Dont Forget Rambo . He is under the radar after shaving his beard,. Little Husky, but looks on age now.

Not a Hawks fan either but doesn't it just mean they have on-age depth that might struggle against the other Elite teams with graduation year holdbacks?

Dunno... on age backup goalies are a hot commodity, this is not a dig, this is just what I have heard about when teams are pulling from their home area for this event.

Assuming you are in MD/VA, that would mean that Madlax Monuments, VLC Black Ops and the Hawks contacted you since they would be the only 3 close enough to reach out. What team does your son play for? Why did he decline?

Call me crazy, but they dont appear to struggle against he 2026 holdbacks on elite teams when they play them

My Kid was contacted by minus 3 teams...That is, 3 teams said if they were contacted by him, they would refuse him a place on team. He is at this time Hitting The Wall !!

HAHA, sounds like your attack kid was trolled by their goalie.

Actually all the goalie b.s. talk started from express- You know they are nervous they arent going to make the final at wsyl no matter how easy they have it set up for them .

Yawn

Has anyone heard when the HoCo games that were postponed on 3/28 will be made up?

Sounds like next Saturday for some at least.

Not just elite players being contacted by top MIAA coaches. But don’t let it hurt your bottom.

What?

My kid wasn’t contacted. What do you need to do to get contacted?

As everyone says....”hit the wall”

Yeah a random thought or a rply to a post without quoting it

I told my son to do that, and how his hand is in a cast and he is going to miss the HoCo season. Hopefully will be back in time for summer tournaments.

Oh God, sorry you have to go back a page.

Sure taking a long time to announce who qualified from North and East... 🤔🤔🤔

There is currently an audit on going over player eligibility documentation.

Running to store for popcorn!

My kid wasn’t contacted. What do you need to do to get contacted?

Pay $32k a year and they will contact you.

Has to be Black-Ops; like I said in a previous post holdbacks galore on the time!!

So 4 teams get to qualify. Pretty good odds compared to East and North.

I thought the East was already announced and Hawks, Black Ops, and Monuments all made it. Certainly their parents all think they did because it was all over social media. Has WSYL not yet announced who qualified???

Jake's getting the magnifying glass out? They should require passports and have a player check in at the event, problem solved. Disqualified if your team is caught cheating, pretty simple.

Seems to me that anybody who would actually know about an audit would not be posting about it on BOTC. Care to share any details that might bolster your cred?

I think the poster was being sarcastic.

Hasn't been posted yet on site or Social Media as it was for other regions. Karen's must be out in full effect protesting!

Everyone on Black Ops is on age.

Right, but they did combine clubs which is obviously against the rules.

Not trying to stir up anything but rosters just had to reflect residency within 100 miles of the home team correct?... So BlackOps players just needed to be within 100 miles of VLC. Speaking as a parent on a team that lost to them maybe their formation isn't exactly in the spirit of the event, but I didn't think rules had been broken. I think CLCA teams Top Caliber and Team MD formed a team for 14U

Did you think some of those kids were ineligible? I know 1 defenseman that is 14 and it’s just a matter of time before that comes out.

I was going to post a 'Nevermind' because I see that under ELIGIBILITY RULES – UNITED STATES TEAMS

"All players must compete with their team or program on a regular basis. Players cannot be added only to participate in the WSYL and teams cannot be formed out of a partnership or alliance between two or more standalone clubs. The intention of this rule is prevent the formation of all-star teams for the purpose of participating in the WSYL." ETC ETC

But that was a recent change, sorry I am late to the party if this has been hashed out already, I was going by what I remembered. https://web.archive.org/web/20201021222405/https://worldseriesofyouthlacrosse.com/rules/

I don't think Black Ops will be DQ'd under the rule against combining teams. WSYL knew what they were doing and should have said something prior to qualifiers if it was a problem.

But, if Black Ops really did use a 14 year old player or somebody outside of 100 miles, that is another story. Because they violated the spirit of the event by combining 3+ teams, nobody will cut them any slack on the black and white rules.

All the dads of the teams that didn't make it simply can't get over it..... move on people. Focus on next year if this is that important to you.

If you read the rules it says that the WSYL will enforce the rules at their own discretion. There is no audit. That is Fake News people. The WSYL doesn’t have the manpower or the money to spend on this. There are like 4 people in the organization, the last thing they want to do is look at 400 kids passports and reports cards.

So everyone's "Hard on" is for Black Ops?? Good! Love it!

Duh. Said it hours ago that the original poster was being sarcastic. Truly comical bunch. Can we back to spring league trashing?
