Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous #305535 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous No need to debate the age issue. It's simply true that it gives the good clubs an advantage over the club teams that do not play with athletes that have reclassified. No biggie, but in most other sports, the best players move up... not down. But hey, if it helps you sleep at night knowing that your kids would likely struggle vs age appropriate competition, all the power to you. Otherwise, let them battle it out with kids their own age and see how they do. The top 3 ranked attack recruits at 2022 are all reclassed kids who played up at the club level until HS. Now that they are playing down with kids in their same graduating class, they are dominant. The combination of playing on age through youth lacrosse and falling back to their grad year in HS has served them well, the caveat being that they may well have been top 5 prospects in the class of 2021 had they not reclassed or done pre-first or whatever.

I believe they are all on age; could be the smallest of all club teams playing at the 2026 level minus the one Middie. Talented group of kids but the gap is closing. Like Reply Quote

Pretty sure the entire Hawks roster will turn 13 before August ends, I can't imagine how any one of the kids wasn't born between 9/1/06 and 8/31/07. They really should just own it and play 2025. They wouldn't be elite in 2025. #nohawkisonage Pretty sure you are wrong. Source....My son is one of the kids on the team and will be 12 after August. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous #305541 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous Hawks are playing this weekend against BLC, VLC, Mesa Futures, and True Illinois. Colossal waste of their time; nobody will come within 10 goals. True Illinois wont give them a game? At this point what would you suggest they do? Teams arent travelling like in a normal year. The clubs want to play so they can say they provided the full season. The kids want to play. Play who shows up. Like Reply Quote

Fact I’m not an FCA parent, so don’t know about the daddy ball (I assume the coach has a son on the team playing attack from the comment) but that defense is legit (top AA quality), but that offense is closer to B. Good luck this wknd as I’m one of those who cheers for other MD teams when we aren’t facing them. Like Reply Quote

You FCA parents/coaches obnoxiously curse all game long, instruct your kids to take players out which leads to your kids taking cheap shots and you want a kid suspended for the season?
