You’re right. You are the first club ever to have 2 really good teams so you will show us ! Enjoy the fake A brackets.

I wouldn’t be so sure. Things change fast and people rarely see it coming.

Just as an outside observer, the constant chatter from the Hero's side here doesn't help your image or put your club in a good light. I know all clubs have issues including M&D, but none of this looks good. Just enjoy the success and keep moving forward.

WOW. You have just proven every single post made about Heros parent behavior. Just wow. Priceless.

Arrogance will be this teams downfall. The arrogance of a parent speak volumes about your character. Youth sports at its finest

It wasn't all that long ago when Heros 2020 White was one of the better teams in the country in middle school. Those kids all moved as did kids off green and they had to take on girls that had been cut by M&D.

Heros 2021 Green was one of the better teams in the country in middle school and by high school they could hardly win a game in A brackets of tournaments. Things are going to change a lot at the 26 level in the next 2 years. You can mark that down.

23 Green lost their best players to M&D for high school.

Maybe, but until M&D rids itself of the stale parents that pushed their coach out and slowly ruined that team, they won't be good enough to challenge the best teams anymore. If that is what you're referring to, then maybe you're right, but since you're probably one of those, you're probably wrong.

I wish you would identify yourself so in august we could say I told you so. Mark this down. 2 new kids for sure. Best player on their current team. And yes some parents will not be there anymore with their kid.

Mark this down. NO HERO'S WHITE GIRLS TO M&D. NONE. Tierney is psyched to have the two best teams in the country. She isn't an stunad. She just happened to build the best program at the 2026 level. deal with it pk. you can screw your own team but you can't screw up ours![/quote]

The two best players are going to Hero's Green. That's for sure.

Only time will tell what happens in the tournaments and if players jump clubs. Don’t be fooled, parents admire the Name Recognition of top clubs, Heros, Skywalkers, M&D, etc. Club tryouts are cutthroat and teams will cut one girl to get another. There is ZERO loyalty.

I thought it was the hero’s white parents on m and d that were the stale parents?

At least one. The heros coach / mnd parent Take him back !!

Wasn't there a story about 2 former heros parents who now have a kid on mnd getting in a fight with each other on mnd sidelines?
That was 2nd hand but you can't make that up.

Heros and M&D are terrible about player development. All about the Wins. Game plans are centered on a few shooters. Practices are designed to design plays to get the ball to the stars. No work on skill development so the ones who are very good but not the stars, don’t get the coaching they need to be better. Opponents should watch some game film and and focus their defenses on stopping the few shooters.

Yes this did happen with the 2022 team. I witnessed it. And the next post about opposing teams studying who these shooters are is true. Reason the M&D 22 team started losing games the last 2 years. Ball will be going to #6 - it’s a guarantee. Easy to stop. They figured it out in the IAAM too!

So enlighten us. Which club is great for player development ?

Teams have 2 practices a week. Approx 3 hours. How much time should be spent on passing and catching with the whole group. Some of the really good ones do that during the day and need to learn the game at practice. Some girls will never be the stars and should learn how to use their skills in a team setting. This is spoken like a parent that is mad cause their daughter doesn’t have equal plays called for her even though she isn’t as good.

But did the IAAM figure it out? Is it easy to stop? Was this player held scoreless in playoffs?

How about 4 Hero’s White families take them BACK please! They are the club hoppers never EVER happy.

M&D 26 Black in the finals at Lax for the Cure.
Where are you Green and White?

I thought it was the coach? Now it's the Hero's parents?
Why not both?

MG will turn things around

You all need so much help it’s ridiculous.

On their way home after losing. How many games has Hero’s green lost in the last few weeks? Guessing more than in the last few years. Long Island is now the center of the lax universe. Yellow Jackets easily handled M&D in the finals.

yes they did!!!!

HG with losses to YJ and Aces Elite in back to back games. Looks like some of the earlier posts about HG not being dominant as they get older is starting to come true.

Don’t get too excited, all they did was beat Heros B team.

No they beat Heros green, Heros white and M and D Black

Heros Green starting to implode. Faced tough competition and crumbled. They will make changes during tryouts and bring girls up from White. White players will jump. Don’t fool yourself. They say no but they do and will go.

Club is club and players want to be on the A team. Doesn’t matter what club, Heros Green, M&D Black, SkyWalkers Blue, HOCo Black….all A teams and everyone wants to be on them. The question is can Tierney keep the peace? Girls jumping, will White completely be ravaged and parents get fed up? Already huge divide now because of culture that Tierney allows.

Considering this is the MD board I assume they were referring to M and D, not YJ.

So much nonsense on here. 2026 has a lot of talented hard working girls. Try not to screw them up parents.

A lot of outsiders just trying to stir up trouble as well. Pretty easy to see. Relax. Enjoy being back to normal lacrosse and let the girls have fun. Just because some teams lost a couple games doesn't mean anything. These girls on all the top teams are all good athletes. They'll rebound. Just sets up for some more great lacrosse going forward.

☝🏻

True. It’s never as good as it seems and it’s never as bad as it seems.

Get the popcorn ready. This weekend will be another show

rumor has it a couple green and white girls looking at M&D now that Gagnon is the head coach. could be a real eye opener.

What position do your daughter and her friend play?
Asking for a friend.

Would serve heros right. Their young coaches are sending invites to kids on other clubs trying to get them to tryouts. This garbage needs to stop. It’s happening at 29 level. Just ask the coach see what he says.

When the White girls leave for Green, AND THEY WILL AND DO, parents left on the White Team will be upset then whining that the team is ravaged. Better start planning ahead for tryouts. If anyone on this forum thinks Tierney is not going to pluck White players, I have beachfront property in Iowa for sale.

Better start planning ahead. Think about what other club will compete. Just look at older age groups. Teams that dominate at 6/7/8th grade. Then girls level off and moves happen and it is no longer 1 team dominating. Just look from 20-24s now. Don’t get stuck out in the cold.
