No big surprises this weekend. Results were as expected based off final rankings last year.

SW did not belong in the A bracket.
Having the winner of A play winner of B is really poor. The big game was MDU vs M&D and M&D did their thing. No reason to have a Crush 30/31 squad get sacrificed like that
B bracket should have been YJMA, SW, Blue Star, Crush and Legends
That was not the B bracket. There were two A level brackets, the top tier, and mid-tier A teams. The rest were for B teams. Whoever came out of the top tier A bracket was going to win the championship. Thinklax sets up all their tournaments the same way. Not a big fan of it.

They should be the best team in the B bracket!
Kudos to Sky Walkers for jumping into the top division, but YJMA should swap with them.
It's a new season. SW could have gotten better.
Looking back at last years NGLL scores it would have to be a wholesale reboot but again love seeing them take on the challenge and not hide from competition
After today it seems the SW assessment of being in the wrong bracket was correct.

I see, so it just may help with getting admission into the school but you're still paying up full price unless you qualify for fin aid separately.

I gotta assume SW 30 is in the bracket based off the strength of their older grad years and club rep, this isn't something the 2030 team itself controls.
For the Thinklax Tournaments, the teams get to select the level. Choices are 1A to 5A (most difficult) . I remember seeing the sign up sheet when it was posted before. SW signed up for 5A. I also remember YJMA signed up for 3A.
Typical YJMA move

I don't understand the middle school recruiting events. Do kids get actual scholarship to go play for middle school/or high school private school teams?
Middle school admissions can be very competitive, especially at K to 12 schools. Having a coach take interest and advocate internally for your child can be the difference in being admitted vs getting waitlisted.
I think this is more about getting on a coaches radar now, and hopefully when you get to HS, that coach will look at for that kid because they "recruited" them.

I’m under the impression that there are some schools that offer partial scholarships for athletes. Is this not the case?
Not an official scholarship. Merit based aid is available to offset the outrageous cost of private school.
Merit aid may be available at certain private schools in the DC Area for academic high achievers. At some schools, the only aid available is financial aid. Scholarships for girls high school lacrosse players is not a thing, at least not at the schools that are good at lacrosse.
