91
Looneys
Hawks
Madlax

You can take that to the bank!

My predictions.....
Crabs 3 - Team 91 6
Bethesda 8 - Looneys 5
Hawks 14 - FCA 2
Diamondbacks 6 - madlax 8

91 (18) crabs 0
Bethesda 9 Looney’s 4
Hawks’s 8 FCA 4
Madlax 9 API 4

No way Looneys beats Bethesda.

Bethesda only beat a AAA team by 1 and they started off the game up 4-0 and ended up winning 5-4. AAA teams are a bunch of donks.

AYLC, Rough Riders, VLC, and NL could compete with anyone in Elite. They should all be in Elite. Hopefully, this summer they all get a shot to play one an another!

Crabs vs. Team 91
Bethesda vs. Looney's
Hawks vs. FCA
Diamondbacks vs. Madlax Capital

91 8-3
Looneys 7-5
Hawks 10-2
Madlax 7-4
AYLC wins double digits again and every kid gets to play

Roughriders over PLC ( AYLC ) 8-5 ....remember that AYLC dad.

That's cute that all the kids get to play. Is that their version of everyone gets a trophy even if they don't win. Call me when you are in the elite division. To quote the great Lavar Ball "Stay in your lane"

Lol, not it means they are not struggling to get wins over crabs like the teams in elite.
Also, feel free to contact AYLC anytime and setup a scrimmage. As Lavar Ball would say “put your money where your mouth is”

Only AYLC can play with these Elite Teams - they have proven that last year and should be playing Elite. Rough Riders, VLC and NL dont play ELite in any other age bracket so what makes you think they can play.

What is funny is that you're taking 5th grade lacrosse so seriously!! How about relax and enjoy the ride before your son quits because your pushing him so hard at 10/11. #parenting101

Yet you are here on a po dunk lax blog replying to people. Take your clown show somewhere else lady

Can we talk hot mom's? Any Saltwater fans around?

Serious question from someone not from Maryland - do Hawks, peninsula, AYLC, Diamondbacks all recruit kids in the same Annapolis area? How do families choose which team to tryout for?

Chris Wilkins/Eli WIlkins - AYLC

What we did was take our son to tryouts for multiple teams as well as knowing some others he would not have needed to have tried out for and explained to everyone that a decision would not be made until after all tryouts were completed. Fortunately, all the teams were understanding and did not try to pressure us too hard. At the end of the day when we had all the invites, we sat our son down and explained his options and 100% left the decision up to to him. We gave him a day to think it over and get back to us with a decision. That is how our family did it.

They don't know much about W's, but short shorts and boobies they have cornered the market on.

Oh, and they know about running their mouth to kids from opposing teams and then getting curb stomped shortly thereafter.

Hogan, who runs the Hawks, is aware of the drawl the organization has...so he hosts tryouts 2-3 weeks ahead of anyone else, and makes his picks.
The other organizations will have tryouts on different days so everyone can tryout.
Except this year PLC and AYLC were host simultaneously, I think it was a last ditch effort for PLC to retain some players after AYLC opened.
I’m not sure the state of mind for all families when making a choice.
Hawks advertises “We win championships”, and they generally back it up, so that’s a major pull.
PLC commissioners are both well know in the area, so that helps get numbers.
AYLC is new to club, but have been around for 25 plus years, so they have a serious following and a good reputation. For this age group people followed the coach from PLC to AYLC after the split. Sweeping the summer helped bring a lot of kids to tryouts too.
I don’t know too much about Diamondbacks

Completely Backwards, Try out for all teams, see offers, Look at coaches and resumes, see what level they play in HOCO and tournaments, If below elite level, ignore that Club, pick one that gets your son the most playing time and advancement to be a D1 player, Look at Website , Do they have former D1 players, Tell your son that is the one he is playing for, this isnt a Democracy as he isnt the one forking out the money, ,,,, If not satisfied with your sons team during season ,shop him around and put him on a better club match. Your son will appreciate this as he scores against Duke in the Final Four !

Haha, my son's old team was playing against them a few years ago. First time I had seen them and their baby blue Yeti collection. They jumped to a 3 goal lead early from 3 goals from their giant attackman and the parents were all into the game. Then we went on the beat them by a bunch and the moms were saying "Dont worry boys, you have more than this going for you" and other nonsense.

Hawks has been around along time. Hawks has tryouts and then everyone else follows behind. The Orgs that have been around the longest typically are early. The top orgs will draw 100+ kids to a tryout for an age group. My son tried out for several teams and the numbers werent there for those clubs

Agreed.
We went to Hawks, Crabs, and AYLC tryouts.
Hawks had about 85-90 kids...for maybe 6-8 open spots
AYLC had about 65 kids...for maybe 5-6 open spots
Crabs had about 30 kids...for a full team. However, HC Jim did tell us that he already had his team from the Wednesday tryout, and those 13 kids did not need to participate in the Saturday/Sunday tryouts.

So why have tryouts if there are only 6 spots. Are the other 14 kids that good? Seems like a money grab at $25-30 a pop. Save yourself some money because these kids are not Paul Rabil, Scotty Rodgers or Tucker Durkin

Ive got AYLC by 12 goals on Sunday

I doubt Hawks have 5-6 roster spots available for any age group. Maybe they tell people that or they told the goalie father that since they might replace a goalie but that seems really high for the Hawks.

How often do the top organizations cut a returning player at tryouts? Is that common or once they are in middle school the only additions needed are when players jump ship?
