True can compete with Hawks and did so in the fall. Pretty sure it was a one goal game. The gap has closed on Hawks[/quote]

Elaborate on this. Which True team and what was the score?[/quote]

Yes, please. Ture Annapolis and the Hawks have never played. Whatever version on True the Hawks played in the fall, it was not a 1 goal game

Clearly, based upon this banter, there is club rivalry between True Annapolis and Hawks. Instead of arguing on this web site why don’t the coaches simply schedule a play date next weekend or the weekend after and let the kids play? Win or loose it will be fun for the kids and put an end to this senseless back and forth.

Rivalry's have equal competitiveness.

Clearly each team thinks they are better then the other based upon the chest puffing on this blog so it takes real arrogance to speak of equal competitiveness. PLAY THE GAME and let the result speak for itself!

But not really. No one thinks that

A bunch of chicken hawks puffing their chest and running off at the mouth.

What years are we talking about? This thread has become ridiculous. It must be the children.

??

I wish it were the children, but it is a small group of Hawks Dads who embarrass the program on this board and on the sidelines. The majority of Hawks families are class acts.

How were the numbers at True VA today or was it even held due to field conditions?

Plenty of them must have been at the 2025 Box event. Stop beating the same drum.

More than a few parents, it’s a club wide issue. Multiple Hawks teams have parents who act like 6th graders. They chicken hawk up and down the side line giving their kid garbage then yelling at kids on the other team. This has been going on from the 2019 teams through 2024, it’s accepted behavior by the club.

Not sure what club you are affiliated with, but go to any tournament, anywhere, at any level. You will find parents like that on every sideline. Not saying it is right, but you are blind if you don't think it is a problem throughout the sport, heck, all sports.

Seems to be one person who makes this statement over and over and over. Sounds like a jilted lover.

I think that there is truth on both sides of the debate - yes, the program has a culture of permitting low rent sideline behavior on all its teams, but in fairness, the 2026 team has a couple of Dads who are exceptional in this regard.

100% true.

It is now the identity of the club. Loud obnoxious trash

Stop talking to yourself.

Absolutely the truest statement on this board.

Agreed. I went to watch my niece play lacrosse, 8th grade in the Annapolis area as well. It was comical and embarrassing at the same time to listen to the comments coming from both sets of parents, grandparents, and, my family included. I think we just are caught up in the game when our child is playing and don't realize what is being said by parents on our team, parents on the opposing team, as well as what comes out of our mouths. More importantly, how it is being taken by the other side.

Lol, profanity.....I said mess

The football and basketball games that my son plays in are FAR worse than lacrosse. It is the entitlement from lacrosse parents that gets to everyone. My daughter is a cheerleader (sorry, I tried) and you wouldn't even want to know what is said at those events. The crazy RN dads from the Dena and Calvert County wearing pink Cheerdad shirts are both comical and scary. To single out the Hawks organization in the midst of all of the bad behavior from stunad parents is ridiculous and clearly rooted in jealousy. Let the bashing begin from the Hawks trolls and haters. I am not and have never been a Hawks dad but if we lived closer, my son would definitely be trying out. My guess is if your kids were more talented, they would be too.

It sounds like one parent missed the boat to the Hawks and is still holding on to a grudge. Reading this thread makes True look as ridiculous as the Hawks.

Cheerleaders are athletes too.

I think the uniqueness of lacrosse parents all being on the same sidelines adds to the mix at lacrosse games.

Not only that, but parents naturally changing spots to be closer to their kid puts opposing parents right next to one another.

Add crazy wrestling parents to the mix 'cause they are right up there with the worst. I guess it just shows that the one consistent thing that never fails to screws up youth sports is adults.

I was referring to your wife.

cheerleading isn't a sport.

I’m not the OP- So says the old dude posting on the middle school sports forum.

Love to see you attempt half the garbage those kids do.

😂

Lets see you do a transitional pyramid with a twisting mount while in a herkie then hitting a perfect shushunova landing.

How much did 2027 True teams to be in a tournament to play itself and get rocked by FCA?

2025 True Annapolis beats 2025 True Baltimore this weekend in DE.
Oddly, in HoCo, the Baltimore team is in the A division, Annapolis in the B.

Annapolis sandbagging for the Spring to get that 'Ship.

lolz

Stop drunk typing, read what you typed before sending it, drunk lost

Or, since True is a newer club they don’t fully know yet where they belong. Also, winter sports are still going on, so the multi sport athletes may have been with their in season sport instead of lax.

True on True crime has been committed

Not PP. My kid brought up "Hawk parents" when we were talking about bad sideline behavior. And his team hasn't played the Hawks but has seen games.

Kids don’t care about the sideline. They repeat what the parents say.

Kids watch and tell the truth. I've never watched or noticed a Hawks game so it so it doesn't come from his parent.

Looks like True Annapolis 2025 had a good game against True Illinois last Saturday.. looks like it may have been a scrimmage...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBoCcqWj9BA

aren't there enough True teams to be their own hoco now?
