This ends the conversation. I would like all Boston, Maryland Upstate Etc,, to just get off this forum. Once again on age we see that the Long Island Talent is the best around every year, year in and year out. That includes the A and B teams, so leave the discussion to Long Island, their B teams crush any other areas teams that are around, there are just much better players of age in Long Island then anywhere else in the country. Express and some of the larger orgs 91, etc, they are the flavor because they were their first so all talent that is developed on the other teams filters its way to them. But the body as a whole Long Island just has better lacrosse then anywhere in the country. Hands down, mic drop. Beat Sweetlax by one. Let's not crown the island as the greatest because of one tournament Sweetlax has been so close in many games against Express and will beat them soon, Tiger beat Express by a lot in March and should have at NLF a month ago, and Hawks beat them at NAL, so it is great that all the tournaments are very close and ranks will change based on the latest tournament. Right now it is Express, Tigers, Sweetlax, VLC, Hawks. Whose is at the NLF tournament coming up? Says the same guy who wrote: You heard it here first…an upstate team will win the WSYL tournament this year. Please let the smack talk and excuses stop. It’s very sad. Classic keyboard warrior response lol. LIE has beaten Sweetlax multiple times and the games are generally some of the most competitive games you’ll see at this age bracket. Either way, LIE has proven to be the best “on age” team by winning the WS. Sweetlax came up short, but has beaten virtually everyone else they’ve played, including the tigers. I’m sure many of the top teams will come to the NLF with their assortment of holdbacks, but this tournament clearly showed who the top “on age” teams are. Congrats to all the kids that left it all on the field at the WS… truly inspiring.

Lame that infomercial Jake and the wsyl didn't acknowledge the 2 all world teams awarded at half time. Pretty sure I heard Jake say, " be sure to tune in on the 4th to watch the game. Other parts of the tournament will be highlighted as well"

2025 91 won the World Series with a kid from Texas. He was the MVP. Little league World Series is more real than lacrosse. Texas! Is this true? No, it’s not true. The “kid from Texas” is a kid who has lived on LI and played with 91 for years. His family relocated to Tx a few months ago, but since he was on the 2020 roster to go to the WSYLAX and that event was canceled he was able to continue to play with 91 for this year’s event.

WSYL proved the Hawks are a second rate program who are nothing without there holdbacks. They steamroll everyone during the regular tournament play but then get exposed when the tournaments are age appropriate.

And the 25 Team91 mvp is from TX. He’s from LI, part of the 91 team for years. His family had to move to Tx a few months ago and he was able to continue to play with his team this year for the WSYLAX because he was on the roster and supposed to go to the WSYLAX with them last year before it got canceled.

No. I would say it's on par with holdbacks. They don't belong on the team. Not the same… you simply need to be within 100 miles of the clubs home base according to the WS rules. Many CT cities fall within that guidance. holdbacks dominate lacrosse and is a bigger deal around this age group because if the physical differences. This fades out at the older levels when kids catch up physically, but definitely an advantage through tenth grade for majority of players.

Also agree that more WSYL hurdles and enforcement is needed to prevent the formation of super teams.

the point is not that express won the World Series, the point is there has never been a team other then a Long Island team to win the World Series. I dont agree with the poster who talks about all the talent going to 91 and express, we know that. I am talking about Long Island Lacrosse so all the way down the line if you take the top 20 teams from Long Island against the top 20 teams from any area, Long Island will have the strongest pool of teams. and of course if the talent goes to the top Long Island Still has the strongest there, albeit closer because you are moving it up to just a few teams, No region can produces as many decent teams and talent pool. Period.

Kudos to WSYL for doing it on age and verifying. Wish more tournaments do this. It is a joke that when I go to my 2027 soms tournaments and he is 5'2 which is in rhe 80th percentile in height and a few teammates 2 or 3 inches taller which are 90-100th percentile for 12...then we show up and these tournaments largely fron out of state schools and with a straight face they say their nearly 6 footer is 12?!? Not only do they have 1 bjt probably 4-6 on the team! Yea right. Joke

Period. I should know better than to address this with any sense of intelligence but this statement is so off base that I can't help myself. There are over 3 million people on an island that stretches about 120 miles. If you include Brooklyn and Queens, along with the close proximity to CT, the pool to draw top players is enormous. Hence, this is why there are so many club teams on the island. There are not many other states in the country that could get that many club teams within that distance to practice regularly, which is needed to develop and compete at a high level. Yes, there are some awesome club teams on the island, along with many inferior teams that struggle to compete at the elite level. A little perspective and some basic math would tell you that you have a sheer numbers advantage to draw players.
