BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2022

What does that mean? It will pan out the way it is supposed too. Players that are good enough will be selected into the half a dozen elite camps and the half a dozen recruiting camps across the country. Players will continue to play for their club though out the year.

Spring leagues and summer tournaments are all that matter. Indoor box league at Goals is for fun and to keep a stick in the kids hands. To get all excited like you are is way over the top. It indoor WINTER box, nothing more and nothing less. No one is showing any negative gibber, as you put it, but no one other that you seems to be over the top with this winter stuff.

Well a certain person who shall remain nameless ..that has a website on recruiting and early recruits ..could have been at some of the games...just saying...A shout out by certain people goes a long way..indoor or not! Keep it real people! eye on the prize!

. You can't be referring to Ty Xanders could you? If you are, think about who pays him, how does he make his money. He shouldn't be taken too seriously because most college coaches don't. They know how to find top recruite's without any help/assistance from Ty. And college coaches would not be looking at 2022's, they are just starting to look at 2021's.

Whether it is Ty or someone else, there is no better place to evaluate how kids work in tight spaces than Box and Goals Baltimore is the best league to gauge that. Goals has a good thing going and all teams that participated got better.

DMV Premier League has excellent competition, but they really need to paint a crease on that floor if they are going to call crease violations.

Where did you find this info?

Goals update?

Hawks 21
Crabs 14

Congrats to the Hawks. Spring season is near.

Always nice to see the Crabs take a beating. Wonder how may kids they added to the roster for the championship? Cheaters through and through...

Do you feel better getting that out?

I don't think the Crabs added anyone. The score was about the same as the second time the Hawks and Crabs played. The 1st time they played, the Crabs were caught off guard and without their goalie.

Of course - excuses from the Crabs. Goalie wasn't there, middie was hurt, it was raining, Johnny was at wrestling...

Guess the guys running their mouth were not at the game. Or at any of the games and just hates the crabs.

Last nights game was good and very entertaining , both teams are very good.
Crabs showed a lot of toughness and grit to stay in the game . Hawks looked like they do every week. Very good. Both goalies played terrific

Only a matter of time before the 2022 Crabs roster is filled with 21s and a 20 or two. Shameful organization....

You had to get that out at 5:30 in the morning? Look around, there are 2022 teams with more holdbacks than Crabs.

I'm a surgeon - I'm up early. I've had two kids play in the MD competitive club lacrosse scene. I know how the fat crab rolls. You will see a mass migration of 21s to the 22 team shortly. Remember the stunt they pulled against 91 at Beach Lax a couple of years ago? How did they do in Denver at the WSYL when they couldn't play their holdbacks? They got destroyed on national tv. No - no other team has more holdbacks or encourages holding your kid back like Crabs.

Madlax has more holdbacks than anone.

Go back to sleep, Doc.

The blame likely lies at the feet of McDonogh, Boys Latin, Loyola, etc.

If there is any chance your kid is not going to come in to the school getting straight As, they recommend repeating 8th grade to get the kid up to speed on the school curriculum so that their transcript for college is as good as it can possibly be.

You are full of sh*t, plain and simple. Period.

Even if that were true, which it isn't, then the blame lies at the feet of the inferior public school system for not teaching and caring about their students. Just pass them along to the next grade, can't be bothered with slower or need help students. Now that is the truth.

Sounds spot on to me

Crabs isn't a school, Doctor. Clubs have tryouts. The best kids make the best teams. Schools and parents confer to make the best decisions for their students and kids as a separate matter. All the best teams are loaded with private school kids, mostly did prefirst, some held back in middle school eventually if didn't do prefirst. Rest assured the school curriculums and placements in the area private schools care zero about club lacrosse. Madlax, FCA, Crabs, Looney's, many others, check the rosters, many many private school players. It just is what it is, as much as you would like it to be some nefarious plot driven by the club lax overlords.

Parents drive this stupidity. My kid has to be a superstar lax player so I will pay an additional year of private school so he get a partial scholarship to college (maybe). So dumb. Merit boys and girls. Invest that extra year of private school and you can pay for an entire year of college.

So you are so obsessed with this topic that you believe private schools educators talk parents into the prefirst curriculum because of sports. 6 year olds that may not even play sports yet? Perhaps it is because they want the best education, and let's face it, the government is not the gold standard for success.

Very True. Unfortunately universities love these kids.

Nothing like being a 20 year old freshman.

I guess you missed EXTRA year. You must have gone to Calvert hall.

Its not hard to be the best when you are 16 in the 8th grade playing against 13 year olds. 2020 Crabs middie in HOCO last spring was 16 years old.

Crabs and organizations like them teach kids that if they aren't good enough to compete with kids their own age - no problem - just drop down a grade and play against your brother's friends and you too can get a 10% scholarship to college.

If its not a nefarious plot why are the competitive club owners fighting the change to go age based? Because by playing older kids they gain an unfair advantage which gets more of their kids recruited - which ultimately puts more money in their pocket.

They better bring on the 2021's to the team in addition to the ones they have now if they want to compete at this age group this spring and summer.

Enough talk about Crabs. What's going on over at FCA? I heard they improved but I haven't seen them play anywhere. Are they the team to beat?

They look pretty good driving up in their cars with the fish on the back. Jesus would be proud.

Depends on who they are playing against.

They played in the DMV premeir league last weekend. Any update on how they did?

It is a [lacrosse] of a lot easier to get an academic scholarship than it is to get an athletic one. Think about that while you are proposing all of these ridiculous reasons to explain why your kid can't get on the field.
