Been a quite offseason. Who were the big winners? What tournaments are teams in for the fall? Any predictions for Elite teams for HOCO spring?

Next Level - new righty attack
ML
Crabs
Hawks
Who cares

FCA has two teams now and will be entering the A team into Elite this year.

Who cares

You do and will always. If not , your son will never be on any D1 roster .

You sound like a joy to be around on the sideline

FCA is not elite level of ready. They don’t have the depth to play NL or ML. Waste of time and energy

Some of us take it seriously , D1 is a commitment form your son and to a big the parent many are not ready for

While they are a step behind, there are not that bad. Sorry your son was dissed by them. Move on

Don't worry, your son will put in the work in HS and achieve his dreams.

He won't have to live vicariously through his son when he grows up and has kids of his own.

Lacrosse is full of D1 players that were pushed to get to a high level . This sport doesnt get that many real elite athletes.
It is made up of many decent athletes who are all similar in ok ability, That is way holding back works so well in Lacrosse and not as well in Football and BB. D1 lacrosse isnt for every parent or their son. Just the ones that want it and are willing to push their son .

What tournaments are teams going to be at this fall?

Any teams still looking, accepting players?

Team91 will take you.. if you don’t currently play for a club, make sure you tell them you do. They will only take you if they know they are poaching you from another club.

That is correct ! Key is to say you are another club but not happy.

This is so spot on.

Team 91 will take any kid who has a parent who believes they have an elite player but can’t make any other real elite team. Pay to play at its finest

This is spot on

Which teams are considered elite?

Depends on which bitter, disenfranchised parents you talk to and how they define elite. For the 2031s probably only Next Level and Mad Lax.
In reality, all of the teams in the Elite division have some quite talented young players. But, if you acknowledge talent elsewhere vs. painting with a broad brush and dumping on everyone but the teams you favor…well where is the internet fun in that?

A team is only really as good as its bottom half. Safe to say team 91 bottom half was filled with AA and A players as opposed to the rest of the hoco elite teams which bottom half is far more skilled with players who would be good players in AAA for example

Crabs lost to both the “elite teams “ by a goal last year.

And how did they do against one of those "elite teams" last week?

What happened to HoCo 2031? They had a good team but really struggled this fall

Last year’s team split up thanks to a dad who wasn’t getting his way. Ruined a great team.

Not sure if I missed something but they lost to one of those “elite teams” by 10 in the regular season. Just being accurate

Easy there ,,,Easy

Think they lost to one of those “elite” teams by 10 in the HOCO season. Just saying.
