Don't know about Zingos but Roughriders are not that bad of an organization and last year their 2020 AA team was competitive. Unfortunately some key players left for other clubs and they will not be as strong this coming spring. One major positive is that all of their players are age appropriate with no holdbacks, unlike other club teams, mainly Crabs.

So says the Crabs dad.

That is not a true statement. I personally know several holdbacks on Roughriders. Don't make things up.

Not making things up. Just curious, which teams have holdbacks? I know 2020/2021 and 2022 have none, as far as I can determine.

Box doesn't mean much to who? From what I have seen - the players and some of the parents (cough - Loonies) seem to take it pretty seriously.

You got YOUR facts wrong, you are nothing but a pos and he was never shopped around. Maybe that is what needs to be done with you. Oh, that's right, there would be no takers for a pure looser like yourself. Seems like you have nothing better to do than to criticize other peoples children and other parents. It is none of your business, why can't you get that through your thick head, mind you own f'in business. No one here wants to read your misinformed crap.

Looney's is the club that disbanded their 2017 and 2018 teams. Stay away.

did the club disband them or was there very low turnout?

Wow - isn't it time to change the kegs or clean the bathroom at the pub?

Low turn out. Never recovered at those grades from losing kids to FCA when they started up. This person has a bug in his butt and makes the same comment over and over. Next post will be about Carroll Manor coaches

The teams were terrible, but who ever heard of disbanding a rising junior and rising sophomore team? Totally left the kids on the team on the dock as they sailed away.

Pretty lame. The club is falling apart.

LOL. You can see who has the young kids. All you posters who have not gone through the recruiting process are very much in the dark. If you have a middle school kid, talk to a HS parent who has already done it. Your eyes will be opened. Not all kids will be D1. If you kid goes D1 the scholarships are split up as every team only gets 12.5. Most kids will play D11 and D111 and the grades will get them more money than sports. Once they get to college they may not play as coaches change once you are there. Better to make sure you kid is having fun and getting good grades than be that crazy parent on the side line. (you know who you are)

I understand this forum is based on crazy people attacking different clubs, Club directors, Tournaments, HS's and parents. Just want to enter some truth into the argument.

Sometimes a club loses a lot of kids on a particular team. But I've never heard of a club disbanding two teams because of lack of players.

Please don't bring up FCA. The Looneys 2017 team did not lose any kids to that program. Those kiss were not r3cruit3d away by FCA. OT is just that both teams had bad talent and the club gave up on them.

with so many clubs now this will happen more and more. There's bound to be an attrition with the number of kids playing high school club. All these middle club players are not making their HS teams - especially at the MIAA schools. And even those that do but aren't likely to get recruited for college - why pay all that money for recruiting tournaments? So the ones that are left will end up going to a stronger team and you'll see clubs have trouble filling HS rosters. SOunds like this is what happened to the looneys 17/18 teams. Apparently they didn't have enough kids to make a full team register for tryouts. So they pulled the plug early so they ones who wanted to play could find a team. I think some ended up at the green trurtle

I think the club and parents are at fault. It is OK to have a kid that will never play MIAA A play club. It is also OK to have an A, A- or B club team with a bunch of kids and parents that love lacrosse and want to play more than just HS. The club can focus on lesser tournaments and still be competitive. I think the club looses the focus of expanding the sport and letting the kids have fun. Not every on is a D1 player. I know every kid on the Crabs, younger Looneys, FCA are all D1 players. Please do not exclude the kids that want to get better, have the drive but do not have the natural ability.

Any thoughts on lower age group programs at the U9 range?

Club Blue, Next Level or Zingos

Which is better for development?
