You can complain about a lot of players in a team. It does help with practice and scrimmaging within a team. Not saying kids shouldn't all get field time. In this area it was helpful to have Koopers league too since one 40m a week game goes fast. Not sure why that isn't running but it was helpful.

But the Koopers Club is (sort of) separate from the (former) Koopers/St Pauls league.

Several clubs have tried and failed to grow a 2028 team in MD. Maybe it's because 91 and NL now want to put 30 kids on the roster. Maybe it's because FCA's new model is like girls lax, with their 3x 2028 teams. I think part of it is that (some of) the rec clubs are putting better coaching, facilities, and opportunities in front of their players than in the past, and defections won't hit until after 8th grade.


Totally agree, we are newer to the lacrosse world. But have seen how hard it is for historically great clubs to get 2028 teams. Leaving some kids with 3rd string spots for a plethora of reasons not their fault. Breakers, green turtle, Koopers.. all struggled looneys too..
