US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM MD Girls 2028

Coppermine has their tryouts scheduled for 6/25 and 6/26- a full two weeks before any other club. Might encourage some of those that want to give it a shot to show up for tryouts (at the risk of ticking off their current club). Hope Coppermine does not drag out the selection process to allow those that they cut to find a new home.

The 2028s are July 9 and 11. 2029 and younger are in June which gives an early look before the other big clubs.

How about stfu! You have no clue what happened just want to bad mouth a club anyway ! Please let us know where your daughter will be playing so we don’t go there and have to put up with you for a whole year.

Coppermine is very stacked obviously. Why would someone want to join that club when its likely the hardest place to break into lineup?

Uhhhhh....what???

Neutral observer, but did you reply to the right post? That seemed to be a bizarre overreaction.

Clearly a childs response, not an adult

Alert! Drink Specials all week. $2 Happy Hour Crush specials!

Rumor on DC forum is M&D is buying the NL girls program

And they have always sought out players, not picked them up from tryouts. I am really surprised they are not doing invitation only like Hero's.

Is sitting on the bench sought after?

Does Coppermine require an answer quickly if accepted? With the other top clubs having their tryouts a couple weeks later, it would force girls to commit before going to other tryouts.

Smart move on their part. Get a jump on the other clubs who all jam the tryouts on the same nights.

deposit is due 48 hours after you are notified. Exceptions may be made for the blue team, but definitely not for black.

Is this an ad for coppermine?

FACTS - it is a small window to see kids so there are going to be misses. Just make sure you ball out at a tryout and you don't have to worry, but then again, you may look like a ball hog from trying to do so much. Good luck!

I'm old enough to remember when tryouts were always in August, then some clubs moved to mid july, then early, now June, its absurd. Tournaments are happening AFTER these tryouts. US Lacrosse needs to get a handle on this, or just do tryouts in winter, like Florida and some other regions do.

I know of a club team that had tryouts this week.

Weren't those just practices SQUEEZED in?

Must be looking to strike while the iron is hot, but is the juice worth the squeeze in the end?

Is this the open Coppermine practices or something else?

Fresh squeezed juice is always tasty, but after a bit of time, it's crushing to see it spoil.

The much anticipated American Select rosters are finally posted. Interesting mix...is one team considered and A and the other B?

Based on these rosters, my money is on team yellow.

Red is A and Yellow is B

Yes the Red is considered A and the Yellow B

Just asking a sincere, factual question: where does the Sky Walkers 2028 Blue team practice?

Mainly at St Paul’s school for girls. Going to be lots of girls at tryouts.

Multiple locations. One is The St. Paul’s School

Heros with a decisive win over Coppermine today.
Lots of competitive games at Impulse with Crush continuing to look strong. They added a top middie from M&D which only makes them stronger.

What top middie? M&D still has all their top middies as of today.

The middie that started for them since third grade until the new addition in the spring became the starter instead of her. She was still getting a lot of playing time and was a big contributer to M&D and will do the same for Crush.

Staters in club is funny! More entitlement for kids and if they don’t start they leave. Jumping in mid season too is bad. Parents are out of control.

Scores aren’t posted for Md playday meaning they are just practice games. Congrats on a practice win! Should have been at impulse where games counted !

Okay Mom

News flash, this isn't 3rd grade any more. Other players develop, get better, faster, stronger and over take the existing players. Just because players play on a team since they could walk doesn't mean they are entitled to keep the playing time. New players come in that are better and have overtaken the old players. If you don't like that, work harder and get better.

M&D beat Eagle Stix yesterday without the top middie. Guess it worked out for both sides.

May want to wait until after Live, Love, Lax to boast about your victory...that was not the complete EagleStix Blue team! Looking at the schedule, you will be lucky to get one win!

Too be fair, if a club runs two middie lines with roughly equal playing time, all six players could be considered "top" middies, especially if they play for a club ranked in the top 10. Lots of teams mix up their top 6 middies depending on the game, the draw dynamics, etc. Not saying that M&D does this, but just defending the mom's description from a general perspective.

Bigger question is why depart mid-season? Closer to Crush practice sites, etc.? Now convinced that Crush recruiting will be successful? Crush is a well-coached team on a good run, but leaving M&D--in mid-season--while entering high school, is a significant move.

Congrats to M&D - that is a great win.

fool, what is going on at M&D, never seen so many girls leave to go to other clubs. Is it a coaching issue? I'v read of issues with coaches and daughters playing time earlier, is that still the issue?
