Im quite familiar with their committments. Moderate for time money and branding

Especially mediocre D3 schools. Save your money and focus on academics

Thanks for making my point. Between black and red only 19 committs. Radford Monmouth Furman Hofstra, Louisville is a commuter school. College Park is a scary place. Guess youre not really into the academic side. There is pro lacrosse.

Question, as a parent with player on red team what are the opportunities to play division I lacrosse in Maryland?

The commitments on website aren’t maintained or complete. There is no club that has better commitment lists than M&D. Go look at the actual list of top recruits on IL. Many are M&D players and going to top 10 lacrosse schools.

Terps, Tigers, Retrievers, Greyhounds, Blue Jays, Naval academy, and Mount st Marys. 7 schools. Naval Academy all free rides( kind of). Is that your question?

I guess my question was do players on red team get recruited by these colleges? or what other club has their second team recruited by these colleges?

UMBC has girls off M&D Red and SW White. Mt. St Mary's definitely. Was your questions specific to colleges in MD?

Partial scholarship (know your facts). The line about getting into Stanford vs Maryland was pretty funny. Simply not true. Lets return to the discussion. Play to have fun and compete. Odds are better by getting a 4.0 and crushing SATs then lacrosse. More scholarships that way also. Red players not worth your financial outlay for 7 years club.

Agree plus the D3 schools will give more $$$ for academics than the D1 athletic schollys. The girls have a life and travel in the fall. The parent ego of saying their daughter is a D1 player causes some really poor decisions.

Noobie here... Hello!
Can I ask why the talk goes from D1 to D3? Why does no one talk of D2 schools?
Also, can you a fall semester abroad in D1 ( sounds unlikely) or at a D3 school?

Interesting the USClublax rankings coming out. Steps #1, M&D #2, YJ #3. Skywalkers down at #7. Supposedly takes into account summer performances at all age groups.

That explains why YJ sent so many teams to Nationals. Boost those rankings....... (which really doesn't mean much int he lacrosse world, outside of dollars in their pockets)

except that no 2021 teams played at Nationals.. I agree the rankings are a joke but its not always a YJ conspiracy..

It’s not a 2021 ranking. It’s the club as a whole. The nationals don’t help much as there’s no competition there and part of their formula is who you beat. SW struggles at younger ages as they build their teams. Results of younger teams brings their ranking down. M&D and YJ are typically strong too to bottom. Not sure how Steps is ahead of them however.

Umm, duh! Steps is ahead of them cause they is better! Maniac

Anyone and everyone who has been involved in girl's/women's lacrosse for the last decade knows that M&D and YJ rule the landscape. You can debate which club is 1 and 2 all day, but there is no way any other club is even in the conversation for 1-2. Skywalkers, Hero's, Top Guns are all also are ahead of STEPS, and you can debate the order for 3-5 all day as well. Not even sure STEPS is to be considered in top 10. I have seen dozens of attempts of various rankings of club teams from "internet site sources", many of them highly ranking clubs you never even heard of.

The rankings applied and disclosed objective criteria. So they are accurate for the stated purpose. Sorry it bursted your snowflake bubble of false security.

Come on. Steps typically never plays in the top division at any of the summer tournaments. While M&D, YJ and SW spend the summers beating up on each other, Steps is in a division with TLC, Top Guns, MD United, etc.

There are 2 major championship tournaments in the summer, Lax for the Cure and the Mid-Atlantic Championships.

M&D won 7 divisions between the 2 tournaments
YJ won 2
Monster 2
Steps 1
Heros 1
HOCO 1

Yes, they include more than two tournaments. And it's ridiculous that they don't include the Mid_atlantic.

But, the championship tournaments are more indicative of where the clubs should be ranked as you don't just have to win 4 games against teams that are fairly equal in talent. Steps can go 3-1 or 4-0 in showcase tournaments because they are playing lesser teams. Meanwhile, M&D, YJ and SW are almost always placed in the same division at showcase tournaments because coaches want to see them playing each other. In the championship tournaments Steps can win their division but typically are outmatched once the playoffs start. (Yes I know they won LFTC 2021 this year but this is a program-wide ranking). No way Steps should be ranked above YJ and M&D. I don't care what criteria you use.

Does anyone have any recommendations for quality prospect clinics (in Maryland)? I realize each college typically does their own thing, I'm talking about events where they promote the fact that 10-12 college coaches will be there etc.. Just trying not to waste any money. Suggestions or recommendations ? Thanks.

“Don’t waste your money on any clinic if it includes 2023’s.
I would decide what schools your daughter is considering, and then go to their prospect days first.”

Agree it will not help you get recruited when you get beat on by 23s

Maximum Exposure -summer event. If your daughter makes all star team -she is on her way.
