US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys High School

Serious question- Why would a kid want to play for a club that is "connected" to a HS?

ie: both FCA and at CH.

Maybe play for FCA in Middle school if you want to get in to CH and have a chance at standing out among so many incoming freshmen.

But if CH=FCA, wouldn't it be good to diversify for recruiting purposes?

Get 2x as many people working for your recruitment instead of the same 2 people.

Thanks.

If a club coach has 2 similar players and one plays for his HS team, he's going to prefer his HS player and give that player more exposure. Same is true the other way. There is no way a coach can be completely objective in that situation.

So there's advantages and disadvantages either way you go. I guess it's something to consider but I think there would be more important determining factors if you're choosing between clubs or HS.

Diversify. Just like stocks. Twice as many options and twice as many safeguards.

can someone tell me when public school lacrosse starts, is it march 1 and then the earliest they can have games is 2 weeks later?
Is there a schedule of the public school games anywhere?

Nope, not in MIAA. It is better if your club is associated with your school. Like above, if two players are similiar or evn close, Club /HS trumps just one.
Plenty exposure in MIAA , just play and club/HS gets you to play

I googled "hereford hs lacrosse" and this was the first thing to show up:

You might also search on facebook to see if the team's page lists games.

Stall ball who cares. Public schools need a shot clock

Schedule/results for Maryland public schools. You can search by county/school/sport. This season’s schedules are starting to load.

https://www.countysports.zone/ Seems to be one of the better sites for public school schedules and scores..... Sometime not up to date...

That is chump change for that. This weekend proves how to get to the top . Hold back, Father Coach, Ball goes thru son entire club time, change Prep School to get place to start, Use sibling to get higher on debt chart at start, Switch recruiting colleges to best place to start... Viola Freshman Super Star in college.

Nailed it.

If you want to complain about kids getting ahead by gaming the system, there are plenty of examples . . . but I'm not sure you can point to Millon after this weekend.

If anything this weekend proved just the opposite. He would've been a star coming out of HS no matter what . . . playing on age, without daddy ball, without a great sibling, etc. The kid started as a frosh at attack for UVA and looked like the best player on the field at times. The kid is extremely talented. Maybe his club coach should've been running the offense through him if he's that good? Not sure why you're so bitter.

MIAA letters going out today. Good luck everyone!

Thanks Mark. I’m sure you are very proud of your 20 year old freshman.

Bitter ? He would have been an average player coming out of HS being on age, not having offense revolve around him entire club time, staying at first school ... Give Daddy credit, he got him there. Nothing wrong with that

Technically he's a junior age labeled as a freshman this year...

Got mine ! Only thing, is that is for enrolling in college as a Junior due to my age !

My son is at one of those teams/schools. He’s been at other teams but when you find the right coach and the school happens to be a great fit why leave. If my son plays well there are plenty of opportunities through the coach and school.

St. Paul’s impressive today! MCD and BL put on notice!

🤣🤣🤣

LOL... yeah right. Pass the blunt

Oh yes, it's def the liberals trying to run people's lives. Ha! Do yourself a favor and turn on the news... who is limiting women's access to healthcare, banning books, butting into people's sexuality and gender identity? NO ONE is angling for big gov more than the Repubs. This is a fact.

St. Paul's Parent????

True. And if the HS and Club coach's son plays your position, or you find yourself on the wrong line, good luck.

No you [Censored]. BL. So stop labeling everyone bc you know nothing. Small minded and fragile imbecile.

Butting into gender identity? You cannot be serious; you’re joking, correct? You don’t get to tell me what your gender is, biology does…and that means I’m butting in?
Lockdowns, school closures, forced vaccines, sending money to foreign countries…
Only one side is butting in, spanky

Dunning Kruger comes to mind with that statement.

Didn’t the lockdowns, schools closures, forced vaccines happen under Trump? We’ve been sending money to foreign countries forever. Let me guess you detest that we send money to Ukraine but are fine with money going to Israel.

Yeah screw humanity, am I right? We don't need no stinking govt. Every man for himself. 'merica

HERE WE GO CRUISEES HERE WE GO!!!

Thts true anywhere dads coach, yes.

Doubled trouble if you play for CH and FCA.

Hot take... Loyola Blakefield doesn't lose this whole year

Bingo

Loyola is gonna be victorious this year!!!! Bl is looking kinda stinky if you ask me. The only real competition we have is McDonough. HAHAHA just kidding they [Censored] to. JC however thats some real comp.

Couldn't agree more

Hot Take, Loyola does less with more as they do every year. Their one hope is that many of the name brand players of last few years, you know, the ones that played due to name over much better players,,,,are gone.

Funny how no freshman made varsity this year at Loyola. Good think the Cookie Monster doesn’t have younger kids or he’d be driving to St Mary’s every day. You know, because that’s where Coach U is now keeping the tradition of hooking up his buddies

Buddies at St. Mary’s? Did tryouts show that?

How would you know since rosters haven’t been posted yet? 🤔
