Where do they find these referees? Whoever the crew was at Troy Park on Fields 3&4 were horrendous. The county should ask for a refund for those clowns

There is a severe shortage of officials because of both the growth of the sport and also the behavior of the parents and coaches. If you think you can do better then sign up to be an official and give it a go!

Go away meathead. It’s youth lacrosse. Your son won’t even be playing in a several years.

Gawd, the new WWW site is awful...

Wow, it is horrible, pretty much unusable, old one may have been a little dated but at least it was easy to follow and find a team. Sometimes good enough is just that

Epic fail HoCo admin. Are you kidding me? What are you thinking? It’s worse than the MPLL site, and thats embarrassing.

You are being too kind.

It's almost like they said "What's the worst possible website we could put out to the parents and teams" Let's just go with that one.

It looks like a site I created in my web design class, in 1997

The new website is totally a holdback.

After a fixes I actually like the new website better. I wonder if they read this stuff??

The website is mostly fixed although scrolling by division/age group isn't ordered in a way that makes sense.

With the season wrapping up, here are the clubs which are fielding the top level teams for all grades (2023 - 2028).

These are the clubs with more than one team at various age levels and how well they are doing on the field.

Hawks - 5 Top Level Teams, 86% Winning Pct. -Annapolis
Madlax - 6 Top Level Teams, 74% Winning Pct. -DC
DC Express/Bethesda LC - 6 Top Level Teams, 52% Winning Pct. -DC
Team 91 - 5 Top Level Teams, 49% Winning Pct. -Balt
Next Level - 5 Top Level Teams, 46% Winning Pct. -DC
Crabs - 4 Top Level Teams, 43% Winning Pct. -Balt
Looney's - 5 Top Level Teams, 40% Winning Pct. -Balt
FCA - 6 Top Level Teams, 33% Winning Pct. -Balt

Interesting to see how poorly FCA is doing even with all of the Calvert Hall Success.
Also, Crabs apparently has lost a lot of ground to Team 91 in Baltimore.
Next Level improved greatly.

Bummer to see clubs like Diamondbacks, Cannons, and Roughriders no longer fielding more than 1 team at the top level.

I agree - after the fixes, the site is much more modern and easier to navigate

Hawks - 3 Championships
Madlax - 2 Championships
Crabs - 1 Championship

Madlax, Team 91, Bethesda/DC Express, Looney's, Next Level, and USS all were runner up at one level or another.

Has HoCo made any decisions regarding spring league? Is it completely cancelled?

Nothing official, but I would be shocked if they play a game. Summer is highly in doubt at this point. Reports saying that MD cases will his their peak around July 4th don't give much hope.

Unfortunately, I think you are right.

We won't play until the curve starts showing signs of going down. Even then I would think kids sports are low on the priority list. I think summer ball is pretty much a scrap. Maybe an abbreviated summer tournament season starting Mid July or August is the best bet. But then again I was hopeful for 4/27. So I along with others are far from experts on this. What I can guarantee is that we probably arent getting our money back.

NAL already announced they are moving from June to July.

If we see a downward decline at the end of April that is a possibility and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I just don't see it thought. An abbreviated schedule by mid July or beginning of August is probably the most ideal situation vs. canceling the whole season. Kids lacrosse is very low on the priority list. So even we we get things going as a country by end of April it may 2-3 more months before everything else opens up.

At a minimum, state travel advisories may remain in effect through summer, so teams like 91 NY, Laxachusetts, etc. unlikely to travel even if local rec sports are permitted. Maybe directors could combine some of these events to create more localized tournaments.

Crabs are headed back to full team practices.

When did they say practice would start back up ?? I hope this is true !

Considering Maryland still prohibits "large gatherings" of 10 or more, where are they holding these practices?

Crabs are headed back to full team practices.

Called Rumor Control. This is not true.

Most teams have groups of players getting together in smaller groups and practicing

The University of zoom

Absolutely true. King Crab moving one county over to Harford since Baltimore County hasn't opened.

and neither has Harford Co.

Isn't Harford in phase 1?

Carrol County/Coppermine facility. 2 birds with 1 stone. County in Phase 1 and private facility.

Has Crabfeast date been moved to new date

Currently scheduled for August 1-2nd in HoCo
