BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2023 - 7th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

Freedom is a top 10-12 AA team at this age group.

The poster said crabs could not beat the teams. They did not beat philly freedom. The point is the team has degraded significantly from last year and the year before.

Wow! I just spent way too much time reading this garbage and I'm embarrassed to be a part of this mess. Why so much hate? Who cares who the best team is? Is that really that important? Isn't the idea for kids this age to develop into the best players they can be and learn life skills like how to compete, sportsmanship, teamwork and learning how to win and lose with class and dignity. What kind of example are you setting for your children? Lacrosse is the ultimate team game. Does it make you feel better if your son is on a team with 3 amazing players and they win every tournament? Or if your team loses to that team with 3 studs, does it make you feel better to tear down the winning team because those 3 studs could possibly be hold backs? We are talking about 7th grade boys! My guess is that most of you have never played or know what it takes to play division 1 lacrosse or even competitive D3 lacrosse. And if your kid is any good, in 2 years he'll be in high school playing against kids that are 3-4 years older than him. What are we teaching our kids if when they lose, and all they hear about is that the other team cheated because they have hold backs. What ever happened to teaching your kid to learn from the loss and to pick themselves up and get back to work. Stop your crying and finger pointing. It's pathetic. Life isn't always fair and the sooner kids learn that the better off they will be in life, not just in sports. Stop coaching from the sidelines, stop crying to the refs, stop putting down other peoples kids and enjoy the moment. It will be over before you know it. There is no gold at the end of the rainbow. What is it that you are looking for? Is it the 1/4 scholarship offer? You already spent that savings in the club fees you've been paying and travel expenses. Does it make you feel like YOU accomplished something if your son succeeds in lacrosse? I just don't get it. I'm sure some [lacrosse] will be quick to rip me anonymously on here for this post. Have at it.

Cavs 2023 ready to shock the world. HOCO 'ship or bust, baby! Smoking the competition and taking names.

Will Cav's play in AA or Elite? Have they ever come close to beating an Elite team? They will do will in Double AA

Cavs were convincing winners in their bracket last year, they really should step up to ELITE and challenge themselves. 91 should be AA along with FCA white and Looney's green

Fake news! Cav 2023 did not win the Division SR did. They are maybe the third best team in NOVA

they won the title you didn't know about

Heard bunch of Cavs and 3d 2023 kids are leaving for Evergreen.

If this is the case CAV's will be better. They should move up to Elite and replace MadLax as top N.VA team

VLC's 2023 team is the best in the DMV, followed by Madlax. Cavalier is a distant 3rd.

2023 National Championship field is set. http://youthlaxchampionship.com/

The selection process for the 2023 National Championship states: "Only teams competing in AA leagues and similar-level tournaments will be considered." Thus, Cavs would not even be considered. Next Level will be there. During a scrimmage this fall, Next Level beat Cavs by over 10 goals. I am sure there is an Aloha tournament that Cavs can go play in that weekend. VLC lost to Lax Factory and NXT at their last tournament, hardly the best.

VLC also beat MAdlax and 91 Md who are both on this list

Where are all the Top Maryland Teams like Crabs, Hawks and FCA? And how did Team 91 and Madlax get in this?

Crabs and FCA boycotted last year's 2022 Natl. Championship. Hawks and Madlax were in it. Millon runs it, so of course 91 MD will be involved. It was supposed to be 16 teams last year and they allowed more teams in and the competition from the bottom 4 or 5 teams wasn't so great.

Crabs and FCA boycotted it because half of their teams weren't qualified due to age restrictions!

Hahaha. It's a grade based tournament you dolt. 91 MD and Hawks have a bunch of holdbacks too.

Madlax soundly beat VLC at the Maryland Invitational in October. VLC was lucky that it was only a 4 or 5 goal deficit.

I see, a bunch of 14 year old 7th graders

It's not a national championship

Or, just another east coast tournament

FCA didn't boycott last year. Where do you guys come up with this stuff. It was the same weekend as the FCA Lacrosse camp that they run every year so they were unable to attend. Not sure why Crabs doesn't go other than they don't want to put money in MM's pockets.
