US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2030 Midatlantic

They are currently in the Aloha Cup this weekend, beating such power houses as BLC, the FCA b-team, and the someone called the SP Mixers.

I’m sure Hawks Dad is embarrassing himself, the team and his son…
I remember thinking that Hawks team had potential, but that was years ago

Also saw a few current True Chesapeake kids on that Hawks team

Got a thing for the clippers? They look good on instagram AND the field.

That True team seems to be unraveling … NAL Invitational this weekend has a good field of teams

I think Next Level is missing from NAL. Disappointing, would be a good test for all teams.

What's going on?

What 8 teams make it out of the bracket and into playoffs at NAL? Should have been 10 teams in playoffs some good teams will lose out based on goals

Next Level is going to tristar…prolly issues w age

Red Hots Maryland ….

Look good on instagram- anyone on earth can look good on instagram. I would not submit that as evidence of anything.

Saw the fool stm mom this past weekend how embarrassing.

Yes, it is disappointing that Cabell/MadLax blocks certain teams from NAL.

Why don’t you hold your kid back another year like all the other overconfident DB on this site. You say it’s for lacrosse but your kid is just notIntelligent.

Dukes Elote ends up on top; I’m shocked Cyclones didn’t win, but that’s why you play.
Congrats to them - lotta talent on those 2030 rosters man

Looooong drive back to the Island on a hot Sunday…
Philly bringing the boom all weekend!

Rebels Aces parents…Wowza!
To think, you all loved coming on here, shooting your mouths off and now leave DE going 0-5 at NAL.
Tough weekend

Not sure what the problem is. They seem to be a pretty good team, just won there tourney this past weekend. Do not know why players would ever consider leaving for a dumpster fire like the Hawks. The Hawks is a last place AAA a team at best.

I watched that Hawks team at NAL, wow. A few years ago, they were at least competitive…this team is in desperate need.

Next Level never goes to NAL, nothing to do with age. Age was verified during HOCO...

Not invited to NAL. Politics at its best

Maybe that’s why the “coach” blasted an email to all former players with promises….steak dinner? Ha ha ha

What was the issue again, parenting or coaching? The mass exodus to Clippers was because of what?
I recall them running their offense through 1 player, constantly off the wheel play but they were at least competitive

With Tryouts around the corner....
Top teams to tryout for:
1. FCA
2. Crabs
3. Clipppers

Top teams to stay away from:
1. Hawks
2. Hawks
3. Hawks
4. Next Level

You forgot to mention stay away from Hawks !

What is wrong with Next Level? Parents? Or coaches?

Entitlement, new coach that blew it up, team HAD multiple scorers not 1.

No need to tryout. Team is already set. Save your money. They may take one or two elite guys.

I think the Dad was referring to the Hawks; they were competitive, then everything fell apart. I heard it was the parents, coulda been coaching too

Parents and a coach got former coach fired

I am going to throw out 91 as a place to look at. The other three mentioned all are good organizations, and every one of those clubs offer something a little different. I can speak from experience that the coaching and development is excellent at 91. The team has grown tremendously this year, and if you talk to most parents, they are very happy with the organization and how things are run. The head coach not being a dad was very attractive to our family, if your son works hard and is coachable, he will improve and see the field a lot. Nothing wrong with dad coaches and their recruiting of their kid's friends is why they usually win in Middle School, but that all ends in two years and is a very short-lived thing. They also promote multiple sport athletes, some other teams pressure kids to pick one sport/team in Middle School. If you want your son to be prepared and on the right track as he enters the High School phase of his career, 91 is absolutely somewhere to consider.

It was all of the above. Classless parents and daddy ball, uncle ball and neighbor/buddy ball at its best. And unfortunately for Hogan he played his cards all kinds of wrong.

That Hawks team was never competitive. Had a losing record in Hoco for 3 straight years. The coach resigned before the 4th year. Then with several favorite parents took the “best 8” starters and their talent to the clippers. End of story….

Couldn’t be more incorrect

They certainly were more competitive then they are now

Technically the last poster is correct! Based off his lost definition of competitive (per the hoco website) they did win 2 more games last year than this year. Big gotcha moment!

How much more competitive are the clippers this year? Both these teams are cancerous and not that good.

Yes. With players that went and left.

Hawks lost by a greater margin to all teams they played before and new ones, won by much smaller margin to teams they had beaten before = less competitive
