BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025-8th Grade Fall 2020/Summer 2021

Correct. My nephew played at Lehigh. No scholarship, but lacrosse helped him and his very good GPA and SAT get into a school that requires a very, very good GPA and SAT.

"holdbacks" Enough already....Only thing being held back is your wallet and your free time. If your kid's team cannot compete against a team that has a few kids that are older by a few months then his team probably shouldnt be there in the first place. Just sayin.... Its so lame listening to these kind of gripes. "Johnny wont get his t shirt because Club A had 3 hold backs...." GET OVER IT The good teams welcome any challenge, not make excuses.


....Well. why don't those given 3 kids who are held back play at their own grade level and "accept the challenge"? In fact if you use your own logic, those 3 kids should be "accepting the challenge" and playing up one grade, not dropping down.

I agree but I am not a director, coach or aspiring parent ... They all have different motives..... thats why the whole tournament has become a joke and we, the people, are the clowns....

I dont know. My son's team has 3 "holdbacks". They are all May through Aug birthdays. I'm not even sure if that fits the holdback definition. I know the parents well enough and the kids all started pre K late on purpose. I cant imagine they were looking at having an advantage in HS lacrosse at that point.

No Super teams allowed!

This is why this will be the last year of this silly tournament

The Madlax Monuments World Series Teams will compete in the World Series of Youth Lacrosse June 30-July 3, 2021!
This is a loaded and pure DMV Team made up of the most talented players from the DMV from any and all clubs.
Both 14U & 13U Teams are open to any new outstanding players from any club team. There will be no conflicts with your current club team schedule. This is in addition to it.

No different than Express pulling the top kid(s) from programs throughout LI, Westchester and Connecticut.

Anything to skirt the rules. In full view of WSYL and no response. The whole event is dirty and just about the money. That's why they kept the 14u this year. They didn't have to refund the money and kept the clubs on the hook for another year. WINNING

Only 2 required practices it says on their website.

Where's Jake?!? His bank account Won't Quit!

Again, cant blame the clubs, the directors, Jake, tee shirt vendors, etc Blame the parents who view this "event" as something meaningful. Sheep always get eaten by wolves. Baaaaaahhhhhh!

Super teams are totally unacceptable!

The WSYL organization must protect the integrity that this tournament was founded upon.

The WSYL actions here now will determine its long-term sustainable success. Do NOT update the rules next year...they were simply guidelines to prevent super teams.

Send a clear message to the lax community: “Bring your team to compete for the title on an equal playing field.”

Now refund that team’s money and it will continue to flow in for many years to come.

Fair competition. Protect it!!!

Dude needs a life

This is a loaded and pure DMV Team made up of the most talented players from the DMV from any and all clubs. On their website. Call Jake! This is blatant. Wouldn't it be amazing for Madlax to have to give back the money you know they charged all these families already, since they violated the detailed rules.

If the clubs had any stones they'd pull their teams out. They won't. They'll keep selling you on the competition and experience being good for the kids. How is this a positive experience when the deck is stacked against you.
Good luck against regional all star teams. Luckily our team won't make it past our qualifier. WSYL shame on you.

It doesnt matter. Neither Madlax or Black Ops win it.

Jake is the only winner..... wake up

Remember people. Travel and quarantine rules still in effect since we're going to DE. Tests before, quarantine for 3 days and test on day 4 after returning. If you don't test on day 4 you MUST quarantine for 4 days. King Cuomo is tracking, and don't think for a minute your kids friends won't rat you them to the schools. Show of hands how many of you "honest" individuals will abide.

Stay less than 24 hours and quarantine does not apply. Business trip!

Cuomo the Tyrant isnt worried about tracking any longer. Hes too busy lying and covering his tracks. Go to tournaments and have fun with your kids.

👌

ITS A 2 DAY TOURNAMENT! ATTITUDES LIKE YOURS EXACTLY WHY WE'LL BE STUCK WITH THESE RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE SUMMER. KIDS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TEST POSITIVE SINCE THEY WONT BE VACCINATED UNTIL NEXT YEAR. YES I'M YELLING AT YOUR SELFISH AND IGNORANT ATTITUDE.

Noone will abide. Hence the issue. But its all for a great cause: 14 yr old kiddie lax....Im hoping to boost my self esteem, live vicariously thru my kid and not contract Covid at the same time. Heck, Ill even get a day off from pumping cesspools. At least we will get to hang out with the same parents we see at every LI tournament, game, playdate or whatever the new "code name" is for it now. Lax is life!

Proven scientific fact. The lower your IQ the greater chance you have a getting covid. I believe this thread proves that point.

Several states -- Delaware, Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon and West Virginia -- have seen their case averages increase by at least 25% in the last week.

WSSE World Series SuperSpreader Event

Cant wait to see who the 14 yr champ is so we can all forget who "won" it by next week! Who won it the year before last?

Mic drop

24 hour trip out of an adjoining state of NY. I can tell you that I know of a hotel in NJ that is booked with lacrosse families. Don't be so ignorant and if you're yelling at a computer you need help mom.

Yes I am a mom and you are an absolute fool. The tournament is in Delaware. Are you really that desperate that you will refuse to quarantine because you'll claim you we in NJ not DE. If you've lost someone due to the virus maybe you would feel differently but there is no sense trying to change your simple mind.

Is this a serious post? For North region I would assume it will be structured in a way that teams are there for less than 24 hours. Afternoon start Saturday and Sunday morning games. Jake has our backs.

Anyone that hung up on a kiddie lax tourney, out of state, during a pandemic cannot be reached. They see and believe what they want: Like their kid is an all star.... but yet never plays..hmmmmmm

Of course he does. Good luck with that. Corona please, hold the lime

Sounds good Karen. Go hide in Biden’s basement.

restrictions will be gone by 4/1.. Plus, you are a fool to think any of these protocols are making a difference. Florida and other states have been playing tournaments and none of these restrictions were in place and their numbers are much better than ours. Show the science that proves these restrictions help . i have lost people to the flu, to covid and other things as well. We cant be afraid living our lives anymore.. TIME TO LIVE

^^ Crazy person alert right here ^^

Do I agree with the rules, not really. Do I agree they make a difference, debatable. What message does this send to our kids that the rules don't apply to us because they play lacrosse. Oh I forgot, lax is life. Red solo cup, fill me up.

You must be the person that says they never speed on the road. You're so good. Hopefully, your kids don't see you speeding. It would be such a bad example. Cannot wait for my red solo cup. May go down a day early and sit in the bleachers with it.

14U WSYL North tournament schedule... https://lacrosse.exposureevents.com/164109/2021-wsyl-north-qualifier/schedule

Wow Some of these team have no shot. Too late for a refund?

A bracket easier path. Much better teams on B side

i have no problem following rules when they make sense. MOST DO NOT.
