Did you write material for Bob Hope? Cutting edge work, there.

He's a little young and small for a certain Md. team!!

If he was my son, I would put him on 2021 team even if he is a little young for Crabs 2021 team..

the reason August tryouts are not good was experienced by many at tryouts this weekend, mid nineties and 2 hours on a lacrosse field is stupid..

How is that any different than what they will play in a tournament setting? Many times games are back to back, in 90 plus degree weather and they can sometimes go 3-5 games in a day if they make it to a championship. The kids are trying out for a SUMMER TOURNAMENT team.

My kids and many others have been attending camps, clinics and private sessions in this weather all summer long. Yes, it is hot, but the kids have been playing in it and doing fine. Get the try outs over and done with so parents know what team their kid is on, when and where they will practice, what Fall tournaments are on the horizon and it lets the kids concentrate on school right from the start.

Concentrate on school, yeah that's the reason for the 100 degree august tryouts. Good one.

The reason is simple all these greedy organizations want as many kids and make as many teams as possible A B C D E. Please don't kid yourself into believing this is for real. If your kid is not on the A team don't waste your money or your time!!! It's all about the $$$$. They are laughing all the way to the bank!!!

Agreed- the move is to keep in line with all the clubs- trying to get the kids first. That said- no one should complain about the weather. The kids played in it all summer long. If you are ever going to do showcases and prospect days- be prepared to play in 90 plus degree weather and 30 degree weather. Coaches do not care if you think it is too hot or cold.

The showing at the tryouts today was awesome and A lot of various different helmets at each tryout

And if anyone calls you on it just remember the Crabs' motto..."no rules were broken"

Baseball players don't complain about the heat. this sport is way too watered down if you are complaining about heat. my god man I am 47yo and ran 6 miles yesterday, just drink enough water and take a break when you can, then jump in the pool.

We need to whine because it's frustrating when you have to play against older kids all the time. Team is going to pick up a few "holdbacks" this year because a number of kids are repeating 8th grade. Sad that this is what it's come to and all because of the MD private schools trying to game the system.

Thank You for the sounds words of advice Crabbie Daddy!

2020 Express Wolverines taking up to 10 new kids

Terps
wolverines
barracudas

Also known as Teams 1, 2 and 3.

Or a,b and c

How did the tryouts go for all the 2020s

went great, thanks.

Hearing a lot of movement from Express terps many people not happy with the Dad coaches

Is anyone ever happy with Dad coaches? One of the worst aspects of youth sports.

They are not happy now because reality sets in when you see dad kids getting more playing time when they don't deserve it!!! Just because dad is the coach... It's all fun and games until it effects you...daddy coaches equals a cancer..almost as bad as keeping kids on the team just because they know people. I don't know which is worse.

I don't know why anybody would try out for express terps right now sounds like team is going to implode

Hasn't it always been this way? Why would kids be driven away now?

However, I do agree, watching better players take a back seat on any team, not just Terps, is frustrating, but it does happen all over so bound to happen at other teams they go to.

Team is getting better, cutting some of the dead wood and picking up some strong kids, core of team staying put from what i hear.

Dead wood means starting with the middie coach but we all know that is not going to happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you say strong players do you mean kids that are in 8 th grade are going to do 8th grade again and play kids that are younger than them HOLDBACKS!! When you are 14 playing against 13 year olds doesn't mean you are getting better. Means you are playing down to get an advantage or your kid is dumb and needs more help in school. CALL IT HOW IS!!

Wow!!!!!! I guess the terps are going to implode. Those replies are definitely coming from the inside.

If you're a parent on Terps I'd consider you "dead wood" for making such a stupid comment. Every kid on that team can play. They may not all be among the most elite in the nation, but they can all play at a high level. Stop with the mean-spirited put downs of kids.

Please stop saying the truth. We live in a society of entitlement!!! Everybody gets to play.... Wah wah!! Nobody wants to hear the truth who are you Donald trump!!

Welcome losers!!

Why would JS take him back?

No the Jack A.. DELETED

Tryouts will be fun across every program as I'm sure all will undergo changes

Terps coaches really should be coaching B team. Because that's where there kids belong it's a joke they are playing on A team and getting more time than other kids. Only one that deserves it is the attackman. Other 2 not so fast.

JS will make sure the kid gets a fair shot. The reason why crush outshines terps is because he is willing to put the best on the field no matter what unlike the terps!!! Can't wait until we smoke you!!!!
