It's the start of the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group

many changes coming to top teams???

I hear GT is loosing their best player and things can't get any worse for FCA.

What Fall tournaments are the top 2021 looking at?

It's hard to plan, especially with a lot of kids playing football and some kids gearing up for hockey season.

What's happening at FCA?

Which individual showcases should a 2021 be aiming for in Summer 2017?

Madlax and VLC will need reboots. A few great players on each team, but absolutely zero depth, too many players on the roster in over their heads, and for VLC, serious goalie issues.

Can anyone give any details about why it can't get any worse at FCA? Was that a statement for all grade levels or just 2021?

Neither team is that great, but you are talking about rising 8th graders. All clubs see a big change from 7th to 8th. Especially VLC since their 7th grade team is their entry year.

Some kids get better, lots of new kids come onto rosters, etc. Your statement is pretty funny (for any club).

Who are the coaches for VLC, Madlax and Black Wolf, 2021?

DC Express 2021 will be very strong - all the BLC kids coming back - 100% - already top tier team - and best kids from other Clubs in DC Area are trying out too. May not beat Crabs again - like BLC did this past summer after losing to them in HOCO Elite Final, but definitely the best Team a 2021 can play on this year - other than Crabs - and seeking to be as good - if right talent is added to mix. Room on roster for sure - as one player moved to 2022 and only had roster of 17 last year - will have 22 this year.

Head Coach will be Bobby Horsey.

Anyone think having tryouts so early is insane? Or is it just me , what happened to letting the kids enjoy themselves after a long hard season. Just putting it out there.

Whats up with FCA?

Yup...Things get earlier and earlier...Club programs trying to start before other clubs so they can grab kids first...I am finally seeing that parents have had enough...These clubs that put out 2nd and third/4th grade clubs are now seeing that parents have had enough...They are struggling putting teams together....

Thanks Bobby.

Anyone attend any 2021 tryouts this weekend? What did the numbers look like?

Just heard the Crabs are adding a 2nd team for 2021. Anyone else hear that?

Loosing kids left and right from the 2021 team.....Absolutely a disaster of a team....

All going to 2022 team?

I'd be very surprised. The hardshell experiment a couple years ago did not go well. They already have a B team with Vlc also.

wrong...Not gonna happen... Crabs does not have any need for a B team... That what other clubs are for

Sure - why not - a B team for the on age/single holbacks and an A team for the double Holdbacks. The A team players can drive the B team to practice. More money for fat Crab. Get in my belly!!!

Coach issues or talent issues?

Sure Crabs could add another 2021 team, an on age 2021 team because the first 2021 team will be made up of re classed 2020 players. Don't deny it, you know it's true so don't even try the bs crap. Crabs is an absolute disgrace in the youth lacrosse world and so is the leader, Ryan M.

How many current 2021 players on Madlax, VLC, FCA, BW, NL and Crabs are likely to be early commits?

Other than crabs - all of these 2021 teams are horrible - none of them are even AA teams.

FCA aweful as is MadLax and next level 2021 is a complete joke as is VLC.

2021 rankings for coming season: 1) BLC; 2) VLC; 3)Madlax; 4) NL.

who is this top face-off guy in 2021 that they speak about??

Your kid...He is the best

It is dads like you that make the sport worse. You are talking about rising 8th graders. Most of these teams are going to look completely different within 1-2 years or less.

FCA, Madlax and VLC produce consistently good to great teams depending on the year, and also get their kids committed to play in college. You are a weirdo.

When did they cut your son?

I'm not the weirdo poster. Yes he is talking about 8th graders. 8th graders who by this time next year could conceivably already have committed. The whole system is weird.

Hawks 2021 had a nice turnout last night. About 125 kids.

Wrong. They announced they are bringing back the hard shells for 2021.

"Crabs does not have any need for a B team"

Guess your wrong on that one buddy. Money talks!

Queue the clown music

Crabs make money on tournaments, not the rosters.

They make a B teamusually because they have a coach they want to keep whose son is not good enough to make the Crabs teams.

Unlike a club like Madlax, they are not fielding multiple teams per grade, although they could easily do so.

Madlax has kids from the 2nd team make the top team all the time. The second team plays in good to some great tournaments. Madlax makes money but puts out a great product. 1996 to 2016. I would rather have them make money then play for a club that produces no results and you never know what you will get from year to year. Keep hating them for offering good to great team at all ages and putting all these teams in the best or really good tournaments.

actually they needed to field another team so that the real 2021s could be on one team and the 2020s that are repeating 8th grade could be on the other team...

2021 could be a deep one. Next Level, BLC (now Express), VLC and Madlax all have strong players.

Ok that is fine with me. There is a need that has to be filled. Madlax is not going to the school and telling them to hold this attackman back a year. But there paying customer is. Do not blame the gun blame the gun holding it. And the guy holding it is the parents not Madlax or Crabs or FCA.
