BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2021 Fall 2013/Summer 2014

Ha. If you are pissed about their 2021 ages wait until you get a look at the 2022 ages.
On a serious note until lacrosse comes together and goes to a strictly age based U cut off (SOCCER ALREADY THERE)these disputes will rage on forever. Kids move in and out of LI all the time with different age cutoffs from other states, even NYC. Kids on the grade "cusp", especially boys, are held back so they dont lag behind academically at early years. The only thing that will even the playing field is strict age based requirements. My kid is a late year birthday and kids playing in the grade under him are only weeks and a few months behind him.

OK, you win. That will be the end of it. Somehow the 91 kids are older. You win. You caught us. They are all older by a couple of months, they all happened to select 91 as their club of choice, and whenever they beat another team, we can all not dispute this, because they are all older than the kids who selected other clubs. 91 slides them down one age, and Express filters their best players from 3 teams, sending them to play the game of the day, regardless of the roster. These are the reasons for all of the wins.

YOu sound like my wife when logic ruins her argument. I could care less about who wins or loses. But when people point to TLI or Igloo and says they have unfair advantage its IDIOTIC because 91 and Express and Outlaws and many others have kids JUST as old if not OLDER. Lets all REMEMBER who started CRYING claiming UNFAIR. In reality the kids on these teams average out to to the same age. In my town the grade below me has a kid who was left back and is wreaking havoc on the filed, but under you logic that okay because he plays his GRADE. By US lax rules he would be uneligable for that team. Thats why in baseball many kids end up playing with kids in the grade above, they have strict birth date rules as does football . To not bring thos up when complaining about Igloo is pushing aside facts that show your argument that Igloo is comprised of older kids may NOT be true. A kid born in August and held back would NOT be eligible for Igloo 2021 buy WOULD be eligible for 91.

Uneligible? I think you are late for your Mensa meeting.

The kids had fun, that's who won!!!

Port Washington in the mix also

At least Port is a true town team. Mineola takes kids from a wide area (i.e. other PAL towns). The Mineola "school district" is a fallacy when it comes to PAL. The powers that be have been notified but yet they continue to look the other way.

Massapequa should be in top five.

Both Mineola teams have kids from other towns, and continue to actively recruit. Stop justifying. If other small towns poached from other towns they could play in higher divisions also. Doesn't make it right.
