mention he lied about why he was gone from the Island Box program last winter to parents. Probably hoped noone would find out.

But hey, you go and put your kid in a program with the owner being an irresponsible adult. Sounds more like your a friend of his anyway.

But not me. And I bet a lot of other people feel the same.

I guess we are off punishment now. Let the anonymous posts begin

For the elite crew....my opinion of top 10.

WP - have the talent but could backfire. 91 tried something similar in 2022 and it didn't work. Why mess with success?
Legacy - Hard to imagine they don't take a step back. Still elite but not the #1
Express - Oldest team in the age group. can't win wsyl but could roll given team is almost all 2005s including a FEB!
MD91 - Team would be better without the daddy ball. Best D and goalie in the age group
Madlax - Rumor is big mid playing 2023. If that is true they are in trouble.
Bethesda - always add a few holdback every year. not a great year last year. could change this year with some 2023s coming down
Annapolis. Could end up best in the age group. Crushed WP at NLF in June. Will add many early 2005s.
Brotherly Love - Not as skilled but probably best athletes
BBL - Most underrated team. Never see them at top tourneys but legit
Laxachusetts - 2nd Oldest team in the grade. Not very skilled but have size.

what about Prime Time? had a strong finish at the NLF championship.... BBL is very strong , but not sure about wsyl eligibility , very strong attack squad

Lol. Probably more like the moderator was on vacation or something and turned it off. Would you leave this crew unsupervised?

You mention age as in "older kids"!! for all of these top teams. Its absolutely ridiculous that this goes on in YOUTH sports. The kids born in 2006 are the true 7th graders. Period end of story!!!! We all stand on the sidelines complaining about hold backs and older kids. Go age based no question marks no cheating....

so if my son is born Dec 20 2005 he should play in 8th grade even though he is a 7th grader,,Is that what you ALL are saying??????

Make an age rule and stick with it. US lax needs set age rules put and enforced in place or there is anarchy. We all know there is way to much cheating in regards to age going on. It really is the only bad thing about the sport. I am sympathetic about your sons December DOB my son was born Oct 06, and plays 2024. I feel you.

Its simple. Set the date as 8/15- 8/14 of the following year. This way it covers all states. And kids can play based on thise birthdates, or the few in NY with DOB from 8/15 to December can play up to stay in their grade.
