Funny some dad is hanging his hat on HoCo, when you play one game a week and the weather @ChillLaxin.
They played 25-30 games this summer against solid national competition and got put through the woodchipper. 1 and 16. Find some better coaches for those kids, they’ve got good players. But can’t beat anyone at the moment

I'm not the NL guy, but other places you play one-ish game a week in volatile spring weather include high school and college lacrosse, so HOCO is arguably a closer approximation than six game in two days summer tourneys.

I don't get the point of this dumping on NextLevel. Perhaps the team has underperformed a bit, but if they are ranked 34th, they aren't supposed to beat teams in the top 30, and keep in mind that half of the teams in the top 30 are national all star teams anyhow.
Beating everyone in HoCo except Hawks and FCA is no great shakes, because there ARE a lot of non-elite teams in the area. Team 91, MadLax, and Team Money are definitely not elite, and DC Express is getting there, but they were awful back in the spring when NL beat them. The fact that NL beat Crabs in a playoff game could actually be proof of GOOD coaching, since they got their only top 30 win in a playoff game when it mattered most.

Comical. But sure ok

Has any DMV club received their fall tournament schedules?

Happy High School boys and girls!

The lacrosse starts to count for real now!

Well, in the spring.

well the official start is in spring , but the postering is going on full swing now !

Correction- that fogo didn’t go to the 2way tryouts instead chose the local team he played with in the summer and I think also stuck with his national team.

Well, fall offseason practices will start any day now.

With hoco that number isn’t even possible. You keep posting this and no one cares but you. Please grow up and worry about your own kid, who has also played on multiple teams and also started a new school this year. This forum is to talk about lacrosse not for failed attempts at “anonymously” taking shots at individuals.

Good update, FOGO dad.

Didn't mention the HS transfer though....

I’m not his dad and I didn’t mention a transfer because I didn’t know but I do know for sure that he’s on our team. Just trying to keep people honest.

Anyone curious how many kids are going to be at the ML tryouts? Im just curious with such late try outs.

Go register and find out.

No one cares about Madlax except you obsessive Chevy chase moms and dads.

You do and obviously some envy is there. ML is top program and will be in future, sorry your son couldnt get on with the best in DMV

Wow! A little angry there?

Can anyone enlighten me on the 2028 NE Select thing? S2S, Legacy (LegRush), Igloo, Madlax and Mooselax (thoought they didn't have a 28 team). Are these Select teams money grabs? Is there any benefit to trying out? Does anyone know the cost? Is it worth it to even bother trying out? Thanks

Madlax is a money grab. There are 37 kids in the roster.

That is not true, 37 for one team is impossible

Their roster is public on SE and as of a couple weeks ago, there were 37 listed. Lot of leftovers

Hi Cabell. Just sell the biz already, you’ve got nothing left around DC

Still going strong, where are you located ? Got a spot for your son

Love it! Trying to hit that number 40! Then you can say we have the largest team in the DMV!

Worst things to have on a Club is not a roster of 40...maybe a roster of 7 .. ML will always big teams as they are best in area , bar none .. Get over yourself and join the best or be left behind

I guess the question would be why would one join a team of 40? So their kid could could play a few minutes in a game while paying for the highest price club in the DMV? Or is there other reasons to join? I honestly would like to know.

So you can learn valuable life lessons about sportsmanship, character, and just going out there to have fun!

Exactly. When I think of sportsmanship and youth mentoring, Cabell Maddux is the first name that pops into my head. And to think, he does it all for free!

Correct !! He is above many in that department . He does charge a fee, but it is very reasonable and all the parents will tell you that

As it should !!!

None of which you’d learn from that fool. Anyone who has been associated with that club knows what a bad guy he is. Those who stay choose to ignore the behavior… getting kicked out of tournaments for putting hands on refs, drawing penalties non stop for unsportsmanlike behavior on sidelines, quitting when his team is getting blown out, the list goes on nd on and on… unfortunately, the other two elite club teams are full. So unless someone comes along and starts a legit 3rd club team in this area, he’ll patch together 40 kids, many from out of out area who are not aware of this guy’s psychotic behavior

It's a cult

Easy there big girl ! The man is a legend. To bad you had a bad time, the rest of the players didnt, time to move on and complain about college coaches telling little johnny he is not that good

Dude, Little Johnny is a student. Don't know what you're talking about

A cult of WINNING!

So why are you complaining. Little Johnny isnt a lacrosse player by your own admission so dont complain about the club. Youre just disappointed in your kid. Thats on you not on Cab. Cab would have made him a student of the game, a student and a lacrosse player.......be sure you give Johnny a trophy, tell him he is great and his B average will get him in to Charleston.

Either this is a really solid effort to pull off a middle school lax version of Three Year Letterman (https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/17...ckground-youth-football-coaching-legend/) - and if so, I robustly support same - or CM has hired a guy in Mumbai for a few pennies a month.

If your kid plays lax at Episcopal (or sumilar JV program) you can still come on BOTC and complain about club......but most elite players play for legit lax HSs and won't think about club until the summer.

As long as you ignore when they regularly ... don't
