I think we can all agree FCA and Looney's are the teams to beat (team 88+3 is hiding) .. Is there any evidence that any of the other elite teams made significate enough additions to hang with either team during this up and coming fall ball season? Let's assume every player on FCA, Looney's and Crabs all hold backs... Just want to get that redirection over with. Stay on topic.. I would Love to hear that some of teams that were very competitive but not quite there added some players.

so much focus on age. What about focusing on size/weight? How is it fair for my son who is 5' and 80 pounds to be beat on by 200 pound defenseman that are 6' 4"? My son is considered a holdback as he did pre first - so age doesn't matter. This is a safety issue that is being forgotten with everyone worrying about what college your high schoolers might not get into before they reach sophomore year.

You decided to sign your son up for a contact sport. My son is small also but that is why we quite football because he was not big enough. You can only push and check in lacrosse. There are many ways for a smaller player to succeed in this game. In football not so much.

Crabs were the team to beat last season, they have probably slipped the most.

I've observed in the past that the Crabs teams, after immediately playing with RM, don't have the same killer instinct. Mix this with a new staff, and it will be a different team, no doubt. Is it possible they could be better?]

That is the best post ever "not many 4 at the most" 4 kids on one team with permits and driving during freshman year. Only 4 that is the post of the year.

In regards to RM and the 2020 team - there is a reason he is coaching the 8th grade team - its because it is the last year he can really take advantage of the slew of holdbacks he has in the line up.
Regardless - the Crabs program is being surpassed by FCA, Looney's etc. They have figured out the secret holdback sauce and are playing it just as well as the fat crab.

The 2020 Crabs team will be different in many ways. Style of play, coaching, scoring, defense. Still top 5 nationally.

The 2020 team will be full of holdbacks just like every other crabs team. Yawn. New style of play? Let me guess - they are going to pioneer the Tufts/Brown up tempo style in "youth" lacrosse. How imaginative.

Why should we watch out for Madlax 2020 this fall? Heard they lost of couple of their best players to BW. So I guess when you say watch out you mean watch them only beat the lower level teams and get spanked by all the top teams they claim to be peers with. Even the relationship with Cannons didn't help Madlax 2020 nationals this summer.

The only way for Madlax 2020 to gain better players is to get them from outside of the DMV. All of the better local (MD/DC) 2020's are already playing with other clubs and didn't try out for Madlax 2020. Only way for them to get better is to air lift in talent from other states.

They went into last season claiming to be the team to beat in 2020, and several teams did just that. Still top 5 in Baltimore, not so sure about nationally.

I agree, I am really sick of hearing about Madlax/VLC and other Va and DC teams. Request a separate thread for your area and stay out of the Maryland thread. If you don't know, go look at a map, you will quickly (I hope) see that Va. and DC are not in Maryland. Larry, can you assist here, to give these people their own thread.

Now here is my thought.. All of these areas are very close to one another.
I think that VA and DC belong in the Maryland Forum..
Also, I haven't heard from many Va or DC people saying that they wanted their own thread.

I wonder why FCA didn't get an invite to NLF frosh? Is it because they took a bunch of their players and a coach?
