BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Girls 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

Yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night for the next month. Too funny. Never were on top. And to quote someone here from last month: “making excuses for losing is rich. You all set yourselves up for this now take it.”[/quote]

I assume this is a kid and not a parent with the original excuse. But if a parent, if one girl causes your team to lose to a team then maybe your “team” really isn’t that good. How is it going to go when that girl leaves for soccer or another girl goes to a team who does make the playoffs. Good luck in the summer. Oh and if this is a kid, I suggest you stay off this site as we are all not helping your anxiety

This website is just wrong, people on this website should be be gossiping about other teams or throwing negative comments out, children on teams do see this, and it throws negative thoughts in there head, people on this website should just be talking about schedules, or where there gonna be in the summer tournament wise, not calling someone a karen or snowflake, or saying a team is trash, or making excuses, Everyone should support eachother and not bring others down! Come on parents we’re batter then this!!!

It’s not soccer season, it’s lacrosse season. Those girls should’ve been at your game. Lacrosse is not their priority. If you want to be an elite team, the spring sport should be the priority. See you this summer.

The only reason most come here is for the negative comments and Gossip?!?! ............ Snowflake

Everyone gets a trophy LOL. This site is for gossiping and most parents want to hear the good and bad about clubs and schools etc.

All the negative commenters - put your money where your mouth is. Step up and identify yourself...First name, Last name & Club. But you won't, because you're spineless losers that get off on talking trash about 14 year old girls. And for the record, I have NO skin in this game!

"Integrity lost today because we didn’t have one of our best players. A soccer conflict and was playing elsewhere today. We would have won hands down. Integrity will see you all in the summer, and will again be on top."


one player down and they cant win?? teams facing Integrity going into summer now know who to shut down.

But you still come to a smack talk board for 14 yr old girls?

And yet no name attached to your anonymous post.

Exactly. What ARE you doing on this forum? I believe CH would like a word with you.

It's time to give this argument a rest, especially since it was started by a troll not affiliated with the club.

That being said, it looks like Red will get to prove itself at Live Love Lax versus Stars Light Blue and HoCo Black.[/quote]

Why is Stars Light Blue in the same division/bracket as M&D Red and HoCo Black for Live Love Lax?[/quote]

Stars always plays in lower divisions than it should and doesn't play big summer tourneys like Lax for the Cure and Summer Genesis. At least they are playing G8 this year.

Does anyone know if crush will be staying together next year or will all of their girls be looking for new teams?

The only good player is the coaches daughter.

Mid Atlantic is very high competition and just because they didn’t make it to playoffs doesn’t make them a bad team. Stars, Integrity and Pride were all 6-2 and it came down to head to head and GD.

Just you wait.. Integrity will see you guys this summer. Every team has their bad days and that okay. In the grand scheme of things they are ONLY 14 years old and playing the sport they love.

Way to answer the question, bub. And so nicely. Maybe you meant that it depends if the coach will stay or if his daughter will want to get away from daddy-ball and upgrade to Skywalkers, NEMS, etc.

Does anyone have tryout dates for any of the clubs? Does Heros have tryouts? M&D? Skywalkers?

Email the coach at the club you want to evaluate your daughter. All will take a really talented player.

Go to their websites

On the blue and green team….trying to find a new team for your daughter to actually see the field? Heard girls shouldn’t plan on playing in tournaments this summer unless they are going to go to the Catholic school in GB?
7/11 is the week for most teams, Skywalkers week after

Actually it’s Severn

What is this nonsense?

Are all the top team tryouts the same week? Trying out for a few teams- changing teams for the first time and curious how it works when they overlap?

Club owner/ HS coach having any negative post taken down about their school/club, mentioning either by name. This post won’t last long either- can’t take the criticism or the truth

Big advantage to go first at tryouts so Clubs race to be first. Schedule the same time etc. It is awful. Find the best fit advice is almost impossible because tryouts are all the same days and there is a hard sell to commit before you can tryout someplace else. Demanded loyalty 360 days of the year tryouts over 3 days, commit in 24 hours. Maybe teams should have open practice week in last week of June. Where girls can go and practice with other teams for a day, Something like that. Current situation really hurts the players. Full credit to any girl or family that tries to leave a team in this current environment it is quite courageous.

First off, anyone serious about switching clubs (at least for an A team level) has already worked in with them during the summer. Tryouts are really focused on being a cash grab and rounding out B teams.

Also, compared to other regions, MD team tend to lock their rosters later than others. Many top NY/NJ/PA teams have their last "open" tryout for incoming 8th graders. Wouldn't mind if MD did the same -- probably works out best for all involved and significantly reduces club jumping. Would also incent good players to get on better teams earlier.

In the current situation, if I was a top club, here is what I would do -- Make offers to all of your players who want back next year. Tell them if they committ now, they don't have to tryout and require a decent sized deposit before tryouts. If they don't accept, they can tryout, but no guarantees.

Ask to work in with your targeted teams in the early summer to get a sense of where you would fit in terms of culture and playing ability.

It’s a shame. They have money, toxic tongues, and get what they want. Can’t say the truth because the truth hurts, yet they are hurting the spirit of the girls, the sport, and their health.

Would teams like M&D and Heros do that this year??

They have don’t it every year. SW too. Actually most clubs have some form of individual eval before tryouts.

Will there be another team, like last years Heros white debacle, where there is a major exodus and migration to other clubs??

History says there will be much less movement this year and less and less every year from now. The years after 6th and 7th grade tend to be the ones with most movement.

The biggest X fact as always is girls from Pride and Stars who don't make Capital Blue who are looking for an MD based club. Will impact middle tier clubs south on BWI more than others.

Have never heard a club say no. Actually probably better to do it at end of spring season compared to during summer when practices are usually just glorified walk throughs

Hero's does it all the time. 25 played SW White last year, practiced all summer with Heros Green

She did not practice all summer with Hero's Green.

M and D Red will fold. Some girls will be trying out at other clubs, coaching staff wanting to move to the black team, parents and players are toxic. SR is not forth coming with details, and not answering questions.

This rumor was posted previously on Page 69. Red coaches become the black coaches. Maybe the band aid is being ripped off.

That’s because it is the same pot-stirrer posting his fantasy.

Don’t think this will be true. MG will stay one more year at least.
