Predators are gonna get stomped. Can’t wait to see it.[/quote]

[ChillLaxin] about the parents and coaches like the rest of us.

Which team?

Yep, You are a True Blue Baltimorion, Absolutely no sense of humor and talk out both sides of mouth. Predators got your Club down,

Predators stink. I don’t know who they have or who their coaches are, but they won’t be good.
Bank on it.

There seems to be a lot of censorship happening on this forum

that was sidewinders 27.

Sorry your son cant make Predator team, I guess he stick skills stink. Please have him Hit The Wall ,

Just found this forum.
How is everyone’s club looking this year? My son plays for Koopers. We had a good year, won Lake Placid this summer. Poised for a good fall and spring. Who else will give us a game and compete well this year in the 27 age group?
Thanks!

Their coach is a clown

Man…. I hope this is a joke.

LOL, you are clearly a member of the flat earth society: the MIAA and State MVP is a Hawk. Different Hawk players won the NHSLS and UA Highlight MVP awards. Their 2022 team has been the best team nationally over the past 3 years. They have several other excellent age groups and are now the best club program in MD. Please get your wooden stick re-strung.

Jump on board the Predators. Most Koopers already have.

Koopers won the B division in Lake Placid.

Must you rain on their parade.

No rain. The boys played hard in the division they were entered. That’s all you can ask. Still proud of their play and hustle. Added a few new faces this summer. What will the rest of the AAA division look like next year?

Do any of the koopers teams matter? 2k for rec teams.

Funny how the FCA parents that left love him now but forget how he played favorites and his son never came out of the game. Enjoy the honeymoon. You will definitely have buyer’s’ remorse. When your kid reaches 8th or 9th grade you better be ready to holdback and pay for an Extra year of BL (a garbage school) or they’re going to be on the outs. Don’t kid yourself it happens every year. Why do you think crabs stinks at the younger ages but suddenly gets better.

One of my older sons was asked by his crabs coach to switch from public to private and hold back so we did. And I know for a fact he wasn’t the only one. Not saying it’s wrong or right, it’s just the truth.

Koopers offered 25 and ‘27 teams last year and both were in AAA.

Those are good rec teams.

AAA is equivalent to rec? Yeah, okay. Would love to see a local rec team play a AAA club team. Nah, I wouldn't.

Several do ?? Just Saying

Is MD going to have any WSYL teams or is 91 LI just going to cruise to the cup?

Just more hogwash from posters here who like to trash everyone outside of a few clubs. Don't listen to the negative noise. There are a lot of good lacrosse teams and clubs out there. But the coaches/parents of a few teams like to say if you don't play for their 3 "Elite" clubs, the rest are garbage. AAA, AA and A stinks!

Simply not true. There are good teams/players everywhere.

There's lots of insecure parents on these boards. And a lot of program directors who MAKE A LIVING off of scaring parents into believing BS.

The reality is, early recruiting is gone. Club lax is much less relevant today. Sure it's good for kids to play competitive ball and stay sharp in the summer. But program directors want you to think it still REALLY matters. They have to. Doing so, pays their bills.

It's just a game for kids. The good ones will be found in hs-wherever they go. Public or private. There are a TON of college lax programs if your kid wants to play. And D1 is not always the best. There are a lot of lousy, unsupported, D1 programs. And D3 has some really great programs.

Now that we've cleared that up, please carry on your usual circular conversations.

Holy smokes… this is the first logical thing I’ve ever read on this board.

Not me. I prefer the delusional posts stating a AAA club team is the same as a rec team. I like my posts of the crazy nature.

Seriously ?? Speak for yourself. It is D1 or bust for us parents of elite players. Top Elite Club only, MIAA . Sorry you are not able to reach those .

Say it louder for the crazies in the back!!

Played his favorites or brought over his friends kids who didn’t try out for the team or attend any practices. Funny FCA started out so strong and could have been a great team but the “wonderful” coaches destroyed that. Good luck to the Crabs this coming season. You’ll soon see for yourself.

Nothing better than a scorned FCA parents. See ya Golo’s!!!

Going to be 91 LI as winner. All mid Atlantic aremassive holdbacks, can't beat the kids who are normal age.

What clubs will have teams?

Hold M Back Mac only cares about collecting a check until high school-coaching up until that point is all over the place-no consistency. Sometimes even in the high school years the coaching is sub par. In 7th & 8th grade he tries to get your son to come to BL and holdback, as well as now recruiting for the boarding school. If this model is not working your sons Crabs team is doomed. BL players are also protected during these years if they are worthy of making the team or not. All of these actions create much turnover as your son comes through the middle school years. BL ranks among the lower schools academically if you care. Currently they are struggling with middle school enrollment-big tuition with little value... All of this turnover/confusion/kaos has not created a lot of winning at the local or national level for a while, just a few new Rovers for the ol' boy.

Let it go. You aren’t as anonymous as you think you are Mr K. You’ve been trolling a grown man (and his child) over a game for 12 year olds. Perspective. You are the poison in the well. Time to move on and focus on your team.

Love when anonymous isn’t that anonymous!

Mr.K sounds like a James Bond spy!

If that is who this is, it makes perfect sense! Angry about everything. Mumbling and stomping around like a toddler when his kid wasn’t on the field. Pretty entertaining to watch.

Enjoying this thread! Who is The elusive Mr K?
But, Goloboski? Yeah, good luck with that guy. The player is undersized and is t even that good anyway. Kid of a worthless argument imo

-Mr.K

Misconception #2-

"Elite" Clubs are the only ones with good teams.

The reality is, there is no such thing as a truly "elite" club. Many of the big-name clubs have just one or two top-tier teams. Those are the ones they promote the most all over the internet and sites like this. The rest is all smoke and mirrors, social media marketing, and PR.

The reality is many "elite clubs" have mediocre and even bad "B" squads to fleece desperate wannabe parents out of money.

There are good teams everywhere. But most club programs just have one or two.

Can you find it? It's usually the team where parents cheer for the whole team, coaches are trusted to coach, and the kids hang out off the field.

Now that we've cleared that up, please carry on your usual circular conversations.

…. Spoken like a real Mr K.
