I have a 2023 in NGLL A.
What are some good camps and the camps we should avoid?
I feel like we have grown out of any camps that offer middle school ages.
We are looking at
Maximum exposure
Univ of Maryland
Penn State
UA Command

How does this look? Possibly missing anything?

Save your money. Too early to worry about recruiting camps.

I agree. Save your money. With recruiting change, your rising freshman won’t get looked at. If she is NGLL A, then my guess is her summer is filled with tournaments. That will be plenty.

MG has a young team at SPSG. She'll be back next year

Under Armour Baltimore - I hear the numbers of girls tryout out yesterday were down significantly versus last year, especially for the older team. This was the must do event of the summer for the last several years. Why are the numbers down?

It's not the recruiting tournament it claims to be and it's just another money grab for Corrigan Sports . had a daughter tryout for the command team the last year and this year and there was a big difference in the process from last year to this year. more evaluators for the command team had kids trying out for the command team than last year, one evaluator had 2 kids trying out. to much heros and m&d involvement in the evaluation process and it showed in the callback game. i must say it was not a very well run or thought out eval process this year. last year was much better.

Your daughter must be the SW girl that made Command last year and didn't this year? The process was actually much better this year and coaches actually didn't force their own players onto the team.

Roster is out.

You say the coaches didn't force their own player onto the team. Then explain why there are 5 NDP girls and the HC of the Command team is from NDP. NDP has the most players from any school.

NDP varsity finished third in regular season and didn't make the playoff final four. NDP JV took multiple losses in the regular season. But NDP has the most girls on the UA team. Okkkaaaayyyyy.....

So let's take girls from JV at NDP, but ignore the girls that play varsity at the other schools....Hmmmm

That’s neither here nor there. There are also 8th graders who made the team, girls from a varsity team that doesn’t hold tryouts, and girls who ride the bench on their varsity teams throughout the season.

Since this thread is active let me ask.... we are thinking of switching clubs this year...for many reasons. My daughter will be in HS shortly.
For example what would M&D be looking for at tryouts when they keep winning and winning anyways? Isn’t their team all set just the way it is? Are there players in every team secretly marked “disposable” vs the “keepers”

Being on varsity is meaningless. Many varsity teams would lose to the top jv programs and fresh soph teams

That particular 8th grader would make 9/10 varsity teams.

You should read the player bios. Four out of the five NDP girls who made the Command roster played varsity this year.

Does Mac Ford have anything to do with this? He is one of the coaches.

There is no stronger league than the IAAM A. It’s likely “Sour grapes “ is from a lesser league

It’s not really sour grapes.
Nothing lacrosse related in this mid atlantic region will ever be decided based solely on merit. When you have evaluators who have their own kids/club players/high school players on the field, you will never get a a fair outcome. Everyone knows it, everyone complains about it, everyone comes on here and cries about it, and then a week later everyone stops whining and moves on to the next unfair tryout, where the cycle starts all over again. The same dad/coach/evaluator(s) will be at every event So if you are really that upset about it, get off the merry-go-round.
