Whoever posted about the Moose director and the program is just a negative angry person spewing detest. Said director is one of the most honest, positive, knowledgeable, passionate, generous people in this crazy lax world. And he was the reason some of the top talent eschewed the franchises and followed him. Things change, but he deserves nothing but respect. I agree. I have never met anyone with as much love and enthusiasm both for the sport and the kids who play it. I’m really sorry to hear the team broke up. I’m. not sure of the circumstances, but I have had kids that have played for Moose at other age levels and the only criticism I had was that the Harborfields tended to have a playtime advantage over other kids, regardless of talent or ability. Not sure if that was a factor here, but something the club may want to recognize and try to rectify moving forward.

"ruined" ? Was it favoritism for better players? If so, that is travel lacrosse.

The problem comes when less talented players are favored because of relationships with coaches. It happens on all teams and it’s normal to a certain extent for coaches to have players they favor. There has been a pattern at Moose on several grade levels of favoring Harborfields kids at the expense of kids from other towns. The coaches may not even recognize it. I’m hoping they take it as constructive criticism and work to ensure it doesn’t happen on their remaining teams. I really like this club and want to see them continue.

So if you compare the comments about moose from a year ago, which said "it's so wonderful, a grass roots team, kids love each other, building something, great kids great parents, bla bla" to these comments...you can see that all clubs basically have the same problems. Was a short honeymoon.

I disagree with the above. Then what is your explanation for why the 2026 team folded. I'm dying to hear your excuses.

The Moose 2026 team did NOT fold. In fact, they will be a solid team to watch this upcoming year. The 2028 team was a close knit group that played competitive games and was good competition for the other programs. Will see how the boys develop this upcoming year at their new clubs. Every club has pros and cons. Make sure your kid is having fun!

Did moose hold tryouts? Or did they know they were folding? Maybe “the herd” heard everyone was leaving? Express and legacy are celebrating this big time. Big clubs losing to Moose is embarrassing. Too bad for them they were unable to add any of those talented players like S2S and venom did. Was it just the 2028 moose team or other/all grades as well?

The only Moose team that folded was '28. Parents all seemingly got along. Kids all seemingly got along. There were plenty of practices, indoor and out, scrimmages, games, leagues and tournaments and head coach was ever present. travel distance for four kids was a headache, lack of playing time for a few and too great a disparity in skill between top and bottom of the roster, not to mention too many kids from one town conspired for the team to disperse. No daggers to throw. It just is what it is.

I’d be real happy if I was one of the parents in it for the long run.

MidAtlanric forum suggesting northern teams such as Venom or 2way go down and play FCA, Hawks, Madlax this fall. Sounds like what a lot of the older teams do. I think it’s a great idea

The 2027 team played at the same time as the 2028 team. Just a parent upset that their team didn’t fare as well in the tournament so they make things up...
