Worst guess ever! Try again....

None of the API players will go over to the HAWKS but it's fun have your son wanted by the Hawks .My son giving up a spot for your holdback ..

Hawks 2022 will be full of holdbacks for this fall and next spring. They had quite a few this past spring but we all know how it goes with the Hawk faithful, "we have no holdbacks, that is not how our program is designed/organized". To that the youth club lacrosse community says BS.

Hawks tryouts were the place to be. If you aren't playing Hawks, you are wasting your time.

Pretty sure only 2 will be offered a spot and they will accept.

You can have the others back.

So you came to learn from the best club program?

Lot of holdbacks there. They will deny it but hard to when there are 3 goalies with Hawks helmets LOL Hard to hide that one guys. Let the hold Back parade continue.

Doesn't sound like he was hiding from you.

Detective holdback

Are you saying your son was the API Goalie?

While there was a hawks holdback goalie, the hawks holdback defense didn't show and I didn't hear of any others.

A couple Diamondbacks were there, but they may have just been testing the water - they'd likely give up some playing time if they made the move.

So a new holdback goalie? That is on top of the holdback goalie that was already on the team?

Impossible that there was a hold back goalie, since the Hawks don't have or promote holdbacks. You must have been imagining this lol

Once all of these shakes out where do the teams meet up for a fall play day?

Learn from the best program . You mean Duke's . Yes my son plays for them too. 10-4

You play the in a JV high school game in the fall

I do feel bad for the Hawks player's that are not holdbacks you have to find a new team because you won't get any playing time or play on the B team

So, the youth lacrosse community would really like to know and call BS to why API players would be trying out for a team that they would never play for? Or play for again. Just to be clear you are just trying out because its fun with no intent to actually accept a spot if offered? When there are many young boys whom really want to play for the club and parents that are actually good people. (not snakes in grass )Why the API dads continue to come on here and bash well known and respected club across the country. Holdbacks or not, 90% of 8th grade teams will have holdbacks this year . That argument is old and is only brought up when bad mouthing other teams that your kid doesn't play for. But when it comes to the Dukes team which is almost all holdbacks that your kids play for it's perfectly ok. So which is it? Wait , also jumping ship from a team and talking smack about a program that your kids have been on for 4 years just to try out for teams that you really have no intent on playing for but want everyone to know your kid was offered a spot, all the while playing for a National team and recruiting for them. Please don't ever act like you are speaking for the youth lacrosse community when you act and speak the way you do about they young men that play on these teams. Its comical to sit and watch these post cause it sounds like you know an awful lot about the Hawks and the bitterness amusing. Speaks volumes about your character ~
Thanks for making youth lacrosse try outs so amusing with your bitterness , you made it clear how much fun you are having being a deceitful lier.

Save us your pity, seriously. The young men will be just fine no matter where they play. Especially being as far away from creeps like yourself.

Good try loser, just trying to make it easier for when you boy is cut from tryouts...or is he just doing the circuit and playing for the Dukes like you told everyone at tryouts. Trust me, everyone knows you and your son aren't welcome, just a cancer to every team you guys are around! Please don't come back Tuesday!!!!!

Good grief, all those words to deny what is going on with Hawks, just amazing. Just so you know I'm not associated with API or Dukes, neither is my son. You sound like a Hawk dad and as such you and other parents are only exposed to little of what goes on in the youth lacrosse club teams. When you either are a coach or director of another team/program you are exposed to much more information about what is happening with other teams, down so far as to what players are staying or moving to a new team, which players are going to play down etc. You will be surprised the flow of information. Youth club lacrosse is a small community. So again, Hawks 2022 will be loaded with holdbacks this coming fall and spring 2018. Stop the denial, it makes you look foolish and further confirms how much of a liar you are. Ok Hawks dad.

The Hawks like EVERY ELITE TEAM take the best kids who meet hoco and 99% of all tournament eligibility rules. You are not getting any sympathy from anyone by accusing a team of FOLLOWING THE RULES.

You mean the one that is a rising 7th grader and could play 2023? Once again you prove your ignorance with every post.

Why do API players always tryout for Hawks and never take a spot when offered?

given the recruiting changes are kids still re-doing a year in school at this age group? Wouldn't it make more sense to play on age or even play up and get better and then make a reclass decision later?

Are they really offered a spot? I've watched both teams play for many years as a coach and a parent and I only see 2 players on the API team that could actually compete at the level the Hawks are on. In my opinion non of the others are upgrades.

You only know what you hear on the parent sidelines.

Stick to taking pictures.

Denial? Where in the post does it deny anything. Your comeback is weak and totally ignores the post. Just more bashing of a club that you are bitter towards. Your holdback jab is for the birds . If you want to play on an Elite 8th grade team this year than 90%of the teams will have at least 1 holdback player on it. That is a small fact in the small lax club community. It furthers proves who you are and how lame you are. Thanks again for the amusement.

How was all the other tryouts this weekend.
Crabs?
RR?
FCA?
89+2?

It sounds like Hawks was a good turn out. A little positive feed back would be good. Going to be another very competitive year fro this age group.
I think this site is over the hatred API dads have for the Hawks. You have made it very clear . The rest of the lax community doesn't care.

The only amusement to date is this lame post. Keep defending the face that Hawks 2022 will be loaded with holdbacks, not just one, more like 7 to 8. Known fact. You need to just stay on the sidelines and watch the game, you are very far out of the loop. Hawk dads just keep up their denial.

Is 2022 89 + 2 the team to beat again this year. Looks like they were the best overall last year. Did MM lose any due to his behavior?

Funny how you mentioned only 1. If you have a 2023 goalie then it is the other goalie who is the hold back.

LOL. Yes, 6 kids and 2 coaches left. Less than 20 kids came to tryouts. Wouldn't expect too much from 9D1 this year. Filled in with cast offs from other clubs.

Crabs - 30 kids
RR - 35 kids
FCA - 70 kids
9D1 - 20 kids

RR is getting some of the 9D1 kids that fill in the weak spots. RR will be strong .

just not true

LMAO - so an Arden parent thinks they are in the Hawks loop?

Someone thinks they are important.

Don't need to be in the Hawks loop. The kids all know each other. When a kid that used to be in a grade ahead of them suddenly is in their grade, then they kind of figure out he's a holdback. And when they are in the same grade and a kid has a birthday in April and is older than they are, they kind of figure out they are a holdback at some point.

Stop being stupid about this. Everyone knows who the older kids are.

Don't forget about the 91MD - 91TX connection. Possibly 91NC kids now also?

And a fogo coach.
