Ok what tournament is that?

Sounds like your coach is putting money in his pocket and not player development.

The 2022 Maryland players should be good, they drive themselves to practice. Haha

Hawks got beat by rough riders last stop being stupid . Everyone got beat last year . Their is some great teams at 2022 anyone can win .

Correct! Igloo has never beaten Hawks, but they are a very good team/
My bet is the Hawks commentator is from another team starting crap. and some 'chump' fell for it! classic crap that happens on here.

Must be Battle on the Bay

Didn't express beat hawks a few times last year?

Nope

Yes they did. Stop

Express beat Hawks 3 times last year. Hawks beat express once.

Both teams EASILY the top 2 teams at this age group last year! Both teams did have some loses along the way. Competition very good all over the place. No team is unbeatable as the Hawks loss to RR showed last year. Express also had a few bad games. Top form though they are definitely the teams to beat this year.

Hey API dad , stop posing like a Hawk parent !

I was at a Next Level - Club Blue MS game today. Embarrassing behavior by dads on both teams. These are supposed to be games where kids have fun and improve, not to hear dads reliving their own childhoods.

Sad.

API beat express at young guns and lost to hawks.

How about the Club Blue coach Giblin yelling and denigrating twelve year olds. Crazy, never seen him before. Hard core.

This surprises no one who has seen his act at Prep.

He is pretty bad. The dads on Next Level 2022 and Club Blue 2022 are just as bad. Acting like it was the Super Bowl. They should be ashamed at their behavior.

You're right. Don't those guys know that both of those teams stink?

Wasnt he a respected coach or assistant coach in the MIAA ??

Georgetown Prep

Did Dukes replace API?

Who is going to the Dukes National Team Try Out ?

Dukes lacrosse model is like a pyramid scheme...No thanks...

Very Funny. LOL

Yes - the new official name is "Dukes API Arden Diamondback's"

The guy cheats too. Not good at a ll

I know a large amount of players from the Annapolis Hawks, Crabs, API, FCA, RR & looney's are going.

My son plays for 91 and Duke's Nat. the program is amazing.

A pyramid scheme? Translated your son can't compete at the highest level so you try to mock it. Dukes recruits players from all parts of USA, Canada and the Six Nations. The minicamps are a good measuring stick to find out where you child stands and gives an opportunity to elite players to play with other elite players from different parts of the country. It doesn't cost thousand of dollars like many other clubs but it's not for everyone. You should only come if your child has the ability to compete with top players from all over.

All the top players that were on the "Maryland Stars" last summer play for Duke's Nationals now.

I'm going to bring my son out. His friend is the top player on LI Express and talks about how talented the coaches & kids are all the time.

Dukes marketing group is going all out. Smh.

I actually heard the Crabs and Annapolis Hawks are working with Duke's now.

Thought Hawks player where not allowed to do anything outside of Hawks

Is FCA playing Dukes this weekend?

Ha! You guys are crazy. What do you sign contracts for your kids. I would never let any coach get in the way of any opportunity for my kid. My older son played for an organization that tried to do that. The staff could only bring him so far. I exposed him to multiple coaches and now he is a starter for an ACC school. This is great advise. LEARN FROM MANY COACHES.

This is not true. Stop making stuff up.

And this is not true either.

What's great about Dukes is if your kid is not good enough to play in a certain tournament you can give Dukes more money and then maybe he will be good enough to play in next tournament....Total pyramid scheme....Buyer beware
