Didn't Spalding win the JV league last year?

What have tryout numbers been like for the elite teams? Have seen a few supplemental tryout announcements already.

Of course they did. Spalding makes playoffs this year and wins it all the following year.

No Elite 2022 teams have posted supplemental tryouts. Tryout numbers have been high at the good teams just like they always are.

You've been to all of them have you? Your kid find a spot on one this year?

Unless John Carroll wins it all. Just as likely as AS winning it.

Don't get the allure of Blackwolf. Google the guy. Sounds like he should have been a priest in Western PA. BW parents are either unaware or intentionally and shamefully ignorant.

It will be here sooner than you think. Both teams will be in playoffs within two years. Within next 5 years one will be a MIAA Champion. Hard to stop talent

What happened at Rock?

We get it Cabell. Are you going to post this in every thread?

They picked up some Looneys, Koopers, and Greene Turtle kids.

They have A & B teams (top 22 and 44).

Will have to wait and see if they coaches can make the A team compete with the big boys.

Are the fielding 2 teams are 2022? Who is the coach of Top 22? Club has a good platform and history of commits, including MW (SP, ND). But not much talk in this forum.

The fact that the owners son didn’t play for Rock inHigh school should tell you all you need to know about the program.

He got cut?

Thats cold...cutting your own son! Bet that was fun around the dinner table.

Thats hilarious
22 went essentially winless 2 years ago
Horrible coaching

No he didn’t get cut. He was too good to play for Rock and played for FCA. Rock is a terrible organization

Where did/does he play college lacrosse?

What does the Mid-Atlantic 2022 club scene look like for the upcoming fall and summer seasons? Which clubs got stronger and which lost talent? Given the rule change (20/60), are tournaments going to be able to afford a clock for every field or are the referees going to keep time on their wrist? Which clubs have the coaching acumen to adjust to the new rules? Which clubs have the best personnel for the new up tempo game? Guessing two way middies are now at a premium. Also highly skilled offensive LSMs. Look for a lot of ten man riding because 20 seconds isn't much time. Will be great to have an athletic keeper who can cover outside of the cage.

That's an NCAA rule that hasn't even been adopted yet. It was just proposed by the Rules Committee, but still needs to be approved by the [whatever higher up] committee.

I doubt that all of the tournaments, even those that claim to follow NCAA rules, will end up using a shot clock. As you point out, the cost and logistics will make it really hard to outfit every field with a visible clock. Just the cost of the equipment, without getting clock operators, will be prohibitive.

No way that there will be shot clocks at fall and summer tournaments. Most tournaments can't even get enough balls on the end lines. Let alone getting clocks setup at every field. NFHS rules are already different than NCAA. Nothing forcing tournaments to have 20/60 rules.

Yup. Because keep in mind that implementing this rule requires not just clocks on the endlines, but the power infrastructure to run them (or even more money and a separate power infrastructure to charge battery powered units), the remote controller units, and people who can actually pay attention the entire game to reset the clocks.

Let me clarify for you blind Madlax supporters (and most likely Cabell who spreads FUD on this message board). MadLax is purely a profit center with no focus on player development or individual skills and technique. The amazing players that have played there (or play there) were already incredibly skilled prior to their involvement at Madlax.

The focus of MadLax is purely on winning meaningless club/tourney championships with practices solely focused on team based concepts, irrespective of teaching the proper fundamentals or individual skill techniques. For instance, the proper way to execute a simple ground ball or roll dodge utilizing the proper footwork is never taught, nor are practices geared towards spending at least 50% on individual skills and technique like college practices. The end result is that kids play countless numbers of games, further engraining and reinforcing bad/poor habits. But that doesn’t matter to MadLax as long as they continue to fill their coffers with 2 teams per grad class.

Make no mistake, that’s the real reason kids leave for other clubs. It’s a sham and rip off especially when you consider that parents pay 2x the fees at Madlax for an inferior teaching/playing experience and that doesn’t even take into account the fact that they take 26-30 kids on each team.

Lacrosse consumers have become more educated and that’s why many of the best kids in the DMV are on longer affialiated with Madlax.

How many re-class players did the top clubs add?
