He doesn't need one. Heros tryouts are over.

So many jokes here so little time. Why is Skywalkers included. They said decent!.

All of you Skywalkers haters will see soon enough. All of you care so much about how wonderful your youth teams are. Skywalkers is focused on what matters, fundamentals and instruction at this stage. High School is what matters in the long run and the club has proved time and time again they are producing some of the top players in the nation. Good luck to all teams this coming season.

How's everyone's straw grabbing going today?

One of the fundamental elements of lacrosse is learning/being taught how to properly guard an offensive player without pushing her, tripping her, checking her on the head, etc. It seems that this fundamental skill is being left out at skywalkers practices. Hmmmmm........

skywalkers is a joke. angry director. come on if you can't run then don't yell at girls to run, this includes the assistant director. such a poor environment for learning.

All of you doubting SW, take a look at their 21, 20, 19... teams. They keep improving and getting girls committed to fine schools. Their system of emphasizing stick work and conditioning pays off in the long run. The founder's daughter is doing an amazing job with the program and the younger teams. The tryouts have been overrun with girls from other programs. My daughter played for another good Baltimore program and took a step back with regard to playing time when she moved to SW. We have never looked back.

oh god C2 dad is still whining about about this. Get over it and move on

Quessing your girl didn't make an SW team

Seems C2 girls are moving on. Lots of them at other club's tryouts, including Skywalkers.

I couldn't agree with you more. While some of the younger teams might struggle, it is because the organization focuses on team concept tactical offense rather than rely on a "Susie Go To Goal" style offense. Once that is established in the younger years, it pays major dividends once they mature. Too many of the people that post on here are fixated on scores/championships/records, while the college/hs coaches are focused on tactical awareness and mental toughness, which is what SW is all about. Name one other organization at the 2018/2019 level that has the percentage of rosters already committed to D1 schools, and solid ones at that. That will definitely be true for 2020/2021's once their Junior year rolls around.

here's two... M & D and Heros.

Are all tryouts over? Are there any clubs holding supplemental tryouts?

OK, M & D and Heros have great "A" teams, but how about Heros 2018 White? Oh that's right, they don't have 2 teams at that age group. M & D Red 2018/2019? Garbage!

Redshirts and c2 has open slots. For exceptional players Most places you can get a private tryout

Does anyone know whats happening with C2 ? Will they field teams this year?

Yes

They will be fielding two 2022 teams.

Is C2 affiliated with C2C?

Hi newb. No, no affiliation.

Tryouts are over for the most part. It will be interesting to see if there has been much change.

Be very cautious about C2

Don't come on here and say that unless you are going to elaborate.

Please elaborate, oh cryptic one.

where did a lot of diamonds go to? C2?

C2
1. No leadership
2. Directors are poor communicators
3. No regular facilities
4. Great girls though, good players and people

Who cares. It's Diamonds. Anywhere is better than Diamonds, except for maybe Redshirts.

Bad mojo at TLC right now with daddy ball happening again - 21 red went through a huge coaching debacle last year and now the 22s are feeling the parent coaching wrath.

Well this is a developing story...

Looks like some top C2 girls made moves.

what is happening???

tryouts are over...and the hero's smack talk has finally gone radio silent. thank god!

To Arizona?

Don't wake the bear, please.

Please elaborate more

22s have more than just a parent coaching issue.

I am completely baffle as to why some people insist on kicking the sleeping troll.

Hypocrite

I'm surprised about all the movement this year now that tryouts are over. Teams were not set as a poster had mentioned about a month ago. Good luck to everyone!

C2 lost their draw mid to M&D. That will be a big hole to fill.
