BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM MadLax Lacrosse

The final chapters of a Landon lacrosse player. They did one 2014 Landon recruit a favor to say don't bother to enroll next year year. Ouch.

This issue happens with all college sports big schools take top 5 kids at the same postions every year. and there is only one ball and one spot. This is way they say pick a school you want to go to then look at the team. I really think there is no losers if a kid gets 4 years at Duke and never scores a goal. I am sure the new BMW will help him get over the pain.

When a kid verbally commits to Duke when he is 15 does the dad get a Duke shirt then or does he have to wait five years until the kid enrolls? And is it just one shirt, or is it home white and away blue for dads?

They go to Duke because dad pays their way. Committ.....really....just have dad pay. So right on when you say they get the Beamer upon graduation. Dads are allotted 12.5 shirts a year for the team.......same as the scholarship amount. Senior dads get first crack each year.

If a dad has attended more showcase events, can he get a choice between a white and a blue one? If a dad commits to a blue one, can he de-commit and go with the white one later? Do dads that have also paid IAC or MIAA school tuitions get second crack after the senior dads? Are there bonus shirts if your kid's namesake is above three roman numerals, nee Winthrop IV? This early recruiting thing is so complicated and hard to navigate.

The MD kids who are playing for 3d are the ones who couldn't make Crabs, FCA, etc. There are not 6 legitimate D1 players on that 2016 team.

There aren't 6 legitimate D1 players on the FCA or Crabs 2016 teams either.

There are 16, you idiot.

looking at that list, would it be fair to suggest that the schools these kids go to have a lot to do with the marketing of the players to colleges? it seems like if you just make varsity at some of these MIAA and IAC schools you will play D1 lacrosse. which is also saying D1 lacrosse is a pretty pathetic sport right now if over 20 kids from the same high school team are doing D1. that never happens in a real sport. Gonzaga is top shelf in football and they send what, 3-4 D1 major conference kids out every year? and that is pretty incredible to do in football.

and football has over 300 D1 scholarship programs.

Great point! Lacrosse is improving athletically, but not even close to touching football and baseketball athlectically. The sport is still predominantly a white upper class sport. Take a all-county linebacker that cannot get a sniff of college football and put a long pole in his hands and he is a lacrosse stud within two years and killing it!

Lacrosse struggles to get kids from soccer, football or basketball over because those are sports with a lot of college full scholarship opportunities and are legitimate money making careers for professionals. As delusional as it is to hope for NBA or NFL, kids at least know lacrosse can't pay their way for anything. Lacrosse has been and remains a safe harbor for upper class white kids who would get bombed off the field of any real sport. The all-county linebacker would rather play D3 football than D1 lacrosse.

Hey us 5-10 white guys need some sport to shine in..

Why would anyone allow their son to play for this guy?

You really need another hobby Mrs. Beckwith.

Not again?

Where else they gonna play mrs Beckwith, VLC? LOL!!!

Lacrosse parents are the worst.

This is so funny please keep bringing the email up. It keeps Madlax on there toes and treating us better then before the email. The two young guys who are second in charge run 90% of what your son sees anyway. And these two are great guys who can Marry my daughter any day. This really goes for 100% of the coaches they are all great guys. It takes "Crazy to run Crazy" The parents in this world are just as bad or worse. And to all who read this email from our crazy owner ask where is the emails from the parents you do not see? and talk to the parents still in the program not the ones of kids who where cut from the program.

That family leaving Madlax turned out to be the greatest thing for Madlax. Deadspin could cut a doozy of a story on VLC where crazy does run crazy.

The weirdo who keeps crying about Mrs. Beckwerth needs some serious help.

Substituting "Lacrosse parents" with "The current generation of parents in youth sports" would be a more correct analogy.

U15 National Champs! U13 National Champs and World Champs! Awesome job boys, coaches and Coach Cabell! Thanks for the memories

How many hold backs are on the team?

None, it was age based you moron.

OUCH!!!

LOL at Madlax idiots boasting of a "national championship".

Coach Cabell sure is a gem.

I guess it is the Program Madlax that is the National Champ for putting player together from multiple states to play in Tampa and other tournaments. How many of those players played on the same "team" throughout the year?

That tournament attracts 1-2 decent teams per division. It is a total joke to attend that one.

Well 3d,westcoast stars, and I am sure more do the same thing. And Madlax does not hide the part that the team you are playing is there National team. These travel programs are always from some kind of larger area. So all the crabs go to one school? I would like the area codes for all the hawks players. Its about being seen and playing college ball. Its the same thing as the all-star game at these one day exposure camps.

So what tournament has more than 1-2 decent teams at the Youth/Middle School level?

Wondering what the Congratulations to Madlax was referring to - the Director for building out a National Program he can pull kids from to form a National Championship team? Is it really a team? Or a showcase - then not really National Champs. Might as well do what Brine and UA do - invite top kids and split up the teams. Oh, I forgot - you can't make money like that if you a travel team.

Madlax U15 team had 3 kids from Florida. All other players from the DC area team. And, a majority of the team was 2018, playing against 2017 teams.

Madlax played Brady's Bunch, FCA National 2017, and Sweetlax 2017 in the playoffs. All very good teams.

I would like the area codes for all the hawks players.


99.9% of Hawks have a 410 area code, might be one or two with a 301 area code and one player from Delaware, Hawks must be doing something right

Didn't seem to be a joke when the Turtles won. Just sayin'

Please take your hate back to Strong Island

The difference is that the Turtles are one team that actually plays together throughout the year. Madlax and 3D put together National All Star teams. It's a joke. It's club directors with huge egos looking for bragging rights.

Madlax is a joke for bragging about winning this stupid tournament, but they don't really have a "national team". Their national teams are almost all DC kids. The kids in their program who play in FL, CA and elsewhere are pretty bad.

3D, on the other hand, does have the ability to put national teams together and does so often.

The vast majority of Hawks are from the Annapolis area. Not that many come from Baltimore or DC.

Ok let me get this correct, it a "Joke" to pull out the best 22 kids from 5 or 6 programs and have them play in front of the best of the best. Please let me know how this is bad for the 22 kids on the team? And unless your club team is all from one high school or middle school every team is a "Joke"
