What are the details of the Nike deal with Crabs? Free stuff or the typical Under Armour deal where families pay wholesale prices for swag. Our son's program did a UA deal like that and the only freebie is a camps or clinics pinnie. Is this a deal that feeds VLC too? The real treasure trove is events, does this make Crabs a partner in Nike showcase events and tournaments? If that is the case, this is a war to the death between the brands Adrenaline/West Coast Starz vs. Nike/Crabs on the events side. Anyone close enough to know the details?

Crabs deal is a discount apparel arrangement. Same deal Nike gives high schools and some private club programs in soccer. Not a big deal really except for the public relations flair. If other clubs want a $30 wicking t-shirt for $18 they can get them at a Nike outlet store and iron on the club logo. Typical Ryan McClernan, you'd think this was bigger than Ohio State's deal from the twitter traffic.

Good luck using an apparel discount deal to prop your dying influence in the industry up.

You have no idea what you are talking about. If the details were in Crabs interests to brag about they'd brag about it. Kind of pathetic for a club to pump its own tires over getting a good price on t shirts

As far as lacrosse club visibility is concerned, the crabs have to be at or near the top. If Nike wants to influence the lacrosse kids, they really could not have picked a more visible platform for their ads and products. I don't see what there is to argue or complain about. I just hope the $ spreads to other clubs to bring my costs down.

My son now plays for Crabs and Coach Ryan. We came over from a competitor.
The personal attacks are so far off base, it's not even funny.
He could not be more helpful, classy and just great to be around.
He really cares about the kids.
Merry Christmas to ALL!!!!!!!

Interesting no crabs on Ty's 2018 top list. I guess there has been a falling out or that is a weak year for the crabs.

Well, if your son is a good player and is marketable to colleges you may have a good experience. Don't speak for everyone. McClernan's reputation for being classless and treating kids like garbage on the way out is well known and has repeated again and again over the years. Hope your son doesn't break is arm skateboarding a month before fall tryouts and can't attend tryouts, so there goes his spot. What he cares about above all else is himself and his status, and if this statement were incorrect you would not be reading up on the countless negative experiences.

Curious..Is there any soccer forums, baseball forums, football forums, that discuss a sport in Baltimore like lacrosse. Most of the clubs have some remarks made about them,, and Crabs, Madlax, Breakers, etc,etc have many remarks? Is there another sport in Balt with this much detail at youth level online and in forums?

Get over yourself. Worst kept secret in Maryland is McClernan is a bully and a big baby when people don't kiss his arse and roll over and play dead for him. His teams never ever lost games until 4 years ago, and now they they are one of several teams that compete to win tournaments. Madlax 2018s get the better of his team, so do FCA. Why do you think this trend continues that other clubs get stronger and Crabs get weaker each year? Look at the doormat VLC became since he took it over two years ago.

Madlax 2018 got beat badly that last time they face the Crabs. Their OT win last year was a fluke. 2. VLC became much stronger after Crabs bought them. They have more college commits than anyone in the DMV (and Crabs continue to have the most in the Mid-Atlantic). 3. Lacrosse is everywhere not so powerhouse clubs like Crabs and Duke's aren't as dominant as they used to be. That's not headline news. But the Crabs are still one of the top clubs in the country.

Pretty pathetic that in this sport the coaches, parents and other adults actually teach that kids shouldn't care about team, team performance or being a good teammate and should never care about competing to win. Pretty soon prep school teams will talk about how it is no big deal winning their conference or beating their rivals because it is all about being the team with the most commits. I'd rather have my kid look back someday and say he played on championship teams and made all-american. The fact that you are enough of a loser to post that pretty much tells me you never did anything in a sport because nobody who did would write such a thing.

I am sure you really lit it up at the 6th grade spelling bee and then again in the middle school floor hockey league. You and McClernan should have a pizza eating contest to get seen and noticed. Loser.

Really these teams have tryouts 2 to 3 times a year. And 90% of the kids play for there local or school teams thats where winning and team sucess matters. These teams are like the Pro Bowl in football. And one of the biggest parts of being seen is being a team player and the Scouts look and see that. But for us to come on here and agrue over which team is better is a joke. The turnover is nutts for all these teams. They should play to win the games but to act like if the Crabs go 15-0 or 14-1 the kids will be less offers is nuts. All the team sites talk about getting your kid to the next level not winning medels.

Show me a kid who does not care about winning, or has been urged not to by his parents or coaches, and I will thank you and move down the list of kids to recruit. The ones you want have ability and passion to win. Need both. Nothing worse than a kid obsessed with individual accolades on a team.

I never said winning is not important and the kids do want to win with everthing they got. But as a parent of lets say a goalie who is the 5th best in the state of maryland. And there is the 1st ranke goalie playing for the Crabs do you have your son play for the crabs? or do you play for the Hawks.....etc?

It will be interesting to see if they put as much into development and practices as other clubs, or just focus on recruiting and visibility like with the older kids.

Unless he is a holdback from 1st grade he will probably get bumped later by a reclassify or holdback later. Odds are against you with Crabs unless you are older.

Of the 21 kids that played for the Crabs 2018 U13 team two seasons ago - only 7 of them are on the current 2018 team. Approximately 7 of last year's 2018 U15 Crabs are repeating U15 again this year and are now 2019 players for the Crabs. The Crabs jettison and reload because they can. What are the odds of my kid that made the 2022 crabs team still bring on the same team when in highschool. Is it better to play for crabs at younger age or older ages.
