BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2026-7th Grade Fall 2020/Summer 2021

That is the greatest thing ever. Complaining that younger kids are playing up in lacrosse. The sport with holdbacks, double holdbacks, post-grad year, and graduate student players. Playing up? What a bunch of cheaters! Especially at the youth level! This is lacrosse those 6th graders should be playing 5th and 4th graders not up against 7th and possibly 8th graders. What a bunch of cheats!

What's the turn out going to be at this??? Who's going? June 19-20 in MD.

Despite losing at East Qualifier and not being one of the six qualifying teams, the Towermen hype video, begging and pleading worked and they are now somehow "invited" to go.

Another example of everything wrong with youth sports today in this everyone gets a trophy day and age.

You were eliminated at the qualifier.

Stay home.

Link?

Beg and plead and you get to go? What a sorry program and bad look for the WSYL if that's true.

It is on their Instagram page as of 2 days ago

Here's the question, who is getting the boot or decided not to go.

I guess there could be some spots available if not enough international teams enter. Also doesn’t make sense that central gets 2 invites when only three teams show up for qualifier.

Just looked and dont see it

And this is a surprise! Don’t be surprised if you see different kids on the sidelines at this event also. Pretty sure it would be no problem to add a kid to a roster for any of these club teams .

Most likely 1 of 4 international spots didn’t get filled and WSYL needed a 24th team. Don’t think anyone was begging, other than WSYL to get all of their spots filled.

This produced video from 2 days ago that starts with the WSYL logo was not begging/pleading?

Here is their announcement from this morning. Clearly weaseled in:

Call it what you will. They lost both on Sunday and beat total cream puffs on Saturday.

Towerpersons had one goal games against Madlax and VLC all star teams. I would not say there are not worthy of a spot. Seems a little arbitrary since True Annapolis also had the bad draw in group D and lost only one against BBL (by 1). I guess NJ is also better than Long Island at this point and will be well represented. There will be a few more shifts before July, have your checkbooks ready.

Sounds like looser talk to me. Winning is winning, regardless of how "close" it was. Based on your rational, why even play each other?

Obviously a spot opened up, WSYL needs to fill it, how do the fill it? They will pick the next best team would be my guess. Nobody was denied a spot.

Every WSYL champ has come from North.

North has always had more teams go than East.

So why are there now 7 going from East and only 6 from North?

#7 from North "lost" a spot.

Why have the qualifiers?

$104,500 gross from East and North qualifiers for 25 and 26.

Please contact WSYL, maybe they can replace a north team that lost a bunch of games with a central or south team.

Nothing but a money grab by the clubs and the WSYL. I'm sure the WSYL started off with good intentions, but it hasn't taken long for the spirit of the event to be tainted by greed and dishonesty by both parties. Same goes for the clubs. They start off about your kids potential and how his club will take them to another level and help get them into a college program. Then they turn into politicians(good intentions to start) and then it's all about the economics to them. $$$$ These programs can't wait until after the WSYL are over and the tryouts for next season start, the top four teams will have an enormous turnout. Every parent/kid wants to play on the best team no matter their talent. $$$$ There is a tremendous amount of talent in the sport beyond club teams and a kid doesn't need to play on a club team to be noticed and to play at the college level.

I would like what you are smoking at 11pm

Who cares?? What team from the North would deserve to be added over the Towermen? Eclipse? FCA Upstate? LI Outlaws?

No Express B still can’t go! Mommy

Really? Explain to me how a kid gets recruited if he is not playing on a club team? Where is the talent that doesn't play on a club team?

Agreed. You are more likely to get recruited through your club team (assuming it is a top team) than you are through your HS team.

True Annapolis would beat all of those teams.

No. They would not. True had four teams in the East U13 Qualifier and not one qualified.

Go back to the Mid Atlantic forum True Dad.

I think it was already stated, but apparently some international teams can not commit so they are taking the next highest seeds to the WSYL.

Didn't true annapolis tie Express?

Here is what is notable.

Towermen played nobody on Saturday.

Only had to win 1 on Saturday to go.

Lost both.

Choked. Stay home.

No pride. Tons of begging. That is what happens when you hide since last July and play no one all fall.

Keep posting self promoting vids.

Not notable because no one on this forum cares about any of these games/teams. North teams would roll right over these.

T-Men finish in top 4 at World Series. Mark my words.

17-4. Hawks over True. We’d rather play Towermen

This woman smoking serious stuff.

Towermen are better than average but clearly will not be in the top 4. There just too many good teams. You can’t lose big games in qualifier as they did. The team just doesn’t have the grit to want to win it. They will go home early.

What is a towermen ?

Any team that shows up and plays 2 great games against any of the tougher teams can change everything in the WSYL. Nothing is predestined. Almost anyone can be a spoiler. Could just be one game that keeps one of the elite teams out of finals. It’s happened before. Good luck to all.

Give it a rest. Express, Hawks, Tigers & Sweetlax are gonna be the top 4. No one is changing that.

blah blah blah-- towermen are an ok team with huge egos! someone always on here running their mouth-- "mark my words" lol you should be embarrassed to go to DC. Even if you run the table there, did you win the world SERIES????

I wish I had the self-esteem of the Towermen! Haha! Rose-colored glasses, for sure!
