Since you are only here to poundd your chest, realize that others are here to pat your back. If your kid is on age and starts on a top 5 elite team, he is a talented player. Be proud of him. Recognize that people do have legitimate issues with clowns whose kids were not good enough or smart enough to play on age like your son. Unlike you, they chose to stack the deck for their kids . However , I am with you. Me and a coupe guys from the gym went to play a bunch of 3rd graders in kickball down on the play ground. We smoked them. It was awesome! But it's all good because Joey only reads at a second grade level so it's just like the kids who failed back.

Congratulations to the Tigers they deserved it, Hawks also played well, as did Express Channie, Crabs played clown teams and should have been 0-3 if they played Hawks, Express, and Tigers.

Relax Express and Crabs missing 5+ starters for each team. These teams love the detest though lol

How would teams be missing 5+ starters?

A kid born in August or July is that much of a threat to you? What about the kid born in September? He would be only a few weeks younger, but that is okay.

Express was missing key players because they were at the 13U WSYL North Qualifiers. Look at USCL's IG page yesterday. #99 is front and center on one of their posts.

They had better players and coaches on the field that day. Let it go and move on, you will be better for it.

That's fine, but we're talking about Express North's egg that they put up yesterday.

Some of the kids that they had at UMASS were probably busy with their HS team this weekend.

Played them at Umass and this team was small compared to the team over the summer. Just goes to show you that the roster changes all the time just to win big tourneys

It's not your fault, it's not your fault. Keep letting it out. This is good therapy

I think this is very close and I would agree the Hawks are still the team to beat in HOCO - Crabs was not impressive at all yesterday.

Leading Edge should replace BBL on that list. Thunder has no business on that list at all.

MadDog, BBL? Not great teams. Mohicans played better. Let's see how spring goes. Summer will be the real test.

LXC should be top five with 2025 moving down again. Mad Dog National won three yesterday and beat the Hawks last summer. BBL much improved with 2025 moving down. Who have Mohicans beat?

I would like to know how many 2026 teams can claim they are ALL 2026 grads with no reclass on team. I know 1 Sweetlax upstate.

I think it may be a bit premature to say that everyone is looking up at the tigers. Sweetlax has added new players and is stronger than ever and has not lost to them in 2 years.

Eat your L again and move on. It's what happens when coaches know how to attract talent and build.

I still don't understand. Why is it that Lax is the only sport where you kid "holds back a year " to prove how good he is. every other sport I know of you "play up a year when you are good. My "real 2026" is competing for a starting job on his varsity team in the Rochester NY area. Maybe I should hold him back? That will definitely show everyone how good he is.. ROFL

Tigers, Express and Hawks all still pretty even. Express was missing 3 key players on Sunday. Hawks had it tied or a 1 goal game vs Tigers when they put back up goalie in. We'll see them all play again soon enough.

Dads you realize kids are trolling you on this board? Let your kid play and enjoy it. Kids on the field become friends as it should be.

You are delusional if you think holding back a kid only happens in lacrosse. Go watch an AAU basketball game. Go watch National Preps wrestling. Go watch UA Football Combine. It happens every where, in every sport. Its part of our culture, like it or not. Happy that your 8th grader is varsity ready. Speaks more to the (lack of) talent of the high school players than to that of your kid tho.

So your 8th grader is competing for a varsity spot on his High School team? I am sure Duke is already giving him looks right? SMH

No, he said his 8th grade age kid, who is in 9th grade is competing for a starting spot.

You really aren't expecting the holdback Dad to be the kind of person who is encouraging reading or accurate fact-checking, are you?

If his son can't read and do school work on an 8th grade level it probably flows from somewhere.

Or is he saying the 8th grader is competing for a varsity spot? Some schools outside the MD area allow 8th graders to play varsity.
