Ha! But crabs are good! Meant to say “dominated”. But again, who doesn’t like crabs?!!

Check the DCE STATS; what do you come up with?

Where do I find them?

Thanks DCE goalie dad. Most of us on here know your history with these teams.

Is there a team he hasn’t played for?

What does it matter; focus on your own kids development. The kid is a stud; my sons team played against him last week and he was one of the best players on the field. Stop by our game this week and I’ll tell you the same thing face to face.

What if I post my "feelings" but they "self-identify" as "facts?" Does that help "my son's" ranking?

Please stop DCE goalie dad. You are not a very intelligent person overall and it is very obvious.

Ok again DCE goalie dad.

If you need to pump your kid, what does that say?

Such hostility for someone whose “sons team played against him”. Nice try dad. Answer the question, is there a team your son hasn’t played for? Why all the club hopping? Always looking for greener grass, becoming toxic to the team, combination of both?

DCE dad here (not the goalie's) why does it matter to all you brainiacs where the kid played? He is a great player and all the parents like him. Deal with it. I would say focus on your own kids but that won't really go anywhere. DCE has a lot of new kids and starting to find their rhythm as a team. Why don't you focus on your own teams development.

Played for True, Hawks, and DCE, in that order, correct? If this is about greener grass, he is doing a nice job of choosing teams. Next stop Crabs?

Do what you got to.

Nobody should be faulted for leaving Hawks, it is a toxic environment for kids.

Don’t forget the sidewinders 😱

Sidewinders too

Says someone who got cut from the Hawks? Unless you are part of it, you have no idea what the environment is like.

2026 Hawks peaked in 6th grade. Put that in your pipe.

Hawks were down a pretty key player vs True (my son's team). No one seems to be mentioning that. Probably because only True and Hawks parents watched the game.

You must be new here. The dad has thumped his chest and posted on here for years. As a result of that he has made himself, and by extension his son, a target for derision. My son knew the kid and thought he was a super nice humble kid. Or at least he was a few years ago. They are no longer around each other so they don't have that communication now. The attacks are not on a kid. They are on the condescending methods and the hubris of the father. When you repeatedly burn bridges on your way out of town you should expect it. I am happy you are enjoying playing with him now. If the pattern holds, you will be an ex team mate in. A couple of years too. Then you can decide if the criticism was fair.

LOL we all see the environment on the sidelines every Saturday; do you (2) think no one can hear what you are saying? What is amazing is the constant awareness of what other kids are doing; it is both 'creepy' and to be honest shows your insecurity about where your kids are at!! How's 2nd LSM treating you? Yep size matters.

When has your team peaked? Or even better, when have they beaten them?

WSYL - see you soon

When will that WSYL team play again?? thought so.

What position(s) was missing? Hurt? Sick? Driver's Ed?

Uh playing now as DCE.

That's not exactly accurate. There are a number of kids from that Black Ops team on DCE, but many kids from that team play for other clubs. That said, I do think DCE stands a good shot of beating Hawks this season.

FO - Hawks
Midfield - Even
Attack - Even
GK - DCE
Coaching - DCE

DCE wins with better coaching

Toss up on male fragility.

Is DCE going to be around for the 27’s? It appears like 26 will be the last team?

Huh? What is this cryptic message about?

DCE is blessed to have the richest parents who will pay for year round training from their ‘coach’ or his associates. They will be good for 2 years, then they will fizzle out when you can’t pay to grind. If you have unlimited funds, willing to play in tournaments to pad the coaches/directors pockets, DCE is for you. If you want to be developed, and work, look elsewhere.

The message is not cryptic and I would love to know the answer, because I have a son who is a 2027 and the two good 2027 teams in the DMV (NextLevel and Madlax) are both a mess. If anybody knows plans about DCE 2027, please share!

Not cryptic at all. I was trying to find out when this year's tryouts would be and went to the site. The site's not updated for summer tryouts. The teams page isn't updated for the 25's or 26's. The founder's kid is a 2025 so I don't know if the club is going to continue. I emailed the contact page and got no response. The Facebook page has last year's tryouts pinned to the top and someone asked about this year's and there was no response. I think it's a valid concern.

Does anyone on botc know if they are going to be around for the 2027's next year?

Was cut from DCE

Well that is a new one. Are the parents of DCE richer and more willing to pay for coaching, travel, tournaments than VLC, MadLax, Crabs, Hawks? My son is on one of those teams and I'm pretty sure that I spend as much on lacrosse as the average DCE family. Do DCE families go to tournaments in private jets or provide the players cocaine and hookers? Unless they are doing stuff like that, I don't see how they are spending more than the rest of us.

Welp you just lost the D measuring contest peewee.

Ever notice it’s the players who aren’t keeping up with the most obnoxious Dads?
