After the game, I understood the "Daddy ball" comments. Loonies attack definitely at the bottom of the league with repeated turnovers and dumb mistakes. No settled offense or time of possession and I don't believe they scored a single goal against DC Exp. yet I didn't ever see them step off of the field. I can't imagine that they didn't have someone else on their roster that could have played better - the only explanation is their wing guys being coach's kids. Never seen a kid at this level try to unsuccessfully beat a tripple team 5 or 6 times in a row- even their parents were going crazy watching him throw posessions away. Compliment that with the other wing not being able to pass the ball either throwing it out of bounds or over heads and weak outside shots on midfield and it's easy too see how there was 75/25 possession advantage. It's bad.... All 3 attack men probably the most selfish in the game...They do not look up and they do not pass. They Constantly run in to double and triples teams and turn the ball over and over and over again.. Coaches do not seem to correct it and wonder why they have had a horrible Fall and Spring.... They have some talented kids on that roster... Might be time to switch up your Attack? It's costing the team. You will see a big turnover in this team next year if things do not get fixed soon......It's really difficult to watch....especially now with the new antics on the sidelines...disgraceful and embarrassing..... I'm sure that they have all been told repeatedly that they are the best and to just keep doing what they are doing - it's all the fault of the players around them. Their "D" has to get pissed that they need to play through long possessions only to have the ball turned back over within seconds due to poor decisions and selfishness. I think we know how that's going to go over in MIAA next year, although the daddies are all entrenched in Loyola too so we'll have to wait and see. Looks to me like BL will dominate in 2022 and 2023, Calvert Hall will recruit out of state to make up for the lack of non-Kelly standouts on FCA and Loonies, I mean Loyola, will struggle, while St. Marys quielty keeps pace or beats them. One of the Looneys daddies coaches at Loyola so yeah there’s a connection. Obviously that works for some on the Looneys team going to loyola but not for others ...

I think they are all alum with older sons already there, but it may not make as much difference with coaching staff changes the past 2 years. With all of the negative Loonies comments, maybe they fold this year like their 2022 team did last year and just field a "B" team.

In your opinion he is a racist.
You are just saying that because he is White.
Anti-racist is just a code word for Anti-White.
Why are you such an Anti-White?
Do you think destroying a young White boys reputation with your pathetic "virtue signaling" is morally justifiable?

Not sure where the racist comments came from? I heard Loyola head coach is taking over Loonies 2023. Will any Loyola players switch teams to be with their school coach? Are they looking to fix a problem? Non-parent does not necessarily mean non-biased.

"Chinese?" who is being racist? These are nationalities not races. Mom's and dad's are not at fault for a lack of diversity in the sport. It is the lack of a rec program in developing areas. The club cost, private school influence, and lack of marketing to minority communities are the issues.

Breakers will overtake and Looneys Very possible, but they need to get away from having 1 coach and 1 practice for their two teams combined to attract better players. Also being locked into all Aloha tournaments is a negative. They carry multiple, big teams, have high fees and then play in all of their own tournaments to maximize profits above all else.

Also arrogant and shady. Planned to carry 3 teams at 2023 and said players would be offered invite but not assigned to specific team until after practices (not tryouts).

That’s nothing compared to FCA’s shadiness. Advertise “open” tryouts when returning players are “guaranteed” a spot. Total money grab. Then parents pay $2500 in dues to be on weak second teams just so they can be part of the brand while the club uses their dues to offset costs for top teams and increase profit. Suckers.

So basically "Pay us and we'll find somewhere for your kid to play" Sounds like expensive Rec. (which is what much of club lax has turned into: for-profit Rec)

Hold up, you aren't told which team you're on after tryouts??? Who the heck, would play for Breakers based on that right there? I don't get it. What's the draw? Their summer camps? Aloha tournaments...don't get me started.

At one time he had one of the two big clubs in Baltimore ( Breakers and Crabs) along with majority of tournaments. Outrageously expensive even then to play for Breakers. Now monopoly is over. Only fringe players with out of touch parents would play for this club. Frankly it has been a money grab for years. It is now geared towards recreational teams that want to act like Club teams. I guess there is a market for everything now Save your money. Play for one of the rec teams in area.

Top team can beat top FCA and Looneys teams and the second team at least played in an appropriate bracket unlike FCA and Looneys. It’s under $2000 for both teams. Which club is the money grab?

So Breakers playing in semifinals of AAA is glorified rec, but Looneys winning two games over worst teams in Elite and Fca beating same teams plus Loonies in Elite is superior to Breakers. Got it.

No way Breakers beats FCA or Loonies. Not that Loonies and FCA are that good, but Breakers is just doesn't have the depth to run with them. Part of the issue may be having the "AAA" team practice against the "A" team every day. That's a whole nother level versus what the "Elite" teams face each week. They could be great teams to play on and hopefully their players are happy, but doing well in one division does not mean you can be most of the one above you. Breakers moved up by bringing on the players cut from the better teams as well as some of the top Lax World players when that team folded. Solid, but not great.

Looneys has not greater claim to elite than Breakers. Just calling yiurself that does not make it so. At that Shia sinking so fast. The best players not going to Loyola will leave for Breakers. The best FCA kids not going to Calvert Hall or perfected by BK will leave for Breakers. Breakers 2023 team is three years in the making. They did not even have one after MM blew it up. Looneys has underperformed every year since fifth grade and only had one winning record. It lost every game one year and only won two in two others. And 91 .... everyone knows that sham. Even with a holdback for spring they won a single game. There are only 4 elite teams at 2023, them a major drop.

Breakers would need to start beating those teams before they start picking up kids from Looneys or FCA. Not going to happen playing Aloha events. btw 0-3 at Beach Lax?

Looneys has not greater claim to elite than Breakers. Silly comment. Looneys top team would crush Breakers. They had a rough HOCO season against the top 3, but there is a big difference athletically between the elite teams (except maybe 91) and most other teams. Just as a point of comparison, Looneys just went 2-1 in group play at NALL (only loss to Igloo). They then played the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs and outplayed them for much of the game only to lose in overtime. Anyone want to claim that Breakers could play with (and come close to beating) the Hawks?

Nice win over good, not great competition. It does show the division between the bottom Elite teams and Top AAA from this past spring.

Of what benefit is high school club lacrosse to a high school freshman on JV who plays a role on club team? $1500-$2500 is a tough pill to swallow if your kid does not aspire to play NCAA lacrosse. Problem is there aren't great options for summer leagues anymore. It's tough to compete for spots on HS varsity teams (and JV teams at MIAA A schools) without being all-in. HS club teams will have 5-6 practices in fall and play 1-2 tournaments in November. Then about 10 practices and 3-4 summer tournaments in summer. Some might do winter training
