Might have missed something but this shows Madlax Capital playing, not Monuments.

My understanding was both age groups are playing in Delaware the following weekend.

Note that Black Ops is the only age based team playing in an early season tournament with grade based club teams. All grade based clubs will have holdbacks, or older kids that wouldn’t make the age cutoff for the WSYL. Hats off to them for challenging themselves.

LI Express will eat all of our local teams for lunch. They don't have holdbacks up there, so these LI teams are chomping at the bit to get a piece of true aged based teams from the mid atlantic!

It is odd that Monument has not announced its roster or any practices/events. I wonder if they are abandoning these teams, or banking on the pre-holiday rumors that WSYL is not happening this year.

ML only has one true holdback and 3 age out for sure. total of 4....

Are you just curious because Black Ops is? It will be interesting to see how BO goes up against LI Express. You forget the majority of the Madlax Monuments team have essentially played together for years.

Could be a rude awakening.

I think you meant to say Madlax team has been relying on holdbacks for years.

Actually was referring to Black Ops. All the area programs have been relying on holdbacks to varying degrees. Monuments is at least largely pairing people familiar with the same system as opposed to an “all star” team that has to learn how to play together.

Of the top 20 players on MadLax 2026, how many are too old for WSYL?

ML Monument aka CAP teams opted to play cupcakes in DE instead of playing in the March Kickoff Invitation by Next Level.

I am not following why you think it is funny, but you are hearing correctly and that there will likely be cross-movement between MadLax and VLC, plus movement involving DCE and NextLevel. And some reclassing from 25 to 26, and from 26 to 27. It always happens in 7th and 8th grade but it will likely happen more than ever this year. Personally I do not expect True to be a factor for the elite level players, but we shall see. But your son's team may have a different look in the fall than it does today.
