BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2025 - 5th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

It's the start of the Fall 2017/Summer 2018 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group

Has anyone been to any tryouts so far? Thoughts?

just FCA, had about 30 plus kids

Does anyone know how many teams are actually fielding teams in this age group?

A ton of teams. Igloo, 91, Legacy, Express, S2S, Team 24, Ducks, Outlaws, True Blue, Hitman and 100 others, Wake up guy.

Go back to the Island [lacrosse] munch

This is a great age group, lots of great talent on all the teams, and good parents so far. Hope thing don't change this year with middle school around the corner. It's been a fun couple years

Sorry-- I thought this was the Maryland string.

Maryland forum. Those are LI teams. Wake up guy!

Here are the teams from last year in order of how they finished in HoCo last year: I would guess that Cannons would move up to AA. Other than that, I don't see any other movement in AA.

AA:
Hawks
Bethesda
Team 91
Madlax
Looney's
Next Level
FCA
Diamondbacks

A:
Cannons
Lax World
Zingos
Green Hornets - Swarm
3D Select
Roughriders

B:
PG Lacrosse Club
Sidewinders
Peninsula
Fallston
South River
Bethesda
Looney's
HoCo
Lax Factory
Cavalier
Kooper's
SMYLA All-Stars

Seeing a lot of shake ups in the teams in older divisions in the AA group. Any insight into that? Parental views different from coaches? Playing time? Player growth? Just wondering what politics this age group is going to have to look forward to in the coming years. Was there much team jumping this year in 2025?

Shakeups are from crazy parents that always think their kid is better than the team. let your kid play with his friends, if he is going to get better and play in high school he's going to, if he's not oh well, at least he got to spend time with his buddies.

75 registered for Bethesda 25 Tryouts tomorrow.

Some kids play for more than the experience of playing with friends. You are a dope.

sometimes parents make them play for more than the love of the game and playing with the friends

Yes. Ten year old kids are all playing to become MLL stars and make millions.

Crazy

Any thoughts on VLC in NOVA trying to field a team for this level?

So, can anyone provide a listing like this for the teams in Northern Virginia?

Any 2025 teams in fall tournaments? How do the teams at this age look.

Two of your top three lost to island [long island] box. A new program.

Are you serious dude? Get a clue and then get a life...

Box? Who cares? Completely different game

You are pathetic

I’ve been watching 2025 kids play since clinic, it’s a great class of kids. Lots of great teams and coaches. I can’t wait to see them play this year. With that said box seson this year was a joke, kids from 8th playing in 2024 kids from 2025 playing up 2 years. This could be a lot of fun if it was regulated at all. This is up to the parents, register your kid in the correct group and let them learn. Maybe he’ll dominate a couple years but high school is only a few seasons away. Those kids won’t look so great when they’re all big and fast. Come on !Spring

you are. Sore loser. Grow up.

New like they just picked up lacrosse sticks? Get real. It was 70% goalie play and they have the best goalie from LI. She has a bad hair day and you lose.

Has anyone seen the HOCO groupings?

three teams to watch for 2018 Team 91, Hawks, Bethesda at the AA Level. They are clearly above the rest. Should come down to one of these teams

Hawks are solidly the best team at this age and a few other years. They are fun to watch. Just a well coached talented team. This is not a Hawks parent so, what are you feeding them?

Hawks are very strong. No argument there. Who will meet them in finals and try to pull off the upset?

BLC
91
Looneys seems to be better now.........

Anybody that wants to challenge them better bring a great Fafeoff kid.

T91 in a stunner!

Team 91 was very good this year, awesome goalie and good coaches. Not a 91 parent, just enjoy good lacrosse. This graduation year has lots of talent on all the teams.
