Who’s from south Florida both leagues are in MD

Some of their lesser skilled players never even saw the field or very little. Was wondering how they were able to get away with this.

Planning for summer camps, etc. anyone have any experience with Triple Threat? Any suggestions for events possibly tailored toward higher academic schools?

I have heard good things from families who attended a few years back, Same with Maximum Exposure. Not sure if this has changed though.

With private school tryouts over and rosters finalized, how did the 2022 class fare? Did many land on varsity rosters?

No 2022 on Varsity at Spalding

4 on McDonogh Varsity

Any word on St. Paul’s and NDP. Gotta be crushing for girls on 22 team, to see friends make varsity and be on JV.

Crushing? I wouldn’t say that. Most freshman aren’t expected and don’t make a varsity squad. Sounds like you may be a feminine cleansing product looking to start poop. Go celebrate your ‘22’s future varisty pine riding while other freshmen kick butt on the field for their JV team.

I can't speak for St Pauls, but the NDP team has a big roster and has very good players in the upper classes. A good freshman is likely better served getting a lot of playing time on JV vs not playing at all on varsity. Practicing with the upperclassmen has its benefits but not ever getting to play is no fun.

2 2022's made Varsity at SPSG.

How many freshmen made Spalding varsity?

None. A small group of very talented 2022 girls made the JV team and the rest are on Fresh/Soph team. Huge tryout this year with lots of talent ahead of them. Spalding should have a great season this year (all 3 teams)!

I saw Cobra kai killed md today. That’s hilarious.

When your entire team revolves around daddy ball, what do you expect?

Why is it funny that Cobra Kai beat M&D ? Is Cobra Kai not a strong team ??

Killed?

Lost by 3 in a showcase event where everyone plays.
Hero’s lost by 2 in a showcase event where everyone plays
SW lost by 2 in a showcase event where everyone plays.
Yellowjackets lost by 3 in a showcase event where everyone plays.

Welcome to high school. Now go settle down.
Great games this weekend everyone.

Md plays kindergarten lacrosse . The coaches daughter starts from the same high attack spot every time.

hahaha... that is spot on!

depends on what team you are referring to. not all MD teams have parent coaches.

wow..you really need to get a life.

I say this all of the time about M&D and people act like I'm crazy. It's a joke. Some of the coaches at M&D are good coaches who just happen to have daughters on the teams. Others are parents w/ some lax knowledge who embed themselves on a team so daughter(s)-dear can play. And some times they play more than or instead of stronger players. It ridiculous - BUT other clubs have the same problem (heros, hoco, nems, etc). Other club sports have the same problem too. What do you do ?? My son's soccer club won't allow parent coaches and it costs a fortune because they have to pay certified coaches. You would think some of these parents would be honest with themselves and step aside and "just be a parent watching my daughter" - as I've heard one parent claim he wants to do but never will because it ensures the daughter(s) spot on the team. What happens when daughter(s) should be cut or not be playing but they're not cut cause mom/dad is the coach ?? What do you do when daughter(s) isn't performing and is playing instead of stronger players ? What do you do when daughter(s) can't do what is needed of them and teammates and other parents are furious because they're or their daughters aren't getting the opportunities they should ?? Do the girls w/ parent coaches continue to play and/or get to stay on the team in lieu of stronger players cause of their parents ?? What do you do when very experience attackers and midfielders are jumping up and down begging for the ball while daughter(s) hold on to it like their life depends on it ?? I'd love an answer but I don't think there is one

I know of at least 3 of these teams who's entire offenses revolves around getting the ball to "daughters". On the other end of the field I know of 2 teams w/ daughters who consistently get beat on defense. I know of teams where midfielders sit out in rotations while daughter(S) on attack and defense play all but 5 minutes of games. Some even leave mid and go to attack or defense. Again - what do you do.

my daughter doesn't have to deal with this any longer and I am so glad.

M&D bills itself as the best club in the county (CR actually makes that proclamation)., They should be able to find good coaches and not rely on parents.

And as one of the most expensive clubs around the parents shouldn't tolerate it. If you tolerate it then it's on you. If enough people complained they'd take care of it. Until enough people complain you're stuck with it.

Right 11 of 15 teams have parent coaches. And from 2026 on its all parent coaches.

That’s the MD 22 team.

The thing with these parent coaches, they are setting their daughters up for failure. You can only do so much before your kid has to actually earn her spot on a team, any team, without Dad overseeing everything. If they do play in college, they will fizzle out because Mom or Dad are not there to protect them. They have no idea how to face adversity. Have seen this with my older kids age group, and you can see what is coming for some of these 22's.

Md 22 black should drop more after this season. The assistant coach is the problem with the team. With Every possession his daughter goes to goal. It is encouraged and reinforced over and over.

That did not happen this weekend in NJ. Teams have figured her out and she doesn’t have that ability like she used to. Our team played them this weekend, she was not the star.

They can't run the CR motion offense because dad wants D to take it to goal in traffic every play. They need to say goodbye to both coaches and daughters for the team.

Maybe that's why they're having tryouts at 22 grad year when most other clubs aren't holding them.

Poser Christian orgs like FCA are held to a higher standard.

you are right.. M&D will drop for sure after going 4 & 0 this weekend beating Monster, CT Grizzlies, Capital and Cardinal....

You can keep them. This is more entertaining than watching her fake grabbing her head.

way to bash a 15 year old girl. I guess her team has beaten your daughters team numerous times and this is your way of making yourself feel better.

👆🏻

Keep talking about specific players and coaches so BOTC will shut this forum down. Please.

I don't understand the meanness on these forums. Can't we just celebrate the fact that these girls are all working towards the same goal, working hard at their sport, and are spending their time doing something productive with their time instead of hanging out and getting in to trouble. All of these teams are good. Some are really strong, others not. But who cares. I don't understand the need to come on here and insult teams, girls, coaches, clubs, etc..

They're just kids !!!!!!!!!!

We could, but Hero's parents exist....so its not going away.

Its true we have fewer wins than MD 22.

If you think its bad now wait until coaches start watching. I'll take a few less W's but they will see my daughter play versus 1 player that goes to goal every time.

She's happy with her teammates. Can you say the same?
