CR has been double dipping for years on her tournament circuit no diferent than express vs express all day at their events

We're all doing just fine. Our kids are playing in great tournaments, and learning to be better lacrosse players. Thanks for asking.

If you don't have a problem with either organization I don't know what to say. Seems you are following people blindly while getting blatantly screwed. But if the only thing that matters is your kid playing lacrosse I guess you are in the right spot but it is kind of sad that these directors laugh at people like you that follow them blindly while they keep cashing your monsterous checks. Good luck!

Not really the same all over because of the tournament box component. These two clubs are in a class by themselves.

I pulled my boys from express a few years ago for all the reasons listed on this thread. But the truth is most clubs are like that. I woukd like to hear from the people that are trashing express where they have their kids are playing. All the top clubs are the same. Even the next level B. Clubs.

Give me a break. There are plenty of clubs on Long Island. You just follow all of Johnny's friends and do Express because you want your son to play at Chaminade or St. Anthony's. You are a fool. If he is good he will make the teams. You are just a follower and a complainer. Leave or shut up.

This is my third time through the process. The best advice I can give is to find a program that you feel will help your son develop and be the best he can, and that treats him and you with respect (not easy). Remember why you are doing this. Not everyone is going to play at Duke or Maryland, so keep that in mind. Be realistic with your sons abilities and goals. In order to play in college you don't need to be on the "best" club or go to the "best" tournament. There are some great d2 and d3 schools where your son can play lax and get a good education. Be realistic and honest with yourself. Don't get caught up in the hype.

I guess the package never came

Maryland was always the bottom of the barrel academically in the ACC, and now they are the same in the Big 10.

YES! Particularly that last line. Don't get caught up in the hype.

We love our kids so much and generally think so much of them that we let our own aspirations and competitiveness limit our vision sometimes. It is very hard to be unbiased or objective about your kids.

Maryland?? Not a school I would want my son to strive for. Always a bridesmaid, mediocre school to begin with.

People never cease to amaze me. You have NO idea what you are talking about.

Facts are facts! So many better options

If you are from in-state, you need a 4.0 and near perfect score on your SAT to get into Maryland. I know a lot of kids who got into highly competitive universities and were denied from Maryland. This isn't the 1980's

Maryland isnt even a top 50 school! Give me a break! They take about half of the kids tha apply

Are we going to take shots at colleges now. Ranked number 60 with a wide range of majors and a strong alumni makes this a good school.

It's easier for a Virginia resident to get into UVA than a Maryland resident to get into Maryland these days.

Whether it's the 80s, 90s, or currently, a degree from UVA is considered far superior to Maryland. It's not even close.

MC son had to leave Princeton and wound up at MD, was supposed help them earn a Ship, but failed. MC takes the rejects of the better schools

Absolutely classless comment!!! MC Jr is a great player, coach and person. I have had a lot of interaction with this young man and he is a gentlemen. He is an advocate for our sport and from Long Island. cant believe the crap and venom that is spewed on here.
