Girls 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region - US Lacrosse Community Forum

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse about Girls from the 2026 grad class in/around the Mid-Atlantic region.

Another dominant weekend for Heros. It doesn't look like anyone is going to catch them this year, i thought M&D would have gotten stronger.

Yes, Heros looks great now, but the other girls will catch up over the next few years.

Who are the top 10 at this age group? My daughter was playing up the last two years

Club rankings by age group based on age group.... https://www.USCL.com/rankings.html

Are any clubs besides M&D collecting money for the summer season ? I am curious how clubs are handling the wait and see pattern for the summer season. Are any clubs offering refunds or credits for the spring season that now seems to be completely canceled ? I am not advocating one way or another - I'm just curious what other clubs (heros/coppermine/Skywalkers/MD United/hoco) are doing. AS this virus lingers longer and longer it seems possible summer won't even be played. Even if the lacrosse clubs and tournament directors want to play - the facilities and schools may not be open or available. I'm hearing of colleges beginning to close/cancel summer activities. There may not be fields to play on. I don't know how prudent paying for summer lacrosse is at this point - maybe a month from now we will know more. I'm just curious to see how it is being handled in different clubs.

Any information is appreciated.

I can't speak for other clubs but I would follow professional sports. Each day that goes by is at least 30-45 days that pro seasons get pushed out. That would mean that if we got the ok to open things up pro baseball and other summer sports would not even start until beginning or end of June. I also think kids sports are lowest on the priority list when things open up and our new world will be more controlled when it comes to events. That said, I understand where the club directors are coming from. I would not pay them a cent unless the clearly define how or if they credit/refund the players.

Tournaments rarely refund clubs. At most they credit some of the tuition towards future tournaments. Payments made in the summer are normally used to pay fall touranments. Clubs are required to sign up for fall tournaments in Jan, Feb, March. It is a very tough situation all around. If you have committed to a club for the year you have committed to paying the tuition for the year.

Commitment is a 2 way street. Parents are paying for a service, which at this point has not been delivered. So if parents have the resources to help keep their clubs afloat, great. But to think that parents should feel obligated to pay more for future services when they haven't received what they are do and have paid for is a bit much. There are many other club options out there and the ones that handle this situation correctly will be just fine.

Yes other clubs are.

It's going to be interesting to see how the first tournaments go. Some of the girls I thought would have been practicing like crazy over Covid didn't, others did. Seems to be a common thread and happened on my son's team as well. I've spoken to other parents who say it's the same on their teams as well.

What say you?

Covid upended lives, just enjoy the fact the kids get to play, an not worry so much about how tournaments are going to go. I could care less if my kids teams lose this summer. Just to be back out there is huge for them.

I was very pleased to see that our club chose to be safe and go by State guidelines. These are middle school kids -no recruiting . Yes Integrity and MDU kids were illegally practicing but that should tell you all you need to know.

What are the other 26 teams doing re: tryouts? My daughter's team is having tryouts, then playing a tournament then announcing who made the team. It's ironic because in the past they would put the hard sell on committing after tryouts now they want you to be in limbo for a few weeks. It also makes trying out for backup squads interesting if they are not doing the same thing.

Is this happening elsewhere?

Not much choice when tourneys are into August . The hard sell clubs are doing early tryouts to lock in the money from the sucker parents. MDU/Integrity .

My daughter tried out for both Mdu and integrity in the past. Mdu put the hard sell on, integrity didn’t. It was a big turnoff.

Not a fan of either club. Older D moved to another club -much happier and D1 scholly

Speaking of which, heard MDU and Integrity played yesterday with Integrity winning in a close one. They are in the same bracket again this weekend with M and D and others. Will be nice just to see them play again.

I have a boy and girl in club lax, from my experience the club sets the tone but the coach makes or breaks the deal. Glad it worked out.

Anyone know what happened at impulse for the 26s? LBC, Bethesda and the other division?

LBC went 3-0 this weekend and 3-0 last weekend . Big game against Hero's in Owing Mills next week

Who did LBC play?

LBC has a tough schedule this weekend. Heros Green, M&D Black and LI Legacy.

On Saturday - Bethesda, Integrity and MD United
Last week - TLC, MD United, Redshirts

Apparently 45 or so girls at the Integrity tryouts. Some girls from MD United and CCLax, not sure how competitive the turnout was but everything I've heard about the Integrity coach has been positive. Seems like a great coach.

I don't get why so many girls would go to MD United when so many their girls are looking elsewhere. They had 5 tryout at M&D last year, 2 at integrity etc etc.

I would expect them to tryout for LBC since they are close and have a better team/foundation. LBC seems like the perfect opportunity if you're a good player considering they have a short bench and are already a good A level team.

Maybe they don't like the bridge?

I heard (totally unsubstantiated rumor) that LBC is moving practice to Berlin next year. Can anyone from LBC confirm?

I can confirm that this is not true. LBC has practiced in Easton or QA County and will continue to do so. They have a couple practices a year at DE Turf .

Thank you, my source is generally accurate about 50% of the time. Thanks again.

LBC and saltwater dolphins merged apparently

The teams did not merge a big portion of the Saltwater players from some teams tried out for LBC.

How many girls are on the LBC 26 roster? Seemed like they had a really good team with a small bench.

Not sure but LBC usually has small benches to keep the teams competitive and the girls get to play a lot.

That would almost be good for the girls More than the club... imagine that.

LBC is a true not for profit. They only pay non parent coaches. The club doesn't put 20-23 players on a team to just make money like all of the other clubs.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJM2RIpMsp/

- Not true you say?

Not true you say? My daughter plays on a younger age group. LBC is still LBC and the majority of the Saltwater players tried out for LBC. I think Saltwater still has like two teams.

Why are you getting so defensive that the teams merged..they merged and are staying under the "LBC" name, not a big deal, move on....

Aren't they in different places? Queen Anne's county vs. Berlin? Not sure how that would work.
I'm not sure why I care, my daughter plays somewhere else

.

LBC parent has some esteem issues. She was obviously mistaken .

How are the other clubs paying for HoCo fall? We just got a bill for Fall after just paying for the entire season.

"Nothing's free at M&D"!

Anybody else get hit up for a separate fee for spring HoCo season?

It’s an extra so your team pays for it.

Where are LBC fall practices being held?

Queen Anne High School

In the fall most of the practices were at QA Turf and one at DE Turf. I was told in the spring they will be in QA and Easton. Some of the teams have had girls from Berlin since LBC started.

2025 and 2026 are at QA HS

LBC had a total of 4 practices for the fall season. Two were at QA HS, one at the DE Turf and one in Berlin.

Have they posted any ranking for the 2026 girls?

6) Aces
7) Jesters
8) Tradition

That lost is way off.

who did eagle stix beat? Of the NY/NJ teams, Monster is the best after YJ ... by a lot

At every age group! Both us club lax abs lax magazine are clueless.

I think M&D had 7 loses this fall. I think some of these teams are ranked on reputation not performance.

Completely agree - they are a joke in each age group. Don't know why anyone would pay attention to it.

You might be right but can’t be at the top of you playing b , c or d division each tourney. Hero, M&D and YJ play the best each weekend. Not like some of these teams that play weak tournies and duck the good ones each week. Eagle stix doesn’t belong anywhere near the top of this list.

The hero’s white team beat them 4 Times

Not a big fan of the Heros organization, however the 2026 White team is legit. Seen them play numerous times.

All the teams in the top 10 are very good. It's great to see good lacrosse and these girls all get better. Being the top 10 in the country in oustanding

M&D black 26 ever best YJ Manning?? Don't think so

Hero’s white has a good defense

I’d like to know how hero’s white is 5th on one list but not on the other list at all.

Look at the rankings. The people putting them out hear a couple names and see who won the last time they played. Then fill in rest of list by picking names from a hat. They are worthless and useless.

I guess the teams are closer in skills than I thought. If the hero’s B team is beating the No. 2 ranked team, M&D, on a regular basis.

Straight from the club director of LBC

You both should be ashamed of yourselves. When your children grow up and have zero moral compass you will know exactly where it came from. LBC has been very good to you during your darkest times as well as both of your daugthers. In the summer you told Smitty you were 100% committed to playing and said you wanted to be “the ONLY Goalie”. You have now left 18 girls in the middle of the year high and dry. It takes a special kind of family to do this.

No need to tell anyone on the team or on LBC what this says because I will forward it so there is no question or misunderstandings.

Karma is tough and you will get what you deserve unfortunately you have now put your daughter in the same position to be judged by your poor parenting. She has to go to school with a handful of girls that she committed to and has now left. Living with the consequences of your actions can be tough. I can’t imagine any parent or player on this team would think it is morally acceptable to leave your team mid-season because “you found a better opportunity”.

A wise person told me “unhappy people go elsewhere looking for something better but they have to take themselves with them so they are never happy” . You both should be ashamed of yourselves. When your children grow up and have zero moral compass you will know exactly where it came from. LBC has been very good to you during your darkest times as well as both of your daugthers.

What is this in reference too? What happened?

Didn’t this club have some posts a while back about losing goalies? If I remember correctly for the posts, this will make the 4th goalie in a year.

If you are not the person who received this email, you have absolutely no business getting involved and putting this out there.Way to absolutely destroy this girl by posting this. Shame on YOU.

incredible

Maybe it will destroy LBC?

Heard they lost one to Hero's but that was it. They must be doing something right if the other clubs want their goalies so bad.

Stay classy LBC

What will destroy LBC?
A 2026 goalie who is going to play for a B team because her parents were flattered by Altig. She promised her to be the 26 goalie for high school. The 2026 LBC team will continue to beat MDU by 10 goals a game. They have a field player who is a better goalie than the one they lost.

I assume by the self-righteous tone in this email that LBC will not be trying to recruit a goalie from another club. If they do, then these words ring pretty hollow.

After reading that note from the LBC organization to those poor parents, there’s nothing classy about them. That’s a shame.

Ahhh....LBC chiming in. Director or parent of child who is the field player and a better goalie who is also a coach of the 26 team? One day LBC will understand that player development is more important than winning games. I do believe that Maryland United 2026 team went to the championship game at the final fall tournament while LBC 2026's went home. The 2026 goalie also has a sister who is a 2025 field player that switched this year from LBC to Maryland United and Maryland United beat LBC in the championship game. There's no need to be flattered by a coach, maybe if LBC held up to their end of the bargain by having goalie coaching at every practice the goalie would still be there.

WOW...the fact that someone felt the need to post this...NO WORDS!!!!! Do you feel better now?????

They have lost a number of goalies over the years. LBC does not produce good goalies, the parents who spend endless amounts of time and money do.

This email should not surprise anyone who has ever been affiliated with this organization. No matter what the circumstances are if your child leaves they will trash you and your entire family.

100% TRUE!!!

I don't know why anyone would want to be associated with this Club. My daughter has played against one of their teams and I was disgusted by the behavior of their coaches on the sidelines, along with parents behavior in the benches. Not an organization I would want to be connected to. It's not just about "winning"...the older these girls get, they will eventually (hopefully) see the big picture.

good point. For an organization so focused on winning, you would think that they would win more.

My daughter plays for this club and I don't see this club only "focused on winning" ever. Actually the coaches and directors constantly tell parents and players it isn't about winning it is about growing as players. My understanding is the families who left in the past left because they said this coach wasn't trying to win. Every fall practice I was able to attend I saw at least one coach working with the goalies so not sure who said they didn't get goalie coaching.

The email to family is most appalling IMO.

Poor parents. That’s funny !

You may want to rethink who your daughter is playing for. Beyond embarrassing that the Club director (or coach) would behave in this manner. Curious to how quick they do damage control. I'd be mortified that this was made so public.

Appalling? I would think it is pretty appalling to commit to a team for the year. Tell them you don't want any other goalies and then quit. I can't think of anything more appalling to these teammates. It sounds like the letter is pretty accurate if it is true.

LBC has promised goalie coaching over and over and that’s why these goalies leave. Having an Elementary gym teacher who knows very little about goalie position is not cutting it. The goalie parents pay over $50 an hour to have someone other than an LBC coach train them. Not because they want too but because they have too. LBC keeps making the same mistake over and over. Hard headed or notIntelligent.

Please explain your comment? All these girls that play for a club team commit to play for them for the year - you make a committment.Period. If you play for that year and are unhappy THEN you move on and try to make it on to another team when tryouts are at the end of the Summer. NOT during the year.

They only have one real goalie for 3 teams. A 26 goalie who plays for the 25 b team. The goalie who has been playing for the 25 a team is a field hockey player that is playing to help them out until her travel field hockey team starts. To continue to say she wanted to be the only goalie, there are no other goalies. Goalies did come to tryouts but ultimately decided this was not the team for them. They were not cut, they didn't come back. They are the only club team with no goalie coaching.

Goalies are a difference maker/key players. If you don't get what you are expecting/promised it's time to move on. This director is very selfish!!

Of course the timing of tryouts are rigged so you have little time to move to another team. The clubs not allowing time for their players to tryout will inevitably lead to this type of poaching. Loyalty seems to be a one way street with most clubs.

You must be that coach/parent/director making this response. This is so high schoolish behavior.

Commitments go both ways. If the family was promised dedicated positional training and it wasn't delivered in full, then i have no issue with them leaving even if it during a break in the season.

Also, LBC was having mid-season tryouts for their 27s last weekend, so they understand (and in fact encourage) some kids make moves between fall and spring.

People are allowed to change their minds. And now we understand why people are running for the hills with this type of abuse from this club.

The saddest part about this entire situation is that the main objective of being about the players and the girls well being is completely lost. In 7th grade, the girls should be learning and developing a deeper love and passion for the sport, not being discussed as just a pawn or object in a bigger scheme or drama. It’s infuriating that adult/club politics and emotions rob players of these opportunities. As a coach or leader, it’s your responsibility to inspire these kids, not bully parents and trash everyone you don’t like. They need to grow the heck up and actually do their darn jobs and work their jerks off for the kids and stop putting so much effort into running their mouth

If you play for that year and are unhappy THEN you move on and try to make it on to another team when tryouts are at the end of the Summer. NOT during the year.

Disclaimer, don’t have a daughter that plays for LBC, nor do I coach there, however am familiar with the organization. As a business professional, emails are for the sole intention of the recipient and never should be shared with others unless for lawful purposes, so shame on the parents who posted this. Conversely, travel lacrosse is a business, and can be shark infested at times. There is a lot of bad blood between MDU and LBC based on player movement, therefore winning does lead to a sense of entitlement and might take priority for some more than others.

Player position training is important, especially in middle school with girls’ bodies changing/growing and the need for muscle memory to prevail over changing gross motor skills. MDU has 3-4 goalie coaches and is well organized. Can you blame a parent for wanting their child to be exposed to specific training?
Yes, the goalie is leaving her team “high and dry” and there is a cost for that which the player cannot fathom at her age. Bottom line is “be classy” on both ends. Directors need to be pragmatic and professional as it’s a business (QTIP-quit taking it personal) and parents should understand that their decisions for their children might affect them more than they know (don’t be helicopters).

That email was sent to everyone on that team, not just the parents.

Well then that is just stupidity on behalf of the Director. Why “aire” your personal feelings like that?

Rumor has it the Bit Dog Barks the loudest!! The toxic environment has been boiling at LBC for years. Club is selling a product and has concept of Customer Relations. They have the “My way or the Highway” motto and when families choose the Highway they are shocked!!
Travel Lacrosse on both sides of the Bridge is very competitive so if LBC can’t stand the Heat Stay out of the Kitchen
There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence and LBC has ounce again trip over the line and fallen flat on their face!!!

Agreed!

My daughter played for LBC for like 7 years. She is now going to college. It is horrible reading these messages when 99% of you know nothing about LBC. LBC is not like any other club. The cost is much less than any other club and they try to fundraise for people that struggle paying for the cost of travel lacrosse. The directors are not paid the only people paid are non parent coaches. LBC is a non-profit and no one is making a living from the club. My daugher is not a goalie but I was told that middle school goalies only pay about $600 so they are able to pay for private goalie lessons. I agree the directors take things too personally probably because for them.

They know all about LBC...people in that organization can’t keep their mouths shut and keep posting childish things on here to let everyone know who they really are.

LBC is definitely like no other club. Most of the comments on here seem to have pretty intricate knowledge of this club or I'm guessing they have or had girls in this organization. They have been telling parents for years that other clubs are so much more expensive. This is simply not true. They do give you the opportunity to fundraise. They offer nothing in the off season. If they offer anything additional you have to pay for it. If you really think they're not getting paid in some way they have fooled you. They should be paid. I don't know why they continue to try to deny it. I don't know about goalie discounts but they should get a discount. Most clubs give a discount even when they have a goalie program.

This thread should be congratulating Heros on their solid effort this past weekend, as well as SW. Congrats!

An individual player or strife among parents/directors should not be a public situation. Don’t stoop to the “LI adults” of the lacrosse world. Before you know it you’ll be using a beach umbrella for sun exposure. Just sayin’!

For an organization from the Eastern Shore, which has only been around a few years, pulling girls from Queen Anne's County (population 50,381), Caroline County (pop 33,304), and Talbot Counties (pop 37,181), compared to the large established organizations on the Western Shore pulling from Anne Arundel County (pop 579,234), Howard County (pop 325,690), and Baltimore County (pop 827,370) and having the ability to even compete with the large organizations is perfect for a family such as ours whom would rather play local than disrupt our family dynamics to travel for something promising to be 'better'. In addition, this Christmas, LBC helped 9 families in need, and received the following note of thanks: "Well the drop off was a success!! The smiles of those children were priceless as they know they have something special for each of them!!
I want to thank all of the generous givers as they have given blessings to two families that may have not had a very bright Christmas! One family
member had been thinking about what he was going to do to provide Christmas for his daughter when I called him later that morning to ask him
If he could use a Christmas blessing!
I thank you again and pray for you and your families to have a blessed and safe Christmas and looking forward to a New Year!!" And to top it off, Coach Smitty is the best lacrosse coach we have ever played for.

Clearly this is an attempt at damage control by their director who clearly started all of this drama. Do you ever sleep or just send out these long spiels? SMH

Pulling population numbers? That's a new kind of special. I'm sure LBC isn't the only club that helps out families in need and not just during Christmas. Just ask Heros.

Did you say rather play local than disrupt family dynamics by traveling? Do you comprehend that merging with Saltwater which is based out of Berlin, MD and now having practice in Centreville, MD, Berlin, MD and DE is further for some than traveling over the big bad bridge?

I cant believe a parent posted an LBC email for everyone to read. Whoever posted this is a poster child for whats wrong with youth lacrosse. Whoever sent the email to all the parents shouldnt have even responded to the parent leaving. Much easier to take the high road to keep your moral compass intact. LBC looks like fools

LBC is a club that starts off strong then whittles away as the years go on. Ask their 23s and 24s. Toxic environment for kids.

Many clubs help out families in need over the year, not all post. I'd argue most clubs do it.

So after the email you sent to that family now you want to tell everyone what good people you are? When people do things out of the kindness of their heart they don't boast about it.

Most directors are paid (not much) and coaches get additional stipends for their teams. Other clubs might be only $100-$200 more but you get more! More tournaments that are high quality, a lot more practice, quality coaching, specialized draw and goalie clinics, 100% committed families and teammates. LBC is mid pack and great for the Shore. It’s a shame that this club gets a bad rep. Maybe with a different Director/Leader things could be different.

If anyone thinks that someone from LBC shared that letter you are an stunad. The person who left shared the letter with muliple other people. Please tell me what club is $1700 to play? The tuition at LBC includes fall practice and stickwork, 3 or4 fall tournaments, winter stickwork/practice, NGLL and five summer tournaments. All of the teams have non parent head coaches. LBC's reputation must not be so bad since other clubs email and call constantly asking to scrimmage LBC teams.

The real stunad is the director who wrote and shared the email with the entire team.

I’m guessing it was the female director as she can be quite a handful. The male director seems to be very low key and a darn good coach from what I’ve observed. They jave some very solid team play.

Who cares if the email was shared when the director shared the email herself? Newsflash...$1700.00 is not a bargain. CClax, $1800.00 8 tournaments, practices, etc., MDU $1950.00 10 tournaments, practices, winter training, sibling discount, Heros $1600.00, 12 tournaments, practices. The list goes on. Are you getting the picture?? I'm not aware of any teams that do have parents as head coaches and if they had experience and knowledge of the game I wouldn't care. Teams should scrimmage other teams and most teams do except LBC.

Can’t we all just get along? Why are we starting off the new year with all of this negativity? Ok... we get it LBC...you give back to people, other teams want to scrimmage you, and you hold grudges. Thanks....we got it!

This is an issue that should have been kept between the parent and the directors. The parent emailed the directors and only the directors but the LBC directors responded to it by sending their response to entire team. Poor judgment on their part, but it has been done by them before time and again. It is a total bully technique. Any parent can and should do what they think is best for their child. The directors chose to have their daughter go to boarding school. I bet the school she left didn’t try to humiliate them.

The shore needs a club like LBC, but with directors who don’t teach their players to tear down someone for their decisions. It is nice to have a club on the shore for girls to play, but the directors need to remember their actions have consequences. Parents, other clubs, college coaches, and most importantly the young ladies on their teams are watching and hopefully learning on how not to react.

I guess I am getting screwed at CCLAX. It cost me more than $1800. I had to pay extra for spring league and clinics. I don't know about the other clubs but I know it cost me more than $1800.

Best decision we ever made was leaving that toxic dysfunctional club. Sadly it didn't have to be this way but they'll never learn. Lots of great families but unfortunately they've been gaslighted like an abusive spouse. Starts slow and gradual and most too afraid it will "hurt" their daughter to leave. Love to preach "LBC one happy family" and as long as you don't have the nerve to ask questions or express concern over bullying tactics you're golden. It was like leaving an abusive relationship (which it was) you had no idea how much better it could be until you leave. Regret not doing it sooner. Best of luck to families that feel stuck.

Well said and so true! A lot of great families left the organization and then were called negative people for doing so by the HBIC.

This sounds like Madlax and Cabell Maddux

Actually it sounds like every club in Maryland. You should see the email Bev Altig sent to my daughter when we left. She personally attacked my daughter not me.

I am new to the thread and it is a long one, so let me make sure I understand the facts:

(1) the club has a policy that when you join one of their teams, it is a mutual, one-year commitment;
(2) midway through the year, the family of the 2026 team's only goalie determined that she was not getting adequate goalie coaching and moved to a different team;
(3) a club official emailed the family, with cc to the entire team, attacking their integrity, highlighting that 18 girls are left with no goalie;
(4) somebody who received the team-wide email, not necessarily the family of the player, posted it on BOTC as criticism of the club.

Is this right?

But see right there....it was only sent to you....not the whole team.

Pretty much...

See where?
Where does it show that the email went to just one family?

What does that prove? The email from the director says she's sending it to the whole team 🤣🤣

It looks like neither side is without blame. If a program requires a one year commitment, that should mean something. Especially when you are the only goalie on the team. It would have been more honorable for the family to play out the one year commitment and then switch teams. They could have invested in a private position coach for temporarily while fulfilling her team commitment.

But the email was way over the top, both nasty on a personal level and bad business.

A club lacrosse program needs to be smart and take the high road when a customer does something wrong. They should have politely reminded her of the one year commitment, but if she insisted on leaving, wished her well and began the search for a new goalie. An email like that never ends well for the program that sends it.

I hope this helps.

Club director of LCB you better watch yourself because Karma is coming to get you you are literally threatening people and their children what is wrong with you this is a game and you know what if your child was going to benefit from leaving you would leave too !! Don’t act so pompous you have no right to judge anyone look in the mirror and live your own life and leave other people and their children alone!!!

College coaches are definitely paying attention. Hardly anyone from their 22 team has been recruited. Can’t blame Covid cause other 22 teams have been heavily recruited. Some clubs have had their entire 22 team completely recruited at this point. Such a shame for these girls because I always thought the 22 team was talented.

The blackballing and bashing of players and families that goes on when a player switches clubs happens in every club and has been happening for years. But it is usually done by the parents and coaches, not the players and directors. LBC’s mistake was replying and cc:ing the team. That is just classless and 💩ty. It is also classless and 💩ty for the goalie to leave mid season. So all in all, you just have a really classless and 💩ty situation made worse by an anonymous forum of know it alls. Hope the person who shared the email feels good. Way to start your 2021 off a new foot.

I agree. Whenever a player no matter what position they play leaves the team it can be disruptive when it is during the season. However with this environment I would get my kid out of there as soon as possible.

I recieved a text from another parent to check out this thread who is also a parent on the 26 team. This forum is made up of a bunch of crazy people. I can honestly say the club and this team are great. This family has been an issue for a few years. I have spoken to both the club and this family and when they agreed to play this year they were given all the details of practice, goalie coaching and tuition. I did not see either parent at any of the practices and very few of the games this fall. 99% of the above is not true and if you are making up lies to hurt either the club or this family you should look in the mirror. The email was sent to the team so the family didn't spread more lies about what happen. The team was also sent the email sent to the coach which was one sentence and when the coach responded and asked for more information they didn't respond. Move on and worry about your own team.

Another sorry attempt with the last post from the organization at deflecting what they did wrong. What parent was allowed at practice anyway during this pandemic? Dah....That family is always at games supporting their kids and not everyone can be lying about the team. Try again. SMH

I'm the mother of this child. This team has a lot of great families and it was a very difficult decision to leave. With that being said LBC has promised goalie training at every practice for years. Every year we have trusted them and as soon as we sign back up there's no goalie coach. There was a college goalie that came to coach but once LBC stopped responding to her messages she didn't come back. That's not my business but that's the truth. If you consider goalie coaching a regular coach passing and juggling for 15-20 mins before a 90 min practice clearly you're not familiar with positional coaching. This is the exact reason why the 24 and 25 goalie left. This has been an issue for years. If our family is such an issue then why ask our daughter to come back every year? At the end of every year we have told them we're not coming to tryouts. Then the calls, texts, etc. start. We believe them and we come back. We pay between $50-65 an hour for private lessons. I have been very supportive of this team over the years and have a close relationship with a lot of the families. Have you heard of carpooling? It's a thing. Maybe you didn't see me at one of four fall practices when we weren't supposed to be getting out of our car. Little thing called covid. I've been at every fall tournament including the last one when I had a medical issue. If you are truly a 26 parent that I have spoken to please feel free to reach out to me directly. You must have my contact information. We are moving on and worrying about our own team. LBC should do the same.

You are doing what is best for your child, as all of us would do. If they have made empty promises over and over and had to beg you to come try out, they should have been prepared to have a 2nd goalie, most all clubs have two for each team. If they take kids midseason, they should be prepared to lose kids midseason. Its unfortunate how it unfolded, but clearly LBC didn't take the high road. Good luck to her daughter at her new club. She's going to get great goalie training, I can tell you from first hand experience.

Sounds Ike it was for the best. Goalie specific training is just as important. Goalies don’t want to be at practice when all that is happening to them is getting put in a goal to get shot on for a straight two hours. Invest in your goalies just as much as your other players. Good luck to you and your daughter.

My kid gets better at practice just like the other 24 girls on the roster. My daughter gets better then the other 23 by what she does in her own time in the backyard and yes me paying for skills training and speed/agility. If the club promised a goalie coach so be it but kids get better from the extra time they put in away from the team. Somepay money for extra training, some dont and you can tell who doesnt. Goalies arent different except there is only 1 one field and 2 on a roster .

LBC just can't help themselves. Perfected passive aggressive bullying tactics. Always have always will. This isnt first time an LBC child/family has been raked over coals on this forum nor will it be the last. LBC has to have the last word but lack the integrity to fight their own battles. Its a shame

I normally don't think it is wise for people to identify themselves on this forum, but in this case, the player's Mom represented herself and her daugher well by explaining why they made a move. She did not sound toxic, absentee, or crazy to me. Bait and switch is a major problem with all travel programs, not just in coaching, but roster placement, playing time, and other issues. It sounds like this program didn't just over-promise, but they actually misled the family about the availability of goalie coaching. They had better hire a real goalie coach and stop playing games or they are not going to have trouble getting new goalies in the program.

My daughter plays for LBC and I wish the directors would respond. All information was given to this family prior to them committing to playing this year. They knew eactly what they were getting. I spoke to this parent after they decided to stay. She was told who the goalie coaches were that would be working with the goalies at every practice. I was not told by the mom but others that she got a huge discount to pay for individual lessons. She told me that they were staying with LBC because her daughter wants to stay becuase she loves the coach and the team. My daughter is not a goalie but we also pay full tuition and pay for individual lessons outside of club practice.

Pretty sure LBC has responded on this thread

They sure have And posing—“as a parent of a 26” or “my daughter plays for LBC”. So obvious. The woman director ruined a good thing on the shore because she just can’t get out of her own way. She is horrible and shouldn’t be around club lacrosse, kids, adults, animals, machinery.....

"She was told who the goalie coaches were that would be working with the goalies at every practice"

Sounds like LBC went back on this though and there were not goalie coaches?

OK, “Devil’s Advocate” here! Yes we get it, a family left, and possibly multiple families prior to that. That is a choice and it happens in every club! Conversely, LBC could have handled the situation a bit more professionally, sure we get that. Business gets personal.

Folks complain about extra training etc. That is important, however how is it that LBC has multiple teams that compete with Heros, M and D, Skywalkers, etc. despite their inadequacy to provide “said” goalie training? Ya’ll are drinking the “Chickin’ Necker” Koolaid! Only some of you will understand this comparison.

Let's get this topic back on track talking about LAX, please. I know the 2025 team is competitive. What other teams are?

Good God move on from LBC trash talking. The horse is dead.

THis forum is about the 26 team and yes the 26 LBC is very competitive and have a lot of very talented players. They compete with both Hero's and M&D. They beat Hero's Green the last time they played them.

Wow. I thought Hero's Green was undefeated

Heros Green lost once in the past year. That was to M&D. LBC has not beaten them

I completely agree. The club director was dense for only having one goalie because that’s what the parents wanted, I blame her/him. What if the kid got injured or the family had to move out of state? The whole thing is so dense especially when you remember this is MIDDLE SCHOOL lacrosse.

You go away for awhile and come back and LBC is still the topic of conversation? You all are part of the problem!! Move on. Stop talking about them. Make them irrelevant. JFC.

Let them continue to dig their own hole.

And LBC has "fundraisers out the butt! why not just charge a fee and not make the parents participate in MULTIPLE fundraisers? The parents end up paying way more for silent auction bs in the name of fundraising. The people that run this club are PSYCHOTIC! take tour kid anywhere but this club. It's worth the drive. They cut 5th graders, 4th graders and these poor girls end up hating lax. The people that run LBC have never played lax and have trouble keeping coaches that have knowledge of the game. It's easy to have your kid peak early, its harder to have your kid keep peaking. LBC cuts and cuts. BEWARE!!!!!!

LBC has been always been classless and the coaches are more interested in drinking and posting their drunkeness. check out their website (has not been updated recently), they still claim to have college coaches that have moved on. PLEASE, if you can, do not choose geography when taking your daughter to this club. If you can drive your kid to another, please do. This club is abusive.

because they LOVE to poach from other clubs. Ask them how they POACHED the entire club called Mid Shore In-crease. Caroline County club. Julie and Smitty of LBC dismembered that club. They are psychotic. don't let your child play with that club.

First off their director, while may not have a lacrosse background, is one of the best coaches on the eastern shore. Look what he has done at Easton with what he had to work with (Easton does have some great players so not trying to be negative). He also has numerous teams that compete with the best in the country, due primarily to him coaching them up. Every club cuts 4th/5th graders with exception of CC Lax as they have been known to warehouse kids for years. When 90 players show up for a grad year tryout at MD United, how many actually make it? 44, so you do the math. Every club fundraises, however at east LBC reduces tuition based on the amount of fund raising. No other club does that. Our family is not affiliated with LBC, however we hear the Eastern Shore rumors. Why did LBC absorb Saltwater from Salisbury? I'm guessing because Saltwater knew it would make for a better situation for them? There are also people claiming they poach players. All clubs do that. Enough of the LBC bashing! Our guess is that the parents that left are the ones that could be psychotic, not all, but some.

Respect & Loyalty can’t be forced or bullied it must earned that’s where LBC misses out. Long story short “You reap what you sew”
In our sports world we have 1-2-3 generations deep families with multiple sports experience at multiple levels but the powers at LBC with there see all know all way of doing things has now again come full circle.

Mid Shore Increase Lacrosse Club?? Mid shore increase was a mixed team and it is my understanding that the assistant coach reached out to LBC about the players playing for LBC. The head coach was the only person who thought Mid Shore Increase was a club and never spoke to any of the players or families again.

First off their director, while may not have a lacrosse background, is one of the best coaches on the eastern shore. Look what he has done at Easton with what he had to work with (Easton does have some great players so not trying to be negative). He also has numerous teams that compete with the best in the country, due primarily to him coaching them up. Every club cuts 4th/5th graders with exception of CC Lax as they have been known to warehouse kids for years. When 90 players show up for a grad year tryout at MD United, how many actually make it? 44, so you do the math. Every club fundraises, however at east LBC reduces tuition based on the amount of fund raising. No other club does that. Our family is not affiliated with LBC, however we hear the Eastern Shore rumors. Why did LBC absorb Saltwater from Salisbury? I'm guessing because Saltwater knew it would make for a better situation for them? There are also people claiming they poach players. All clubs do that. Enough of the LBC bashing! Our guess is that the parents that left are the ones that could be psychotic, not all, but some.

For a family not affiliated with LBC you seem to know all the details about the director and his club.

LBC at it again with trying to deflect...they probably went to Saltwater because they knew their ship was sinking!

MOVE ON FROM LBC! JFC!

So LBC took over 3 clubs? Mid Shore Increase, Shore Kaos and Saltwater?

Looks like someone needs anger management?! Probably one of the drinkers from the team getting upset.

Attacking Easton High School girls "what he had to work with" Must be a QA parent

Not a QA, Caroline or KI parent. No anger issues either. Just a family that is good friends with current LBC parents and has daughters that play/played elsewhere, therefore we are neutral. We are familiar with the organization, as we like to compare it to the ones our daughters have had a chance to play with or play/played for. OK, the directors made mistakes. Move on. Our daughter’s director has made mistakes too. We just didn’t have the crazy parents after the fact posting their vitriol, hence it could be a parent problem.

First off what team or parent wants one goalie? Answer that one!!!!!! If you want one goalie as a coach - your fault because kids get sick or hurt and that could leave you with none. If you are a parent and think having one goalie is good - you are selfish and not thinking about the "team"

When I am looking to purchase something I always look at the reviews. There are always a few people who write bad reviews. When the majority of the reviews are bad I move on to the next item. Move on to the next item. There are other options. Talk to parents, talk to coaches, talk to kids. Don't just talk to the director or a parent. There will always be a parent who has or had a great experience and vice-versa. Travel lacrosse is a big commitment. Do your research.

Well said.

MD united usually has two teams per grad year, so there are usually not as many cuts. CCLax does take the ones that try out, and they will foster a younger girl to LOVE the game because she may have been given a chance. LBC started in QA county as an offshoot of Shore Kaos, which was a club derived from the current LBC "directors" and their friends and current coaches. They all got into a fight about money and LBC was born, at the end of the summer and some kids were left with no club. Watch the indoor videos on the Edge Arena for HS games and see the abhorrent actions of the "directors" wife. fights with refs. And LBC has been banned from tournaments for cheating.

LBC has not been banned from tournaments for cheating that is a complete lie. LBC was born because a group of girls wanted a competitive lacrosse club on the Eastern Shore. It has nothing to do with money. The director fired a coach and he started a team to play for the summer. The person you call "abhorrent" spends endless hours of time helping girls on the Eastern Shore have a place to play lacrosse. She is not perfect but I doubt you saw any other coach from any club at every indoor game volunteering her own time with none of her own kids playing. Do you all have nothing better to do? Go play for a club where the director doesn't know your name, makes a living off of club lacrosse, and leave LBC alone. My daughter's teammates will continue to enjoy playing for a local club who care about the players, families and helping the community.

If you don't know the team your kid is playing for and you're paying for is banned from certain tournaments you're clueless

So I think all the talk about LBC is getting old. Instead of talking about their club in general let’s talk about how not having their goalie will effect their team play. When they didn’t have her at the NGLL weekend on Labor Day they got beat handily by most teams. Can they recover? Will M&D get their act together this spring? Can Heros White keep beating top teams? Let’s talk about this upcoming season.

I totally agree. That's what I don't understand about the original post that was rude and thankfully was edited by this page.

Has her old team written all over that horrible comment. Or whoever wrote it needs to get a life and pick on someone their own size. Can we say...anger management classes maybe?

I personally don’t think that the original imposter/poster was trying to call out a young player like that. The comment “oh did it again” probably refers to MD United “poaching” players from LBC, or parents of LBC parents realizing the grass........BTW, that young lady is a solid player, shares the ball, is not a “Suzy go to goal”, and hustles on the re-defend. No shame in her game.

It is great that players can merely compete! Enjoy and know that player shuffling happens the most in Middle School.

No, not talking about the kid at all, was referencing the previous post where someone asked that we stop talking about LBC. It was a joke, nothing to do with any player, just the topic on this board, LBC, that gets a lot of print. Again, nothing intended about the kid.

Here’s the question... can M&D black beat Heros white?

Not at the 26 level. M&D needs help coaching that team. I know they had the St Paul’s coach in fall. Parents are hoping she takes over soon.

She’s still there now. My daughter plays for M&D and loves her and the head coach.

Sure, anything is possible. After not being able to get a win against Heros white during the fall, M&D is gonna be hungry.

Not today!

Has M&D beat Integrity? Integrity is trying to recruit a few players from another program and claim they are the best team at the 26 level?

M&D looked out gunned, out coached and out matched... they have athletes but they had no offense at all and no idea how to create any offense. It is clearly Heros 26Green and then Hero's 26 White and then everybody else.

M&D is not the same at every age. Parents have to understand, each age bracket is different. Heros Green and White are best in this age bracket.

Definitely agree. Heros white dismantled M&D in all stages of the game. Not sure what’s in the water out in western hoco but the Heros 26 teams have some serious talent. M&D looked lost out there.

Integrity claims they are the best team at the 26 level? Or the players they are recruiting come from the best 26 team?

If they are claiming they are the best team around, that is a joke. And I am pretty certain no Hero’s players will be leaving to go play there.

I’m sure she does but the head coach isn’t a high level coach.

Sorry. But an M&D black team should never be losing to a Hero's white team. A supposed 'A' team always losing to a 'B' team? Not a good look.

💯 %. Need an upgrade or it’s gonna hurt the brand.

It’s just that this 26 Hero’s white team really isn’t a “B” team at all . . . so just can’t think of it like that or classify them that way.

Not sure you can even mention Hero’s White and the letter B in the same sentence

Except they are the B team to that organization.

That can beat all the other A teams and even give the Heros “A” a run for their money...

May have started that way 4 years ago but everyone in the organization agrees there are two A teams at 26 level. Why else would their second team be in the A division and play all the same competition as the first team. They didn’t get ranked #5 in the country with their club thinking they were a B team, they would never get a chance to play all the teams they have if that was the case. Hero’s just draws great talent and 26 year proves that

The thing is ... Heros 26 green and white are both great teams .... right now... this never lasts ... Skywalkers and others will catch up(. Maybe not M and D since coaching is so terrible )The coach doesn’t have a clue and so what if Gagnon is assistant coach. She can’t fix this unless she gets rid of him. When it’s time for recruitment you will see Heros will not dominate . Parent coaching eventually will cause a lot of issues. It happens for every age group eventually .So Heros dads you can calm down on this site. I swear you post while you are still on the field.

It used to be that every coach of an M&D Black team was a Varsity Head Coach. Obviously this isn't the case anymore and it is showing in the results. Things have started to unravel since Chris left for Florida. Not sure if they don't pay enough to attract Varsity coaches anymore or what the reason in.

This 2026 thread seems to always be about the coaching. If it's the coaching then what part of the game do you have the better players?

Heros white became stronger after several defections of families going to M&D black. Heros white dominated NGLL and in tournaments in 2019 at the B level. Nobody else could come close. How is it fun to keep winning by large margins? People left to go to M&D thinking they were going to be better off on an A team. Meanwhile Heros White worked to strengthen the team by adding talent in the spots opened up by those who jumped to M&D.

Does M&D even have a red (B) team at 2026?

Dude it’s one age group. Wait Until they are freshman and see if team is as successful. Green , Black and Blue will seperate again and white won’t get into same brackets in recruiting tournaments then.

No. No Red team 26 on down

M&D has no red teams after 2025

I would not count on the assitant coach sticking around for the Black 26's. It is a stopgap measure. That particular coach rightfully is focused on her high school team. Next year her daughter will be playing in CA so I doubt she wants to be saddled with full time club coaching again.

To be fair, for heros 22, several green girls opted down to the white team in order to get more playing time. Not uncommon at the elite clubs.

Any other surprises the first week of NGLL?

22 White is not as good as 22 Green, that is laughable. 22 Green was ranked #1 in the country last year. White did not play in the same brackets, and definitely not against tougher opponents.

As a parent of a girl on the team it’s embarrassing to us. Several of the parents are pretty unhappy. Nothing new there though. Hadn’t heard of the coach getting attacked in the parking lot though.

Coach was not attacked in the parking lot. I would say the coach was confronted by parents about playing time but not physically attacked. There is frustration by parents and it’s dividing the team. When girls leave and and tryout for other clubs maybe this will be Robinsons wake up call. This team will implode.

Good luck with that. Hero’s parents do not know how to get over themselves. It’s been this comical since 2014.

I thought Hero’s is equal playing at the high school level. If it is equal playing time, why would there be a reason to “opt down”?

I wonder how much of it is normal. PT at M&D is a scarce commodity. The fact that there are 7 or 8 attackers, 7 defenders and 6 middies (roughly) is a problem for PT.

If any of the core group leaves it will be chilling.

What’s really comical is 22 green being ranked number 1. Actually ranking club teams is also comical

I wonder how much of it is normal. PT at M&D is a scarce commodity. The fact that there are 7 or 8 attackers, 7 defenders and 6 middies (roughly) is a problem for PT.

If any of the core group leaves it will be chilling.

Isn't the makeup of most all rosters? Assuming two goalies, that's 22 players, typical.

Dude it’s one age group. Wait Until they are freshman and see if team is as successful. Green , Black and Blue will seperate again and white won’t get into same brackets in recruiting tournaments then.

Not the case...Hero's 22 white is JUST as good as green and they play in the same brackets as the green against tougher teams

22 White is not as good as 22 Green, that is laughable. 22 Green was ranked #1 in the country last year. White did not play in the same brackets, and definitely not against tougher opponents.

Wow, hit a nerve. Settle down.

What is comical is thinking club rankings don't matter. Who do you think the coaches go and watch play... the top teams in the country. The best teams attract the best players. You must be new to this.

I would think it would be more like 6-10-6 not 8-6-8.

PT is a problem for sure. There is either subbing or NO subbing. The Coaches forget about players on the sidelines and some girls never touch the field. Parents are frustrated. They pay a lot of money and not getting a return on their investment. You wait and see there will be change to the team unless a new coach takes over. Skywalkers, Integrity, NEMS to name a few will see some new faces.

I’m going to save all you 26 parents the frustration. M&D will not do anything about a coach unless all the parents go as a unit and threaten to leave. If not , any parents that voice concerns (valid or not) will be labeled as a “problem parent”. I’ve seen one of an older M&D team do that and they found a new coach. But a different older team had defections of several very strong players and instead of addressing the concerns of those parents they’ve just been labeled as troublesome or crazy. It has to be done as a unit. It’s just easier to say parents are crazy then to correct the coaching.

College coaches don't give a ish who is ranked #1. The same clubs, M&D, SW, YJ, Hero's are always in the top division of tournaments and play each other. The coaches don't give a darn who wins. Some of you are in for a rude awakening when 9/1 of your daughter's junior year comes. It's comical.

agreed. My daughter is a verbal to a top 10 school and some ranking by some guy up in NY had nothing to do with it. the club name got the coaches attention and and her talent did the rest. Rankings, championship t-shirts and wins do not get you recruited. Talent and grades do

Still waiting

4

Its only equal playing time for the recruiting events and showcases / IWCLA events.

7-6-7 with two goalies is proably most typical. Some attackers can play middie as needed.

In terms of a core rotation, most teams are usually at 5-5-5 or so. 15 or 16 players will get the bulk of playing time in competitive games. That said, the top teams get alot of blowouts so the backups get their share of PT. At older ages, its usualy much more even at showcase and non-championship style events.

Is this sub about the 26’s or the 22’s?

Some of the parents need to be sent packing. Attacking the coach in parking lot. Arguing on the sideline. Embarrassing to the program.

Based in n the Chris Robinson email today that happened. Said that he said coaches are harder to find than in the past. Almost sounds defeatist.

And that is not the time to discuss play time right after a game. Try doing that to any high school coach and see what happens

I agree with the procedure, just wish there was no need for the procedure. I wonder how normal 26 is vs other clubs and other m and d teams.

You have to have some badonkadonks to approach a coach immediately after a game. The entitlement in girl’s lacrosse is painstakingly embarrassing. Who do you parents think you are? Are you going to approach the high school coaches in parking lots too? Do, and your kid will never play college lacrosse. Get a grip.

Hilarious can’t wait to use you off the wall word in a meeting with a bunch of adults. Love watching you come unhinged on this thread. I forgot you are living your best life through your daughter and her lacrosse success. Sad really.

Everything in this thread from bashing teams, kids and coaches is everything wrong with youth sports. You all are in for a rude awakening come high school and even more if you kid goes to college. This is pathetic

Not sure there has been any kid bashing but I haven’t read the whole board. I think it’s more parent on parent bashing. I think even the worst among us can agree that kids are off limits.

What were the scores from 3/28 2026 games?
The tourney app hasn’t posted them yet.

They will be just fine. Lots of quality coaches and Scott can handle it. You mean Heros parent coaches are better or the coaches sw have don’t deal with parent issues ? You can only hope a single club is the only one with issues.

Scott or Chris is NOT handling the coaching issue OR parent concerns. . Mary was brought on in hopes to shut the parents up, Mary is a wonderful coach but is not invested in the team. M and D 26 team has flipped from winning to losing why? Coaching for one and all the parents who were unhappy at Hero’s and fled. Now M and D has their drama and entitlement and we are going down quick.

I believe there will be some coaching changes soon. MG needs to decide how invested she wants to be with her daughter going to UsC in fall. It’s a good way for her to recruit girls to SPSG next year.

I knew it was all Hero’s fault !

Which one of you has better info? Put it on the table! My uncles sisters neighbors gardener is also her gardener and he says she was wearing black which means she’s going to be the head coach! Take it to the bank!

Let’s see. A dad going after coach in fall at Genessee. One dad that has kids in 2 programs starting stuff on his own sideline. Parents should have been asked to take kids to another program. Coach needs to put the time in like it’s a M&D team. This isn’t rec. MG has to take over or this team is done.

Not sure what you are talking about?? Taking your rumor to the bank? Spill the beans if you have such good intel because M and D parents are in the dark for about everything. I know there will be a RED team and it will be a father daughter duo, but again if M and D doesn’t get girls to try out and have quality players what’s the point of a RED team. And to go back to one of the posts saying Maybe the better team won. Yes the better team won. Hero's white is the better team, better players, I wouldn’t say daddy that coaching is considered quality but I guess it works. In order for the 26 team to move forward, 2 things need to happen... coaching is the first thing second is the toxic hot head Heros parents who think their daughters are owed starting and all the playing time. Until then the 26 will continue down this path of distraction. To pay 3k for fees and not improve as a player or team.... well parents are fed up and are planning on leaving. Maybe these toxic parents will head back to Hero's one can only hope.

This is something else. Here is my question to the 26 Black, Green and White parents. Do you talk like this in front of your daughters? Are these the things you say and talk about in front of them? If they are, then my guess is they are also not happy and it’s time for your family to move on. If this talk only takes place here and not in front of them, why don’t you ask them if they are happy. If they are, maybe for now you step back from the keyboard and let your players enjoy their season since this time last year they weren’t allowed out of their homes.

And that right there is the problem, the good parents will leave. It’s no longer about the players. You need help.

The parents that acted that way needed to be let go. Saw a M&D mom yelling at a coach at new town a couple summers ago. Nothing was done! Plenty of good replacements out there.

lets be honest. the fall off of M&S goes beyond the 26 team. The 27s and 28s are also rather average by M&D standards.

27s just got punked by BLC in NGLL and the 28s are well behind Heros, MD United and NEMS.

Thanks for your opinion Hero’s dad. Keep proving us right. Lol.

This thread is great if you like to bash and gossip. Sadly it has little to do with lacrosse. I feel badly for your daughters

What other teams won over the weekend?

OK Karen!! Your throne will be at the field this weekend for you sit on and judge.

Have you not read any other threads on here? There are some threads that call out players and their Dad coach by name. Lots of classy anonymous posters on here.

M&D 28 absolutely destroyed Hero's Green the last time they played.

26 coach is a great guy. Just shouldn’t be coaching a group of high level kids that need to be taught the game. He’s too nice and in sports nice guys don’t win.

Anyone considering have there daughter go to private school to play lacrosse or is it a waste if she is playing club through high school?

I agree with this. He knows the game, he just isn’t the best at teaching it. He would be a great assistant.

If it is for education or opportunities yes but to spend 15-30,000$ for lax and then more in college because lax schollies are in 10-15,000 range out of 60,000 total that is financially notIntelligent. If they can't hang at the power public school they won't hang in college either.

Agreed.
30k x 4 high school years
$3k club fees for 6-7 years
$30k x 4 college years.
$260 k for lax.
Let’s say that is counting the 20% off in scholarship for lax.

The head coach for the 26 team has never played lacrosse, has no communication skills, avoidance issues and can be hot and cold depending on his mood for the day. Maybe when he coached at the younger ages he was great but NOT going into 8th grade-high school level. Word has it that a girl left the team abruptly, I wonder if more girls will leave the team. Wake up Robinsion brothers!!!!

My 2 cents. If you daughter has a chance to attend the school she wants (public or private) give it a shot. If you get 1/3-2/3 of the tuition reduced and you can afford it, it is worth pursuing. At the end of the day, you will not know what is available if you do not apply.

A friend of mine told me about this post. My daughter is the one that left recently. I did not make the post above. My daughter left on good terms with the team and coaches, and I have nothing bad to say about them. M and D was good to her. She had been there for 4 years and it was just time for a change, plus we had some life changes that made logistics very difficult. We have nothing to gain by bad mouthing her former team so please don’t attribute words to people you don’t know.

I’ll take that ranch now.

I know most coaches played in college, but that's not the be all end all for lax coaches in my experience. My daughters have had a few coaches with top pedigrees in terms of college programs, but were not good coaches. If the coach has learned the game (and keeps learning), is all-in, and can run a good practice (no long lines and standing around), then the team is probably in good hands. The coach also has to be able to "see" the game well in terms of what's happening out there and be able to break concepts down into a teachable way. There are some good coaches out there who never played at a high level. Also, male coaches who played in college still need to learn the girls game ;-). Just my two cents.

Word has it? You sound like the disgruntled one. You sure you’re not talking from experience and just coming on here to make a bad situation even worse? I’ll bet the ranch

A friend of mine told me about this post. My daughter is the one that left recently. I did not make the post above. My daughter left on good terms with the team and coaches, and I have nothing bad to say about them. M and D was good to her. She had been there for 4 years and it was just time for a change, plus we had some life changes that made logistics very difficult. We have nothing to gain by bad mouthing her former team so please don’t attribute words to people you don’t know.

I’ll take that ranch now.

We left M&D too. Not this team, but another one. It was the best decision ever made, and we also left under good terms. You have to do what you have to do for your child. Good luck to her.

I know most coaches played in college, but that's not the be all end all for lax coaches in my experience. My daughters have had a few coaches with top pedigrees in terms of college programs, but were not good coaches. If the coach has learned the game (and keeps learning), is all-in, and can run a good practice (no long lines and standing around), then the team is probably in good hands. The coach also has to be able to "see" the game well in terms of what's happening out there and be able to break concepts down into a teachable way. There are some good coaches out there who never played at a high level. Also, male coaches who played in college still need to learn the girls game ;-). Just my two cents.

This is pretty accurate.

A mom with two girls in HOCO (older team) said head coach for Mnd 26 was a coach at HOCO who was squeezed out of the program (lots of complaints from the parents/players). Surprised a club like Mnd took him in, guess they’re struggling to find coaches.

So, let me get this straight...you are on here bad mouthing a coach because you lost a game? Am I missing something?

My guess is you will see MG more involved with the team for the rest of the year and going forward.

Usually coaches go the other direction. Hoco doesn’t have much to offer. Their teams will start to lose some as they become more serious about lax. Hoco not a top level club.

Depends on the club and the high school your club choice has everything to do with it . The colleges know what clubs to go to .

Must be all these Hero Karen mom’s and “I sit on my throne” dads. How does it feel to bully a bunch of 2026 girls?

Question about rostering, I know in soccer, they are very strict about not having girls unrostered play in games, or preventing from an older girl playing down. Is this similar in NGLL? Is there a set roster and if a girl is not on that roster, she cannot play? Can anything be done after the fact or must this be brought up to refs at the game?

Girls can not play for another club once they are rostered for a team. If a girl who is not rostered for a team is needed to play for another team the coach has to contact the NGLL and notify the other coach prior to the game. If they do not notify the other coach they have to forfeit the game. Girls can only move for A or A, B to A or B to B.

All players register with NGLL and the club also submits a roster

Girls can not play down to another age group

So my issue is, there was a player on opposing team (bigger than most) who's number is not on the NGLL Roster emailed out on March 1st and is not listed by name on the team site (no numbers on team site but I crosschecked with NGLL list).

Seems to me, there should be some avenue to contact NGLL if we have video proof of unknown number playing in a game.

Do you want to make that move, or is that a move you leave up to your Club/Coach? They should be the ones pursuing it.

As a parent I've never seen the rosters of the other teams so I'm guessing this IS the coach asking...

Exactly, I don't want to make something out of nothing, just wondering if anyone has seen or experienced this sort of thing happening.

Some tournaments have rosters on their site but we got a list from NGLL asking us to verify all the information, NGLL sent it out because many rosters had multiple teams listed for one kid.

What team are you speaking of? If the player is not on the roster than the coach would have to be notified at the start of the game.

I looked on the NGLL website and couldn’t find anything about moving. Where are the rules laid out?

So how did you see the roster if you’re not the coach? I’ve never seen a roster for even our team, much less other teams.

Honestly, are we really at that point? We know kids hold back, why not the police that too.

If you are concerned with the size of girls, you better get your roster out when you play Heros green.

I prefer not to say since I am not 100% positive, but the situation to me appears to be an older B team player playing on a younger A team, based on the jersey number and what I piece together on the site.
I just spoke to our coach and she basically said nothing we can do after the fact, so I let this lay.

http://www.nationalgirlslacrosseleague.com/Rules.html

Substitute Players: Teams may use players from a lower age group and/or level - meaning: a "B" player can play up an age group and/or division and an "A" player may only play up an age group... Ex. a 2027 "A" player may substitute on a 2026 "A", but NOT a 2026 "B" team. If you are going to do this, you must email mlynch@nationalgirlslacrosseleague.com Thursday before the game will be played and you must notify the opposing coach and scorekeeper before the game.

Failure to comply will result in forfeiture of the game.

NGLL out out a roster on March 1st.

Most clubs have roster on team site.

Ha, there are some big kids no doubt about it, not saying that makes them a player playing down, but that, add to the fact that the number is not listed.

Don’t be so sensitive. M&D lost to Heros by 2
And Pride lost by 1. It should be a good game.

That roster 3/1 was definitely not the final. NGLL opened registration back up for teams who didn’t have everyone registered. I know because I registered my daughter 3/12 and got confirmation from Sheridan. Are you seriously saying a girl is playing down because she’s “bigger than most”? That is ridiculous.

Wow, really? That's really sad. I hope for your sake you are a 7th grade girl.

Lots of teams have girls “bigger than most” but they are also listed on the rosters.

Pride got hosed. 2 tough games in same day.

Just like summer tournies will be ! Deal with it and keep playing the best to get better mommy.

Sorry but the gap is closing on Hero’s and the coach recruiting players after his team only wins by 1 is the indicator

Id say it’s getting bigger. Last time LBC won 10-7

I thought LBC's goalie and best middie went to MDU? Doesn't look like it worked out very well for MDU. One of the parents on the sidelines said the new goalie was one of their best field players. She was pretty impressive in the goal during our game with LBC.

The Hero's goalie was lights out in goal. Huge difference maker

Integrity is not doing too good. Maybe they need to recruit some more girls from the programs around them. Great “Integrity” group of people.

You can be exposed without being deemed a close contact. Go drive your car with your mask on and be quiet.

You really are a classy person hope you never have to have Covid or a family member.

When are the Integrity tryouts?

I heard Yellow Jackets are coming to the area to play some teams this weekend. Anyone know who they are playing?

July 18th, as of now

Hero’s both teams and Pride

That LBC goalie is no joke comes out of the goal and has better stick work then anyone I’ve seen at that age. I don’t know if she is new to the position or what but she is impressive. Is that a new player? I thought someone said they lost there goalie.

That will be interesting

I would avoid Integrity at all costs. We left there last year because it was such a mess. We have never looked back. Disorganized. Lack of coaching or coach doesn’t show up at all (yes this actually did happen). Lack of recruiting support for older players (same coach who didn’t show up & many unhappy older players unless you are a coach/RD favorite). Choose wisely because your club decision does really matter since high school is right around the corner. There are too many better options available to settle for Integrity.

Ok, LBC Mom/ Director we get it she’s the best and better than your old goalie.
I’ve also seen her play, and was OK. Definitely not the best out there.

One team beat them. The silence from the Heros parents is deafening.

That silence was based on the YJ coach having his players just stand near the sideline and hold the ball...in the first half and most of the second half. It was not disbelief that Hero's was losing...but that he was doing this...in a scrimmage. Overall, YJ is a very good team. He could have just let the girls play it out. Maybe he thought it was more important to win the scrimmage than to just play. And let's not even get started on the zone D.
I have a feeling Hero's Green and White will be just fine

Both teams have great players! They should do it more often! D was outstanding will be fun to see where all these girls go!

No excuses they are a good team . There parents were a little out of line the coaches had to have a talk with them . They also had a mixed squad and your typical holdbacks it’s what’s expected from there . But a very talented bunch of kids .

In the words of the great Herm Edwards you play to WIN the game, since when is a zone defense illegal?

[ChillLaxin]? Hopefully we learn from the loss . Will be interesting to see if changes are made to the team in the off season. Also not every hero parent is an butt with excuses . Just glad they played some good competition and they have to step up next time.

This is true, but there is another word in there...PLAY....not just hold the ball. It's one thing to do it at the end of the game, but this was in the first half. And zone is totally legal, just not something you see many teams play at this age, as kids are learning how to slide and play man. At the end of the day, YJ is good, and it's one loss for Green. They will be just fine...it in fact will probably help them come summer. They lost once last year too. No excuses

Thanks Heros parents, keep showing your lack of class. It’s comical how pathetic you all really are. If the tables were turned M and D would have invited you all to the play date because we value your daughters level of play and want our team to continue to get better as well. Karma is coming your way.

Just to set the record straight. This was initiated by Yellow Jackets. They invited Hero’s and M&D. Both accepted and for whatever reason M&D decided to opt out.

It was 100% there team, no holdbacks and no mixed squad. How could you make that statement based on what you saw?

Who cares. This is the mid atlantic region 26 thread.

Good Job M&D and Pride winning Sunday and good luck this weekend. Should be some exciting lacrosse games.

Important advice to parents and girls deciding on high school. Make sure to talk to current players at each respective high school. Not just the starters. Talk to players who are new to the team who get limited playing time. Are they being encouraged and learning from the coach? Are they included in practice or do they stand on the sidelines? We made a very poor choice in attending a top IAAM school with a young and inexperienced coach. We regret our decision and wish we had talked to more players.

This is great advice.

Another big point - look at the JV. Does the head Varsity coach pay attention to the JV? Are practices completely separate or do they do the stretches, stick warm-up etc. together?

DD has been hurt most of the season but head Varsity coach noticed that she still attends every practice and game and told her how great it was she showed her commitment to the team/program. It was a short but very important conversation. Coach knows all of the JV players and stays for some of most games - all of it if it's a big game. We are a top WCAC team, fwiw

Heros 26 Green v White in the NGLL finals. Hey Heros green parents. Stop dumping on the girls on the white team. Be careful what you say in public. If I hear it again I will call you publicly. Heard today by the players and parents at RPSG. “Oh good they’re just our B team, we will beat them easily”. White is not a B team!! Was it really that fun winning by double digits all season???

My D is not this age group, but that is low class by the Green parents. I'll be routing for White to win, and if they do the club should change their name to Green. Good luck!

Why don’t you just call out the parents instead of posting on a gossip blog and making it seem like all heros green parents are donkey?If there is trash talk confront it head on. Don’t come on here and say what you will do next time. It’s dense.

Beat them and talk will stop. They way it works it green was evaluated higher. They are the top of the club until proved differently.

Has the Heros B team ever won a game against the A team?

No and never will!

No but M and D has. Look I heard the both sides of Heros Green and White parents talking garbage about the girls. Sad it was sad to hear how disrespectful that club cultural really is and everyone was showing their true colors. Wishing the best of luck to the GIRLS on both teams. Tune out your parents girls they are toxic!! Good luck

That was a great game to watch. Hard fought on both sides! Congrats to all the girls!!

I have no affiliation with either team and just happened to catch some of the championship game in passing, but I was appalled by the talk of the parents. A mother on the green team loudly celebrated every time a girl shot on goal... yelling to shove it in her face or some nonsense. Vicious..... those might be future teammates of your darling daughter out there. Might want to show a little class and just be excited your club has such a talented pool of girls at that age range. I thought the White team put in a great effort and their goalie was impressive.

Not in this age group. Happened once with the 2020s though.

Totally agree. Well said.

Evaluations there are many players on the white team that should be on the green team there tryouts are a joke with mom coach not fair and really political. They are not fair and the parents make it even worse . Nasty group of people .

Heros White goalie was amazing today!!

Most of the green teams parents are low class at every age, not just 2026. Expect nothing more. The White team is far from a B team, all other teams in 2026 know it, but their own club’s A team belittles them. Great club. Most teams prefer to play them over green because of the parents. Call them out next time.

Heros parents loud and obnoxious? Never, that is Shocking to read! Unfortunately the coaches never address mom or dad living their ESPN highlights through young women. And call it out, those Randall’s in the world that think one play is like the 3rd strike in the World Series.

Get a grip parents. Cheer for your team but never at the expense of another player. As someone posted, teams change and your little darling could be playing with them next season.

I can most certainly say that an older green team parents are beyond awful and dread my daughter playing against them. It's disgusting how they behave on the sidelines and watch out if your team is beating them, it gets ugly.
And it's just green.

Don’t let it bother you. Most will ride the bench in college.
That’s what happens when you create a pipeline and you dont create “creative players” who play formulaically and can’t hack dynamic play.. Most just sitting there resting on feathers, while waiting to go to MD or other Div 1 who have fallen out of the rankings because formulas don’t work anymore.

None of this or other posts seem good and certainly doesn't help Hero's image for girls/families looking to move to the better MD programs. Every club/program seems to have their "issues" per say you take with some grain of salt but this commentary on the state of Hero's doesn't bode well.

The Green parents for most age groups are intense. Some more than others. but a few that take games entirely too serious. The poor kids having to listen to the Randall’s of this club making comments about ref calls or how a girl missed a ground ball.

Agree, and I am an M&D parent.

The green goalie is good, but has she been battle tested. 26 Green demolishes teams, thus she doesn't get many shots.

Maybe you should try convincing her to come play on your M&D team. They could use an upgrade at goalie.

If the Hero’s white goalie is so good why is she on the White team?

Each of the Hero's 26 teams are only carrying one goalie. She may be there by default. A lot of teams in the area are carrying goalies on their B team that have no business being there. Hopefully Heros holds a fair tryout and gives the girl an opportunity to move up (if that is what she wants.)

This is great advice for sure, but difficult if you don't know any of the players. Since this is an anonymous post, do you mind sharing what top IAAM school you regret choosing?

Better sideline on the B team. Plus their B team is really another A team.

Both Green and White were 8-0 regular season and Green won the championship game by 2 goals (not some landslide) with really good goalies on both teams who get to play full games. Bet players on both teams are happy, improving, playing with friends, and having fun etc.

M and D coach had a chance and 100% blew his chance of getting a goalie half way decent. His team has girls on there that are bullies. It’s a shame watching this happen to a team and all the while the head coach does nothing to stop the banter and degrading comments.

Well there is a reason MG is taking the team over. I'd expect things to change next.

Mary is NOT taking over the 26 team. She has made this clear. She wants to be an assistant coach and nothing more. Unfortunately the head coach will remain the same and no changes will be made. This summer will be interesting for the team and the club as a whole.

Not at all. I think Mary will (and should) take over

He's too nice (read weak) to ever say anything. The dynamic is awkward at best with MG. I honestly have no idea why he does it.

MG seems more concerned about her coaching clinics and HS which makes sense.

Like Joe Flacco when Lamar came in. Coach knows it’s coming soon.

7 yellow cards in the Hero’s Green championship game? 7 total between the 2 teams? Either the refs were a little whistle happy or that was a dirty game. If it’s the latter, I’d be concerned on how they are being coached.

Agreed — I watched the 25 Hero’s white goalie during the NGLL playoff. 🔥🔥

How is she not on green? What kind of craziness is going on over there that is holding her back?

That happened in our team too for a few years. We were all puzzled as to why they move certain players and not others(23’s)
it all comes down to the directors making promises to families, and maybe hs coaches.? Maybe he doesn’t want to upset a family that’s been there at the club for a while?
Your director needs a backbone.

I heard that several Hero 25 goalies tried out for American Select. I’m not sure which one(s) made it, but I heard white performed well.

It was noted earlier, but 2026 white is a close second to green (unlike some other years). Both teams met in the championship and it was close (2 points). Maybe she has decided players, parents, and coaches on white are a better fit for her.

MG isn't taking over as HC. Too many other things going on. There is a very good new HC coming next year though and MG will stay as assistant.

I'd assume if anyone is really interested that SR would give them the details if you reach out to him. I'd expect they will announce it sometime soon. The two will make a great tandem and allow MG the time she needs to be a parent of a D1 player and a HS coach. The team is in good hands going forward.

The head coach has made it CLEAR to his team and parents he is not leaving. This is all a game SR and CR play in hopes for more girls to try out for the 26 team. More girls try out they can now have a red and black team. This “new coach “ will be for the red team. This happened two years ago and the red team never was.

Lol. Ok. I 100% guarantee you that there will be a new head coach. He has made it clear he isn't leaving but that doesn't mean he will be the head coach. I am not sure if he will be back in any capacity but I do KNOW FOR CERTAIN that there will be a very good new head coach and that MG will continue to assist.

I'm not either SR or CR. Just someone that knows what's going on. Like was said earlier if you are a 2026 parent just ask SR. I'm sure he will tell you what's happening after this summer. They will be publicizing it soon enough.

deserved it... they were hands down better team not a hero person

Angry Heros Green parents. Even in this age group. One team against another. Parents against parents. Unfortunate you can’t celebrate the win. The club rises together, not only as a Green Team. Great job Tierney building a cut throat club. You should modify your website. “We eat our own”

What are you talking about? Heros is a great program with coaches who know what they are doing and with the two best goalies in the country at this age group, they simply can beat anyone, including each other. M&D and Skywalkers can't catch them unless they revamp the teams.

How did Tierney create a cut throat club. Best 2 teams in 26 come from heros. This is great and parents need to settle. Great thing for the 40 plus girls when recruiting comes. I’m not a heros person but this is impressive. Congrats heros 26

It should be great for the club having two great teams. However it is not. Parents are pitted against each other ans so are the players. Tierney preaches unity and one club but allows the sideline craziness to happen. The snarky comments from Green parents. Never says a word.

and get ready because M&D is revamping the team...

SW always revamps their high school teams with players from outside of Maryland and studs from other clubs.

It’s starts at tryouts when they separate the girls into groups when in turn separates the parents. I have nothing against Tierney but it’s just going to happen.

Congrats to the girls on a great championship game. I have never heard more parents talk so bad about each other and their own team’s players. Most, not all. They are the club’s problem along with a director who is notorious for looking the other way as long as the teams are winning.

Really? Interesting because CR or SR will address the teams issues or concerns. No change is coming if there was they would let the 26 team know. Instead they hide and ignore.

One game and it was a close game. Take a breath parents. Watch the next game when Heros White and Green play. Once Green wins again, the chatter will subside. Green will be back on top

Katie Love will be the new M&D coach come fall with MG assisting.

How did you find this out?

I’m curious too! How does anyone know for sure?

Do you think these things happen in a vacuum? I’m just putting information out there. If you want to confirm reach out to SR. This is what’s happening. Between KL and MG you won’t find a better coached team.

As someone considering a move to a new program in MD, seeing things like this around Heros doesn't put them in a good light that's for sure.

CR just confirmed in email to M&D families. KL HC, MG, AC.

Heros is a good program. It is club so a little more cut-throat. Heros don’t do a great job of club Green/White unity. They preach it, website promises it, but it doesn’t happen. And the girls don’t really interact. It’s not a Happy go lucky, all team environment.

Green is green. And White is white.

Green players have a sense of elite entitlement. And Tierney knows it, doesn’t say anything and parents take it because they want to get recruited.

Probably wasn't hard to convince her to coach 8th graders with MG as opposed to coaching a 3rd grade developmental team. She's been a varsity coach out in San Diego for 3 years and at McD for many years before that.

Has the old 2026 Black coach resigned? Will he finish out the season?

I bet he does. He won’t have any heat knowing there is a new coach coming. He can go out and say “I left the team as the #3 ish team in the country.”

Will this new 2026 coach , KL make this team better? They are supposed to have a red team this year do they even have that many girls trying out? I would think a more established name would make people bring their kids to tryouts... if the team is to get better they need some new players.

KL is an established name. And the fact the MG is her assistant makes it even better. Not many club teams can offer you two HS Varsity coaches. I'm pretty certain their will be new girls at tryouts this summer.

Oh kids will be coming ! And the red coach is already looking.

Oh kids will be coming ! And the red coach is already looking.

Look for a club program that is struggling to lose most of their team.

HoCo Black??

Like Heros green, since Heros white has about 6-8 better players!

Was the M&D Red coach previously coaching a 26 team? If so that would/may be a bunch of new players.

Not sure why you would pay M&D rates to play B, but that's a different issue.

No a college asst and recycled coach. M&D rates are same as other clubs except Hoco. Will have own practice facility and other quality resources other clubs do not have. Plus their red teams choose to play the top levels some. Lots of clubs ‘A’ teams play lower levels. Hoco , Md United all play middle tiers in summer with them.

He did the club a favor when we didn’t have anyone else. Would the results really be any different this spring?

Time to bury this horse, it's been beaten way past its death. Same with Heros parents and Green v. White.

He agreed to help coach this weekend since it was short notice and MG didn't have anyone to assist. He is gone after tomorrow.

Leave it alone. Coach is a good guy. Not ideal but it has to work for both going forward. IP and the team will both be fine.

Wow ... we are going there? I guess you are keeping stats? Nothing better to do.

Very possible. Their coach / board member is gonna have to fight to keep them. Field hockey more important than lacrosse

Not true he said he read this Forum and realized he was being replaced for next year. So he decided to step down immediately because he felt he was not wanted anymore. He had no clue about this forum until it was brought to his attention.

I thought he said he normally doesn’t check the forum. He definitely knew of the forum.

Regardless, it was a rough weekend for the team…

I know this much. Coach will be fine. He’s a good man. He was loyal to some kids on that team and most wanted him replaced. This year at tryout will be interesting as new and talented players come and move long standing black players off the team. To the parents. You get what you asked for ! Hope your kid isn’t one that gets replaced.

M&D lost 3 games each by one goal. Not the end of the world, but they will need to make some small changes.

It will be a garbage-shoot. Parents are going to come because of Mary G. Don’t be fooled. She is a technical coach and just won IAAM. She will attract the talent. Once it happens, teams will balance and that Heros Green won’t be rolling teams.

That's right, Heros White will be rolling teams as the dead weight will be gone this year and then not have any weaknesses.

You people really have no clue. Take it from someone who is done with girl’s club lacrosse, you will save yourself a lot of headaches and frustration and broken friendships if you just go enjoy watching your daughter play and ignore the rest of the noise. Your daughter will enjoy her experience a lot more as well.

Interesting that the best 26 team at heros won’t be Tierney’s. Where will the white team get players from to replace this dead weight. People are always looking for spots on b teams.

Heros white players to M&D black if they don’t make green. Mark it down. They will get to play in too brackets all the time that way !

Pretty sure they already do...

Mary G. will pluck players from Heros Green and White. The hostility in Heros and culture created and tolerated by Tierney will ultimately be the demise of that team. It doesn’t matter they have a few talented players. As the girls get older, talent levels off with individual players and team play is what will win games, not single players. Too many crazy parents and Tierney allows the nonsense. Mary G. has a great reputation and players will jump. It doesn’t matter that Cathy Reese’s daughter is on 26 Green. People know that not very kid is going to Maryland and will rather be happy and in a positive environment.

You know some of you are going to have daughters who come to you in high school and tell you that they are quitting lacrosse because they detest it, have a boyfriend, found something they enjoy doing more so you might want to enjoy just watching them play the game now because it is fun.

That may or may not be true for Green, but it is definitely not true for White. The very reason they are being so successful is because they play like a team. Watch them and you will see. They are a cohesive unit and the kids and parents all like each other.

Won’t happen in high school. Green will get Mnd black , sw blue , yj top team , monster. White will get the sloppy seconds and everyone knows it.

Heros parent here. Not sure what anyone is talking about regarding a hostile environment in Heros. Girls seem to like their teammates and get along with the other Heros team. Some are very close friends and go to school together. Do they compete? Yes. Game are tight and it’s great competition. Both teams seem to be the tops in their age group which is pretty cool. Have not seem and drama or ever heard parents bad mouth any girls on the other team. This is all fake news.
But I’m sure MG will come in and make everything better for M&D. She definitely will miss her daughters games in college to coach a 2026 team on the weekends. 🙄

I already hear this from my daughter's friends in 7th grade. Don't think it won't be your kid because it definitely can be.

Who are you fooling? There is no way they get ANY Heros' players. MG isn't enough to draw them from a winning program to a dysfunctional team that has been that way for YEARS. Bad juju is still there. Read the threads of the crazy m&d moms disguised as anonymous. Let's be real here, unless MG can get someone to stop us from scoring, there is no chance. It's been obvious in every game we play M&D this past year and it's not looking like it will change. The only positive for M&D is they can still keep games close but can't win. We've got the best team, the second best team and the best goalies. Hero's is where it is at. Hostility? Demise?
Please. #1 and #2 teams in the country. Hero's.

Don't let your kids read this because they will want to quit lacrosse when they hear the truth.

My daughter is a rising HS senior and has played since kindergarten. This couldn’t be more true. She is committed and very excited to play in college but there were definitely quite a few times she wanted a break and wanted to check out other interests - even in high school after playing at a top high school and on various showcase teams like UA. She always came back around on her own but quite a few of her friends never did. And quite a few are still college committed but absolutely detest the sport now but feel pressured to follow thru until the end. Burn out is REAL and happens to the most committed and passionate of them. Parents need to savor every season and stop the undue pressure they deliberately or subliminally put on their child.

You’re right. You are the first club ever to have 2 really good teams so you will show us ! Enjoy the fake A brackets.

I wouldn’t be so sure. Things change fast and people rarely see it coming.

Just as an outside observer, the constant chatter from the Hero's side here doesn't help your image or put your club in a good light. I know all clubs have issues including M&D, but none of this looks good. Just enjoy the success and keep moving forward.

Heros 2021 Green was one of the better teams in the country in middle school and by high school they could hardly win a game in A brackets of tournaments. Things are going to change a lot at the 26 level in the next 2 years. You can mark that down.

Maybe, but until M&D rids itself of the stale parents that pushed their coach out and slowly ruined that team, they won't be good enough to challenge the best teams anymore. If that is what you're referring to, then maybe you're right, but since you're probably one of those, you're probably wrong.

I wish you would identify yourself so in august we could say I told you so. Mark this down. 2 new kids for sure. Best player on their current team. And yes some parents will not be there anymore with their kid.

The two best players are going to Hero's Green. That's for sure.

Only time will tell what happens in the tournaments and if players jump clubs. Don’t be fooled, parents admire the Name Recognition of top clubs, Heros, Skywalkers, M&D, etc. Club tryouts are cutthroat and teams will cut one girl to get another. There is ZERO loyalty.

If that is what you're referring to, then maybe you're right, but since you're probably one of those, you're probably wrong.[/quote]

I wish you would identify yourself so in august we could say I told you so. Mark this down. 2 new kids for sure. Best player on their current team. And yes some parents will not be there anymore with their kid.[/quote]

The two best players are going to Hero's Green. That's for sure.[/quote]

I thought it was the hero’s white parents on m and d that were the stale parents?

Wasn't there a story about 2 former heros parents who now have a kid on mnd getting in a fight with each other on mnd sidelines?
That was 2nd hand but you can't make that up.

Heros and M&D are terrible about player development. All about the Wins. Game plans are centered on a few shooters. Practices are designed to design plays to get the ball to the stars. No work on skill development so the ones who are very good but not the stars, don’t get the coaching they need to be better. Opponents should watch some game film and and focus their defenses on stopping the few shooters.

Yes this did happen with the 2022 team. I witnessed it. And the next post about opposing teams studying who these shooters are is true. Reason the M&D 22 team started losing games the last 2 years. Ball will be going to #6 - it’s a guarantee. Easy to stop. They figured it out in the IAAM too!

So enlighten us. Which club is great for player development ?

Teams have 2 practices a week. Approx 3 hours. How much time should be spent on passing and catching with the whole group. Some of the really good ones do that during the day and need to learn the game at practice. Some girls will never be the stars and should learn how to use their skills in a team setting. This is spoken like a parent that is mad cause their daughter doesn’t have equal plays called for her even though she isn’t as good.

But did the IAAM figure it out? Is it easy to stop? Was this player held scoreless in playoffs?

You all need so much help it’s ridiculous.

On their way home after losing. How many games has Hero’s green lost in the last few weeks? Guessing more than in the last few years. Long Island is now the center of the lax universe. Yellow Jackets easily handled M&D in the finals.

yes they did!!!!

HG with losses to YJ and Aces Elite in back to back games. Looks like some of the earlier posts about HG not being dominant as they get older is starting to come true.

Don’t get too excited, all they did was beat Heros B team.

No they beat Heros green, Heros white and M and D Black

Heros Green starting to implode. Faced tough competition and crumbled. They will make changes during tryouts and bring girls up from White. White players will jump. Don’t fool yourself. They say no but they do and will go.

Club is club and players want to be on the A team. Doesn’t matter what club, Heros Green, M&D Black, SkyWalkers Blue, HOCo Black….all A teams and everyone wants to be on them. The question is can Tierney keep the peace? Girls jumping, will White completely be ravaged and parents get fed up? Already huge divide now because of culture that Tierney allows.

Considering this is the MD board I assume they were referring to M and D, not YJ.

So much nonsense on here. 2026 has a lot of talented hard working girls. Try not to screw them up parents.

A lot of outsiders just trying to stir up trouble as well. Pretty easy to see. Relax. Enjoy being back to normal lacrosse and let the girls have fun. Just because some teams lost a couple games doesn't mean anything. These girls on all the top teams are all good athletes. They'll rebound. Just sets up for some more great lacrosse going forward.

True. It’s never as good as it seems and it’s never as bad as it seems.

Get the popcorn ready. This weekend will be another show

rumor has it a couple green and white girls looking at M&D now that Gagnon is the head coach. could be a real eye opener.

Asking for a friend.

Would serve heros right. Their young coaches are sending invites to kids on other clubs trying to get them to tryouts. This garbage needs to stop. It’s happening at 29 level. Just ask the coach see what he says.

When the White girls leave for Green, AND THEY WILL AND DO, parents left on the White Team will be upset then whining that the team is ravaged. Better start planning ahead for tryouts. If anyone on this forum thinks Tierney is not going to pluck White players, I have beachfront property in Iowa for sale.

Better start planning ahead. Think about what other club will compete. Just look at older age groups. Teams that dominate at 6/7/8th grade. Then girls level off and moves happen and it is no longer 1 team dominating. Just look from 20-24s now. Don’t get stuck out in the cold.

It happens every year.

No, other years have not had a white team nearly as dominant as this one. But it will happen. Recruiting for college is getting closer and closer and it looks so much better to be on the green team than the white team.

They do it at all ages too. I know of a player that was removed from her current club after being caught practicing with hero's (even skipping practice with her actual team sometimes).

Coaches could care less what team you’re on. They want players period end of discussion.

Thank you for your thoughts M&D parent/ coach/ supporter trying to drive people to your tryouts.

You mean spots on the squad before tryouts?

Nope….HoCo parent. But have a daughter that played in older age bracket. You will see.

I’m sure getting them to tryouts will lead to an invite.

They want players that play the best competition and green will get that in recruiting with the tougher brackets. Look at the 22 brackets most weekends.

Both teams play at the top level. No difference between any of the teams being discussed on this board when it comes to recruiting. They will all be seen because they are part of the top teams around.

The top recruiting showcases, top tourneys will not all both Hero's teams to be in the top pool. That's a pipedream. They will push Hero's white to a lower pool with other B team clubs

This person is 100% correct. Heros will push the White Team to the B bracket. If they stay in the A bracket, it will be the easy brackets and no college coaches will pay that much attention. Better the play in B and be in the Top of the Bracket. Look at the recruiting at the tournaments. No colleges standing for low level A clubs. They go to the hard brackets to watch. Both A and B.

Wait. Why wouldn’t White players want to play for Green? Is t that why you have a second team? So players who develop later have a chance to make the top team?? Not sure why this is a bad thing. It happens every year in every club.

Interesting that M&D tryouts are during the US Lax Nationals where most of the top talent will be. Might not be a big turnout like some would have hoped for.

Are there any B or 2nd teams worth playing for or should we look at a lower "A" team?

Top talent ? Who even plays this anymore?

YJ, Green, white. You heard of them?

There will be lots of girls there- they will bail on day one of the tourney

All the top ages are on July 12 for MND tryouts! If they make one day! That is all that is needed.

I would suggest looking at the Skywalkers program. They always end up catching up with these teams and get a lot of girls recruited. They are concerned with the players' development as a player and as a human. Honestly, with the way these parents are speaking on this forum about 7th-grade girls and each other, I don't think these teams would be an option for me. BTW, I do not have a player in this age group AT ALL. I was just poking around the forum and started reading the comments.

Heros is makin changes and they lied to so many I can understand wanting to try Skywalkers or even M&D with MG now on board.

Heros is a joke. Tierney is trying to stop the club from imploding. Matching players against players. She doesn’t have the best interest of girls in mind. Only cares about the Green teams .

Leave and go to SkyWalkers, M&D, or Coppermine. Heros will implode like the 20, 21, 22, 23 Green teams. Not able to keep pace with other clubs because they eat their own. None of them are #1 in age divisions. Are they ranked high, yes, not #1 though.

When a club promotes that nonsense, you will not be successful. Will Green girls get recruited…yep. But they will not be on the best team for that particular year. White girls leave now before teams are set and be part of a winning program and be recruited.

Being number 1 shouldn’t be an issue in club. Be on a team that competes and get recruited. Grass isn’t always greener but you will find that out after a couple times moving. Should just stay and work it out.

You all can stop recruiting the White team. They are coming so open your arms to them.

How did Heros lie to many? Did they tell the white parents thT your kid can never move up to green? Or we will keep whites best players with white so you can keep your team together so your daughter won’t be sad? Give me a break... no girl on any “second” team would pass up chance to move up.

Looking forward to having the talented Heros White players come join my daughter on her team. Heros loss will be our win. I am sure other teams will as well. Tierney will not care and the White will be decimated and pick up Rec players. But Tierney won’t care. Green will be Green, she will have the money from White and it will be a true top and bottom team and parents will stop complaining. Welcome to the Heros mentality.

M&D parents and players should be worried. I’m guessing the Black team will all move down to Red. Black will look different with new players and parents. Mary is not fooling around she is competitive and wants a team who works hard and wants to win. Going to the beach and missing practices is not an option anymore. New coach new standards. Good Luck M &D black!!

You all are certifiably nuts. You have no idea. Save these posts so that when your daughter is done club, you can go back and read your nonsense. Stop caring so much about your own ego and being on the best team. Start caring more about your daughter. Please. Before you ruin her high school club experience.

Girls will get recruited from other teams. Without a doubt. But the college coaches that watch those other teams are far and few between. Yes, both my daughters played. One for a top tier team and one for another less intense club. So I have experience from both perspectives. My youngest took much longer.

The question you must answer, where is the best fit for your daughter. Where will she play. Being on Heros Green, M&D Black, or SW Blue means zero if she is getting 5-10 minutes. But you have to know getting colleges to look at her from a TLC or Checkers is going to be much more difficult.

Good luck in your decisions.

Top 3 will send a majority to D1
Second teams will get some to lower D1 and good d 3
Some clubs will only get d3.
Look at their committment page and see.

Agreed. For many, especially at the IAAM schools. they won’t even play all four years of high school. For those that do play in college, it won’t be at your big name schools and most won’t even play all four years there. Like I have posted on here before folks, those are just the cold hard facts and wasting your time about which 2026 girls club is better just ruins the experience for your daughter. You won’t get these days back so why don’t you just enjoy watching her play and stop worrying about the ridiculous recruiting nonsense and which club will get her seen. I have run this race and just want to pass along a little hard earned knowledge.

Not an mnd parent, and I get what you’re saying but they still win more than all teams but maybe 2 or 3. If you say they didn’t do well because of the coach, how do you explain them winning so much? There is more talent on that team than you think.

You have to ignore this troll. To say an entire team will move down even though they have played heroes green harder and probably beat them more than any other team ever has is a joke. He/she clearly has major schadenfreude about 7th grade girls lacrosse players for whatever reason.

That being said, the troll has a point about a new regime at MandD at the 2026 grade level. But all teams will look different. All the top teams will change/add 5-6 girls. Based on what i have seen the past couple years there is a lot of talent on MandD already, and with real club coaching and a few more "key" additions, it will be heroes green and MandD black at the top around that area for years to come. As HS classmates and future teammates in college, hopefully the players and their parents of both programs will respect and root for each other. It's probably a good thing that heroes white is imploding. Word is some of those parents were toxic and it showed at games and trickled down to their daughters' attitudes.

And your kid is going to red.

Key term is PARENTS. The Randall’s of this world make teams toxic. People feed off of him and it causes teams to get a bad reputation. Screaming at refs, making comments about players, and thinks he understands the game but never played anything competitive other than hopscotch.

Heros has allowed him to act like a fool for years. Good thing his daughters are talented or his nonsense would not be tolerated.

How true is that statement above about him. Randal is a Hall of Famer in lacrosse. His years of playing and coaching makes him a valued voice. Oh wait a minute, Randal only knows about making himself sound better and zero about lacrosse. If you stand on the sidelines and you hear a parent from Heros Green making obnoxious comments, then you know Randal.

It is an exaggeration that all will move to red. But if it is true a lot of players are moving over then there will be some unhappy people that get moved to red.

Lots of rocks being thrown here and there is really no need to call out any individuals by name... There are loud parents on EVERY team, obnoxious parents on MOST teams. there are more than a few parents on M&D Black that are very vocal talking / yelling about players on their own teams and opposing teams.

You should cheer for the girls. Not ridicule refs, or comment on players. Why not call Randal out? He has been doing it for years and made the 26 Green Team toxic. Parents won’t consider trying out because of him and his garage band of commentaries. Why do you think White is just as good? One reason parents don’t want their kids around him or his antics.
Difference between Randal and other loud parents, common dignity. For a laugh Randal makes a comment but could care less the damage it inflicts to the person or kid. Call it like it is and yes called him out by name because everyone in the 26 and older age brackets knows the “Heros Dad” that acts like this.

Only about 20 can make the team. Have to understand the coach gets to make that call about what level she thinks kids will be successful at. Plenty of spots for players at other clubs besides the top 3 in the area.

His garage band trying to defend him. When parents from other clubs talk about “That Heros Dad” first thought is Randal. Best Monday Morning QB that has zero lacrosse experience.

Hopscotch!

TRUTH is I don’t see your name on this post! But you have no problem posting this parent’s name. Don’t like it move to another club. M&D red looking for players

How about talking with those people with your issues but no, you post this BS on an Anonymous website. Weak, truth!

So if you have a 26 player what team should she tryout for?

BS? What is BS about it? Heros Green eating their own to make sure they don’t lose again to White? Or Randal is obnoxious? No BS. All True.

Other clubs move kids up and down. It’s club and part of it. HOWEVER, parents in other clubs actually cheer for their other teams. Green would never do that at 26 age bracket.

All of the top teams have craziness. You just need to pick the one you can stomach the most.

You can not escape it in girl’s club lacrosse. Every team has their parent issues. Ignore the noise, focus on your daughter, and go anywhere but Heros.

Try Skywalkers .. non parent coaches who know what they are doing. Your kid will get recruited even from the white teams.

Not many high level kids from white at SW. lots of d3.

Agreed SW white sends a lot of players to D3, D2 and lower D1 programs and you can say the same for M&D Red. The truth is not everyone has the skills to attend a top 20 D1 program so these are 2 decent club options.

Look at the 2022 recruits to see what clubs send their players where. Lots has changed the past two recruiting classes and not because of Covid. Lots of kids recruited to top D1 from other areas of the country - not just the hot beds. Playing for the top Maryland clubs is no longer a guarantee of a top D1 spot. Lots of super talented players in the Maryland area 2022 class have gone Top D2 and Top D3 instead. I would say M&D 22 Black is the only local club that had a lot of players going to top programs.

Look at the 2022 recruits to see what clubs send their players where. Lots has changed the past two recruiting classes and not because of Covid. Lots of kids recruited to top D1 from other areas of the country - not just the hot beds. Playing for the top Maryland clubs is no longer a guarantee of a top D1 spot. Lots of super talented players in the Maryland area 2022 class have gone Top D2 and Top D3 instead. I would say M&D 22 Black is the only local club that had a lot of players going to top programs. Many of the other top clubs in the area still have many players without homes.

the entire SW 22 Blue team is going to D1..all 20 girls

All of Heros 2022 is going D1. Play for the top 3 clubs on Black, Green, or Blue and you will be going D1 if you want.

Incorrect. All of Heros 22 is not going D1. The team is not 100% recruited. Only SW is.

Which is odd because I consider SW the weakest of the big three. They can't compete at the 27 or 28 levels. I guess they will get better each year, prob take the back end of M&D and Hero's too.

1 Girl, but she has been out for over a year.

SW is the best club in the area in terms of getting their girls recruited. And I'm the parent of a former M&D player that is going to a high end D1 school. YJ and SW are the best without question when it comes to pushing their girls to schools. As has been said here several times, it makes no difference what teams are good in middle school. By the time they get to 11th grade it is rinse and repeat in terms of commitments. SW and M&D are 1 and 1a. Hero's usually lags behind a little but not every year as with the 22s. Was definitely the case with the 19s-21s.

I'm a little green here, but if your playing in the A brackets, and going against the top clubs, won't you get recruited as long as you are performing? What does the club do better than others? I mean plenty of clubs in the state get D1 commits right?

Club contacts and relationships have A TON to do with which girls go to which schools. The coaches are watching the girls play but they're also talking to the club coaches and directors about players constantly. Carol Rose is the best in the biz at getting her girls recruited. There's no question about it. The McLaughlin's and Robinson's are very good as well. This is why players flock to these clubs at the high school level. There are plenty of other clubs in the area that play in A brackets that don't come close in terms of D1 commits that the top 3 in the area do.

The directors definitely play a huge part in it. The directors put pressure on coaches to offer their kids. I've been told this directly by several coaches. Carol Rose is well known for it. It's why YJ had so many 2021s(5 or 6 if I remember correctly) committed prior to the recruiting rules changing and M&D and SW had a combined 1 commit at the time.

It's both. There is a trust with college coaches in coming to see those players as well as how they turn out in college. SW is probably top dog there, from the DMV, with the current collegiate players.

TLC struggles against the big 3 but for example; however, some of the best players in the country come from there - Sarah Cooper at Cuse and Grace Haus at UF for example.

Relationships help get you looks. Especially on clubs outside of the bigger names.

I believe the Robinson’s are out with CR primary focus on FL. I expect a big drop off starting with the 23s. Top 3/4 will go big name but rest will fall off.

Rising 8th grade parents worried about college recruiting???? Have we lost our mind? Are we there? I hope my daughter still loves lax and doesn’t quit. From older parents, they said their daughters just quit because of this pressure. My daughter still loves lax and when the time comes for recruiting I will worry.

I can tell you now, the talent on the 2027 team of M&D, they will not drop off. Currently #1 in the nation. Lots of talent. Yes, I get they are rising 7th graders.

Scott does a phenomenal job and has great relationship with coaches. M&D isn't going anywhere. SW has always done a little better in terms of getting their girls to top schools however. They will stay 1 and 1a. That's not changing just because Chris went to FL. He's been there several years now and girls are still coming to M&D. It's happening right now with the 26s as they're about to head to HS.

Incorrect. All of Heros 22 is not going D1. The team is not 100% recruited. Only SW is.

To be clear, all had D1 offers. 2 girls are targeting NESCAC schools and havent committed.

My God, these girls are going into 8th grade and people are worried about getting committed to college. Wow.

Well you have to think some peoples older kids were committed in 8th grade so it makes sense ..

And then decommitted by junior year. No coaches are looking at 8th graders.

True that the college coaches aren’t looking at 8th graders but smart to get with a club now who has great recruiting power. As the parent of a 2022 who has been through the process I can assure you that the recruiting director- college coach relationships do play a significant factor in who gets recruited where. We are not from one of the top DMV clubs and my daughter’s team has always played A bracket at tournaments. She also has an excellent lacrosse resume but recruiting was a struggle - especially w Covid. Knowing what I know now I would’ve chosen a different club for her back in 8th grade. She ended up committing to a great D1 program but she could’ve gone even higher had she been with a top program. Many of her teammates eventually found great homes too but they also could’ve gone higher with the right club.

According to Sports Recruits here is a recruiting comparison between Skywalkers and M&D for the current 2022 recruiting class.

Players going to schools ranked in the top 5 on IWLCA' s final poll:
M&D 22 has 3 players going to top 5 schools (Two BC, and one UNC)
Skywalkers 22 has zero players going to top five schools

Players going to schools ranked in the top 10 in IWLCA's final poll:
M&D has 8 players going to top 10 ranked schools (1 Duke, 1 Florida, 3 UMD, 2 BC, 1 UNC)
Skywalkers has 3 players going to top 10 ranked schools: (2 Notre Dame, 1 Duke)

Players going to Top 25 schools in IWLCA final poll:
M&D has 14 girls going to top 25 schools
Skywalkers has 11 girls going to top 25 schools

Total recruits committed in the 2022 class:
M&D has 29 girls currently committed
Skywalkers has 22 girls currently committed

If stalking SR for the number of top 10 D1 recruits a team has is your behavior now when they are rising 8th graders, you are doomed. Really doomed. Why don’t you worry about your own daughter and what’s best for her, not what’s best for you.

"SW is the best club in the area in terms of getting their girls recruited. And I'm the parent of a former M&D player that is going to a high end D1 school."

I simply saw this quote, and the subsequent discussion and was curious as to how accurate it was. I simply did a Google search for Skywalkers lacrosse recruits, and then another search for M&D lacrosse recruits and then posted the results. Below are the links to the Google search.

You don't have to stalk anyone to find this information. Bottom line the results of the search are both Skywalkers and M&D are great clubs in producing college prospects. Kudos to the coaches and players in both organizations.

Of course there are years where the statement doesn't hold true. But overall SW has definitely done a little better. As I said they're close, 1 and 1a. SW is the original club team around here and have outstanding contacts. M&D has always had a connection with MD. College coaches love how SW girls play. They are very aggressive and ready for the physicality of the college game. Like I said, my daughter played for M&D and did fine. But I don't think there's a huge argument on this from most. Now I would have never let my daughter play for MM so I'm not advocating for that either, just making a comment on recruiting.

Here’s a thought…great, commit to a top school but who says those girls will ever see the field. Some of those girls have been told out right that they won’t play. So what matters more-saying you are going to the top 10 school or playing, if they really love the sport, they want to be on the field, not just part of their practice squad. What does your daughter want?

Top 5 or 10 means nothing when you ride a bench for 4 years while not getting a dime of athletic money. But you can play dress up with all the official team swag, so there’s that. For some, that is what it has been about all along.

People. Get a grip. Little sally is in seventh grade!!!

Very true! One of the M&D22 top 5 commits has to wait and enter with the 23 class (gap year), isn’t getting any money and will never see the field. But hey, she gets to play dress up and look cool on signing day. Parent ego at its finest!

hey WHERE HAS ALL THE HEROS WHITE HOOPLA GONE?
the bubble was burst and just like that kaboom!!! funny to read all the previous comments about white being the best team but now less than a month later everything has changed

so now green 26 takes a few good players off white and the rest of the white team implodes and really it is very simple becuz white was never going to be green
really it was always about the white goalie she was the difference maker and probably on green next season
we will see in the coming weeks what heros green and other A level lacrosse teams think of player fallout when tryouts are completed and see who makes what team or not

Why are you so obsessed with who goes in and off of Hero’s white. If it doesn’t pertain to you why do you care so much

Some of the recruitment process is NOT related to talent. Of course, that's a large part of it. But the program has to prepare girls to have the right attitude and work ethic. These girls that think they are the best thing since sliced bread (fed by their programs coaches and leaders, and their parents) are going to find themselves at the back end of the recruiting line. This is why I think SW does well. They work with the girls from the start focusing on team, attitude and similarly work with the parents about a good "approach" to being a parent of a high level athlete. That's why many D1 coaches look at SW players, because they know they are getting the entire package, a talented athlete with the attitude that they are part of a unit, not just a superstar.

What about the games they play that not every player gets on the field to be seen ?

White still is the best team. Just look at the Green record over the last month. Enough said, it’s not fourth grade anymore.

Seems odd that players already have spots without tryouts. What BS. Once again Tierney making the rules as she goes for Green. Don’t be without a chair when the music stops. Go to another program. Heroes yet again proves why they can’t be #1 when it counts (Recruiting Years) they eat their own rather than build a program.

so now green 26 takes a few good players off white and the rest of the white team implodes and really it is very simple becuz white was never going to be green
really it was always about the white goalie she was the difference maker and probably on green next season
we will see in the coming weeks what heros green and other A level lacrosse teams think of player fallout when tryouts are completed and see who makes what team or not

So girls from Hero's White were given a roster spot with Hero's Green without going through the tryout process?

Seems odd that players already have spots without tryouts. What BS. Once again Tierney making the rules as she goes for Green. Don’t be without a chair when the music stops. Go to another program. Heroes yet again proves why they can’t be #1 when it counts (Recruiting Years) they eat their own rather than build a program.

If girls are white have been moved to green, they have basically been trying out all season. They know if you should be moved or not, no need to wait for official tryouts

Then why hold tryouts?

I watched Heros White LOSE to M and D black at the one tourney. What I did watch and was disgusted by the players and their parents. M and D and the YJ were in the finals. Heros white team sat on the sidelines and cheered for YJ. Watched that team yell at M and D players and berate them. Unreal. So yes all these comments about Heros being a toxic club saw it first hand. Sad thing about all this is these girls will at one time or another be in school together and play lax together. Then again it stems from their classless parents and trickles down to the kids.

100% agree - I have first hand watched awe behavior by the parents, players & even the coaches from an older Hero's team. I would dread my daughter ever playing against them - for that reason ONLY.

I watched the Green/White game at the NGLL finals and there was a single dad that was embarrassing the entire Heros program with his mouth and behavior. Why he has not been booted or at a minimum told to shut up is beyond me.

Because that dad (Randal) has been in the program for years with other older girls and the club have grown to tolerate Randal. A blow-hard wanna-be living through his daughters. SAD, but Heros tolerate him and have for years

Green already recruited who they want. If you’re looking to joining another club, go to SW, MnD, Coppermine.

It's a tough decision. Unfortunately, getting a spot on an "A" team means knowing someone or getting seen before actual tryouts. Or starting on that team EARLY on. It happens with a lot of the "A" teams - M&D, TLC, etc.

Trust me with MG in charge of M&D 2026 she will be looking for better talent for the next couple years. She brought 3 new girls into the 2021 team summer after 9th grade.

Just ask the 22 Hero’s Green Coach why his 23 stepdaughter switched to M&D 23 Black. That tells you everything you need to know about the recruiting!

The fact that there are multiple Hero's coaches with other daughters on M&D is... interesting to say the least.

He is awful, loud and his comments are hurtful to the girls and parents. He is toxic and spills his negative comments to all who will listen. The coaches and parents tolerate him and not ONE will stand up to him. It’s a shame his wife won’t tell him to be quiet but she stands there and belittles the girls as well. So they are in hindsight a perfect pair.

No, 99% of the venom spewed on this site isn’t true. It’s easy to be bold and talk trash when you can post anonymously. If these people’s kids could read this, they would be embarrassed. I’m sure that this post will get railed on by Anonymous, the all knowing Authority of 7th girls lacrosse.

I wish all your daughters good luck and stay healthy.

It may be considering heros girls skipped their own practice tonight for M&D practice.

I would think if that is happening, then that player is not of the same talent level as the other players who are getting most of all of the playing time. Coaches and clubs want to win and they aren't out to "get" a player by not playing their strongest athletes. If a player isn't getting much time, its either an ability / talent issue, attitude issue or commitment issue (missing games or practices etc...). I don't have a daughter in this age group so having said that I am not familiar with the specifics for this age group. But I think the situation I outlined is probably true at all of the top programs. The good news is there are other teams to go to, just make sure that the young lady is trying out for a team that is talent/athletic appropriate and that her commitment level matches that of the team. I never think its wrong to be on a clubs second team if your child isn't quite as athletic or naturally aggressive. (maybe its good to be one of the stronger players on a new team) or if your daughter hasn't decided their level of commitment matches that of a high level club team. Its about confidence and happiness for your daughter.

Are you not following the thread? White in reference to Heros White. The team that has a green and white team. The white team that their parents insist is the best team around. Not sure how you didn’t pick up on that.

White or Green, doesn’t matter at Heros. Both are equally as talented. Ask CR how many heros girls have come to M&D over the years. And then ask TA how many M&D players have moved to Heros. Like someone said, when heros coaches are pulling their own kids and putting them at M&D….

The fact that these 2 teams play for the same Club-but clearly there is so much hostility towards one another is enough to not want to play for that Club at all.

White is good, white will also be losing players to green and black this year. Already happening.

Not sure whats worse, making up stories about a guy and bringing his wife into it or doing all of that under an "Anonymous" name. What a coward.
Isn't that against board policy?

Not anymore. They're already scattering. Will be interesting what will happen with the girls that end up being cut from M&D due to the influx of players coming to tryouts from other teams. Hope parents are being realistic and making sure their daughter has an option if she's on the bubble. Going to be a lot of changes.

After green , black and blue what is option number 4 now ? Doesn’t sound like heros white will be it.

M&D red? Hoco ? Coppermine ?

That's pretty lofty assuming White will lose that many girls where Red would over take them considering they are starting from zero.

At least 10 girls (goalie included) with Heros bookbags were at SW practice this evening.

Is there even going to be a White team? Rumor has it they don't even have coaches anymore. After their 4-5 call ups to Green from White, including the coach, it seems like they are all scattering to M&D, Skywalkers and Hoco.

Posting about it is not the problem, the fact that they are there is the problem. I feel bad for the SW players who will now be extra on edge heading into tryouts as half of another club's team just showed up at their practice.

Why even bother with tryouts this year? These teams are going to be set for next season before the week is out at this rate.

That’s just how it goes esp with SW.
You are always replaceable-whether it be Hero’s or California (SW really likes that).
They have every right to do that. At this age and for your age group next year be prepared for lots of movement with girls coming in and the out ones going to clubs like Coppermine or TLC. Never feel entitlement with SW.

Actually, that won't be too much of a problem at SW Blue because this age group for the blue team was a small squad. I believe i saw them at the last tournament and I they had like one sub. So, although a few girls may go to SW White, there is actually a good bit of room at SW Blue for additional talented players without affecting a mass group of the current players.

There is room everywhere for additional talented players! M&D, Heros, SWs everyone has room for additional talented players.
The issue is will the programs cut the weak players that have been there too long or have family ties. Some programs just can't seem to cut out the cancer.

Hero’s White has a coach. She coached at Stevenson University and currently coaches high school.

Speaking from experience, club comes second to high school/college teams during spring season.

Mount Carmel not known as a power house program. Plus it’s quite far from the typical Heros practice locations in HoCo. Going to be a challenge for the coach to balance her obligations to her HS team and the distant club team.

Sounding like nobody wants to stay.

Not true . Getting a spot on A team either requires knowing someone or being insanely good ( fast , good stickwork ) and better than the girls whose moms and dads are friends with coach . You can get on by being an amazing athlete.

You obviously don't know MG. There's going to be a lot of turnover on the M&D team which is unfortunate for the girls that have been there for a few years but it's just the way things work in high level club sports. She's going to take girls that will both help the team win and that she feels she can develop into a cohesive unit.

The high school aged club teams at SW and M&D always change drastically with new players.

That is the way it should be.

Ok, can someone explain why their is so many references to MG on this blog for M&D and not much discussion around who is listed as the head coach of that team on the M&D website? Having read through this blog there is a lot of reverence for MG and how she is going to change everything but she is one of two assistant coaches right? Shouldn’t their be more talk about the head coach KL? Just trying to understand that situation.

Omg club lacrosse is supposed to be the best . If Skywalkers players are on edge then they clearly aren’t confident in their abilities . Competition never killed anybody and posting from practice means you the parent are the scared that your kid may be cut.

MG is a local well regarded Hs coach. She was an assistant with this team, knows the players and will have major say over who stays and goes.

She was assistant but was the head coach in terms of on field direction.

Good Luck with tryouts for Heros the Green team is already set by the mom coach . They are obliterating the white team . Four best players and the dad coach moving to Green . They are completely rebuilding the white team . Good Luck in the future to your daughters .

Hero's Green and Hero's White are imploding!!

15 Heros White girls at SW practice! darn!!

Who cares? Why is everyone making such a big deal about 10 or so Heros white and green girls trying out different clubs? I’m sure there are girls from other clubs going to tryouts or is everyone else just staying put?

Spoken like a Heros President or parent. All the noise is for a reason. Your program needs an enema.

I’m not part of Hero’s, I’m actually asking a question because I don’t understand why anyone cares.

It is very important for the Lacrosse Cabal to destroy the White team. You can't have the White/B team running around beating the best teams/clubs in the country. It disrupts the lacrosse ecosystem. The trolls are in full force online to promote chaos and disinformation to make everyone panic. My D is not of this year, but I can sense dark forces at work.

I’m confused why the Heros white girls can go to all these practices as their tryouts, yet the teams have set tryout dates and are expected to make them all. Really isn’t fair to the girls on the teams. But apparently Heros white dictates the lax world.

You must be getting everything your daughter wants sometimes kids get screwed over by thc clubs we pay a lot of money for this then get screwed by bs coaching changes at the last minute wake up CR & TA

Yep. Totally. A bunch of good White team players making the Heros Green team and making the best team in the age group better = imploding. If white team parents can’t handle it, their kids can work hard to get better or dominate other clubs like they’ve been doing. What’s the big deal

The next few weeks will be interesting. Lots of hurt feelings and angry parents. This site should be a blast to monitor and see it unfold.

So I am confused. Four Hero's white players were invited to join the Green team already? If that is true Hero's may as well abolish their tryouts in the future.

Is this really true? Four Hero's white players were invited to join the Green team already? If that is true Hero's may as well abolish their tryouts in the future. What is the point of tryouts?

Maybe these players were told they may be added to the Green team after tryouts in an effort to keep them with the club.

Wouldn't be the first time. DD has a teammate who was told this very thing from Hero's - then it didn't happen. So she left the next year.

Thanks Randall Stay Woke!

Why would a parent decide to accept an "offer" to move up ? If a club thought your daughter was talented enough then why did you need threaten to leave before they offer to move her up? And if they do move her up under the threat of you taking her out of the program, is she really going to get any playing time? Sounds like a bad all around situation for the girls.

They didn’t threaten to leave.

Look at the rankings. Pretty clean why players from certain clubs get preferential treatment.

Not really, SW has a policy of allowing players to check out their club practices. It’s not just for HW players and it doesn’t mean they are getting offers. It’s more of a let’s get to know each other situation to see if you want to come to tryouts. More open than M&D that’s for sure.

Look at the rankings. Pretty clean why players from certain clubs get preferential treatment.

If Heros white is a B team then why would M and D take these girls. A team that is listed as a B team is a B team. A bunch of parents embellishing their daughters team and athletic abilities. So M and D is seeking sloppy seconds? I guess the next season will be interesting. Oh and don’t come at me with look at their record… still a B team and that’s all they will ever be.

This is a silly comment. With in Hero’s they may have been the “B” team but they were still better than everyone else’s A team. Going to be a lot of hurt egos when Sally gets moved to the B team at a lot of clubs. Poor parents.

If they are just a B team come play them. Your post is just mean spirited and hopefully it makes you feel better. The record speaks for itself and it’s not the girls fault that the Green team won’t give the girls a shot to move up. Has never happened and won’t happen.

The team can be a B team, doesn’t mean their players are B players. You’re smarter than that, I just know it. Or at least I hope.

OK Pops. “Sloppy seconds” is not really the description of a group of athletes who belonged on the A team from the beginning. Their B team has probably walked all over your A team, considering they can beat most, including Green and my daughter’s M&D Black team, as they have proved. Not sure why you have so much anger other than the fact your child must not have been chosen for M&D and it’s eating at your that they want White players.

Where does it state they are a B team? White automatically makes it B? This is the problem with clubs that have 2 teams-you ASSUME the 2nd is worst then the 1st, in this case (along w/ some of their other age groups) is not the case! Chill

Thanks for you standing up for the girls the fact that the white team beat the green team was a game changer . The whole 26 bracket will shake up as all get better, baffling why Heros wouldn’t preserve two high caliber a teams and dominate the 26 I guess the A team coach and TA did not like it . So the white team will fill spots on other clubs . Heros should be interesting when the White players move to green and upset the green parents when sally loses playing Time . Take care of your kids !!! ADULTS at play 😂

Calling a group of 13 year old “sloppy seconds”?!? You have serious problems. I feel bad for your daughter.

You are obsessed with Randall . It’s pretty sick. You may need professional help to stop obsessing over someone who isn’t thinking about you.

Just saw on tourney machine that Heros white lost it’s 3rd game in past two tournaments. They’re #1 player has been injured. She has been carrying the team for past year. Without her they are a great B team.

No different than HG, who lost three between live love lax and lax for the cure…seems like HG is a great B team too!

Helmet bulldozer attack wasn’t the difference maker for White. The goalie was But let’s keep it real. White won in a shortened game against a depleted green team and then proceed to think they’re the best. Illusions of Grandeur.

You all really need to get over “white” & “green”-it’s really ok if they are both great teams. Obviously it’s the”green” parents issue - why is it so horrible for you that the “white” be just as good?????

The have a destroyed the white team new coaches new players stacking there green team for the future . Why wouldn’t it be good for 2 A Teams . What happend to Heros ,displacing 10 families on white all because white beat green . Losing great goalie not smart most clubs would love 2 A teams .displacing 1 coach and his daughter . How do you let that happen obviously nothing to see here keep moving . The A team is all set beware at tryouts . They are full .

I wouldn’t know this “Randall “ if you didn’t always bring his darn name up. No one should be talking about kids and I don’t stand for that but if you want to bring peoples names up be man enough to sign your name ... address the person and not a public forum that people actually use to get information from.

We have a Randall sighting!!! Randall, are you upset? Oh that is unfortunate. The few comments that is being said about you does not Compare of the nonsense you have been doing for years. At the next game we can leave you a box of tissues for you.

BTW Randall is a parent NOT a child. Even though he acts like a toddler on the sidelines. Parents have addressed Randall in person and he doesn’t care what you have to say. So go ahead Karen, go and comfort Randall and tell him how wonderful he is. Parents and kids are tired of him being a bully on and off the field.

For white, Goals against has remained consistent. It’s the goals scored that dropped off due to injured. Club coaches don’t work on development of whole team. Coach looks great as long as star scores and they can get the W.

Now 4 loses. Ignore the hype!

You mean on to M&D tryouts?

Maybe you could just stop and think for a minute. The girls are thirteen and are hurting from what is happening to the team that they have built. For them it was never about the wins, it was about playing a game they love with people that have become like family to them. I get that poking at other adults can be fun, but the girls see this and it’s making a bad situation worse. Can everyone just stop and think about what you would do if someone said the trash talk directly to you kid’s face? You would go nuts, as you should. Let’s find some strength to grow up and knock it off.

What happened to the all star White team this past weekend? Losing twice? This whole thread makes the Heros program look like a circus.

They don’t need the thread for that.

Looks like some increasing cases here as Covid has officially taken out the green and white teams. Both Heros teams choke this week......

White lost in OT to Pride, the winner of the tourney. Went 4-1.

You mean 3-1 with 3 expected wins? At least that's an improvement over the previous tourney. Give them credit for keeping things together enough to win those three games.

It is going to be interesting to see how they do this weekend with a few invites to M&D Black and several to M&D Red hanging over their heads. Same with H Green, the current M&D team and even Skywalkers. It will be a sh*tsh0w for all the top girls at this weekends tourney with M&D tryouts completed and invites possibly going out before the tournament.

Yep…spoken like a true Heros parent. Who cares you lost in OT. I am shocked excuses about limited number of players, heat, or ref bad calls did not get posted. It’s a LOSS. The thought of Heros White being a top team is finished.

It is pretty well known White team is done in its current form, but there is no denying they are a top 4 team with Green, Pride and YJ. They all play exciting good lacrosse games to watch and girls respect each other more than most parents realize. Saw girls consoling other teams yesterday after loses. Girls left it all on 100 degree turf yesterday and they all appreciated the competition. Teams will look different next year but competition will live on.

M&D will take be in the fold with MG and influx of new players from other clubs. Once the teams are set, it will take a bit but White will go into the B bracket moving forward.

Going to be a lot of competition for spots. There were a ton of girls at tryouts.

Question regarding the recent Junior National Championships this past week. I noticed many of the bigger clubs (M&D for example) were not there. There was an age requirement which stated players needed to be born after 9/1 to be eligible to play with their club team. Players born prior to 9/1 would have to play with their older club team if this makes sense. It begs the question, were some teams not entered because their rosters contained too many girls born prior to 9/1. I realize this gets into "reclassification" territory, but one of the parents brought this up at the tournament and I thought it was interesting.

This tournament is normally at the end of July after most teams are done for the summer. And it was mid-week this year, not opportune for families.

If you want to talk age, I recommend going to the north east thread. This topic has been exhausted for years.

Besides M&D and Aces who travel a lot already this season who was not there?

M&D and SW haven't played in that tournament in a long time. It's in mid july. It used to be weeks after the typical club tournaments ended. There's typically far less competition there than a normal weekend tournament. M&D and SW would have no issue entering an on age team at any of those levels. The holdback myth constantly floated by LI parents/coaches isn't a real thing with girls. Sure there are a few here or there that may have July or August birthdays, but girls aren't repeating grades for athletic purposes the way the boys at MIAA schools do.

So how many times do the LIYJ need to beat HG to move into the top spot of the US club lax rankings? Seems a little weird they beat them in the last two tournaments but are still ranked lower.

My daughter’s M&D team has more holdbacks than my son’s team. They would not have been able to participate without having to leave players home.

People, get a grip! It's 8th grade girls lacrosse. Reading this garbage is hilarious. Good luck to all the girls as they will end up on the teams that they belong on in the end.

Sloppy seconds because a child hasn’t peaked at 12/13? You must be one of the many green parents who hasn’t left the area or achieved much and is living through a child because your life is pathetic.

M&D tryouts saw green players last night. It will be Red or back to Heros for them based on groupings during the tryout.

Most of them are also heading over to Skywalkers tryouts. Next year the same thing will happen and movement will happen again. However it’s great to see everyone trying out for different clubs.

Not sure what your issue is but there were girls from HG at M&D tryouts that were only offered spots on red. Half the M&D team will be new. Girls from all over. MG had the draw they were hoping for. 85 girls at tryouts.

That HOCO goalie that showed up on Thursday. I have always thought she was an excellent goalie and she performed really well. I am hoping she makes Black and gives the White goalie some competition. Because those two girls together will be a great duo.

Look at the amount of games played last year. Heroes had 44 games… where YJ Manning had maybe 12? Covid played a big role but those rankings will not budge much. The top 5, are a solid top 5.

In most other sports and leagues when the number 2 team regularly beats the number 1 team they become the number 1 team. Guess that doesn’t apply here.

The rankings are formula based and not just about 2 teams going head-to-head. What about the teams beating YJ? Like Hero's White and Pride? That's why on the 25s YJ Spallina isn't even ranked because they have only played a few games in 2 years.

MnD back to being MnD, telling girls they made a or b mid tournament. Yikes!

No it’s not. Club jumping doesn’t work it. Usually caused by unhappy parents trying to get more recognition for their daughter.

Well tryouts were this week. You expect them to not offer spots for 4-5 days? Trust me the girls that tried out would prefer to not be sitting around waiting that long. And they weren't offered spots mid tournament. Emails went out before the tournament started.

Yes and SR telling a parent on the team what girl made what team. Then his daughter telling girls on the team. Crushing a bunch of girls. Thank goodness games were cancelled today. Talk about classless souls.

Green players there already got cut from Green.

Not sure what emails you are talking about. The girls on the black 26 team were told today at the tournament what team they were being placed on. Each girl one by one was called over and told either black or red. So no email all done face to face. Great day for some, sad day for others.

yes, m&d red will be good soon. great coaches. could be a top 8 maryland team still, even in the "b" division, depending on acceptances. it makes more sense for former heros green/white and m&d black girls to go to m&d red rather than try to make skywalkers blue. skywalkers is a good program, but the edmonsons are better coaches and why not close the door to possibly move up to m&d black the next few years.

What’s your point .

^^^
Worst advice ever . No one should ever take m and d red over Skywalkers blue. Anyone who believes that is insane . SW maybe won’t be that strong now but they will catch up. It’s inevitable. So the Edmonsons can keep their red team ... when it’s all said and done it’s still not top team.

You think you will be the exception but M&D red player RARELY move up to Black. They will make you believe that you have a chance so you will continue to pay the annual fees and eventually you will realize you will never move to black but by than you will not have any options at any other club too. You will have missed the window to switch clubs. Very few Red players get recruited to play in college. You are better off switching clubs and playing on an A team. And believe me, LE and TE will not make a difference. TE will not know how to coach when he isn’t running all plays through #6!

M & D is the second coming of lacrosse. I hope they will live up to all this hype.

Invites were sent out to girls from other teams. Players and parents were asked to keep it quiet until after the weekend. Parents failed to do so and word got out that invites had gone out. What else were they supposed to do? No playoffs now anyway. Part of club lacrosse. Everyone knew there were major changes coming to M&D 2026. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Well tryouts were this week. You expect them to not offer spots for 4-5 days? Trust me the girls that tried out would prefer to not be sitting around waiting that long. And they weren't offered spots mid tournament. Emails went out before the tournament started.

Not sure what emails you are talking about. The girls on the black 26 team were told today at the tournament
what team they were being placed on. Each girl one by one was called over and told either black or red. So no email all done face to face. Great day for some, sad day for others.

Says the dad who heard from SR and who’s daughter told the team over social media

No way parents were going to keep quiet anyway. Pipe dream.

That parent should suffer consequences. I have no dog in fight. Live in a different area.

It’s always ok when it happens to somebody else, wait till your daughter is the one going to the B team behind the bleachers.

I have no skin in the game, just find in fascinating how people don’t see how easily it can turn on them!

Was standing at the Pride tent and saw the girls going in and out one by one. My heart hurt for the girls who were moved down. Some were crying and others you could tell by their shock of disbelief. Unreal how shallow Robinson and his staff coaches really are. Doing it privacy is one thing but when you have the Heros parents and players hovering over the team and your own teammates…. A better place or time could have facilitated. To the girls who got cut from both teams and to the girls who got moved down… you will do great things in life, this is a life lesson and don’t let any of this derail your confidence.

i have no skin in this either....but that is just terrible. life lesson? idk about that

It is all about winning. Don't fool yourself, its not about player development. It happens on every team not just M & D, Heros, YJ, and others. Parents will complain to the directors until changes are made. The girls are left in the wake. All these girls are working the butts off and playing to the best of their ability. I guess this is a life lesson but to have this done to 13 year old girls is terrible.

As an outsider (DMV parent), this is definitely not a good look for M&D. The Heros green/white saga also doesn't bode well but it's disappointing to see all of this in what we here in the DMV area consider the "gold" standard of clubs. Obviously the truth isn't all told on a message board here but it definitely doesn't put anything in a good light. I hope they see their mistakes and learn from this to fix how situations like this are handled in the future.

Downright horrible the way the 2026 M&D coaches handled informing the girls. All time low on the depth chart. Despicable.

The coach of the year at St Paul’s, her side kick assistant coach and Robinson lurking in the back ground. Started pouring down rain and moved the girls to underneath the bleachers. None of the coaches seemed to back an eye as long as they had it done by the end of Saturday they were just checking off the boxes. Talk about having no heart or souls. Watched the entire thing happen. My heart was heavy for those girls.

If I am reading this right it sounds like the coaches took the time to communicate with the girls in person. If that is accurate, I think that is a good thing. The old school way of posting a list and not communicating with the players is what is gutless. It makes you wonder if the parents complaining about this are the same ones that went on here complaining about their former coach. There is no easy way to tell an athlete they didn't make a team. Watch HBO"s Hard Knocks when an NFL coach has to tell a player they didn't make a team. The coaches say it is the most difficult thing they have to do.

They are teachers in their day jobs, really shameful, would never want one of these clowns around my kids.

The power trip of the “side kick assistant” as you put it is amazing. Every girl on the team, black,red or cut has done more in their lacrosse career than she has.

It’s was basically in public!

Are you comparing professional NFL players with 13 year old girls?

100% this. The issue was that word had gotten out because parents couldn't keep things quiet until after the weekend. Since word was spreading the coaches and SR decided they owed the girls in person communication on why things worked out the way they did. It's pretty surprising that you think a better solution would just be to post the new roster on the M&D website today. Yes girls were upset. But at least they were told why it happened and received feedback from the coaches.

This is a false narrative. Not all the girls work their butts off. Many parents think their kids are working hard until they realize the work that other kids are putting in.

Would a better decision have been to just ignore the situation all weekend while gossip spread around the team about who made it and who didn't? I don't think so. The coaches and SR did the responsible thing and talked to the girls one on one. Now whether or not tryouts should have been before the last tournament is another question.

The last time I checked this was a still a game. No wonder so many girls quit and end up detesting the sport by the end of high school.

Barely beat PA Express, tied LI Liberty at the last minute and tied BBL Elite. All plays still seem to be going through his daughter even though there were better options available some times. 6 is still very predictable and you could see how defenders have caught on. I'm sure many of those families are happy to be finished with club lacrosse and all of his garbage.

I am sure they are fine. I have heard many stories that supported the overdue coaching change. And some parents were already saying that if their daughters did not make black this summer, it was mostly because of him. Those girls were never tested at tryouts before this year since not many top tier players wanted to play for him (or he rejected players, like the one that wanted to be the full time goalie). If you are implying that they wish he had stayed as coach so their daughters could stay on black but continue to ride that roller coaster and not develop as a player, then you are delusional.

Your last sentence is the core issue. It is alway a race between the clubs to hold tryouts first. Having tryouts before the last tournament (or Heros telling girls on White that they are getting moved up to Green) is ridiculous. Even if the girls do not find out the results until the tournament is over, they are still a wreck from the week of tryouts. M&D broke them up into A and B groups at tryouts! And did the black team even practice before their last tournament together? I heard offers were made to girls from outside clubs before the weekend, and is that fair to the current players?

As others have stated, a face-to-face conversation with the player sounds better to me as opposed to a posting on a website and even a phone call to the parent. But to do it in public like that is rough. It sounds like they could have moved to a better area. It looks like that team still did well on Sunday. Only two games though...

What you don’t relize that girls are all committed and done they want to go to the beach !!!

100%

That attitude won't serve them well on their college team. Plus most 2022 teams are done with recruiting for the girls who want to continue to play in college.The competition still put in the effort to win. When you play as a team and for your teammates, it doesn't matter if you are heading to the beach after the tournament. You play hard for your team and you win. I think this shows the real core problem of that team. They have been slipping the past couple of years. Everyone plays for themselves.

100% this. The issue was that word had gotten out because parents couldn't keep things quiet until after the weekend.

M&D should NEVER have held tryouts before the season is over. This is the root cause of all these issues. Their tryouts used to be in August - then right after midatlantic - now before Midatlantic. It’s despicable

They’re so worried about snagging players and getting new red teams that they’ve created this fiasco of heartbreak and embarrassment for kids going from 10th grade down to 4th grade

It’s Despicable

So you'd have been ok with half the team being cut by seeing they weren't listed when the roster was posted or by their parents getting a phone call? Boys club teams do the same. Crabs had tryouts last week before they went to UMass for National Championships. It is what it is. If you haven't realized how cut throat club lacrosse is yet I guess you found out this week. Heros offered spots on green weeks ago. Was that despicable as well? You really think SW hasn't already offered spots to girls? Welcome to high level club lacrosse.

So looks like 2 HG and 2 HW on the M&D Black roster? And 1 HG and 7 HW on M&D Red roster? Ouch

Both points are incorrect. The 22 black team is not all committed. There were also players on the team who wanted to be there to play in their last tournament together. It was very clear in the first game a couple of players had no desire to be there and it ruined the rest of the day for the players who did, and for the players who still had coaches watching.

Three on Green, Two on Black, Three on Pride, and a few on SW.
And still the only team to beat Aces, YJ, and Green on the same day.

If you had been paying attention though you would realize that people were talking about M&D tryouts and 2021/22 rosters. The forever 2022 M&D AC and role model for all that is wrong with parent coaches is the AC for the 2026 M&D Red team. And his older daughter will be the HC so there is relevance here.

Seriously. The Aces team is the same way now. Getting good results with a difference-maker in net and an offense that only relies on 2 or 3 girls. Put a goalie like that on SW Blue this past year and they would have won a tournament too.

Omg goalie talk…you happy now that your poor child is living your dream?

No relevance to this thread since the 22 team is done and the 26 red team coaches don’t have a kid on the team. You are the role model for what is wrong in the lax world. Coward parent that bashes a dad and his daughter anonymously on this forum.

Just ask their parents.

Who cares can’t imagine how much time you put in doing your research. Hope they all grow and have fun 🤩

also looks like there is a white 2025 hold back on the new 2026 black roster? what is up with that, a hold back year going into 8th grade - really?? hopefully she was playing up all along. at least green's hold back occurred years ago.

Will be very interesting how many actually accept the spot on 26 Red (same can be said for the 27 Red team).

Totally agree! Disgraceful to do that to girls that age. Or, to any age for that matter! Much better ways that could have been handled. Classless

They are teachers in their day jobs, really shameful, would never want one of these clowns around my kids.

For all of the M&D parents who had an issue with “the nice guy” coach, how do you feel now?

I think the majority of you all who have a problem with a coach telling a kid they are being moved down or cut don’t need to have your kids play CLUB sports! They will have to deal with not making a team and other rejections in their lives. It’s a part of sports and life. Just have your kids play Rec and stop complaining about every coach and every team .

If you had been paying attention though you would realize that people were talking about M&D tryouts and 2021/22 rosters. The forever 2022 M&D AC and role model for all that is wrong with parent coaches is the AC for the 2026 M&D Red team. And his older daughter will be the HC so there is relevance here.

No relevance to this thread since the 22 team is done and the 26 red team coaches don’t have a kid on the team. You are the role model for what is wrong in the lax world. Coward parent that bashes a dad and his daughter anonymously on this forum.

Kind of curious why someone would have an ax to grind with the new coach. Who could that be?

No ax to grind says the 22 parent trolling a 26 page. Who could that be?

I heard they will make tee shirts!

Nope. True holdback.

How many of these 26 M&D Black players will end up at SPSG either this coming year for 8th grade or the following as freshman?

All of them. It’s what you want to hear

How many girls at skywalkers tryouts last night?

How many rostered girls from other clubs were there?

Hang on people, tryouts are almost over and everyone can move on.

Save up since you need to be ready to pay to play at SPSG.

A few from red.

25 and younger Red teams definitely will be changing over the coming days with how other tryouts end up going.

It would be interesting to see which teams got better, worse or stayed the same.

From what I’ve heard (small world). Basically teams that net gained players were up, net lost were down and I didn’t have info on some.

Up: Black, Green, Blue, Pride, Integrity, Red (didn’t exist), Coppermine (educated guess, could be wrong)

Even/Don’t know: TLC, Hoco, Stars, Redahirts, NEMS, FCA

Down: White, MD United, LBC

There are lots of soft landing spots for all of the girls regardless of situation.

Limited aid for athletes and hefty tuition

LBC will be fine with a new coach at the helm. Tryouts are tonight and Wednesday

Curious to hear how Pride is up/gained? They just had a mass exodus at the 25 level and the freefall is extending to other years now.

That is true. There is no aid for athletes. Everything is need based.

But the post said be ready to pay to play which insinuates something completely different than paying a high tuition to attend the school.

I heard MDU had some strong players return, that team always does well and is such a great club all around! I would definitely not say they are down!!!

Was not there, heard they had limited numbers and know they lost their number 1 player to Black. That’s a big loss, but opportunity for others to shine.

Seems like the point was just that you actually need to pay vs other miaa schools that have booster funded spots.

Yes, it looks like 3 players from MDU are on Black's roster, including the player who took every draw and might have scored every goal in one game I watched this summer. Also with one Coppermine and one Pride on Black's roster, you have to assume those players were in the top 3 players on those teams.

Pay attention? Oh I have been paying attention. Listen up buttercup you are part of the problem, learn some manners to start. Second you need to keep your tone in check. Also I bet you talk to your daughter like she is toddler and then in return talks to her teammates like they are dirt. If you are this bitter about the red coach then get off this forum and go tell him and her in person. Stop trying to prove you know it all because you don’t. Sorry your daughter didn’t live up to your hype.

Thanks K and B for your input. If I recall you only had 25 tryout for your 26 team. Took players that have never played club lacrosse. You both need to reevaluate what you have going on because as an outsider it’s NOT working.

SPSG offers partial scholarships including some full scholarships to "talented" students in addition to financial aide to those in need. I could be wrong but doubt very much their recent Championship team was comprised of 100% full paying tuition student athletes.

Karma or you reap what you sow…..

Tough sell on the Shore. Hard to get girls to drive East, not so hard to go west. If all the girls over there stayed that team would be great.

Two players on the team received a named scholarship that is given to one girl per class when they enter in 9th grade but there are no athletic requirements to it. There is no other financial aid other than need based. I have no idea what everyone's financial situation is. I'm sure many families receive some sort of aid but it's not in the form of scholarship other than the one named award. No team is comprised of 100% full tuition students. All private schools give some form of need based aid.

Unless you are willing to drive to MD there is really nowhere for a 26 Pride girl to go. Other DMV clubs are pretty weak, but Pride needs to change otherwise the 2025 bloodbath could repeat.

26 Pride girls looked very impressive to end the season and looked like they enjoyed playing together. There is a void from NOVA to Howard county/B'more beltway so Pride needs to keep girls or that gap will get bigger.

If you do not win the 1 named scholarship (as mentioned non-athletic based) or one of the 2 scholarships (roughly 8K) it is 100% needs/financial based. They may come back and find some aid for your daughter but nowhere close to what the other schools can offer.

Just my 2 cents.

My daughter has played against 26 Pride for several years, they have always been tough. Honestly kind of weird seeing girls go to and from there since they are so far away but I guess kids who live south of hoco could do either.

The challenge has been, and mention of the 25 Pride exodus related to, its very very new HS program. That “spooks” some going into HS years. Many have also raised more program wide concerns - not related to the 26 year - so while some seem happy, many are not. The program can also have a strong affiliation with one private HS which draws some to it, but may turn others off. What happens with the 26s going into HS will be interesting.

There is definitely a geographic gap they are working to fill, but most girls from the team are VA based and certain practice locations can be deep into VA.

DMV message boards have lots to say about Pride.

Between the newness of the Pride HS program and issues with the Director their top team 2025 is basically no more. Roughly 40-50% of the girls have gone to Capital or scattered to programs like MC Elite. That is why they withdrew from Mid Atlantic. Question is will the issues be resolved or will the 26 team follow suit?

26 just picked up a handful of parent problems with Heros white. Just wait and see

Three, but the bucket hat parent is the one to watch. Never happy, always complaining, blaming him others.

HW girls heading south to Pride? Interesting. Practice for Pride is in Great Falls so it is not that far away from MD. Should be interesting how this parent deals with the director of Pride. She is pretty tough and does not appreciate parents complaining especially about PT.

That move makes no sense at all. Why leave a better club in Heros for a much lesser club in Pride? Plus the Pride HS program is a disaster. Find it hard to believe 3 players from a top 5 club at the 26 level would move to a DMV club with no track record of HS recruiting.

If you have ever been a part of a toxic club atmosphere, you may understand better.

Sad to say but I feel like we’ve all been a part of that.

And Pride 25s are going through something similar to Hero's - 25s have been decimated with most leaving for Capital because of issues with director.

Hero’s 2025 seeing a lot of departures? Seemed like a top team in spring but something seemed off given recent results.

3 players to Black M and D and 3 players to M and D red.

No, the punctuation was missing so it looks confusing. They are saying the Pride 25 mess of girls leaving for Capital is a similar situation to what is happening with the Heros 26 teams.

Bucket hat parent? On a similar note, there is going to be a lot of Heros gear at area Goodwill stores. Hero's Dads sure love to rock their pre-teen/teenage club lacrosse gear!

Since Tyranny caused the implosion of HW, MDB will improve. Their biggest competition will be Heros Green which will also get better with the additions from white and cutting some others.

MD red will never be as good as Heros white was even with so many HW defectors. Top Heros white middie scorers will be on green. Dominate attack went to Pride.

Heros white will drop outta top 10 ranking. Heros green, MD black and YJ Manning will battle for top 3.

HW defectors to nova will be back north in HS

Can you predict this week’s lottery numbers too? If she was a dominant attack why didn’t green grab her?

Stop trashing the kid

Dominant arrack went to pride?? What a joke
More like mediocre attack, solid middie and tough defender went to pride. Dominant arrack is so funny. This ain’t wrestling

3 or 4 Hero's White players dropped off the MandD Red roster today. Were 3 of them the ones that went to Pride? Or did they get offers from Skywalkers? Skywalkers would make more sense. Why drive to VA to a program that is not remotely as good as SW for player development and recruiting? Agree it will be a surprise if they stay with Pride long-term.

Top attack did not go to Pride. There was more than one dominant attack on white and they stayed in MD.

Its funny, every player ended up on the team or level they deserved in the end. We will see over the next year how they will play. Hopefully the craziness that has been posting will die down, but I'm affraid that people will find something else to complain about. Good luck to the girls this fall!

Probably for most. What’s interesting is that the high performing teams got further away. So there is less competition team to team. In some ways it makes sense:
Practice with the best and win
In other ways it doesn’t:
Play less, less chance to lead.

I have no real opinion but it is interesting.

Yes, it is interesting.

My take is have your daughter play for the best team she can get playing time on. If she's on the bench for more than half the game, drop down to the team just below. It seems somewhat common sense, but parents have egos and want to see their kids on the best team regardless. I get they'll play with better girls at practice, but getting game experience is very important.

Once they get to HS and almost everything is a showcase everyone at M&D is required to play at least half the game so it's not really a concern at that point. The concern is how will she look playing against the quality of teams M&D plays. Again, the key is to be honest about how good your daughter actually is, and not how good you think or wish she was. Playing for the best team where she can compete and excel should be a priority.

By dropping down, do you mean the B team of that same organization, or a different "lower" club on the A team?

That is not the case at all. Not sure who gave you that information, but M&D in no way gives equal playing time in HS. This i know.

Well considering my daughter played for M&D it happened on her team. Was mandated by SR.

Tough defender, perhaps. but can’t clear the ball, Panics when doubled and turns the ball over.

When it comes to recruiting tourneys / showcases playing time is even but if it is a tournament final ... you play to win... I’ve been through this and it’s what happens . You play most games evenly and if you make it to the final ... you play your best .

They are either misinformed or didn’t make Skywalkers team. Pride is a good club with some good teams but should’ve went to Skywalkers. Silly move .Maybe bucket hat has bad judgement ?

Didn’t try out. Not everyone is as enamored with skywalkers as some on this board seem to be.

No name was given, vague post so nothing is wrong here. Unless you are being sensitive and thinking this person is talking about your kid. Thick skin my friend thick skin.

No because that description refers to about 90% of 8th grade defenders 😀

He is talking about a specific kid… relates to his post about three HW girls going to Pride that someone called him out on.

They made SW blue and went. End of story.

I get they'll play with better girls at practice, but getting game experience is very important.

Once they get to HS and almost everything is a showcase everyone at M&D is required to play at least half the game so it's not really a concern at that point. The concern is how will she look playing against the quality of teams M&D plays. Again, the key is to be honest about how good your daughter actually is, and not how good you think or wish she was. Playing for the best team where she can compete and excel should be a priority.

You are kidding yourself if you think equal playing time really happens at the high school level at M&D

Well considering my daughter played for M&D it happened on her team. Was mandated by SR.

When it comes to recruiting tourneys / showcases playing time is even but if it is a tournament final ... you play to win... I’ve been through this and it’s what happens . You play most games evenly and if you make it to the final ... you play your best .

Playing time is not even at M&D at the high school level in showcase events. Anyone saying otherwise is lying. Go on the high school forum and ask M&D parents. Multiple complaints to SR over the years about it yet he continued to sit on the sidelines and let it happen.

Oh this is correct. What I said was in showcase tournaments which once you get to HS are what the majority of the events end up being.

Everyone played 50% in showcases on the 2021 team. Originally she tried to go 50% of the weekend and parents went crazy and it was changed to 50% of every game.

Enamored is a strong word. I jus know that when it counts they become better and always produce solid lacrosse players which is the goal right? Who cares if sally wins lax for the cure in her 7th grade year... she herself needs to get better right? Make her high school team and maybe she wants to play in college? Also a plus .. no parent coaching and they help with recruiting .. I’m not a Skywalkers parent I just have seen how this works in the long run and that’s what should matter !

And that bitter fool and his attack daughter aren’t part of an MD team anymore…

Sally cares about having good coaching and learning the fundamentals in the current year. It’s not all about the club’s recruiting record in three years.

Sally developing means she is getting good coaching ... just because they aren’t winning now doesn’t mean they aren’t getting good coaching ... why don’t you go out there and coach Sally?

Wow you really are that dense .... Just leave the kids alone. It’s a simple rule . Grown ups shouldn’t bash kids.

Like I said, I'm not a fan of the skywalkers program maybe you are but I am not. I have never even heard of the coach.

I think the difference is that SW does develop the entire team, not a few of the star players (like other clubs who may likely have a parent coach). They always focus on a team environment... that is how to be a good team mate,a coachable player, attitude and work ethic. This is why their players are considered highly recruitable. Approach is more holistic, not as Sally superstar focused.

Sally’s daddy cares because he thinks that it means something ... foolish thinking

Did Heros and MD end up having full first and second teams with all the shifting around of players?

This is a joke right ? Moving kids mid year !not playing all the girls in games. People take it so they get the benefit of being in a top team. They have high level stars and low level fillers like every other club.

No team plays all players in a game if they are in a close game. They play their best players because they owe it to the other girls on the team to try to win. That's pretty much across the board except in high school recruiting years at a showcase. I have not seen a player moved mid year unless at the parent's request. Everyone just has to go where they think they have the best environment for their daughter and there are lots of teams out there no one mentions like Md United, TLC, NEMS etc... Take your child where you find the best fit and where she can actually play and be happy.

I don’t know what having a “parent coach” has to do with this. I don’t think parent coaches don’t approach things holistically or fail to encourage team play and ignore players with good attitudes. “Star players” (as you call them) may simply be working harder on their own time out of team practice AND may exhibit good attitudes and work ethic in practice. At this age I am not sure it is that complicated in that strong stick skills are critical and are the player’s responsibility (largely) on their own time. Practice should include aspects of individual development, but the “playing together” and lax iq are stronger components. There is only so much full team practice time each week. Of course coaches - parent or not - notice the girls who are likely working hard and consistently outside practice. I feel like this post begs the question of what you think is your daughter’s responsibility vs. the coaches. And being realistic that “star players” may actually be outworking others on the team.

We certainly agree that players who want to excel will do the "extra" work. Run for endurance, work stick skills etc... I think that often with a parent coach you see some favoritism of the parent's daughter and her friends or the friends of the parent. Certainly there are excellent parent coaches who do not do this. It is just a generalization. I was more responding to parents here who mentioned that on some teams, it appears all the plays run through a coaches daughter etc... And of course, we agree that there are aspects of skills for individual development. But there are differences in the team concept that you can clearly see on some teams in both the players and even in the parents on the sideline. I think we have clearly heard that through out this entire thread from many different comments. But every parent has to go where they think is best for their own child (and hopefully they consider what the child wants and is realistic about her ability to play at a specific level). There are so many options in this area so hopefully every young lady who wants to play can find a team that works for her.

my daughter played on one of the 21 teams. he has no credentials. he walked around like a coach but only kept stats. parents laughed, we called him “the bookkeeper”. call it desperate for coaches. one reason I moved my younger daughter out of skywalkers

I’ve had kids on teams with and without parent coaches. One was brutal and the kid played the same position as mine. It was obvious what would happen when there was a disproportionate pt doled to his on kid when largely everyone didn’t agree. In the end that coach got run out but not before my kid left.

A couple thoughts:
Blood is thicker than water - it never ends
No matter what it’s an issue with the parents

Every age group on this forum you have ignorant parents talking about young kids. It is really sad.

Hilarious what happened to Heros White. The parents thought the whole team was comprised of A level players but didn’t want to try out for Heros Green. Looks like only 5 kids from that team made an “A” level team. The 4 that went to Green amd the goalie that went to M&D black. All the rest left for other B teams. Way to let your pride get in the way.

Misinformed
5 to Heros Green
2 to M&D black
2 to Skywalkers
3 to Pride

What’s hilarious is you thinking you know what everyone was thinking and why some people decided to do something else. You may want to check your math because 11 went to other A teams…

I don’t think so. The only parent embarrassing themselves is you. Not once has a name been mentioned but yet here you are calling out all the parents on this forum and shaking your finger. Grow up. When a name is mentioned then yes it’s wrong. No names on this forum only you assuming and we all know what happens when we assume.

You people just have no clue. None. You better get a grip before high school starts, or you really won’t be able to cope.

You mean the unhappy parents and kid that have been to 5 different clubs in 3-4 years. All they do is Complain complain complain. MG asked the red coaches to do her a favor and take this unhappy family. So yes good luck M and D Red coaches, players and parents. They are never happy.

You sure about that? A lot of the drama is still on the Black, don’t be so over confident. You know have a variety of players and parents from other teams that have a reputation of being nasty and full of drama. Plus all parents still on there. I can’t wait to see how flustered you all get throughout the year, especially when your kid isn’t playing a ton. Drama is everywhere and M and D Black and Red gained it all back on their rosters.

Don't you know these parents take their kid to M&D because they are latest, greatest on M&D and they are going to dominate?

MoCo rec program that tried to have a (mixed age) club team made up of parents that bounced around different clubs. Went 1-6-1 in NGLL B according to tourney machine.

She won’t have a team, these parents are nuts!

MG and M & D Black is going to dominate the 26 old group. Heros Green is done, these girls peaked out in 6th grade and even adding the white players will not help. MG is the best coach out there and can't wait to watch them dominate everyone. All these girls got moved for a reason and all the smack talk from everyone else will be shut down in a few months. CR knows what he's doing.

You must be new to M&D. You should take a deep breath because you are going to be disappointed in the coming years when it turns out to be nothing like you expected.

It wasn’t long ago that HG parents were thought of as the most arrogant lot in the age group. Well, that tide is shifting now to M&D Black parents. Congratulations, this may be the only thing that the club wins this year.

It's not like Heros is winning anything with their implosion. Plus getting shelled all summer. Talk about arrogant parents, the Heros crew takes the prize there.

Implosion? White, yes. Green, no. Added players. Won NGLL, lost in championship of Lax by the Sea, Lost by 1 in playoffs at Lax 4 the Cure, 3-1 at Live Love Lax, 3-0 then lost to Yellow Jackets by 1 in playoffs at US Nationals, and finally 2-0 at Mid-Atlantic. But yeah, they got shelled all summer.

While I agree that MG is one of the best coaches around M&D is not going to dominate anything from 8th grade on. They will win most of their games but you will see as M&D teams get to high school other teams catch up with them and sometimes beat their teams and exceed their performance and the M&D parents go bonkers. I have watched it over and over at the high school level. It's happened with the 22,23,24,and 25's. It also happened with MG' 2021 black team. Those teams are still great teams but there's no more dominance. The 26's may have been delayed by the covid year and probably would've been stronger sooner but you will see the 2026's beginning next summer will have closer games and more losses. I have seen it over the last 5 years with my daughter's grad year and the years surrounding her.

I believe it is just something that happens as the girls age but M&D parents who are used to winning are left shell shocked and upset about it. So I would not count on dominating anything.

This isn’t all a bad thing. Some teams play more to win ans some work to get all their girls recruited. The goal should be to compete and find the best spot for all the girls. I know the parents go nuts after a loss but the college coaches don’t care who wins. They want to find good players.

Excuses? Where is there any excuse? You said they imploded. I pointed out how they did in all the tournaments. They didn't win any summer tournament. Oh well. They made the playoffs in all of them that had them. I don't put too much weight into those 20 minute playoff games...although I'm sure you do. But if it makes you happy to rip them, more power too you. I suspect that they will have a very successful fall/spring/summer coming up.

I said the 20 minute games. But hey, if this makes you feel better about your daughters team, great. Good luck to her.

I see everyone is back from vacation and this age group is off to the races again. In a weird way kind of missed all your petty back and forth banter.

M&D Black is going to dominate the lacrosse playing field. A lot of talented girls putting in the work, and Mary did a good job recruiting to get girls to the club. The M&D Red team.... definitely a B team and will struggle in the A division. I don't think team will be competitive and will be in the same bracket at Heros white. Its a shame the parents drank the Kool aid and went for the red team.

While I agree that M&D Red will struggle more than people realize, I think Hero's White is going to fall much further than some realize. Better to be on M&D Red than Hero's White.

M&D has the stronger goalie now and no I am not the goalies parent but basing it off games I’ve watched the last two years. She will give Black the edge. The Red team is a first year team and should not be playing in the A division until they prove themselves in the B, otherwise I think you are setting the team up for failure and unnecessary drama. Just being honest, these girls are not A level material yet. If they were, they would be on black or green or blue. And these girls are coming together for the first time. Give them more than just a couple of fall tournaments together to gel. In the end, like another poster said, I’m just glad they are playing. I don’t really care where Red plays as long as they get to play.

Why?

Almost half of the team now comes from WAYS - which went 1-6-1 in the B division only beating MC Carolina by 1 and tying Stars Navy. They have a few returners and some others that were not on any club rosters last year that I can find.

The red team

Red team also needs to figure out the goalie situation. Not sure what is going on there. Again they will not be a strong team unless the goalie situation addressed.

jeez, did you really feel the need to post this before making lunch for your daughter after practice at GFS today? No matter what team she is on, worry about your own daughter.

It is also tough when you have a lot of girls that have not played together before - as with the new Red and White teams. So that is an adjustment period.

That’s amazing, just wish I knew who were talking about.

M and D black will be solid and so will Heros green. Both teams got better so it will be fun to watch. Period. Maybe some parents should be banned from sidelines . The only bad blood is between know it all parents who can’t just watch their kids play without running their mouths .

I love this quote !!!

All this talk about two teams that didn’t win a single tournament last year. Less talk more walk.

Maybe the people on here should spend less time worrying about other Maryland teams and more time worrying about the LI teams that constantly beat MD teams this summer. As the previous poster said, zero tournament wins from HG and M&D Black. Yellow Jackets ran over both teams this summer.

Red team also needs to figure out the goalie situation. Not sure what is going on there. Again they will not be a strong team unless the goalie situation addressed.

Are you seriously a parent? Pick on someone your own size…oh wait, I think you already are.

I was looking for Hero’s and M&D in the SHIP at National Fall Lax Festival! Anyone?

M&D found what they needed to beat Heros. Team looked good once they got their jitters out during the first game. It’s going to be a fun fall for this age group.

You can stop looking and find a more productive use of your time rather than spending it as a troll on an 8th grade girls lacrosse message board.

It appears that the two teams out of ten (!) that made the 1-game playoff didn't play have to play Hero's or M&D. Coppermine and Belles should have been in the B division.

Both teams I think looked good. All the girls are talented players. Parents should be proud of them and all their hard work is paying off. Both teams will be exciting to watch for years to come. Not affiliated with either team just another team parent that was there watching and observing.

M&D red looked pretty good as a B-team. Would like to see them play some more competition but looking like they could be a spoiler.

Possibly, but it's definitely too early to draw any conclusions about M&D Red. They faced little competition in pool play and lost their 1 game to a top 30 opponent.

They have a bunch of girls who played on black for a long time. As a group they are very good relative to b teams. No idea about the coaches.

Coaches for the B team aren’t staying long. It’s Robinsons bandaid to shut parents up. When the chance arises they will move to the black team. Watching them coach this weekend and their frustration with their players who have inflated egos as well as their parents. The B team is not where they want to be and another shake up will happen. Can’t wait to watch the bandaid to slowly rip off.

Hang on a sec. I thought MG was brought in to "restore the luster" of the Black squad. If so, why would the Red coaches take over that team at any point in time? Am I missing something here?

No you're not missing anything. TE is not taking over the black team with MG coaching them already. That would be notIntelligent.

Oh come on is this the displaced Heros parents starting rumors again. Come on you had your turn as a top team but blew it with all your nonsense. Focus on you and your kid and let the rest of us enjoy this time on top.

Speaking of Heros Green, did they change head coaches? I saw some dude screaming his head off, running up and down the sideline during their games. Wonder what that will do to their players' psyches.

Heros White almost completely disbanded last years team. Players from that team found homes at numerous other clubs.

Only a handful remain from last years team. Some went to green. Some went to M&D. Some went to SW. White is almost a completely new team and it shows.

M&D Black won it all.

Congratulations to the girls. Did they face HG in finals?

Some went to Pride.

Glad to see greater parity in this age group. Seems like other teams are playing HG more competitively and in some cases beating them. Makes for more interesting league play and tournaments.

Stars is still scoring on Green. Wow.

11-0 Stars
A lot to be said for a team that plays together as a team and not as individuals! No one player stand out……

Interesting that the tournament stopped logging results that would formally document that humiliating loss. I guess outside of a few people the rest of the lax world still thinks Heros unbeatable.

Sorry, tuning in late, Stars beat Heros Green 11-0?

Has HG ever had a loss like that? I imagine the girls and their parents are pointing lots of fingers. I wonder what TA thinks now about her decisions at the end of last season.

On a different note, stars must be way better. My daughters team beat them last summer (close) and was never within 4 of HG.

The 26 Stars team got 3 of the top 26 Pride players to join them. That might help explain the rise of Stars and the slight decline of 26 Pride.

This is pretty much the domino effect from Pride's HS program. The lack of commitments in HS is flowing down to Capital and Stars and players realizing they have a better path to Capital and eventually getting recruited if they move away from Pride.

Scores just went in today. Stars over Hero's 10-0

In Spring '21 NGLL, Stars "Light Blue" only lost to M&D, Pride and the legendary Heros White team. Not to downplay their beatdown of Heros Green in the semis this past weekend, but Stars should have been in the Pink division in Mid-Atlantic with the big guns instead of Coppermine (when is Coppermine going to drop down??). I am sure Aces would have liked to be in the Blue division like Stars, since they did not make the playoffs with a much tougher schedule than they had at the National Fall Lax Festival. And Stars only lost to Heros Green by 1 goal at the National Fall Lax Festival.

Very true. None of the Pride HS teams are top tier. These 26 girls probably realized they would move to Capital next year so better to move now to allow for a smoother transition than what the 25 Pride girls went through when they moved.

Why move just stay at stars? Capital model seems easy to break with just a couple of classes staying with Pride and stars.

Did stars put the goalie in on offense against Heros?

Stars lost to Jesters a few weeks ago. Pride just lost to M&D by one in the semis. They see like the same teams as last year. It’s Hero’s Green and getting crushed in a short game that’s the outlier. That’s more about the state of Hero’s than any other team. I’m understanding why they got rid of the White team now. Would’ve been real uncomfortable there.

This place is so much nicer when HG is speechless. I wonder if they have finally realized that the almighty green team is mere mortals like the rest of our kids…

Based on this weekend, Stars at #1 is legit. Not saying they are the best team, but have the most impressive resume in the fall. Does anyone know if they picked up a bunch of girls from Pride. Massive change from last year.

Based on this weekend, Stars at #1 is legit. Not saying they are the best team, but have the most impressive resume in the fall. Does anyone know if they picked up a bunch of girls from Pride. Massive change from last year.

Yes they got 3 very strong players from Pride.

They were good last year, just missing a few pieces to the puzzle. 3 players from pride helped complete their game. Not sure they will hang on to the #1 spot, but they should be able to compete with the big kids now.

How bad did YJ beat HG this past weekend??

Half of the USCL top 10 from the DMV. Not bad.

How is 3 losses the most impressive resume this fall? Pretty sure M&D and HG both have less losses than that this fall, and both beat Stars and played a much tougher schedule.

Nobody said they didn't lose. From what I can see, M&D has 1 loss this fall. HG has 2 losses this fall. Stars has 3 losses this fall. Eagle Stix has 4 losses this fall. M&D beat Stars. HG beat Stars and lost to them. Jesters also beat Stars. Just trying to understand how their resume is "the most impressive resume in the fall".

They are computer rankings… you’re trying to reason with a computer.

42!

Computer rankings ha! They are put out to get people to hit their site and discuss.

Typical Hero’s parent. Your organization should work on your decorum on this site!

dense question -- did the Crush 2026 team fold? Havent seen them at any tourneys this fall and no games posted on USCL. Surprising for a team who convincingly won NGLL B league last year.

Their 28s were only at prime time as well. Why do they play such a sparce fall schedule?

Can I ask a question? Why are club teams falling apart? Is it the coaches or the club owners?

I think it is a variety of reasons. Some is poor management and parents get frustrated and leave. Some is that once parents learn the landscape of the club scene they learn which ones are the most successful and leave to try out for those. Then the lesser tier clubs can't sustain without the talent.

I see lots of coaches and club directors promising the world and not being able to provide what they say they can. How do you claim about teaching and playing at a high level and enter into B tournaments

This is kind of a guess, as I'm not a Crush parent, but could it have to do with the fact that they're so new and are in some way a branch of Perry Hall Rec? Their costs are only $800-900 per their website so I imagine that doesn't allow them to pay for a ton of tournaments. Either way, they seem to have a good program with good teams!

I agree with that, but wonder if as the girls get older they will want to go to the clubs that play in more tournaments. A competitive, inexpensive, club is a big draw, but will they still be competitive if their top 2 or 3 players leave for one of the more well known organizations????

Lesser teams struggle when their top girls move to better club teams. Creates a panic sometimes that is unnecessary as not ever girl is meant to play on a top tier team and rec lacrosse is a thing of the past. No different than Legends this year which is what use to be a rec team that a father since created so his girls can make a “club” team. At least they know they are nothing more than a travel team so they’ll be fine. But even they lost girls to TLC.

Dear M&D Parents,
I wish you all a happy holiday season. I have an important announcement to make regarding the club. Yesterday, I sold the M&D Lacrosse club along with Robinson Sports, M&D Orlando Lacrosse Club, and NGLL to a company called 3 Step.
This is actually a very positive thing for both the clubs and the businesses overall. Even though the club will no longer be technically owned by me, it will still be run by me. I am not going anywhere. My new job will be the head of the Robinson Sports Branch of 3 Step. So, all of the same responsibilities I have had in the past will remain in the future. All of the same people in the club will still be involved. The name M&D will remain the same, the coaches will all remain the same, Scott Robinson will still be the recruiting coordinator, Chris Caulk will still be our administrative assistant. There is no change in anything really for the rest of the 2022 season as far as the way M&D has been run. It will still be a small club feeling with a big corporate backing behind it.
For our future, you will see some positive changes coming about. We will have a new website for the 2022-23 season and registration. We will also be utilizing the apparel department at 3 Step. The players, coaches, and parents will love this new change. It will be a 24/7 on-line store similar to shopping Amazon. No more waiting for 6-8 weeks for your apparel to show up. It will be there within the week you order it. Uniform ordering will be done in a similar fashion.
Some other changes that will be happening over time will be ones that may not be right in front of the parents and players but will help us administratively. 3 Step owns 48 businesses similar to M&D/Robinson Sports. They have an outreach to 3.5 million athletes. This type of size gives us tremendous leverage with facilities, sponsorships, and resources. I cannot tell how you that type of support helps with the long-term viability of the club prospering the way it has for a couple of decades.
On top of that, there are a number of boys’ and girls’ lacrosse clubs that are currently under the 3 Step umbrella that gives us some major benefits for partnerships, events, and great future offerings. Some the names may be familiar to you such as 3D which over 200 club teams nationwide between their boys’ and girls’ teams. NXT out of Philadelphia which also has events, boys’ teams, and girls’ teams is also a 3 Step company. Atlanta Storm, New England Storm, and Common Goal are 3 Step clubs. Locally, the Annapolis Hawks and Hogan Lax on the boys’ side are also under the 3 Step umbrella.
The sale of the clubs was really something that I did not take lightly. It was my pride and joy since 2001, and it really was a difficult decision for me. But when I really evaluated the positives versus the negatives, the positives won out big time. First and foremost, I believe this benefits the players and families within our organization in the short term, and also the long term.
So, with that big news, I hope everyone stays safe and healthy over the next couple of weeks and enjoy your family during the holiday season.
Sincerely,
Chris Robinson

So to summarize, all of the NXT and 3D clubs will now be playing in Robinson Sports tournaments and NGLL.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. With the beef between MnD and YJ/Steps I don't see great things ahead for Robinson tournies.

From an md parent. I detest conflict is happening. Love when we play the YJ teams. Steps doesn’t travel and puts themself in weak brackets anyway so no big loss. Love playing the best and hope yellow jackets plays in the same tournies as the Md teams, along with Grizzlies and monster. Hope people boycott the money grab America select too. $700 to play in a tourney padding the 3 stooges pockets. People are desperate to put this on their kids resume so I’m sure they will be ok.

G8 for one. MnD already pulled out of it 2 years ago. Now Maryland Cup already has a solid list of clubs coming. By 2023, I'd be surprised if all the big clubs aren't there besides MnD. Time will tell I suppose, but I think the YJ/Steps tournies are much more attractive for recruiting, etc. (LLL, L4C, G8)....

The tournaments run in northern Maryland in Hartford County Cedar Lane and Cecil County are pure garbage. I believe the YJ/Steps people run those? Maybe I am wrong. Whoever runs them they do a poor job posting scores, posting standings, and they use small fields. heck some /most games we (the parents) have to keep score on the sidelines because they don't have anybody at the table. At some fields the draw circle practically overlaps the attack restraining line.

100% correct. 20 yards behind each goal. Attackers and defenders are 3 yds off draw circle. They pay no help and cancel with any drop of rain. They are too busy in the tent counting the money though cause we all pay it. L4C has great teams but in the middle of nowhere makes it miserable.

Those tournaments are run by Top of the Bay, not YJ/Steps.

Live love Lax is top of the bay? I know there are no scorekeepers at that tournament.

LLL is Steps/YJ

NXT tournament in PA was brutal this year. Just outside of MD and they were paining lines on the field during the first few games. Temporary lights blew over and crashed threw the fences. Bathrooms were clogged.

Can’t be much worse than that.

Go back in this thread to read the announcement. Chris Robinson is still running M&D.

3 Step... Same group that bought Annapolis Hawls

Agreed. Don't think anything changes, they're still going to be at the top. But what resources will they get that they don't already have now?

Robinson will stay with M&D for at least 2 years.

The money is in the tourneys not running the clubs

More $ for CR?

My daughter was playing against Hero’s Green today at spooky nook, and a girl on Hero’s got hurt and was apparently (2nd hand) medivaced out.

Does anyone know if she’s ok? Scary stuff, our thoughts go out to her.

Should be fine, despite dirty Integrity play (of course). db team.

Ambulance was called because of a possible concussion/neck injury - it was not a dirty play by any means

Good to hear she’s going to be fine. Calling 13 y/o girls a db team says more about you than them.

The Integrity team played SUPER dirty. Do they have new coaches? I don't recall those girls playing like that in the past. Or maybe new girls?

Also.. why were they in the bracket they were in? And why did the coaches let them run the scores up so much?

Someone trying to stir the pot, not from either team!
Prayers she has a quick recovery and thankful she is home!

Neutral observer here but you should ask Chris Robinson why they were in the bracket, it was a Robinson tournament. Other than M&D Red those teams were all Elite NGLL last year iirc.

They won by 10-14 each game, do we need to go back to some of the Heros Green records to find worse? I won’t bother but I’m sure there are plenty of 10+ goal wins all over the place.

Heros Green complaining about running up the score is funny.

13 year olds know what they are doing! Need to be more in control of themselves. Consequences for bad behavior if need be. Heck, back in the day 13 year olds were much more responsible. I would never ask a 13 year old nowadays to babysit my kids. Very irresponsible.

Intergrity has earned their reputation as dirty at indoor league and tournament. when you can not beat the best might as well hit, punch and trip. Integrity.

Perhaps ballet or another non contact sport would be a better fit for your child?!

Easy Karen, just because you dont like the girls playing physical you can stop calling girls dirty. You can take little Sophie and go cheer or dance

We all know there is a difference between "physical" and "dirty".

Easy… take a deep breath. So let’s get to the bottom of your issues, first off I think you need to rethink lacrosse as your daughters sport. Not sure if this is your gig because complaining about dirty play, pointing fingers and calling 13 year old girls dirty players is in my book NOT a good look. I am guessing you are the parent that harasses the refs because a girl lightly pushed your daughter, or your daughter tripped over her own two feet and you demand a penalty call. Integrity coaches are the same and have been for years and they run a good competitive team and expect the girls to play with high intensity. Not sure what issue you have with the coaches or their program but maybe address them personally. Running up scores? Really? Why should a team not run up the score? So people like you don’t get their feelings hurt? Stop being a snowflake and looking for everything to be fair or in your favor. It’s club competitive lacrosse. Again your rec club has openings and are looking for players. Maybe circle back and have a talk with your daughter and the direction you both should be going in the future.

Thanks mom. You’re exactly the person I don’t want my daughter to grow up to be. Someone bad mouthing kids on a message board. The original poster was clearly asking out of concern, but you go down this route.

Stay classy Hero’s. You prove your reputation is well earned.

Badmouthing?? Really?? No one is calling out any 13yr. Old by name. Just saying dirty playing should be called out and stopped. If you have a problem with that, you prob. Have one of those kids playing dirty?! And, you are exactly the person I don’t want my kid to grow up to be! Stay classy and promote clean play.

Again your rec club has openings and are looking for players. Maybe circle back and have a talk with your daughter and the direction you both should be going in the future.

Easy Karen/Ken Easy… take a deep breath. So let’s get to the bottom of your issues, first off I think you need to rethink lacrosse as your daughters sport. Not sure if this is your gig because complaining about dirty play, pointing fingers and calling 13 year old girls dirty players is in my book NOT a good look. I am guessing you are the parent that harasses the refs because a girl lightly pushed your daughter, or your daughter tripped over her own two feet and you demand a penalty call. Integrity coaches are the same and have been for years and they run a good competitive team and expect the girls to play with high intensity.

She was able to go home yesterday. Happy for her and her family.

Integrity parents - welcome to what we’ve been dealing with for years with Heros parents. Good try on the kind gesture. Welcome to botc.

Heros parents - glad to hear she’s going to be ok.

The email from the Heros's coaching staff thanking the Integrity girls, staff and parents is certainly different from the bs thats being posted. That email talked about sportsmanship, great intensity and appreciation

But the eyes don't lie. Integrity has some dirty players

You don't understand: one courtesy note from Hero's proves without a doubt that Integrity does not play dirty and never has. Meanwhile, another integrity parent says your daughter should do dance if she can't handle the "physical" play.

Just wait till you play Yellowjackets and some of the other LI type teams.

Was this game not managed by officials? Not sure where the officiating crew came from, but PA officials tend to let physical play occur. That could be part of the issue, but not sure though. Any yellow cards?

Why do you think most of their girls at all ages wear helmets? Easy to play reckless when you know a helmet gets you protection

Is that why a lot more LI girls wear helmets compared to MD/DMV teams?

If there is a time to wear a helmet, it is at spooky nook where the “turf” seems to be astroturf carpeting on top of concrete.

Why not play within the rules? Sorry your coaches don’t know them. Learning to play defensively is very important and fundamental. Don’t be a cry baby because you never had anyone play aggressively against your team.

I dont think you all have watched a high school or college lacrosse game. Your daughter will definitely be on the cheer squad after watching Syracuse, Duke, UNC or MD

Yes we have. The difference is , it takes a lot of skill to play super aggressive and clean! The College girls do it. Teach your 13 year olds the proper skills to play without causing injuries to other girls, and then just saying “need to toughen up buttercup”. There’s way more to it , then just swinging a stick.

I've got one question, how embarrassed would your daughters be reading these threads?

Exactly how many games have you seen where there were no fouls on a team?

Exactly!

There are rules and by extension penalties for breaking them. Acting like there is any team who doesn’t foul is comical.

detest to tell you this but Integrity doesn’t have a number 4 on the team. So maybe an eye exam is in your future OR stop spreading false information.

In fairness to LI players, several rec teams in LI require helmets for insurance purposes, so some girls are already used to wearing

Integrity is one of the better clubs for the 26's

Y’all think integrity is a dirty team even though they get the least amount of yellow cards of any team and yesterday they beat hero’s 16-14 and there was no cards on any team

Integrity is not a top club. If you don't want Spalding then no sense being there.

Yeah, Hero's parents have been trolling these waters for years...

They haven't been the top of the hill for a year or so now, at least they'll have their 4th grade trophies.

Maybe they’ll move to Hero’s and bump some of those players. Then some of theses parents will lose their sense of purpose when their D doesn’t play for HG anymore.

Why would anyone switch to a team they beat?

Have they ever beat them full squad (outdoor)?

Winter ball only matters to the parents. Most girls play other sports and indoor takes a backseat to their primary sport during winter.. Sorry if your daughter is a one sport athlete. To say that Hero's can only celebrate trophies from 4th grade only shows your jealousy.

As a parent of a Spalding player who luckily has moved on to college lax, I am so disappointed that TR is using the program to line her own pockets with promises of V & playing time to Integrity players. She isn’t even transparent about it. I have a 26 who will be attending HS at a different school. I know of two 25 players who chose to attend elsewhere because they don’t play for Integrity. I don’t understand why administration is tolerating it. She made the AD look like a complete buffoon last year with her nonsense.

It's exactly why the LI teams wear helmets. Anytime you show up for a game and 90% of the girls from NJ or LI are wearing helmets you know what you are in for. It's usually an attempt to make up for a lack of skill with physicality. Backed up by parents who think that's "just the way the game should be played" and that everyone else is soft.

Integrity is not a top club but the 2026 team is very good and if your goal is to win tournaments, I guess, yes, go to the top club if your able to, but Integrity 26 is going to produce many D1 players when dust settles and that is the goal for a lot of players/parents.

The prior AD has been a buffoon for years, lax coach had nothing to do with that. I know plenty of 2026 players who have applied to Spalding who play for Hero's Green, M&D black and SW blue. So add those players with the 2026 Integrity players I predict a conference championship in the IAAM. Let's Go Cavs

Good luck with that.......

I got a DD that is looking at Spalding but the Integrity connection is a huge turnoff.

One player parent told me that they don't allow the full team to practice? Some have to sit and watch (one of which was commited to D1 team)?

Administration and parents allow this to happen? I’ve never heard of a high school operate like this. I am floored this is allowed. So only the favorites practice and play?

I never understood why anyone would pay for their kid to go to Spalding anyway. It's a glorified public school and Severna Park is actually much nicer. If you're gonna pay money, go to to Severn or St Mary's and get a good education. Makes no sense.

Lies lies lies

If your daughter is good she will play. It would not matter if she plays for the Jets, Looneys or any other random club. The Integrity grip is a crutch used by parents of players, who may be ok but, are not good enough to play in the IAAM.

IF YOUR DAUGHTER IS BETTER SHE WILLL PLAY, stop crying.

My DD plays at St Mary’s and I know many of the girls who play for Spalding. I have watched most of these players for years. The best Spalding players were not on the field when SM beat them. Not sure who played in other games but it was like the coaches wanted to lose. Of course SM players were happy to win.

Absolutely agree! Just like most other IAAM schools, the best players stay on the field. Some of those players happen to be from Integrity...and M&d and MDU...give it a rest people/person. Spalding has great talent now and the upcoming years from many clubs.

And everyone practices, just a large roster last year after girls were told that they wouldn’t play but they were given the option to be cut or stay and basically be on the practice team. My older daughter was one of those girls and still loved cheering on her friends from the sidelines. We have absolutely loved SP and the lax program.

Let’s move on people- your daughters actually read the garbage your irresponsibly and erroneously post.

Sounds like the coach’s problem keeping a large roster to begin with. Grow some and cut players. End of story. Then you don’t have to worry about anyone coming on here saying such irresponsible things(didn't realize the truth was now irresponsible. You must work for the media).

If it is true why can't it be discussed-snowflake

Of course they stayed, if they transferred they wouldn’t be able to play anywhere else for a year- locked into a program. Choose a school not for lacrosse but for academics. Control the controllable. In the end, it’s all about what makes them feel good and happy, and the academics will be our first look. PS offers best of both, but that’s by choice. I’ve seen it, to put the hours in and not step foot in a game year after year, putting in so many hours- can really take a toll mentally on these kids. If that’s your child’s choice and chance they want to take- hopefully there is a good leader/coach still willing to give them the personal attention and guidance the on field players are getting. Choose wisely, the next four years have a big impact determining life’s next steps. College is more competitive than ever to get into. Where will your girl be happiest? In the end, it’s an individual choice and a very personal decision.

So D1 offered players were going to be cut or they could stay on practice team? There's enough smoke to realize that there is a lot of truth to what is/was going on.

As an outsider, it really is a bad look to have a varsity HS coach affiliated with a club team.
I know there are other schools but its just a bad look.

Also, when do 2026 girls "declare" for a HS? Is there some date they must register?

Really- Lots of D1 commits rarely or never play in iaam- goalies included.

Yes all MIAA schools will send out acceptance letters and you must register or declare. Each school may be different but it's all within the same time window

Let’s move on people- your daughters actually read the garbage your irresponsibly and erroneously post.

So D1 offered players were going to be cut or they could stay on practice team? There's enough smoke to realize that there is a lot of truth to what is/was going on.

As an outsider, it really is a bad look to have a varsity HS coach affiliated with a club team.
I know there are other schools but its just a bad look.

Also, when do 2026 girls "declare" for a HS? Is there some date they must register?

Was it a bad look when the M&D director was coaching at Mcd? Or when the former Integrity director was coaching at Spalding?

Can you explain? Are you saying if you are committed to a D1 program you will not play? I’m confused by your comment.

Yes plenty of D1 commits never step out on the field even in their senior year. NDP carries 40+ players almost every year.

Or current integrity director? Or Current 26 black coach at St. Paul’s? It’s a common thing, happens with boys too.

Not saying it’s right or wrong but it is common.

Stay far away from Spalding if you want what is best for your daughter.

Administration and parents allow this to happen? I’ve never heard of a high school operate like this. I am floored this is allowed. So only the favorites practice and play?

If your daughter is good she will play. It would not matter if she plays for the Jets, Looneys or any other random club. The Integrity grip is a crutch used by parents of players, who may be ok but, are not good enough to play in the IAAM.

IF YOUR DAUGHTER IS BETTER SHE WILLL PLAY, stop crying.

My DD plays at St Mary’s and I know many of the girls who play for Spalding. I have watched most of these players for years. The best Spalding players were not on the field when SM beat them. Not sure who played in other games but it was like the coaches wanted to lose. Of course SM players were happy to win.

You really think that the coaches wanted them to lose? Most ridiculous comment today.

I didn’t write the comment above but I think their point was not that they wanted them to lose but that the coach evaluated the players differently than the poster.

I think we call all agree that different people look at players differently for whatever reason.

I think what they are saying is just because you are a D1 commit doesn't make you a starter or even should see the field. Just because you commit D1 doesn't mean you see the field in college.

Years ago coaches (Integrity, Hawks, and a couple soccer clubs) who owned clubs had to resign their positions and either step away from their club or resign as a coach at their high schools. You can coach just NOT own the club. Not sure why the Integrity owner (TR) is allowed to coach but I am sure there is a loophole somewhere and is why she is still coaching.

Yes, that's literally what I said. Its a bad look, and all due respect to Integrity, it isn't M&D.

I think she's willing to play young Integrity players over non Integrity upper classman who are better now in order to try to win down the road, yes. That experience is going to help the underclassman in 2-3 years and that is what I think the coach is focused on.

At end of day, she either will reap the benefits or get canned, (but next time it sticks) but I wouldn't want to use Integrity as my feeder club, I'll just say that much.
M&D or Hero's, sign me up.

Not allowed by who?

Wonder how C got around that at McD. He didn’t leave for a rule.

There wasn’t a rule that made H leave SMA, it was something else. I know that one first hand.

question for 2026 parents -- did any of your kids attend the Apex Girls Futures 2026 event October? Considering for my 2027 daughter next year.

Thanks

Daughter and several of her teammates went. Good event, a bit overpriced. They did a combine which was very fun for the girls. Tons of talent at the camp, especially the all-star game. Was suprised by the talent level from some girls from outside the east coast, especially Colorado. Daughter said there were only around 5 or 6 girls who really didn't belong there.

Camp was small around 75 girls which made for lots of reps at PT.

Lacrosse is irrational from a $ perspective. That was one we actually didn’t do because of price. I don’t think there has been a time where we held out because of money prior to that.

If people saved up all the money they spent on lacrosse over the years, you'd benefit more financially then you ever do getting that fraction of scholarship $ from a college.

So my daughters (older and one 2026) have been to a showcase on Long Island for a company College Bound Laxers and I really enjoy their events. They are small but with great coaches, and a high coach to player ration. But with one thing made by the last commenter, playing travel lacrosse or any sport teaches you child a lot of great attributes to have that carry over in life. Additionally, if it wasn’t for the und1sputed showcase, not sure if my daughter would be committed there and I say that because we know for certain that X college only saw my daughter play there and then eventually at other team tournaments.

Supposedly $450. Don't know for sure. Teammate was already accepted.

When do 2026s who are going to private schools need to declare for that High School?

Any idea on what HS is going to get the best influx of talent in this class? Its McDonough pulling M&D Black players?
Will Hero's Green girls go to BR's new school now?

Where is Spalding pulling from club wise? (other than Integrity which are very good at 2026 level)

Spalding Coach does an excellent job at recruiting. She blew other local private school coaches away. They are recruiting 26’s from quite a few clubs. Admissions for spalding though is announced in mid-Feb so we’ll see who actually commits.

Can you confirm your opinion is from a non Integrity parent perspective?

Pretty shocked to hear that knowing the local private coaches

Curious what type of recruiting Spaulding did that was so different?

I believe some LBC girls are going to Spalding.

SMA boys are being completely out recruited by every other school in AA county right now. That is 100% fact.

They promised more financial help than other schools.

It's all relative. And individual. Your financial aid package is often contingent upon the student's grades, athletic prowess AND "ordered preference" of Top 3 schools.
Catholic schools are not getting into bidding wars against themselves.

This is shocking to me as a parent of a 2027. Maybe she's not interested in my kid, or any of her teammates because we've heard really nothing from Spalding.

better off going to Mt De Sales, Severn, Garrison Forest, St Marys and playing possibly in 9th grade vs going to Spalding/MCD/NDP/SPSG and waiting 2/3 years to play.

Parents don't go around and tell ALL, if you ask they will be vague and are always circling back and never give straight answers. They are sneaky and playing and manipulating every angle possible. You and your kid will be left out, trust me I have seen numerous times. Good Luck

Totally agree, and some parents may be playing coy, but we do have a corp group that does trade stories, share info.

Once the 26's are confimred once acceptance letters go out, you will see the HS coaches coming out in the spring and summer

Half of the 26 Hawks go to SMA already. Maybe they don’t need to do as much recruiting vs Spalding which has no kids already enrolled. Just a thought.

Only a stud plays right away at Severn. They got a good young core. They will finish top half this year. (Note: I am a Bryn Mawr parent; they should have beat us last year.)

Lots of schools historically get more from certain clubs

eg. Maryvale, John Carroll from SW
SPSG, GC from Heros
Mcdonogh from M&D

Question for parents who have been through the process before.

Our daughter is a 26, who starts at midfield for a top-10 club. Feedback from both club and some college camps is that she will likely project as a defender if she want to play at a top 10 or top 20 school.

Should we make a position switch at the club level now? Club director and coach have left it up to us. Said she will start regardless of what she chooses.

Does it help our hurt to actually place defense if you will be recruited as a defender? She is play middie in high school, mostly because her high school is not a top program.

Middies play defense. Let the college coach determine where she plays. Keep her at middie.

Coaches love midfielders in general because they can play both sides and are more versatile. I'd stay midfield because she will have more opportunities to make positive impact plays - assists, good clears, CT on the ride, etc.

Many boys and girls go from being a top scoring middie in high school to a top short stick defender in college - coaches put athletes on the field period

Stay in Midfield!! Too young still to be told that. She still has time to work in all positions, and should!

Not that will impress anyone.

Should we make a position switch at the club level now? Club director and coach have left it up to us. Said she will start regardless of what she chooses.

Does it help our hurt to actually place defense if you will be recruited as a defender? She is play middie in high school, mostly because her high school is not a top program.

For a 26, keep her at middie and give her more time to develop. If she was a 24, this would be a trickier conversation.

In the era of the transfer portal, coaches want fewer girls transitioning positions and want defenders who actually want to play there. If she is a clear defender as a 24, she should probably be playing there in the top games/showcases.

Had this exact conversation with our club director for my 24. She's been a middie her whole career, but excels on defense. She slept on it and decided to move the defense for club, but is still playing middie for high school.

Which one? They are both pretty good, but neither is amazing. Like most 13 year olds they have really good days and really bad days.

Not a mom of either of these goalies. I have watched all the goalies play and those three stand out. Maybe take time to watch a game or two.

She’ll have to be that’s much better than the goalie(s) they have to knock their own out- good luck w that one LBC. A year of tournaments playing sub par teams is critical in development and player growth. The top ones will stay, they’ll continue getting better

WOW. Mid-season. Isn't her mother the coach of that team?

Also biggest Hypocrite Ever!!

You should be ashamed of yourself. You have a right to an opinion but we are talking 14 year old girls here. To anonymously bash a kid is a bad look.

In reference to the mom being a loose cannon. She'll be calm when her daughter starts a new team but a tiger doesn't change his/her stripes. If she tries to befriend you watch out. Good luck with that one.

Put her against some strong competitors you will have a different perspective

Heard the LBC mom didn't want to pay tuition.

So when it's your kid you should be ashamed and it's a bad look? Got it.

“Put her against some strong competitors you will have a different perspective”

Agreed.
Look at the Spooky Nook tournament!
Played a good team and got destroyed.

Who quits their team mid season? Not good parenting. Especially if you are the only goalie. Very inconsiderate!!!

She might look good playing in B tournaments

LBC 26 goalie mom coach or not? That would be a really bad example if she abandoned her team.

Said she shouldn’t have to pay. That was nothing but an excuse to leave! Thinks daughter in next great goalie!
Mom is the problem.

I heard the goalie quit last week. That was their only goalie. So not playing the rest of 2022 until tryouts?

What's harsh? Facts? Hope the goalie does amazing wherever she lands. Newsflash, over the bridge most goalies split time at this age and starting doesn't mean anything. Good luck on your new adventure.

yes, it is sad. Players get poached by clubs like Integrity/MDU and then parents are stuck driving over an hour to practice. I cant imagine that the Eastern Shore of MD has a ton of lacrosse players to pull from. Its sad for those kids that are committed to the team and parents that don't want to have to drive.
AND it seems like most have left mid season as well which is just awful to the rest of the teammates. What parent would not teach their children to honor commitments? I heard one girl left for Integrity because she had a fight with another teammate about a boy!

She was a difference maker for LBC in goal, going to hurt losing her.

Lots of trash talk for an anonymous forum. LBC has had players leaving over the last two years. They've left for M&D, Integrity and MD United. This happens at every org. What should concern you is why LBC cant keep talented girls. It all starts at the top with the club owners.

She was a difference maker because all the other goalies quit too. LBC offers nothing to goalies. The parents have tried to explain that to them and what happens???? The owner gives the same empty promises. Get a clue.

It happens ore than you think. But usually because a girl got little to no PT in the fall. This is more unusual.

That said, I know MD United had a couple girls for tryout during a winter indoor game.

Biggest reason is that LBC is locked out of all of the YJ/Steps tourneys which represent 3 of the 4 biggest tourneys in the summer. Especially important for older girls.

L4TC, LLL and G8 are major recruiting events. Depending on how big MD cup becomes, they could have 4 major events.

Everyone has their own circumstance. The clubs have no problem taking a girl mid year, why wouldn’t you leave if there was a better fit?

The only thing that is a little sketchy is that apparently she was the only goalie. That’s a little different I guess.

It does stink when players leave in the middle of the season. With that being said it's not always a black and white situation. LBC never passes up opportunity to pick up a kid mid season. Enough about the drive. LBC has practices in DE for crying out loud. Would you continue to take your child to practice crying? Forcing her to get out of the car because her team needed her? Consoling her on the ride home? Is it more important to be loyal to a lacrosse club or your daughter?

Mom/ coach has been the problem as well as those mouthy dads on the sidelines. LBC players yelling at them to be quiet and they refuse. The moms on the sidelines bashing the girls. Come on the coach is toxic but so are the parents. The girls just want to play lacrosse and have fun:

What's sketchy is that the mother of the goalie had coached that team for years. Those girls looked up to her. She knew exactly what she was getting as far as goalie coaching or lack thereof. Just because she used to coach doesn't mean she doesn't have to pay tuition forever. She's going to have to pay at a new club so it sounds like tuition was just an excuse. The team will be better off without the mother/coach and they already have a goalie✌✌

That’s the point.
Mom/Coach bashed the family that did the same thing last year to everyone.
It’s even worse that she’s coached that team for years, and helped talk a girl into coming back this year. Then leave’s anyway. It’s always about her!! Good luck Integrity.
Karma!!

Is there a switch to another team? Goalie spots are filled on every team. We have a friend who’s been trying to switch and can’t, unless Heros considers a second?

Do the current Integrity goalies know they are about to be replaced?

I know when LBC goalie went to MDU last year, they put her on the B team of the grad year above since there was a spot, assume they would do that here.

LBC was at a tournament like 5 years ago and the same goalie mom made comments about a boy playing on the opposing team.

According to another page:

Was caught playing players down on multiple teams at 2018 Lax For the Cure. Haven't been back to any YJ/Steps events since.

Apparently, they had been caught before then and were already warned. Reportedly TLC turned them in which explains the bad relationship between the clubs.

They do now! Hopefully they are trying out for the 2026 Blue or 25 team. The two goalies on the Green team are solid goalies.

Can we talk about how this is the second year in a row that LBC's very good goalie has left the team right before the start of Spring season/NGLL. Other goalies have left at older age groups as well. Maybe the program needs to reassess what they are offering in terms of goalie coaching and development.

Most definitely. Starting to be a trend.

There is zero goalie coaching at most other clubs
MDU, CCLax, and MNd have goalie coaches. Not a reason to switch for a goalie. It goes back to the parents. Jumping clubs to get their players on better performing teams. A team is good because Of the players working together, not individual performances. These teams that take on new players mid season hurt that team mentality and creates a sense of distrust w players and parents. It’s happened in years past, top teams losing players because of the distrust that was created the season before. I hope team coaches consider this moving forward- there’s some good unified teams that have overcome B divisions into top A teams for the sole purpose that these players play well with each other and trust each other. Once that trust is gone on a team, it begins to crumble

Reassess what they offer for goalie coaching? What they offer is nothing. Does passing for 15-20 mins before practice sound like development? How about getting pelted on in the goal for the remainder of practice or put your stick down and run in the middle of the field for everyone to shoot on you without your goalie stick. Have you heard of that drill? What about your coach telling you after a losing game it was your fault? So I guess you can say they need to reassess what they are offering.

You clearly do not understand the position of goalie if you think that it isn’t important to have goalie coaches at clubs.

That wasn’t what was said. Agree- it’s essential, but not a focus for clubs unfortunately. Goalies are left on their own to spend thousands each year on training. The claim that goalies are leaving for coaching can’t be true- because there is no coaching unless it’s the three teams listed above (and maybe a few outlier clubs). It’s needed for sure- just not available

We have goalie coaching for 45 minutes at practice and our goalie coaches are at the games. Makes a huge difference. They can help them make corrections during the game and see what they need to work on at the next practice.

Reassess what they offer for goalie coaching? What they offer is nothing. Does passing for 15-20 mins before practice sound like development? How about getting pelted on in the goal for the remainder of practice or put your stick down and run in the middle of the field for everyone to shoot on you without your goalie stick. Have you heard of that drill? What about your coach telling you after a losing game it was your fault? So I guess you can say they need to reassess what they are offering.

Well since the coaches daughter is now a goalie maybe she'll change her way of coaching.

To any parent of a goalie who is switching clubs, the very first question that should be asked is “What do you offer goalies.?” If they say we do not have goalie coaches at every practice then keep looking. I know people will say that Hero’s and M&D don’t have them and they are on top, but are they winning games based on goals saved or because they put all their time and effort into their field positions. The goalies at those clubs are decent but have such good defenders that they aren’t as good as lower Club goalies. You want to be a great goalie? Join the worst team.

this family should have really looked at themselves. Telling your daughter constantly she is the best on the team causes issues. When there are multiple complaints from families about one teammate and that player plays the victim of course she will want to leave. i feel bad for the player honestly.

Although nobody wants to be on a losing team this is true.

As a parent of a goalie, Ive heard this to be factual. Can't tell you how many times we've played a top-4 team and their goalie will see 4-5 shots while mine sees 25. Plenty of goals given up and plenty of great saves too.

I must agree, though I won't say "worst team" but a solid A team that plays against the top teams, thats the key, you want your goalie to see the best shooters.

Both Heros and m&d have goalie coaching. Can’t be available at every practice but sets up specific goalie times.

Most definitely. Starting to be a trend.

Obviously LBC has gone through the ringer here. Let’s all possibly agree to move on. Nobody can blame a player or parent for wanting what is best for themselves and their family. See the bigger picture please! The goalie will be going to Spalding, which, as you have read, is an Integrity “monopoly”!

Recruiting years are important. Goalie training is critical. Heros, SW, MDU, M&D, and possibly Integrity/CC Lax have it. (Yes, in that order). Some better than others. LBC apparently does not and that could be an issue.

The only LBC goalie that was halfway decent left for SW 2024. There were no other decent goalies that left after/before that.

I agree to an extent with some caveats

1) you want your goalie to face the best shooters, if you arent on a team that plays in top brackets of tourneys that doesnt happen
2) the biggest diferentation for goalies is ability to lead the defense and clear effectively. If you surround yourself with poor defenders that is nearly impossible to do and goalies end up chucking the ball to midfield in hopes of finding an open girl

Those goalies at clubs like M&D and Hero's are also seeing higher quality shots at practice more consistently on top of the goalie coaching. I don't understand why more clubs don't provide a specific goalie coach or two at this point.

Because they are impossible to find. Or they don’t want to pay their fees of hundreds per hour. Poster was correct- only a few clubs have them, pretty sure integrity does not. So why abandon a team mid season. Because your current team is getting beat time and again in B level games, so why not jump ship.

Goalies talk to each other as do the parents, it seems the same clubs are producing quality goalies, same list of clubs above that have goalie coaching, its their they get coached up or other see that and go there as they age and develop. (Hero's M&D SW MDU etc)

The LBC 27 goalie is very good too. I think she is a small lefty, very quick, dev a strength of that team.

Sure. That's why they get scouted by other teams. Nice try LBC.

That goalie quit SW and not playing club anymore. I believe their 21 goalie is at UMBC D1. She is really good. Others have left and are doing great as well.

This is funny. LBC must be doing something right with the goalies they keep getting recruited by other clubs. LBC had a goalie coach at every fall practice. I was told by the daughters coach that the Integrity director told the LBC 26 goalie in the summer after tryouts and teams were picked she could play and would be the only Integrity 26 Green Goalie. SW24, Heros25, Integrity26, MDU26. The 21 goalie went to UMBC apparently. So LBC developed all of these goalies? Parents have the idea that they have to go to the Western Shore.

There is no goalie development at LBC. The older goalies stayed because they didn’t realize what they were missing and/or they lived to far away to travel across the bridge. If it was so great then why did the 24,25, 26, 28 goalies all leave? That’s a lot of goalies. And these other club directors don’t recruit. Parents watch teams at NGLL and tourneys and see the difference in coaching and then contact the others.

Not familiar with the current situation. I can tell you in the past the parents have paid thousands of dollars over time, spent hours in the car, time away from other family members to help develop their child. The reason why parents have stayed with LBC for so long is because they don't want to make the drive over the bridge, they fall for empty promises and they don't want to leave their team. To answer your question, no LBC has not developed the goalies. They sat back and took advantage of the parents who put in the extra time and money and the kids who put in the extra time.

This is true. At a certain age you start notice there is more to it than stopping the ball. Girls are developing footwork and various techniques. You realize other girls are passing your daughter by with the skills they are learning at different clubs that offer goalie coaching. Field players are getting faster and stronger therefore your daughter needs to do the same. If you don't get your child out of an environment that doesn't really care they really aren't going to care.

Okay Goalie mom. 25 goalie is okay but she is overshadowed by the other Hero’s Green goalie who is on the watchlist of goalies already. That goalie is very tall and just ideal for that team.

This is not true. These goalies were 100% poached by other club directors. Of course other clubs are going to recruit them, goalies are a a tough commodity to come by.

A lot of western shore clubs sell the parents. Ignorant parents pull kids from teams without even letting their daughter have a say in the decision.

with all of the chat about goalies, where did the Heros White goalie from last year end up?

What year are you referring to? This past tryout? Or tryouts coming in the summer? If the goalie was offered a spot last tryouts why didn't they come over to Integrity then? Why are they waiting? Are you saying the integrity director and coach are willing to cut the two goalies they currently have on Integrity green? I am just trying to understand, not a parent of the goalies or the team just seems like LBC mom is puffing her chest and making unrealistic demands.

M and D Black team. Its Ok goalie dad we all know you just want to be heard and your daughter seen. Feeling a little left out. You and the LBC goalie mom would be a great match. Maybe the LBC goalie should tryout for the Black team, oh wait you and your daughter don't share playing time. Carry on

What's different about the current situation is that mom/coach was part of LBC's inner circle with the club director for years. She knew the goalie coaching situation and was an integral part of convincing girls to stay and to come to LBC.

2026 has some very strong goalies, I can say that much.

That has been noted which is awesome. Can we cancel out some of these parents? That would be a game changer.

SW24, Heros25, Integrity26, MDU26. The 21 goalie went to UMBC apparently. So LBC developed all of these goalies? Parents have the idea that they have to go to the Western Shore.

What year are you referring to? This past tryout? Or tryouts coming in the summer? If the goalie was offered a spot last tryouts why didn't they come over to Integrity then? Why are they waiting? Are you saying the integrity director and coach are willing to cut the two goalies they currently have on Integrity green? I am just trying to understand, not a parent of the goalies or the team just seems like LBC mom is puffing her chest and making unrealistic demands.

LBC mom was emotional when her daughter was a field player 10x worse now that she's a goalie. God bless her daughter and the team she goes to.

The 2026 LBC Goalie did not attend Integrity tryouts.

Correct, but she will be playing for integrity club owner at Spaulding. So it must be a package deal. Wonder what has been said to the current goalies. Have fun integrity w the drama, I’ve seen the current goalies, they’ll get snatched up.

You are welcome

Girls lacrosse parents have to be the most impatient people alive. This girl is in 8th grade. Just because she may go to Spalding is no justification to quit the current team midseason. She's got 13 months before she can even play an actual high school game, probably at the JV or freshman level. Selfish people will try to justify it any way they can but everybody knows it's a low class move.

Not when you promised VARSITY and a FULL ride to Spalding. She might be in 8th grade but they are taking full advantage of the promises being made by Integrity Staff.

With all that free money why not pay LBC tuition?

I agree the tall 2025 green heroes goalieis very good she stops a lot of shots because of her height and size watchlist don’t mean much I’ve seen the other goalie play she communicates well with her defense and is the fastest with her hands eyes and footwork I’ve seen at this level .They both will be highly recruited goalies.

Isn’t this a 2026 page?

Now it makes sense. That mom will do anything if it's for free. She had free tuition for years. Once she had to pay she left.

Will they really only keep one goalie on Integrity A? That seems foolish.

Also how do you just move those other two goalies off A? They are good goalies in their own right.

You mean to tell me Spalding is giving her a full ride and promises of varsity on top of the Integrity Spalding connection?

So she’s looking at being a four year starter? I wouldn’t want to be upper classman there at goalie

Spot on.

How do the current Integrity goalies feel knowing they are about to be replaced?

Yes this is the 26 page NOT the 25 page or 27. Keep scrolling and find the correct forum on BOTC.

How do you think they feel? All the hard work they put into training, extra training, time, money, traveling, bonding with their teammates, friendships now broken, and the list to go on and on. The dynamic of the team will change because now they know that they will be replaced. No matter what the coach or owner say or do to try and rectify this situation… the damage is done and feelings are hurt. But hey LBC goalie mom and daughter are happy and that’s all that matters in peoples entitled brains.

I'm also assuming there is a freshman or sophmore goalie at Spalding who is fighting to earn a varsity spot or starter role who can't exactly be excited that this player is being processed things and she is now on the club affiliated with Spalding coach.

Heroes white? Can’t see Heroes green. Heroes green goalie is the ONLY goalie and has been that way for awhile. Same with M and D black.

I can't imagine her going to Hero's white although they are a great team. I'm sure in eyes that would not be good enough.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. M and D goalie is new this year. The two from last year are no longer on the team.

Will these "new" additions play on Saturday

Either do you. The M and D black goalie is new to the team but NOT new the area of lacrosse teams or drama. She is the only goalie because the other goalie left after fall season. She was the only on Heroes white as well. Daddy and daughter do NOT like to split time. So back up goalie left. Don’t blame her why stay and get zero playing time. I’m sure this goes along with the Heroes green goalie as well.

This is very risky to only carry one goalie for a team-injuries and illnesses do happen and where will a back up come from that is of similar caliber? IMO all high level teams should carry two goalies just in case…

Agreed. Do coaches allow parents to make these demands at this level?

Much cheaper tuition for goalies at LBC, less than half to ensure goalies could compensate with lessons if desired.

Agreed. No club team needs just one goalie taking every shot at practices , clinics and games. Parents that push this are being selfish too and I wouldn’t want them.

Hopefully it's not too many. There's already a goalie that's going to lose her spot. Now current player's are going to lose playing time because they're coming with this new goalie? Not to mention LBC's 26 team is going to be almost depleted.

Idk, ask her

Trying out for Hero's? Sounds like they already have their spots on Integrity.

You could ask that mom, but my guess is entitled since you don't pay for years and obviously looking for a reason to leave

Where are the 2026 girls going to this fall? Maryvale? MCD? SPSG? NDP? GFS? Spalding? MDS? BM? RP?

Wait people are going with the goalie? Man. This is a double edged sword for a lot of people. Shoulda just waited until the summer and do things the right way.

Maybe one of the Integrity goalies can go to LBC?

M&D Red is playing against B teams though right? No offense to those teams, but you want to play against top teams, especially as a goalie.

Besides the obvious Spalding connection, I'd go with its closer and Integrity 26 is a very good team, top-15 I believe.

M&D 2026 Red coach, does coach at Spalding too.

Integrity is a very good team and so are their EXISTING goalies. No reason to upset the apple cart.

It has to do with Spalding, which is why I think it’s bad to have a HS HC affiliated with a club.

Honest question: Are there any high school teams that do not have coaches double dipping with a club team? Are the high schools paying the coach so much they can make those demands?

Thats why this makes no sense. Why would Integrity bring in a problem family and potentially blow up their best team. This is probably just gossip spread by someone with a beef against the team.

Its one thing to be "assisting coach" at a certain grad year, its another to be "director" role at a club. It def steers kids to you and steers others away.

Maybe at the MS and below level they coach but my understanding is they can't coach their HS players outside of the season. Maybe this is just a public school rule?

That's a BIG NO!!! Talking to some parents on M and D Red.... their team would love to have new goalies. I hope the Integrity goalies reach out

So thoughtful of you to check in with the parents, how about talking to the coaches or the two committed goalies or even better, just keep your talking to your own team and daughter

All true. Not rumors and zero bees with the team. Parents and players are upset and rightfully so.

The negative comments are clearly from LBC parents. They are great families that happen and all this negative talk is trash. Get over it. Quite a few girls have LBC and other clubs over the years. This is nothing new

Ask the LBC club owners why talent has left at every age group.

Just plain sad.

I know there are high school players in public school getting coached by their club coaches

Players leave midseason all of the time for various reasons. That doesn't make it right but it happens with every club. The difference with the goalie situation is there are already two Integrity goalies on their green team. If your daughter tried out, earned her spot on that team, paid tuition and has been playing how would you feel having someone else come in midseason and take that position from your daughter?

LBC goalie Mom’s karma will be when her daughter doesn’t actually make Varsity at Spaulding. Or does but never sees the field. Integrity Director/Spaulding Director is the Queen of BS. Just ask all the other players she has made this same promise to. Believe me, I have heard this same story many times over the years. Spaulding Director and LBC Director are actually long time friends. At least they used to be but Integrity Director ruins friendships too if it benefits her pockets. She is completely self absorbed and doesn’t care who she hurts in the process. But she will tell a parent whatever she thinks they want to hear and than gaslight the parent when she doesn’t fulfill her promises leaving the parent to question everything. Believe me, there is a great goalie in every class at Spaulding and the 2026 goalie will not be special once she arrives on campus. But of course the 26 goalie coach Mom will have to learn this the hard way.

Do you really think Integrity leadership cares? Trust me, they don’t care. At all. Lots of very unhappy Integrity families who have moved on to better things over the years. Integrity’s connection to Spalding has only backfired. I know quite a few kids who have steered clear of integrity and or Spalding because of the obvious bias and connection. I don’t understand why Spalding allows this. Director is untouchable at Spalding. The drama she caused last year proved this. She only got promoted because of it. Weak leadership at Spalding. Too many better choices in the area for both club and high school to get caught up in that mess.

Spalding and Integrity have been linked together since the days of the former Integrity director ML coached the team back in 2007 or so. The current coach and current Integrity director played for ML at Spalding. So there's always been a conflict of interest with the club and the school. Whether the conflict of interest is real or perceived, it still crosses ethical boundaries. No club director should be a high school coach. It just leads to numerous problems with favoritism. Both at the club level and at the school. The administration at Spalding has turned their back on this for several years. Don't understand why they haven't addressed this issue properly over the several years.

Ok. So it's Sunday. Do we know what happened with the old LBC goalie with the foolish mom?

Heard she is going to Spalding.

Can someone tell me more about CB Laxers and the und1sputed showcase?

There was a “practice” with like 30 girls, no real explanation. At least one other LBC field player. Some girls from other teams and the B team.

The 2026 LBC team will carry 3 goalies.

Integrity?

All goalies would then have to split the time

It is their decision at the end of the day.

So really this is about the Spalding HC getting to work with her goalie now instead of waiting, I guess that's it? Sounds like Spalding putting together a nice 2026 class of players, led by their Integrity squad, but the outlook is not so good past that class I'd assume, based on the "bad press" building up.

Administration doesn't care and turns a blind eye. If you are a parent and bring these concerns to the administrations attention, the claims are brushed off as YOU over reacting.

Well, good luck getting the younger grad years on board, outside of the integrity pipeline. Parents talk.

Are there any good Integrity teams other than 26?

Was this a practice or was it some sort of mid season tryout?

Who said their 26 team is good? One win over a depleted Hero's team and half an M&D team, indoors too, doesn't mean all of a sudden they are good.
Maybe more like good second tier team.

Thank goodness someone said what we all thinking. Spot on!

Integrity is run poorly IMO

You sound like a hero’s parent (or a former one for sure). It’s not a real win? Your daughter’s team lost, accept it, it won’t kill you and grow up.

Mid season tryout but none of the current girls risk their spot. So yeah, 26 girls on a team!

Parents, coaches, directors, please stop the drama. We beg you! Let’s share stories of training, camps, NGLL, upcoming HS season, etc.

There was a time where BOTC made everyone’s email required to post. Those emails were also able to be seen from past posts which is not a “good look”!

Clean it up and use the forum as intended, to share good information. You have been warned.

Yet here you are posting anonymously. Why are you warning and shaking your finger? What has been posted by parents has turned out to be true with Integrity and these tryouts. Thank goodness it was brought to light because a lot of our daughters would have been blind sided Now we have the option to plan and move on in the summer. So thank you BOTC parents. Carry on.

Try way more than that, and it won’t stop this year. This is the new philosophy.

Was it an actual tryout or a practice with a few select players from other teams sprinkled in? Was it posted on their website or Facebook page for any girl to come? If so I know a few girls who would've gone.

Agreed...every team does all of it- I’m so confused why all the detest for integrity and Spaulding (granted I think it’s likely only 1-2 people that have no life and spend their day trolling over and over). Regardless, I’m not affiliated with those organizations but what is described happens everywhere in maryland? St Paul coach hugely affiliated with mnd and will bring in at least 6 freshman and then her own team right behind it. There are a zillion examples...Just like at every school in this conference- only the best will be playing (literally nonstop) regardless of what club they come- They are all ruthless- they will recruit transfers (clubs and hs) all with no apologies or getting the troll’s prior approval.

This is maryland lax- if your daughter isn’t playing- she needs to talk to the coach to see what/if she can improve- work harder but she’s probably just not as good so be fine with her riding the bench. Simple as that. Let’s stop blaming this poor women for your daughter’s shortcomings (considering this is the best conf in the nation) - it is what it is.

"only the best will be playing (literally nonstop) regardless of what club they come"
You must be new to this page, go spend time on the HS page and see what is being said over at Spalding. Its her team, she can run it as she sees fit, but there's repercussions.

Yes, St Paul coach pulls from M&D as does McDonough, and it makes sense when that club has a top-3 team in every age group that the M&D girls would be playing a lot in HS.

Practice with girls from multiple other teams. 30ish total girls. Call it what you like.

My daughter has played for multiple teams, they all did it. Obviously I haven’t seen all teams but seems normal at the high level teams.

HS coach of the year MG did it with her M&D team (had several Heros players at her practices). So it does happen ALL the time

Those girls were trying out for the team. MG was not replacing or bringing on girls mid season. However Coach of the year MG did tell the girls during the tournament who was staying on black, who got demoted to Red and who got cut from the team. It’s all a life lessons IMO.

It sounds like they had to make it seem like a tryout but they already knew they were taking the LBC goalie and players the LBC coach/mom encouraged to follow.

This is exactly what it was, you have to have the illusion of players "earning their spot".

I do wonder if this helps the team on the field, certainly going to be growing pains off of it.

Not to mention LBC coach/mom felt the need to pillage the 26 team she coached for years on her way out.

Well, seems like LBC 26 was going to lose those kids anyways one way or the other.
I wonder if this trend continues for 27 28 teams?

Not in the middle of the season but I guess it's better to get rid of the goalie momma drama asap.

You sound so sincere

So with all the new additions how many girls are on integrity green now? Did they move one of the goalies or will there really be 3?

Hear there will be 3 with weekly practice performance determining who plays,

Whole situation is just sad to me. LBC obviously hurt by this. Integrity current players hurt by this. Not sure who really benefits, maybe former LBC goalie if she was in bad environment.

You can't play three goalies, so best case you split halves unless they just only play LBC goalie.
one of those goalies, if not two are not going to get what they signed up for.

If you start a season thinking you are one of two goalies and pay tuition it is not fair to now be put in a position where you might not play at all. If roles were reversed LBC goalie mom would be losing it more than usual.

The LBC goalie was not in a bad situation her mom wants her to go to Spalding and thought this was the best way in. Not sure why the mom didn't consider the impact of disrupting another team. She obviously wasn't thinking about her own daughter and her future on this team or at Spalding.

This makes it sound like the LBC goalie couldn’t get into Spalding unless she was on Integrity, I really really hope that wasn’t some back alley agreement made in that respect.

Everyone gets into Spalding.

Integrity "the act of behaving honorably, adherence to moral and ethical principals". Integrity is honesty without deception, following through on your commitments you made to players. Maybe they should change the back of their warm up shirts to read "I work hard so I can be replaced midseason" Seems more appropriate.

100% accurate on both points.

Myth, helmets do not promote aggressive play. Look it up. And if anything a girl wearing a helmet is less likely to get a call. Especially if you're a goalie.

I know plenty of kids who have been denied admission to Spalding. Not sure where you are going with your comment but you’re wrong.

LBC goalie has a sibling that attends Spalding. Legacy families usually have top priority. Why would the parents want her to go anywhere else? The drive from the shore is already a long drive, driving to one high schools seems logic IMO.

Ok LBC goalie Mom!

This just proves the point that you need to play for Integrity to make varsity and see the field at Spalding. You already said that admissions shouldn’t be a problem since she is a “legacy”. Otherwise Coach Mom wouldn’t be moving her mid year from a team she was the coach of for years to a team that will practice “a long drive from the shore” and that already has 2 goalies on the roster who participated in official tryouts, committed and paid months ago, and played all Fall season with. Now this new LBC goalie broke her commitment to her long standing team to join a club that would even do this to their players.. I guess LBC Mom will see what she has in store for her at Spalding! Karma never fails to work!

Okay...mom

Who cares about the goalie- it’s done. Let’s talk about why anyone would stay in this club if they weren’t going to Spaulding. And why anyone moving forward would try out for Integrity unless they were going to Spaulding. And that this WILL happen to other Integrity years and all this girls disrupting their current team moving will be replaced by girls that are better coming to Spaulding in the 27 and 28 grad years. There is zero loyalty to anyone in the Integrity club or at Spaulding. The writing is on the wall for this club.message clear.

What year are you referring to? This past tryout? Or tryouts coming in the summer? If the goalie was offered a spot last tryouts why didn't they come over to Integrity then? Why are they waiting? Are you saying the integrity director and coach are willing to cut the two goalies they currently have on Integrity green? I am just trying to understand, not a parent of the goalies or the team just seems like LBC mom is puffing her chest and making unrealistic demands.

LBC mom was emotional when her daughter was a field player 10x worse now that she's a goalie. God bless her daughter and the team she goes to.

New to this thread but this is accurate. Has anyone done a wellness check on her husband?

This makes it sound like the LBC goalie couldn’t get into Spalding unless she was on Integrity, I really really hope that wasn’t some back alley agreement made in that respect.

LBC goalie has a sibling that attends Spalding. Legacy families usually have top priority. Why would the parents want her to go anywhere else? The drive from the shore is already a long drive, driving to one high schools seems logic IMO.

Okay...mom

Legacy family when your kid hasn't even been at the school for a full year? I'm sure quitting LBC midseason, playing for Integrity had nothing to do with it IMO.

Next year should be all club. The high division is awful! Liberty , Towson , Catonsville playing in a jv / 8th grade division. Losing games due to weather with no make up’s. Referees are awful. They don’t know the rules and either stand in one spot or lean against the wall the whole game. Most of the big schools have already pulled out and more will follow. $2200 for that? As for who won , check the website soon as winning team gets their picture posted there. M&D black won the B division and GCS won the A.

No weather makeup and teams not showing up (1-0) def affected the rankings

I think it should be no club, or at least no club coaches. Make it more about having fun. In regards to the standings, what teams in the B Division missed out on the playoffs due to forfeits/weather? It sure looks like the best 8 made the playoffs.

I do not have a problem with club teams playing. You know what you are getting with most winter leagues. Not everyone plays and some girls miss games for other winter sports. Winter leagues are to keep your team chemistry together as much as possible in the off season. Most of these girls do not attend the same high school. If you don't like the format don't play.

Why in the world would the BWI league be all
Club teams ? It is a high school league!!! It was always a high school team league. No club teams played in it until Chris Robsinson let the M&D 8th grade teams play. Then every other club jumped on bandwagon

If you want a winter club league play coppermine indoor. But the BWI league has always been for high school teams

The last game of the season between SW (5th place team) and Integrity(4th place team). Game was canceled due to weather, no makeup. Not presuming SW wins the game but IF they did they would have made the playoffs over Integrity with the same record and head to head. Just providing an example.

Because many HS coaches have pulled out of the league because of the terrible officiating which helped lead to the large number of injuries that occurred during games. CR is going to want to make money so as HS teams stop going he's going to replace them with club teams. HS coaches are much better off using their allotted hours to have weekly practice in fall and winter than playing in that league which is exactly what some of them have done.

The 8th grade teams would be the underdogs. Why do you have a problem with them playing? I'm sure they would rather play in another league but maybe this was the only option for them.

Two 8th grade teams made the B finals, beating high school teams.

My daughter just told me two of her teammates are putting together film .. in 8th grade?!? What is the point of that?! I have two daughters playing college lax. No one cares what you do in 8th grade.Parents... save your money. There will be so many more money grabs along the way.

Why does it bother you? Heros Green dad has been filming his daughter from a ladder since she was 9 or 10. Props to him for his dedication. Maybe they actually watch the film to see what she can do better and improve? You come off as jealous that your daughter has no highlights worth filming. That being said, I agree it is at least a year too early to matter at all for recruiting.

For sure M&D goalie

Probably film for tournament applications

I especially liked the M&D parents trolling the sidelines and yelling at the scorekeeper that she missed a goal. It is indoor lacrosse -most of the girls don't even show for games. Club teams had all the little coaches gathering and the HS teams coach themselves .

Anyone see the guy in black watching 5 year old soccer and going nuts? No goalies and some high school kid reffing the game. This guy thought it was the world cup. Yep just like lax moms

YES!!! Those soccer parents were crazy- I was cracking up. It was like that every Saturday! Yes, they made the lax crazies look a little less crazy.

I film parts of games to to be able to remember these days for I’ll miss them when they are over and my baby girl is all grown up. Nothing to do with putting together videos or possible recruitment. Just to hopefully show her kids their mother playing one day. Everyone does things for their own reasons- good on them.

That’s a loaded question lol! Having watched both for years I would say they are both great competitors and it’s obvious they love playing lax. After that it doesn’t really matter. Let’s leave this one alone. As has been said before, this age group has a lot of good goalies and that is fun to watch.

Nah, let's rank em. These could change in next 2-3 years. Other goalies will develop, girls will get taller, stronger, bigger.

Lets put them on a B team and see how they do.

I would feel sorry for any goalie parent that would feel that way. Would be really sad if they tied that much of their self esteem in such trivial things.

How long has the Hero's goalie been in the cage. The goalie that went to Integrity has only been in the cage for 2 years.

And her strength is her stick skills and aggressiveness, which makes sense.

Although the now Integrity goalie did not play in the goal full time for club she has filled in and played in the goal for rec for years.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with 8th grade teams playing. The previous poster said the league should just be “club” teams. If it’s a high school League then why should it only be clubs teams ?

Huge decision to make- different schools offer options across the board. Big school w ok academics or smaller schools w better academics and smaller lax programs. If we go big and decide it’s not what she is looking for academically/not a great fit, how easy is it to transfer in HS?

If it’s the same as the boys and they are put on varsity they can’t transfer inside the MIAA without some type of exemption. I’m only 90% sure about that rule. Trust but verify.

Colleges want variety, different backgrounds. I say this because academics will get you to a certain level but then there’s a glass ceiling. Choose wisely and maybe think about the happiness of your kids over the best academics. (Not saying send your kid to a dense kids school) but just weighing Bryn Mawr over like a RPCS. Both schools full of homework junkies and mathletes but RPCS might be a bit more of a happier place.

Put academics first and the rest works out. If they are happy, they will perform best in all aspects.

If it is strictly about recruiting, you could make an argument that public school is the best options as some high-academic schools are pushing coaches to bring in more public school kids. That said, for most kids, especially those in baltimore proper, that is probably not the best long-term life decision.

Agree! Academics should be put above any sport. The fact that parents are choosing schools based on the success of a lacrosse team is crazy.

Academics are going to define the success of your kids future not whether they won games as a high school sophomore.

The definition of success for some of these parents is much different then others. Unfortunately winning games as a sophomore is how they measure success. Not GPA

And bragging about your high school for the next 40 years is definition of success to. The rest of the world is concerned with where people went to college - Baltimore people are concerned with what high school you went to

These are already current students moving up from the 8th grade. They are in the middle school currently at NDP and SP.

Top players on SW are not going to NDP or SPSG.

They bought Redshirts so that is who it is.

So TLC and Coppermine just trying to completely remove any other clubs in that area?

Bitmore, Elite, Redshirts, all are gone?

Sadly these teams will never be competitive no matter who buys them out they will always be at the bottom.

Bit more and Elita have not been around for many years. Redshirts was spotty at certain age groups. A lot of clubs get their start and are built around certain age groups

Heros white is nowhere near as good last year but still much better than TLC gold, MC Elite, FCA and maybe another or two

Does anyone know if Crush ends after 8th grade? Curious as to where their stars will end up. Based on geography, i think TLC/SW would probably make the most sense.

As a 7th grade, no way she would start. As a 9th grade, though, I could see he starting on some bottom half teams.

She's very good probably the main reason heros white beat heros green last year
will be curious to see where she goes to high school

Did she leave Hero’s white and go to M&D black? Because that goalie is going to McDonogh next year.

What school did the Heroes Green goalie decide to attend? We know not Spalding because that's reserved for the LBC goalie. Whatever school she decides they will be lucky to have her.

Spalding got the old LBC goalie with the problematic mother. She is now one of Integrity's goalies.

Spaldings goalie is NOT in the class of the other two. Cmon Mom.
Stop trying to put her in that company. She isn't.

Not a parent of any of them, but here's a crazy idea, kids aren't peaking as 13 yr olds, maybe they get better, ,maybe they plateau? We can wait till Senior year to see who is ranked higher but all three are going to help their HS teams.

What tournaments has she won? This isn't tennis, its a team sport.

Not one of you would say this to this girl or her mother. Gossip on the sideline and wont even have the courage to say a word. If you dont put your name to it your posts it's meaningless

Best policy is probably, do not single out individuals and especially not the kids! We all know the kids read this stuff too. Not fair for adults to talk about them and or their parents. Kids can’t help who their parents are. Now, I think the clubs and the extra crazy parents are fair game!

Any exciting or shocking games this weekend?

Not certain if this was shocking but Hero's G beating Stars Light Blue by 8 seems to be a surprise based on the fact that Stars beat them soundly the last time they played. All the other games seemed to go to form.

Stars were missing a good portion of their team and had a bunch of 2027s playing up. I wouldn’t read too much into the results of this one.

Heard Stars was missing girls due to spring break, not sure if that actually was case.

Hero's has been plagued by injuries. They will be a force once again. Loss to stars in fall was an anomaly. When healthy they can beat anyone.

Yes, 5 27s played up because of spring break missing girls

Same with Heros, they were missing some key players

Hero’s wasn’t missing anyone that hasn’t been missing for a long time. Again they find themselves in the weak division and won’t play anyone this spring. Amazing how that always happens.

Fair enough but then the game this past weekend was also an Anomaly. Can't have it both ways.

Except Hero's also beat Stars in the Fall. Both full time games have gone to Hero's. Stars is a good team and will be interesting to see how they do on a consistent basis against more competitive teams (overall their Fall schedule was pretty weak).

You mean the 1st Fall tourney game of the 1st Fall tourney and it was a 1 goal game/loss? But that means Heros is the dominate team here? If you want to discount the 9-0 loss that is fine, but you then can't count the same type of game on the other side with a 10-2 win. The whole "both games went to Heros" doesn't hold water. You can throw out the blowouts and count the close 1 goal game in the beginning of the Fall. Both are good teams and can beat each other on any day, leave it at that.

M&D Black will win it all this season. Stars could be the closest runner up to M&D Black.

Integrity will be a force as well. Deep bench, new LBC girls. Better Goalie.

Is Integrity playing all three goalies?

Not a bad prediction since only 4 or 5 teams have a shot. Stars is in a tough spot though, with the cross-division game being against Heros (a loss). Even if Stars only loses once to M&D, Integrity and Pride combined they could still miss the playoffs.

Gabby Munsell is the best player in the league and there's no question about it.

Integrity will be a force on the second tier. Can't beat the top tier teams.

Why did LBC get dropped down to B division in NGLL. Does winning 25-0 show they are in wrong division?

I saw that and wondered why they moved down. Would be interesting to know why? Maybe they wanted to prove they can win the B division and grow as a team.

Because they literally didn’t have a goalie and lost several field players as well?

Exactly. The coaches, parents and team go off indoor and think by beating Heroes green ONCE and coming within of one point against M&D black they are the next best thing. Indoor success doesn’t mean outdoor success. Integrity will never be in top 5 of teams or come close.

The new Integrity goalie mom only cares about her daughter. She is not concerned about the ripple effect. She'll be quiet for now and befriend all the coaches/parents to get what she wants.

Wow. Wasn't LBC2026 in the top 10 at some point? It is really sad for those girls that chose to stay and be loyal to their friends/teammates. And to know this was caused by someone who used to coach them.
Changed the dynamics at 3 teams.

Not necessarily. That wont be BLC orange's only 20 goal loss in NGLL. Reality is LBC would only win 1 maybe 2 games in A division. They will win all games in the weakest NGLL division. However, I think think M&D Red are probably the favorites.

They lost more than their goalie. Several girls moved to clubs with better recruiting reputations and who played in YJ/STEPS tourneys (LLL,LFTC)

I mean isn't this just about always the case with LBC teams? 2027 is very good, will be interesting to see if they can retain talent. I think 2028 is already low tier B team.

Didnt a bunch go to Integrity? I dont believe they have better recruiting then LBC. I have never heard of any Integrity girls being recruited to good programs but I recall a bunch of the LBC 21's and 20's going D1. I think a couple 26's may have gone to M&D which, of course, has a good rep for recruiting.

Integrity has sent some girls to solid programs, they have a 2023 committed to Duke right now.

I've sent others to Loyola, USC, JMU, etc. I would put them well ahead of LBC in that regard.

LBC has a 21 at UPENN, 21 at Loyola, handful of other mid level D1 teams. They have a 22 committed to Rutgers as well as other mid level D1 schools. My daughter played for LBC and they focus on the player playing for a team that best fits the families needs. A lot of LBC players also have to consider financials when considering a school. The recruiting coordinator pushed my daughter to a D2 school because play time, financially and academically it made sense for my daughter.

Actually the 23 Duke Commit went to a goalie clinic at Duke. She was recruited not because of club play but because she put in the work to go to Duke and participate in their goalie prospect clinics.

Every single goalie gets recruited on in person prospect camps, unless you are the Duke coaches, you have no way to no what sparked the interest or how much involvement the club was.

Get back to the point. Integrity isn't going to be top tier. One player in one class isn't proof of a great run program.
Give them a decade of production and this can become valid. Right now, it's a disgruntled parent trying to convince us otherwise.

KEY word in this statement is I've.. So this makes me think this is Integrity staff making this comment. Desperately trying to save face of their club. We all know the damage is done. You lost trust of your 26 team, parents and future lacrosse players. No need to come on this forum and toot your horn in hopes of undoing the damage your club has caused. People are talking and future lacrosse players are looking at other schools, not Spalding, future club players are looking at other clubs not Integrity. So your sentence should read "I've lost trust of my club and players".

Actually it was a typo. I don’t have a kid on Integrity, I’m simply comparing LBC to Integrity based on my experience and knowledge. Nobody saying Integrity is a great run club either, not best in county either.

Tyranny shredded Heroes White because the club didn’t want 2 good A teams. Yet Heroes White was forced to stay in A division despite 3/4 of the team going to 4-5 different teams this year. All the tile effects in those clubs. And White is struggling.

Ranked higher alphabetically, if you look closer.

Green is a mirage that will hide again this spring and get exposed when the real games start.

Pretty sure the last tournament Green won was NGLL's last spring. They didn't win any last summer or fall, correct? So, is that struggling, or not?

Really. Cause you are nosey and don’t really need to know an answer you put on a public board ?

Don’t worry the one girl on M and D black will post it on social media, and most likely her dad was the one who was supposed to coach but got passed over. Like he did for his gig coaching his daughters HS JV team. Ask your daughters I’m sure they know.

Randall is the new coach. Congrats Randall!!

Hero's Green vs HOCO Black on Sat
Hero's Green vs Sky Walkers on Sunday

Pride vs Stars

Hero's G vs Hoco Black are 1-2 in their division which could be interesting even though Hero's G will probably take the W. Other interesting game is Pride vs Stars. 3 of Pride's top players went to Stars this year so there might be a little extra motivation for Pride.

I would be shocked if Stars lost this game.

This comment must be coming from the other goalies mom… jealous much?

This must be LBC owners. Same rhetoric-same story . just look in the mirror for once. Stop the blame. It has nothing to do with one person leaving. There were 7 excellent players that left over the last 2 years. The coaches daughter hung on and was the last to leave.

BLC Orange knows they should not be playing in this league. I think they were misguided by the owners. Awful for those players to continue.

Who’s deflecting?? Maybe if the LBC owners got off of this site and stopped badmouthing their previous players and coaches they could retain their talent.

LBC is not even competing in the same bracket or part of this current thread. Not sure why people are randomly throwing them in there unless they just want to bash them. Move on.

Common thread for BLC unfortunately. They made BLC Orange teams to be a club teams, so they can take more money, when 0 of them should be club. It's not fair to the kids.

American Select Tryouts for the 2026 grad year is Sunday May 15th at the Maryland Polo Grounds. 2pm-6pm if anyone is interested. I'm pretty sure they have walk up registration.

Stars by 1. Scored 2 goals late to win.

You must be new to lax. Clubs like M&D , Heros and Sw play there to compete and compete well with top clubs. They are pretty successful. Integrity better have more than a goalie.

Interesting because integrity has TWO goalies. The last game I happened to watch the LBC goalie let in more goals and is def weaker in this area. However she is more of an aggressive goalie and can come out of the goal and cause turnovers. The other goalie had more saves and less goals. The original goalie is a better goalie but no one sees it because of the LBC goalie mom.

You can’t really be that dense.

Which of the 3 goalies they have is the top one?

The score have been 11-3, 14-4 and 17-2 so the goalies must be doing something right.

To suggest the M&D Black and Hero's Green goalies are not the top goalies in the league is the most idiotic thing I have heard. No matter what their schedule is they will come out on top. It's not like Integrity has had a tough schedule either. It's spring league and no matter what you think a lot of girls play in big soccer tournaments in the spring. Integrity goalie moms need to get over themselves. Former Integrity goalie who is now at SW should be glad she left this crazy team. Sounds like the LBC goalie mom has carried over all of her drama.

Look at the teams you have played, really? You are going off those scores playing easy teams. Playing against harder teams your goalies either can hang with the best or not. Plain and simple. So playing M&D this weekend will be the true test. Don’t boast about playing easy teams, it’s the challenging teams that show true success.

Not really. I doubt they faced more than 7 shots in any of those games.

Exactly. Scores are not indicative of a goalies performance. One goalie may face 6 shots and another may face 20+. Unless you have save percentages, scores, especially if they are that lop sides, are not an indication of a goalies performance.

Truth.

M&D-Integrity should be a close one since both teams have not been challenged yet. The winner should have the inside track for the #1 seed from the South Division. The lost will be ok IMO, since I predict Pride will be the ones missing the playoffs in that more difficult division. The last spot will probably come down to a tiebreaker. After head-to-head, is it goals against or goal differential?

In the North Division, Hoco-NEMS are playing a critical game for the playoffs. Like the South, it is a 4 team hunt for 3 playoff spots. We will see if SW can get it together towards the end of the season when they face NEMS and Hoco in the last few weeks.

what's the definition of close for M&D vs Integrity? Prediction could be M&D 13-6
Is that close?

The club team with all the goalie and mama drama. A battle will only be for the first few minutes and then they will fizzle out. Trust me M&D Black will take the win.

Looks like Goalie mom is right. Integrity spanked M&D again.

If tourney machine is correct it appears M&D 26 knows who Integrity is.

So what happened? Tourney Machine is not updated yet

So I am hearing it was 8-6 win for integrity? Any truth to this?

Integrity goalie > M&D goalie.

Integrity won 8-6. Integrity jumped out to a 4-0 lead then M&D tied it up 4-4. Then Integrity went back up 8-4 before M&D scored final 2 to make it 8-6.

Integrity is the next best thing. Hero's is the next target because now Integrity owns M&D.

So what you’re saying is Integrity pretty much lead lead the whole time. I can imagine the M&D camera guy was pretty quiet and the M&D rules dad in the stand in his quarter zip were pretty quiet

No the quit today. Why? Because goalie mom, Spalding coaches and integrity coaches made sure to make life miserable for her to get her to quit. Classless club.

Goalie mom has now run off the other two Integrity goalies. Integrity now has one goalie but at least they have goalie mom.

I can see why you are not well liked. Keep commenting because people are taking notes and taking all this to Spalding admin and the board.

Look goalie moms and dads…on high school and good middle school clubs split playing time doesn’t exist unless players are equals. Complaining that your child doesn’t play for half the game is ridiculous and every high school coach won’t touch you or your daughter if you are currently crying over that. Lax world is small. Coaches talk. Keep it classy and teach your daughters not to whine or pout when not played. Stay on the team, cheer, and stink it up people. Don’t show your daughters how to be Classless and high maintenance. Good luck.

I’m calling BS on this comment. No top 20 program “promises” equal playing time.

Dear coaches, take a hard look. Love all our parents that put the mental health of our kids first

M&d parents making excuses for losing is rich. You all set yourselves up for this now take it.

I have 2 children at 2 different top 20 clubs both of their goalies split time. It's not always in our favor but they are both good goalies. One can definitely half an off day but they still play. Their clubs make sure they are there to be seen by college coaches. We are over winning a t-shirt and running to the the car to post on social media. High school is different. They play to win.

The lame excuse M&D is using… they lost because their coach wasn’t there to lead them to a victory. Basically Integrity showed that the M&D goalie and their defense has holes and they were able play a better game.

Great, give out the championship now. In the end Integrity will still be Integrity, no one cares. And funny that the Hero's folks are commenting.

I Have no dog in this fight. But I kind of want to see these two teams play so I can watch the stands and see a good Circus. I am sure both clubs and teams have great kids and families. But the few of you on each team. WOW, over 8th-grade girls lacrosse. Lol. I mean, how would your co-workers and bosses feel seeing you act like this. I would be completely embarrassed as an adult to be fighting like this over a youth middle school game. Please don't stop, though. This is enjoyable to read just wish it had audio and pictures too!

if true, what club wants a quitter and to adopt that drama? Again, higher level play at high school means playing time isn’t equal. As a parent, I’d make my kid stand up for their space and at least finish the spring season. Not a great way to start looking for a spot.

I’m affiliated with a younger Integrity team. The club and this team have worked hard to improve. Respect is earned. Obnoxious comments from purported integrity parents are intolerable. Free speech and anonymity allow for a select one or two outspoken individuals to cast this team in a negative light. Unfortunate and not representative of what the club stands for.

Healthy competition and high level lax is something we are blessed to be a part of in this region - especially in the 2026 age group. My disgust for the negativity and trash talking compelled me to comment.

If I knew how to insert the gif of the guy eating popcorn I would. Sounds like it was a great game. Congrats to both teams. 2026 is definitely an age group with tons of talent.

There’s talent in all the divisions. I was at HoCo last week and on my way out was mightily impressed with that Wolfpack team. Where are they from? Good players all around!

Who is Wolfpack?

I always thought Wolfpack was the rec name that M&D players used if entering a tournament M&D was not in, but maybe that’s younger ages only.

But yes the LBC, now Integrity goalie didn’t finish the season. I would be kissed too if my daughter was replaced the middle of the season. Who wants their daughter to play for integrity where they lack, integrity and just replace you mid season?

I guess the better of the two goalies was the one who quit the integrity Green Team by that score that just posted!

Integrity is like a passing fad with15 minutes of fame this spring and then reality sets in. They aren't as good as they think they are.

Kind of like a fart in the wind!

Love seeing inflated egos crushed
Their posts were beyond obnoxious two weeks ago blasting MND w pics of fouls and MND girls falling plastered all over blue/green social media. Come on blue/Green- where’s those obnoxious pics today taking girls out?

I saw that w the MND Goalie too- I really felt bad she was all over social media mid air on that foul. That’s was such an obnoxious post- and the fire emojis underneath. I don’t think #54 or parent posted it though- kids were passing it around

Pride comes before the fall. And yes, only two saves by the second coming.

Stars is the rightful owner of that #1 spot! Good clean competition, they didn’t resort to the dirty play of others. Parents were appalling yelling for their blue/green to take down the stars players. When you don’t have skill to catch or throw, teach your kids, don’t tell them to play dirty people!! And it helps to be able to stop a ball in goal! With that girl in goal, all you have to do is shoot to win the game

They won’t have any skin in the game if they make playoffs and no backup to save her. I’m sure they are kicking themselves for chasing the other two out, but Mom got her way.

They will need to beat Pride. If they don’t it’s likely both them and pride will have 2 losses and Pride would take head to head.

Not a lot of love for a club that seems to double screw people both in HS and all club ages. Old owner habits and reputation are carrying right down through the younger years. My older daughter wouldn’t touch the club and felt it w playing time at the HS. I wouldn’t mind seeing the old man lose this one too, along w his mommy ball friend

I agree 100%. It’s a shame that they are toxic group of coaches and club owners. It’s sad when we think about mental health and society wants to blame the athletes for not reaching out and getting the help. No look at the toxic cultures some clubs, coaches and parents bring to the table. Integrity is a prime example and they have had this culture for years. Do better!! Such a shame this is how sports is turning and it will only get worse.

Such detest for a team that has beaten both M&D and Heros at various times this year. Maybe they were able to do so through their actions and not by making people happy. It’s a competitive sport.

What a shame. The team left out would trounce the #2 and 3 seeds from the North.

Oh no, Integrity. Better get it together before the big game next weekend- may want to pull up that 27 goalie for help

In B division. There is M&D red that is clearly not in the right division. They are winning by 11+ average per game (actual GD of 78 over 7 games). Yes it’s the first year for the 26 red team, but it is almost entirely made up of A level players from last years M&D, Hero’s White, and other A level teams. Hero’s white should have been in B bracket after losing essentially the whole team from last year. There is too much of a gap among the B teams that the stronger B teams aren’t getting to play other strong teams. Better to play harder teams and lose them to always win by double digits. They could have made 3 A level groups and just 2 B levels.

I have watched this team play a few weeks in a row. I would say M&D Red has 5 Or 6 A players the rest B and C players and the goalies well that’s another problem for the team. Playing easy teams isn’t helping them get better. The lower players and goalies will not be able to play against harder teams and then frustration sets in and we all know it goes down hill. I do agree about redoing the brackets and having different divisions. Then again Robinson sold out so he really doesn’t care but maybe 3Step will do something about this in the future.

Robinson could have made different level groups for the teams, maybe take the models how the boys do theirs.. Elite, AAA,AA and so on. However that would require thinking and work and Robinson would rather do easy then hard. He sold out and doesn’t care. The M and D program doesn’t even have a tryout date OR summer practices on the schedule. So he sold out and you can tell by the lack care for the club.

Thanks Coach.

If you think your team is truly that good, why not just scrimmage your A team to see how you really stack up?

Can’t leave those goalies alone, can you? Worry about your own team.

I have watched this team play a few weeks in a row. I would say M&D Red has 5 Or 6 A players the rest B and C players and the goalies well that’s another problem for the team. Playing easy teams isn’t helping them get better. The lower players and goalies will not be able to play against harder teams and then frustration sets in and we all know it goes down hill. I do agree about redoing the brackets and having different divisions. Then again Robinson sold out so he really doesn’t care but maybe 3Step will do something about this in the future.

I agree with everything you are saying, however for this age group it doesn’t matter anymore. This is their last NGLL season and it’s just tournaments for them going forward.

TLC gave Integrity a fight with only 2 subs. Integrity had 13 girls on the sideline…..hopefully TLC gets more girls at tryouts- great potential!

Is the 9-8 score between TLC Gold and Integrity right? Can't believe TLC Gold which hasnt come close to winning a game this year game Integrity a game.

Black team parents and coaches refuse to scrimmage or have anything to do with the red team. So you can go take your comment and think again. The red team would love to scrimmage.

A scrimmage to allow girls to compete and improve would be welcome for sure. Leave the parents locked out so they don’t create a circus would be ideal. Lots of mnd teams have 2 very good teams that practice together some.

If Integrity loses to Pride they will fall behind them if it is GA. Their only hope would be a high scoring M&D Stars game. Unless tie breaker isn’t GA first.

Here are the tiebreakers for NGLL.

1. [(#Wins + 0.5*#Ties)/(#Wins + #Losses + #Ties)]

2. Head to Head Competition (if there is a three way tie in head to head competition, that
tiebreaker is thrown out).
3. Goals allowed against in-division opponents
4. Goals differential against in-division opponents (maximum score difference of 10 per game)
5. Goals allowed against all opponents
6. Goals differential against all opponents (maximum score difference of 10 per game)
7. 23 minute tie break game on the first day of the playoffs.

In #2 in a 3 way tie if one team is 2-0 one is 1-1 and other 0-2 against each other is that considered head to head or is #2 skipped if three way tie?

In your scenario I read it as the 2-0 team would advance. #2 is thrown out if the three teams go 1-1 against each other.

It's time to give this argument a rest, especially since it was started by a troll not affiliated with the club.

That being said, it looks like Red will get to prove itself at Live Love Lax versus Stars Light Blue and HoCo Black.

Gotta love how everyone worries about Integrity!!!! Its nice to know we are living rent free in your heads

If the last two flops were any indicator, the new coach and LBC additions are more harm than good. Three top teams in playoffs will be Pride, MND, Stars. They are by far more skilled teams. Although a clean rematch would be nice vs integrity, don’t think it’s in their cards

Based on prior top A team scores, odds are def in favor of Pride. Deeper team too. Integrity doesn’t sub and morale on team is not good- Pride will outplay them
Stars will come out on top w this one, it’ll be close at first

Looks like the initial prediction came true as Pride won by 2 over Integrity.

Integrity lost today because we didn’t have one of our best players. A soccer conflict and was playing elsewhere today. We would have won hands down. Integrity will see you all in the summer, and will again be on top.

Please stop with your excuses. Your team is garbage and habits with this group will not change. The good players on your team will look for a full committed team and the part time laxers/ soccer in spring players will be in B level.

Yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night for the next month. Too funny. Never were on top. And to quote someone here from last month: “making excuses for losing is rich. You all set yourselves up for this now take it.”[/quote]

I assume this is a kid and not a parent with the original excuse. But if a parent, if one girl causes your team to lose to a team then maybe your “team” really isn’t that good. How is it going to go when that girl leaves for soccer or another girl goes to a team who does make the playoffs. Good luck in the summer. Oh and if this is a kid, I suggest you stay off this site as we are all not helping your anxiety

This website is just wrong, people on this website should be be gossiping about other teams or throwing negative comments out, children on teams do see this, and it throws negative thoughts in there head, people on this website should just be talking about schedules, or where there gonna be in the summer tournament wise, not calling someone a karen or snowflake, or saying a team is trash, or making excuses, Everyone should support eachother and not bring others down! Come on parents we’re batter then this!!!

It’s not soccer season, it’s lacrosse season. Those girls should’ve been at your game. Lacrosse is not their priority. If you want to be an elite team, the spring sport should be the priority. See you this summer.

The only reason most come here is for the negative comments and Gossip?!?! ............ Snowflake

Everyone gets a trophy LOL. This site is for gossiping and most parents want to hear the good and bad about clubs and schools etc.

All the negative commenters - put your money where your mouth is. Step up and identify yourself...First name, Last name & Club. But you won't, because you're spineless losers that get off on talking trash about 14 year old girls. And for the record, I have NO skin in this game!

"Integrity lost today because we didn’t have one of our best players. A soccer conflict and was playing elsewhere today. We would have won hands down. Integrity will see you all in the summer, and will again be on top."

one player down and they cant win?? teams facing Integrity going into summer now know who to shut down.

Stars always plays in lower divisions than it should and doesn't play big summer tourneys like Lax for the Cure and Summer Genesis. At least they are playing G8 this year.

The only good player is the coaches daughter.

Mid Atlantic is very high competition and just because they didn’t make it to playoffs doesn’t make them a bad team. Stars, Integrity and Pride were all 6-2 and it came down to head to head and GD.

Just you wait.. Integrity will see you guys this summer. Every team has their bad days and that okay. In the grand scheme of things they are ONLY 14 years old and playing the sport they love.

Way to answer the question, bub. And so nicely. Maybe you meant that it depends if the coach will stay or if his daughter will want to get away from daddy-ball and upgrade to Skywalkers, NEMS, etc.

Does anyone have tryout dates for any of the clubs? Does Heros have tryouts? M&D? Skywalkers?

What is this nonsense?

Are all the top team tryouts the same week? Trying out for a few teams- changing teams for the first time and curious how it works when they overlap?

Club owner/ HS coach having any negative post taken down about their school/club, mentioning either by name. This post won’t last long either- can’t take the criticism or the truth

Big advantage to go first at tryouts so Clubs race to be first. Schedule the same time etc. It is awful. Find the best fit advice is almost impossible because tryouts are all the same days and there is a hard sell to commit before you can tryout someplace else. Demanded loyalty 360 days of the year tryouts over 3 days, commit in 24 hours. Maybe teams should have open practice week in last week of June. Where girls can go and practice with other teams for a day, Something like that. Current situation really hurts the players. Full credit to any girl or family that tries to leave a team in this current environment it is quite courageous.

First off, anyone serious about switching clubs (at least for an A team level) has already worked in with them during the summer. Tryouts are really focused on being a cash grab and rounding out B teams.

Also, compared to other regions, MD team tend to lock their rosters later than others. Many top NY/NJ/PA teams have their last "open" tryout for incoming 8th graders. Wouldn't mind if MD did the same -- probably works out best for all involved and significantly reduces club jumping. Would also incent good players to get on better teams earlier.

In the current situation, if I was a top club, here is what I would do -- Make offers to all of your players who want back next year. Tell them if they committ now, they don't have to tryout and require a decent sized deposit before tryouts. If they don't accept, they can tryout, but no guarantees.

Ask to work in with your targeted teams in the early summer to get a sense of where you would fit in terms of culture and playing ability.

It’s a shame. They have money, toxic tongues, and get what they want. Can’t say the truth because the truth hurts, yet they are hurting the spirit of the girls, the sport, and their health.

History says there will be much less movement this year and less and less every year from now. The years after 6th and 7th grade tend to be the ones with most movement.

The biggest X fact as always is girls from Pride and Stars who don't make Capital Blue who are looking for an MD based club. Will impact middle tier clubs south on BWI more than others.

Ask to work in with your targeted teams in the early summer to get a sense of where you would fit in terms of culture and playing ability.

Would teams like M&D and Heros do that this year??

Have never heard a club say no. Actually probably better to do it at end of spring season compared to during summer when practices are usually just glorified walk throughs

Hero's does it all the time. 25 played SW White last year, practiced all summer with Heros Green

She did not practice all summer with Hero's Green.

M and D Red will fold. Some girls will be trying out at other clubs, coaching staff wanting to move to the black team, parents and players are toxic. SR is not forth coming with details, and not answering questions.

This rumor was posted previously on Page 69. Red coaches become the black coaches. Maybe the band aid is being ripped off.

Actually a Black M and D parent. They are spreading false info so the Red team will fold. Why? Because they know their kid has a chance of getting cut from the team. Eliminate the red team so the black team coaches won’t demote anyone to Red. It’s their twisted thinking. They are all fake and all entitled parents and kids.

Moving to the area in the summer and looking at lacrosse programs. Will Heros Green take any new girls? Is it a waste of time to tryout? Parents said M and D not taking on new girls but will hold tryouts. SW taking new girls or keeping the same team? Just looking at options before paying for tryout fees.

Any club will take you if you are good enough. However, for those programs good enough may be mean being one of the top 100 2026 girls in the country. If you aren't playing on a top 15 club right now, I would not bother unless you are ok with B team.

Based on history of the top programs, SW takes the most new girls at this age level.

If your daughter is good enough i’m sure these teams will consider taking her, idk if you’ll want to go to SW considering the amount they just lost to price by but i’m sure if your daughter is an A level player these teams will take her

M&D will take new girls for sure. Especially if talented. Parents are saying that to save a spot for their daughter. Look for 3-4 changes on Black this summer. Happens with all top teams.

If your girl is better than current players she should make any team she tries out for. Don’t believe many rosters are locked in for 22/23 season.

Where’s the best chance to make goalie in MD if you are looking to switch? Do any teams carry three in high school?

Sw looking for a goalie

Most of the SW starters were on the sidelines for the playoff game. The team is coached by coaches that don’t concentrate on NGLL games, but care more about summer tournaments.
Players don’t get recruited from NGLL.

No. Unless they currently have 1 of their 2 goalies out with a major injury they may consider it. M&D Black only has 1 after 1 left halfway through the season.

Players don’t get recruited in 8th grade either!

Watched SW play this weekend and I have no skin in the game here... Plenty of talent on that team but the absence of a top notch, quality goalie makes it tough. A good goalie would bring that team much closer to the top teams.

that's what makes a team like Hero's Green so good, as they are talented, but they also have the best goalie in this class.
Wish we had her.

Nobody getting recruited at 26 level in NGLL or summer. By the looks they will have trouble competing in summer too. They aren’t very well coached.

I’m guessing that was written by a 13/14 year old.

NGLL this weekend and two good matchups with Heros Green vs Stars, M&D vs. Pride.

Really a toss-up. Both games could go either way. M&D/Pride game will definitely be a close one. Prediction...HG over M&D in final.

Stars lost by alot to heros eariler at NGLL. No difference this time around Heros in a romp
M&D barely beat pride and just don't score enough against good teams. Pride by 2.

Heros beats Pride by 8.

Hero’s beat Nems 8-5, this isn’t fourth grade anymore. Stars vs Pride final.

The starters on the sideline were on Pride cause the score was out of hand.

See that no one picked M&D looks like their shakeup didn't work.

I agree. Hero's is not what they use to be. All of their teams start off strong. but clubs catch up and some clubs pass them.. This team will be no different. They are talented, but do not seem to be improving.

M&D red on track to win B Division very easily. They should be moved up to A level in summer tournaments. that will force competition between Black & Red. Then M&D will face same dilemma that Heros White had last year. They wont want to take 2 A level teams to recruiting tournaments. That is why Heros club forced White to disband. The high level players on MD Red will be seeking teams that will get them in better showcase tourneys. Heros White should be back in B division for tournaments this summer.

Moving forward is a club allowed to enter two A level teams or does one have to be in B bracket? If they can take two A- wouldn’t all the players remain?

If Red makes it the final game, a lot of the team will not be there as they are going to the UA tryouts. That goes for the coach and goalies. So who knows the outcome at this point.

That would be silly. Very few 26's will make the UA team. I think 2 25s made it last year - both from A teams. Last chance at an NGLL title (even if it's B).

They will be gone by Call back time. Most of call backs will be 25 players that are more talented.

M&D Red is not comparable to last years Heros' white team. The white team had way more talent than the current M&D red team

This. If any 26s make it, it will be from the top A teams. 26s should have focused on American Select if making a showcase was important.

I can read thank you! IF they win let’s wait to see what those players decide to do.

I would hope playing with your team and coaching your team in the championship game in the last season in the NGLL would be more important than anything else, especially when they are not even recruiting age yet. Team>me

If my kid was playing in a championship game and kids were missing for an individual showcase, yeah, we'd have a problem.

Something tells me this is being overblown. If not, I'd cut all of them.

Not even worried about Saturday. We’re already looking ahead to Sunday. We’re that good.

No one will be missing any games though, the younger age group ends at 2 and its less then 20 minutes from the where the NGLL games are. I'm sure the girls attending the tryout will be plenty warmed up from being at there.

You had me at drive times. You all sound too stressed about doing both tryouts and the games your girls (not you) haven’t won on Saturday to be there in time for on Sunday.

The difference is Heros white was able to beat their A team, Heros Green. Red wouldn't be able to do the same to their A team, not even close.

Great call out... The White team was able to be the Green team. The Hero's director probably wished she didn't screw that situation up! I guess that is what happens when you listen to the Green coach winning... Oh well, Go Black and Red!

The red team is well aware and knows they can’t beat the black team. Not one red team player or parent has ever said that the red team could beat them. For goodness sakes the club and A parents treat the red team like a thorn in their side. Move on.

Clubs can have 2 clubs in an A NGLL brackets. For tournaments, they can both play in high brackets, but most tourney organizers require them in separate brackets

It was such a poor attempt to stir up and portray drama where there isn't any. Someone is bitter or just hates M&D. Red likes their coaches, and nothing is changing on that front. There is no band-aid to be ripped off. Move along now.

The coach you’re referring to is the Assistant Coach. His daughter is the head coach. Both are coaching w no compensation out of the kindness of their hearts (and doing a great job). Strange that people are on here debating the decision of a grown man volunteering for peoples kids. SMH

At tryouts. With tons of girls from other clubs, including Heros Green. Great coaches at M&D.

M&D Black with an impressive 8-5 win over Hero’s.

No need. Both are great representation of the M&D club name. Teaching and developing some really good lax players. If they do scrimmage it will be to help both teams improve. Doubt you will be invited since you only want the result to stir stuff up. Enjoy your summer.

Just want to see M&D Red get humbled.

Outside observer. Black and Green was a good game. Black is just playing much better as a team over the past year. Both have talented players, but the Black team seems to respond better to their coaching. Hero's D seemed a bit slower than when I have seen them before and there was a lot of communication.

It was a Great game!! Both teams gave 150% the entire game never letting up. Both goalies are impressive. Both teams are impressive to watch.

MD red should be in A division. The majority of the players were on A teams previously. Staying in B does not serve their players well going into HS and future recruiting. In the end ones W-L record is not an indication of how good you are. You need to face tougher opponents to show your true strength.

"dominating" in B division is not an accomplishment. M&D club as the benefit of reputation and tradition. They can be much more selective in filing out their teams and will only end up taking the top players. Its less about the quality of the coaches than the actual talent they sign. If it was just the coaches, and if you could swap coaches with another club team, you would not get the same results.

They have 2 seasons before being recruited. If this is not your team don’t worry about them. If it is your team talk to your coach about the plan going forward.

First year team. Building it up. I’m sure they will take on more challenges. Coaches connected a very talented group to play like a team. Won a game handily yesterday vs a team they lost to twice in the fall. Nobody of matter is concerned about accomplishments other than kids getting better and having a good time. Everyone loses / humbled in their career so your wish will come true. You are right about coaching. Players win , coaches only lose games.

Totally disagree with this. You don't think Mary Gagnon who I think everyone can agree is the best high school coach in the state of Maryland right now hasn't made a huge difference with the M&D Black team?

You don’t think these girls are humbled? How about being demoted from black to red. How about still showing up for their team even though embarrassed for being demoted. How about trying to save face and putting on a brave face when they see the black team pointing fingers and snickering behind their backs, how about have to start over in a B division and division they didn’t belong in. Humble? How about holding their heads high and setting a goal to win their division. Learned a life lesson this season. You could learn a thing or two about being humble. Karma could be your friend in the future.

Awwww did your daughter’s feelings get hurt when we played her team. Are you upset because because your team should have been in the C division or in the rec league. Maybe croquet or tennis might be a better fit for you and your daughter. Don’t come on this forum and talk about a group of girls needing to be humble. They are humble and have proved it with grace and class.

You think we wanted to be in the B division!! NGLL said absolutely NOT to our request to be in the A division. So don’t think this was our doing but look at SR and CR for denning us any competition this spring. It was a waste of gas and time. Now the girls will get to work for this summer and will play competitive teams.

Denying you? What does it benefit the Robinsons to hold their own club team down to beat up on teams and not have the great M&D 26 teams together in the A?? Maybe when they really looked at the roster after fall season, they felt it was better to have a successful spring season than a losing one? Go enjoy your last NGLL championship win. Good luck this summer competing against A teams.

Well since you seem to have some hostility toward the red team… why don’t you ask SR and CR. Ok? Yes we were denied because the red team was a new team, and we had to stay in the B division. You don’t know anything about the red team, unless you are a salty sally on our team and maybe trying to start drama. Whoever you are I can say this, the red team will try their best this summer learn a lot about themselves and being a team. Lose more games then win but at the end of the day they will walk away as a team and hold their head high, support each other and learn about lacrosse from their knowledgeable coaches. Worry about your daughter and her team stop trying to bring us down.

Demoted ? Could she have been placed correctly on a 2nd team? Funny how the parents are the only ones that can evaluate where their daughter belongs. Half the reason coaches are moving on. Clueless parents telling them who should be on their team. Take it as a life skill. The parents are the ones that are embarrassed for absolutely no reason.

Lets be honest this team has improved a lot since the fall.

Remember they lost to a 26/27 team from the midwest and MC Elite in Fall Mid Atlantic .

Based on that, it would have been tough to argue they belong in the A Bracket.

Wasn’t based on those games… but you keep doing you boo. Why don’t you worry about your daughter and how she is progressing as a person and player. You know nothing about the red team and why we are in the divisions we are in. Check yourself Haus

So you can't even take a complement on improving from fall to spring? and clearly can't take any criticism. The internet may not be for you.

Post your daughters schedule. I’ll be waiting for your response. Even though we know you won’t because you are a little man behind a computer with his little keyboard.

What does "Half the reason coaches are moving on" mean? The coaches of Red are leaving? That can't be true.

I have to ask what that means? Don’t know how that affects play on the field. Her team won so it must be a good thing.

Hero’s: Week of July 11
M&D: July 11-13
Skywalkers: July 18-20

Outside observer...don't find it to be rude. Not everyone has the info at hand, and it's just as easy to go to each club's website for this information. As long as it took that person to post on here, they could have gone to M&D, Hero's, etc site and found out the info. Hero's has it on their front page for goodness sake.

MG showed up at 1 or 2 practices all spring. Credit should go with the coach that was with them and coached them through the season. MG showed up at the end.

Really? You think? I can’t see Heros Green girls trying out. Maybe? I bet they will have tryouts during the week like last year and not on the actual tryout day. The MDU goalie dad has made it clear his daughter will be at the Heros green tryout and M and D black team. He was positioning himself well with all the parents this past weekend. He has the Little man annoying syndrome.

No youth nationals that week for HG this year, so they will set their tryouts for the exact nights as M&D to try to prevent this. Or the club will privately give out invites to everyone they want back before any tryouts occur. That's how they do things.

OP is mocking an Instagram post. No one seemed to get the joke, which is okay cause it wasn’t funny.

Totally disagree with this. You don't think Mary Gagnon who I think everyone can agree is the best high school coach in the state of Maryland right now hasn't made a huge difference with the M&D Black team?

She's best high school coach? Is that why she brought in a new OC half way through the season?

New OC brought in to take over the program Spring of 2024.

#6 is the sixth best attacker on that team.
Might as well be the hype girl

Yeah a dream job. Making $5000 a year coaching and then having to charge spsg girls to train them out of season. No other schools players will use him them. Kinda like kids stopped going to the MCD coach for draw lessons in high school.

Wow, the jealousy towards black & red is on full display right now.

Maybe on that team but NOT as good as you think. Her bad attitude, not a team player and a salty mouth knock her down a few ranks.

Did she play and help her team beat yours ? From what I read on here M&D was worse than Integrity , stars , pride and Heros but her team won. I bet her family is worried she doesn’t measure up to your elite daughter.

She doesn’t measure up and that’s why a lot of girls are going to try out for your team. There are better girls coming and you know it

Let's be honest, many of these girls didn't try out for UA because of the NGLL Championship. How many made AS though?

Let's be honest, many of these girls didn't try out for UA because of the NGLL Championship. How many made AS though?

Let’s be honest, all the girls you are talking about will somehow find out they are getting bashed on BOTC, because BOTC is mainstream now. Everyone knows about it. Everyone reads it, including the girls you trash. And we wonder why there is a mental health issue amongst athletes. JFC. JUST STOP.

What elite girls are you even talking about? So silly. Do you even know who tried out for UA? I doubt HG and Black since they were playing in the championship game that day (at the same time?). And if a girl already made and accepted AS, there was no point in trying out for UA especially knowing they would only take one or two 2026s.

She doesn’t measure up and that’s why a lot of girls are going to try out for your team. There are better girls coming and you know it

Save your time and money unless you are on Heros green. There was no better out there.

Lots of Hero’s girls on AS and who are going to tryout at M&D. You got the green cuts last year but this years turnout will have some real players

I agree.

Best club for goalies? Who offers goalie coaches at practice?

Heard the same. Current Green players are looking for a new home. Green politics are a lot even for club lax standards.

M&D, Skywalkers, MD United all have great reputations for getting goalies into D1 programs.

MND does not. MDU Skywalkers and CC Lax does, Heros sometimes does

Integrity doesn’t have any specialized coaching….and goalie addition to blue green didn’t seem to help the team, so no thank you. How about Heros? I heard they did?

Hero's does not have goalie coaching at practice. They sometimes hold some outside goalie coaching but very rare.

Referee in 2026 B NGLL nationals final. Does she now or did she have a daughter in M&D club?

No she does not nor do we know who she was. What’s your point? Let me guess… Eaglestix are upset you lost. Even though we out played your team. While your at it, clean up the swinging of the sticks and head checks. Dirty play is not cool.

You mean how Integrity treats their goalies. LBC didn’t do anything wrong. The LBC goalie mom and daughter left and went to Integrity and forced out the two goalies so she could be the STAR of the team

If she could stop a ball she would be the star, but she is FAR from that. LBC did treated her right. She tried to ride another successful team and brought that one down too. Tournament season and MND Black take two

Integrity beat LBC at Spooky Nook 22-2. So of course she was going to jump ship mid year….she needed to hide her lack of talent behind a different team. The coaches and club owner know they made a big mistake taking on a third goalie and then losing two of their own….which is why they have been actively trying to find a backup goalie- your not being sly w the recruiting.

M&D complaining about dirty play 🤣. Did you see the injuries caused by M&D in the A game?

M&D has a great goalie coach. Goalies from all teams line up to get private lessons with him

Change of subject-All of MDU club is under True lacrosse online. Did Bev sell the club?

Nothing happened. Maybe if the south lacrosse teams would STOP fake flopping like a soccer player. The refs called a fair game/games. All this is parents upset they had to come to MD and play lacrosse and lost.

She did not sell. Its a partnership with True. They will remain MDU, True is going to take over the administration aspect, jerseys, apparel, social media, etc.

Was Skywalker's not carrying 2 goalies at the time? Is there more trickle down as a result.

Most of the clubs will tell you that they offer goalie coaching but the reality is that most never live up to that promise unfortunately. You might get 1 practice with a goalie coach per season when they said it would be "monthly" or whatnot. Smoke & Mirrors. I think all programs should be 1/2 price for goalies and then parents can use that extra savings to get private coaching for their goalie.

Maryland United has goalie coaches at every prax. At least 3 sometimes 4. They work with all goalies for about 30 min at start of prax. They are excellent.

All three clubs have history of great goalie play at college level. M&D speaks for itself, you got current MD goalie and future MD goalie (SW) then MDU with multiple starting D1 goalies in top-15 of save % this year and last year's saves leader in all of D1.

Skywalkers has a goalie coaches for each practice- goalies do an hour with that coach and then scrimmage with the team.

Actually only the 4th goalie coach is a college girl. The other 3 have been here a long time. Full time coaches.

What is needed is Goalie counselors. Look at the trainwreck that happened last year with heros white where the poor kid cracked under the pressure.
it isn't going to be easier when the expectations are higher, competition is better and better goalies tryout for the position.

Pretty poor attempt to put someone down. Didn’t HW beat HG to win a tournament last summer and now that same goalie just won the NGLL national championship?

You all need to STOP referring to specific kids!!!! Especially if you are an adult! Very irresponsible and very wrong! Just stop!

I suggest you look back at the start of this blog and see how many players were directly and indirectly called out and named. If you want things to change, maybe work with admin to set rules but until then, this will keep happening.

https://americanselectlacrosse.com/maryland-rosters-2022
Wow, definitely some questionable selections

AS, are both these teams supposed to be split even and will compete against same teams or is one A one B?

A & B teams. Heard they added the Yellow teams, originally only the Red team was available. May still all compete against same teams though.

No, red is the top team and then comes yellow.

Yellow is definitely the lesser team but they got the better goalie

99% of comments referring to specific kids are goalies so get used to it

Look At the rosters. They are not equal. Kids are calling to get off yellow to join red at all age groups.

How would you know that?

Maybe your kid... just don't accept the opportunity - its pretty simple... to much focus on the wrong things... if your kid is good enough they will get the same out of it... red or yellow.. and that is the only fact anyone needs to be concerned with.. parents worry too much about their own ego's instead of just letting the girls play lacrosse... a lot of talent on both teams at all age groups... get over it already

Please stop, there is definitely an A team and a B team, will still be lots of fun, but the red team is the better team.

This has to be the LBC goalie mom stirring up her typical “my daughter is better then you”. Well at least her daughter will look good against the Red team. And they can continue with their hype of how great Integrity is with the new goalie. Hopefully Integrity won’t play “dirty”, oh wait never mind that won’t happen.

Not salty at all. Glad the red team played you close. Wish they would have won. I was talking about the 2 goals you scored against black. That game wasn’t even close.

From an outside perspective, I watched both M&D games vs Integrity from the shade while our team was on breaks. I am not affiliated with either of these teams. I will say that M&D Black looked significantly better than Integrity, probably could have won by double digits. As someone noted, they did score their only 2 goals on 8m shots. Black looked better in all 3 areas of the game, imo. They are a really good team. I thought that M&D Red played hard and hung in, but the game never looked in doubt for Integrity. I thought Red showed they can play with A teams though, hopefully they will get more opportunities this summer to play against better competition. Good luck to all the teams this summer!

Red will go 4-0 this weekend at LLL. Would love to see them go up against SW Blue or NEMS.

Doesn’t Red play HOCO Black? Let’s see how they do in that one.

What BadPerson bag calling out unquestionably one the Top 2026 goalies at this Age level . Wake up you have no clue and no class .

We shall see hope all the girls have fun and enjoy the games . They have a lot of heart and are getting better . Does it really matter if they don’t ENJOY the journey .

I assume you are talking about Integrity goalie? Talent isnt everything. Better a good person and teammate counts too. Maybe thats what they are talking about.

Heard that the 3step SW acquisition will close before the end of summer.

And you dads can take your winners circle pic again!!

serious question here for M&D parents.

with rumors out there that 3-step in looking to buy multiple DMV clubs, curious as to how this has impacted M&D so far.

M&D parents, have you seen any changes in your club (good or bad) since three step took over in December?

The pic posted was of three red dads, not black. They were proud of the prize they worked so hard for. Let them have their moment.

Who are the other clubs that could be impacted by mergers/buyouts?

NEMS? They don’t have much after an average 27 team. The 28s played B league and they have no younger teams in the pipeline.

I feel with good leadership Coppermine north could be a big draw for that area. Nems and crush kids could play close to home and get in bigger tournies to compete.

Call me crazy but i do feel Coppermine central could pull kids from TlC and Sw and become much better. Especially with better recruiting coordinator and a few more outstanding coaches.

People want some personalized attention and not just big business handling their team.

I do feel Heros and mnd will be ok for a while as long as the people in charge don’t leave

Rumors are SW, Stars and Thinklax (Rebels/Renegades). Supposedly SW deal is very close.

Stars and Thinklax fit their model better which is to buy organizations which either run tourneys or have facilities.

Honestly, haven't noticed one single change

M&D parent here. Agree with poster in that nothing visible has changed. However, the purchase was executed after rosters and tourneys were finalized.

The only thing which has been communicated that the app/IT platform will change for the next season. Multiple parents have asked about next year's schedule. M&D leadership has been a bit cagey in response. They just say , "we will continue to play in the best tourneys", but won't commit to any specific tourneys or say if anything will change.

They have also mentioned that next year girls will be eligible to tryout for the 3Step national team. Not sure it would make sense for most girls on Black teams, but could be a good app for girls on Red teams.

I agree with you. I think Coppermine North will eventually absorb a lot of Harford County talent. But, until they get established, the best talent will still head elsewhere. However, they already have a 2030 team and 2030/31 team established - so they are well on their way.

Even when they get established, their top talents will eventually get moved to the big Coppermine team for tourneys. That's the problem with multi location clubs. Ultimately one location has the best product and will stink all the best talent in the club.

Same thing happenes with MD United. Their top west players are getting moved to MD United East.

Most Harford County elite players go to Skywalkers. Although, I can see Coppermine Central being a viable landing spot now.

Stars doesn't fit/make sense unless they are buying the whole deal. Stars doesn't own any facilities, their parent company does (St James).

That's a pretty major/substantial investment if that is the case. I really don't see that as realistically happening.

Ummm. don't think the poster was trying to puff up coppermine. just answering the question about the future of clubs. and big business is about owning multiple locations/fields and offering many different athletic & lifestyle programs. once JT from hopkins becomes active with coppermine, and the 2028 team stays together to be a top 5 team nationally, coppermine will be up there as a top club program with M&D, Heros, SW.

Honest question, what makes JT such a huge difference maker in terms of club that it changes the local landscape?

The hopes of the power of the club in the hands of 6th graders? Five years before they start commiting.

Don’t listen to this false narrative. MD United is on the way out, rec players and toxic coaches.

2028 will be their first decent recruiting class IF they stay together, IF they stay dominant, and IF JT actually comes on and commits to Coppermine longterm. That doesn't seem like much to hang your hat on.

You mean do they keep mommy and daddy ball coaches every year YES!! Beware

Do you all even know or understand how hard ALL of these coaches are working to develop great players, athletes, and teammates both on and off the field?! Try your best to bite your tongues this summer and leave it to their side of the field to coach your girls. Parents, just let these kids play since YOU signed, paid and committed your daughters to a team. Try to believe in them to be good teammates and even coachable without you barking at them…also try to keep in mind that the coaches are not making the Big Bucks to stay at the Hilton garden or residence inns half of each summer and be away from their own families. Maybe, even just try to say thank you.

Someone's kid not seeing the field, huh? If only the coach would put her in.....she would be a star, guess what, tryouts are right around the corner.

Could not agree more. If you are unhappy with the coaches, get through the next month and move on. There are plenty of clubs out there, no reason to stay where you are unhappy.

I don't always agree with what the coaches do or why certain girls are in certain spots but what I do know is, our coaches give everything to these girls, not only on the field, but off the field and really care about them as people, teammates and lacrosse players. That's why we are where we are.

Early start on the negative recruiting don't you think? Why not focus on your daughter instead of logging on to an anonymous website to bash other clubs? Set a good example for your daughter, they are always watching.

How is SW 26 Blue. Will there be much movements after tryouts ?

It's a beautiful day out! Good thing the fields at Calvert Regional will be in great shape for Lax is Life, Maryland Cup, and all the other tournaments our girls are not playing in (boys tournaments). I bet those tournaments will have competent people directing traffic in and out of the lots.

lol, yep, it's amazing teams and clubs continue to support the utter incompetence that is Top of The Bay.

I watched MDU 2025 and 2026 teams -what the heck happened to this club. Is this a forecast of the future?

Just one example of club implosion. Lets see the shrapnel from the July tryouts.
Sure to be alot of movement again, especially at the top clubs, M&D, Heros, Skywalkers, Stars, Pride etc.

The top from Stars and Pride will go to Capital, that is nothing new. The top players that left Pride for Stars last year are pretty much guaranteed for Capital.

You could argue outside of M&D, MDU 28-30 teams are the best teams at age in totality so I’d say no.

They’re telling the truth about MDU 2030’s
Just look up their record from this spring and summer
Tournaments

Heard LBC had another player leave this weekend. Their best player gone. How many more will follow?

Where do the girls on HG think they can go if they implode? They went from two top three teams to none in 10 months. Not so sure that’s coaching.

No one has more NGLL championships then MDU 28. Always in the playoffs.

MDU 29 won Lax 4 Cure last year and is also always in playoffs.

MDU has lost only 3 games in 2 years to teams not named M&D.

Stoke fires much?
Best player?
What does that say about other girls on the field? Better question is how do you know she’s the best player? Let’s use this forum the way it should be used to spread useful info instead of nonsense.

MDU kindergarten team won at school recess also-just sayin

It is multi-faceted. Obviously, other teams (M&D, Stars) got better due to upgraded talent, coaching etc. But everyone knew the baby-ball, athletic, just go-to-goal offense Heros Green always played was only going to last until 8th/9th grade. Their coaching doesn't work for the talent on the team anymore. Their middies are very athletic, but they do not dodge and have average stick and shooting-skills. Defense...again, very-athletic, but are not creative whatsoever (doubles, zone/backer).

HG has a great group of girls, very nice and very athletic/talented. IMO they do need an upgrade in their coaching department and a couple of middies who can create an offensive attack. Once you focus on two of their players on attack, they don't have much left.

Top tier (Heros, M&D) will see much less movement than the second tier of clubs. Some movement-- yes. but nowhere near what you see in the rest.

Obiously Stars and Pride implode because their best players will go to Capital. Big question is where do the girls who don't make capital blue go?

People don't read. They just bash the clubs their kid got cut from.

If HG had a talented defensive they wouldn’t need zone/backer d and quick doubles. When it matters they can’t line up and stop other teams.

If you don't make CLC Blue you either go to MCE or Pride Black. A few will go to 3D Frederick. The 26 Pride team was more stable than the 25 team, but yes there will be a migration to CLC B. The question is how many?

Their attackers will help M&D 26. Along with a couple defenders. Weakest parts of that team.

??? Question

How is M&D getting my email address to email spam blast about tryouts? Do they buy the tournament registers? I've never had this happen before so I'm just curious (and a bit annoyed if I'm honest). Thanks!

The red team needs to get rid of a few players. You can tell how the team is divided into two. Watched them play a few weeks ago. If they are able to move on from some of the weaker players on the team and bring on some stronger, more talented players they will do a lot better then what is going on currently. Solid coaches and they coached the entire time. Talk about a positive coaching staff.

New owners, new recruiting methods - each registrant pays to tryout...

Will there be any players leaving md black?

They are 4th graders… top of their game now, but middle school everyone will catch up and dominate over them. Back to the bottom MDU goes. Always happens and they will never be a top club. That is a fact

hahaha, what a poorly phrased question. will there be any players leaving heros green? now that’s a real question

Yes, there are rumored to be a few leaving. They wanted change in coaching but that will not happen.

Will HG or MND Black ever add second goalies? Or will they continue to be promised solo gigs for staying?

The real question is will M&D black and red coaches keep their current players since 75+ girls are expected at tryouts again? Hope to not have a repeat of last summer.

This has to be about Heros green. Utterly notIntelligent comment if about M&D 26. Why would M&D want a new coach? They are playing like a team now.

Parent coaching is no longer acceptable at this age, but Heros will never rid themselves of parents needing to be in charge of their own kids and their kids friends. Find a club who pays their coaches to coach the full team, not a select few. M&D 26 black and red teams have no parent coaches and it shows.

You could argue outside of M&D, MDU 28-30 teams are the best teams at age in totality so I’d say no.

Just stop it.

They’re telling the truth about MDU 2030’s
Just look up their record from this spring and summer
Tournaments

They are 4th graders… top of their game now, but middle school everyone will catch up and dominate over them. Back to the bottom MDU goes. Always happens and they will never be a top club. That is a fact

Besides M&D, Heros, and SW, which club in Maryland is better than MDU?

If you played in NGLL they have your email address.

New owners, new recruiting methods - each registrant pays to tryout...

What will also be intersting is 3Step requires 1/2 of the annual fees 48 hours after tryouts, much more than the typical $100 deposit. Could prevent girls who made M&D Red from shopping for other A clubs.

LOL.

I think you are confusing your "fact" with "predictions" and "trolling".

No holdbacks either. Can M&D say the same? hmmm.

Looking at Heros website, I'd say they are definitely looking for another goalie.

M&D and Heros will both add a second goalie if a good one comes to tryouts. Can not go all the way thru club with just one. Injuries and fatigue happen.

Somebody is worried their daughter might not make the team? Having good players come is good for all. Makes players stay sharp and coaches can look to always improve. If your daughter is talented and contributes it will work out.

Nobody cares about MDU. Enjoy the club you’re at

Word is a big name lefty attacker looking to go to mnd black. Better chance of learning the game.

None that I know of. And if you factor in pre-HS, SW is behind MDU by a large margin.

Hero's and M&D have one major advantage (other than their well earned reputation), geography. They can pull from larger area, from Frederick to Harford County and obviously in between, down south from Anne Arundel. (even Eastern Shore in some cases)

Where did the Boys HS thread go?

New owners, new recruiting methods - each registrant pays to tryout...

What will also be intersting is 3Step requires 1/2 of the annual fees 48 hours after tryouts, much more than the typical $100 deposit. Could prevent girls who made M&D Red from shopping for other A clubs.

Is this new as of this summer? So if this year's tryouts end on 7/12, you have to decide and pay by 7/14? Just trying to understand the new 3step landscape on this.

Quite a few leaving and heading over to M&D. Was hoping the Heros green goalie would be making her over to M & D as well. Not sure if they will jump ship but I think that switch would be good for her.

Only big lefty attacker because of who her mommy is. She is middle of the pack player and nothing more. Kid is a frustrating player to watch, doesn’t know how to adjust when being guarded by the defense. Gives up easily. Good luck M & D. I think you already have a few players like her on the black team. Should be fun to watch all this explode.

They would kill it on the best team. Need 2 great goalies on club. Bring the left handed attacker too. We’d be unbeatable !

Try playing her position and then you can talk about her attitude. Good goalies have them. They have to in order to survive.

The green goalie is better and would make M&D unbeatable

Is this forum really supposed to be used for calling out 14 year old girls? Seems like some parents need to find something better to do with their time and energy.

If this was 3 years ago. But now the times are different and it’s going to be difficult for “quite a few” HG girls to make/take spots. Might have to go see the tryouts

M&D could use x attackers and a couple defenders for sure.

Yes the team started with two goalies but the Black team bullied her off the team. Some of the girls on the team made sure she wasn’t welcome and made it known. Hence why she left and went to TLC.

There is a huge difference between attitude and mean attitude.the black goalie has a mean not very nice attitude. I wonder if her “walk on my tip toes” Dad taught her all she needs about mean attitude.

The parents ego… not the kids .. the black goalie wins games for her team .. green goalie has good defense around her. That’s the difference.

I’m not concerned about not making M&D but just hope they can handle the rosters better than last year. Players posting them on social media and coaches having to pull players one on one prior to the final games was brutal to witness. They can and should do better this summer.

Considering M and D has tryouts and then a tourney, once again this will repeat itself. Talk about degrading to a group of girls. I watched it all go down and my heart broke for all the girls especially the ones that were moved down.

Boy of boy - do people love telling and retelling this story. Anything to make a successful team look bad, right? There was an error, information got out, they had to deal with it. Many clubs have tryouts the same week this year, and will play a big tournament the following weekend. There absolutely NO reason to say this will happen again to this team.

I disagree. Black goalie was helped by team controlling the ball and able to get back on defense. I didn’t see her make many saves in playoffs. Green goalie had shots on her she was able to save.

Keeping in mind the college recruiting process, not wanting to get caught up in a camp money grab, trying to get as much exposure for my daughter (besides attending tournaments with her club team)... what are the best lacrosse camps for my daughter to attend during the summer?

Once they get to high school, it's not about building an individual grad year team to win tournaments (even though most are just showcases). It's about building a team that college coaches want to watch for individual players that they would like to would add to their programs. D1, D2, D3.

You mean this the other way around? Right? Green goalie has way more saves then the Black goalie. Green goalie doesn’t have the defense on her team to help her out. Black goalie has the defense but still can’t make a save. However at least her dad has the TRACE video camera to analyze her every move. Maybe he should refund that piece equipment.

100% correct!! Green goalie is by far the best goalie. Smart IQ, can read the field well, team player and can keep her composure. I don’t have a daughter on either team but have been fortunate enough to watch both goalies play.

Big matchup this weekend is Heros vs M&D on saturday and looking forward to see which team comes out on top.

You guys ripping into goalies are nuts. There's so much involved with making a save that a goalie has little control over. Both of these kids are top of the class and are going to be high end D1 recruits. No need to bash.

Big matchup happened 2 weeks ago at U of MD. M&D came out on top.
Also happened at 4 weeks ago in NGLL finals. M&D came out on top.

Interested in seeing how these teams do against other teams now - Yellow Jackets, Jesters, Aces, Monster, etc.

no bashing just obvious that the green goalie is a better goalie and safer pick and if you were around it you would know.

Still wondering why goalies get so much coverage on this site. Must be their parents looking to get their egos padded. Goalies in girls lax have very little impact on the game compared to most other sports with the position. Team with most SOG will win 97% of the time. Ask yourself this, how many times has HG or MD been outshot AND won the game? Bet that number is close to zero. But hey let’s talk about kids playing a position that has little impact for 2 teams where it matters even less.

Heros coach don’t know how to adjust. Obvious game is passing her by. Builds offense around her own kid.

Let’s hope these are all rumors and HG players stay to develop and play more great games. NGLL mid Atlantic will become really boring and so will this board.

M&D could use help who have more than one move.
dont believe the hype because they could use a nice lefty addition or two from HG

Seriously. “Can’t beat them, so join them” is so lame. Would be such a mistake and a shame for Heros to not address their coaching asap.

How many times are you going to post this drivel? Get a life. Stop being so obsessed with M&D and their goalie, especially.

Is this a Former HG parent who’s kid got cut last year and got lucky making M&D? Don’t want better competition coming your way?

The one lefty could go learn from the high school game from an accomplished high school coach. Makes sense.

M and D is owned by 3Step. Remember Robinson sold everything!! So technically 3Step bought LBC. Read the email a little better there my guy.

M & D is owned by 3 step lacrosse now. Not surprised more and more teams on the block.

Heros is the #2 ranked team in the country and M&D is #1. There is no implosion coming.

It was not a purchase LBC was not a for profit business. According to LBC this wasn't a financial transaction. M&D Shore will be the club on the Eastern Shore run by the same directors as M&D and owned by 3Step.

it is not SW or Intergrity or MDU or Pride but a great team that lost close games to a rival.

Owners are sick and tired of all the entitled parents who constantly nag and complain. So guess what they sell, wash their hands and let a big company buy them out. The big company really doesn’t care about your complaints or your entitled attitudes.

As long as a parent coach has any influence on who plays where and fir how much …. It is NOT beneficial

Depends on which one. My D had a great one , who also ran the club. She learned a lot about the game and no Daddy ball. Then she switched teams and had 26 y/o ex-player who was on her cell phone most of the time.

They are doing well, 2-0 which is first in their group. Likely won’t play any stiff competition until playoffs.

MDU and Integrity have mommy ball coaches. Is it working for the team? Only daughter and daughter friends play.. No skills, just get the ball run and try to shoot but they always miss. They haven’t grown as players.

Nope. Not working and they’ll both get crushed today
Integrity continuing to try to recruit top goalie and field players from each other’s team and Baltimore clubs- but nobody touching w the bad coaching and all the drama surrounding both teams
Attempting to take our players mid season is dirty and makes you all look bad. Tells us anyone can be replaced mid season, and the coaches could care less about the players
Baltimore clubs have loyalty and that’s why they are on top!

I can assure you it’s not a Red parents stating this nonsense. A parent troll on the Black team most definitely is starting drama. Trying to redirect drama from their losses today onto the red team. I hear how awful the parents and players talk about the red team. So don’t believe a word you read, I see the red team girls and they are working hard to prove themselves and nothing more. BTW i am parent who used to have older girls on the older teams and now have a daughter on a different team. So this is an outside statement and observation. . Have watched and listened and it’s quite disappointing.

Yup and her dad who is now chummy with Black goalie dad and Heros green goalie dad. Trust me they are trying out for both teams. Feel bad for the team that takes her and the dad they are ALL drama!! His little man syndrome gets in the way.

Hopefully the red team gets new goalies. Not sure what the coaches are thinking. After watching them this weekend, the defense on red is the game changer NOT the goalies. Change has to happen in that department in order for them to keep going forward and NOT backward.

I hope she makes black, if anyone can give that current goalie a challenge w personality alone it’s her! No way MDU golaie would ever get bullied, and MDU goalie would be the one bullying the current goalie off. Bring it, this would be quite something to watch.

Nailed it.

All I can say is that all of these comments paint a vivid picture of toxicity at M&D. Sounds like a great bunch to share a sideline with.

Since you know the red parents so well… give some legit examples. You continuously come on this forum and state the red parents are awful. I want examples, not making up lies but true examples as to why the red team parents are awful. Clear the air for once.

If your sideline is rainbows and unicorns you must not be winning. See winning brings out the best in lax parents.

Did someone’s daughter get cut from the team? So now you spew your detest and negativity to a group of girls who are just trying to prove themselves. Prove themselves to their peers, coaches and eachother. If you have issues with the red team parents and players I encourage you to come and talk to us so we can sprinkle you with love and kindness.

Congrats to Aces for winning this weekend. So nice to have a different club win. Hopefully this trend will continue and these more competitive clubs keep beating the number 1 and number 2 teams. Humble pie is what they all need.

I think the comments were about some parents not all of the parents and clearly not about any group of girls
but watching this from afar I can see where there is smoke there is fire

Comments are about the parents. Their inflated egos developed on the accomplishments of their kids performance vs other kids is sad. Not setting a good example for the young ladies.

Something to be said for a team whose roster goes through minimal changes every offseason. Aces was less talented but won because they have the best team, not the best collection of players.

Exactly there is NO I team. Aces played as a team. Zero showboating, none of this not going to pass because I want to score, playing as a team always pays off in the end. I wonder if the hype girl parents will remove their home made sticker off their car now. M and D is Number 1!! Might want to peel that off so NOT a good look.

What egos a bunch of kids working Bard there are some jerks on every sideline . Live the dream let the girls learn and grow on all teams .

Couldn’t be more true. There was no one standout on Aces, they moved the ball flawlessly. MND gave them a solid challenge, but their defense couldn’t stop the fast movement. Integrity got spanked- when Integrity faced solid top teams their only player (tall draw) gets outplayed. Integrity had no depth and no defense- Aces dominated that game.

What game did you watch?! Aces was the better team but in no way did they dominate and they weren't flawless. MND missed ALOT of shots and looked tired. Intergity tall draw girl should try out for MND Black.

Goalie not holding up well for Integrity. Not the goalie the mom over hyped for anyone and everyone to hear. Just think this will carry over to Spalding High school. The same BS, the same noise, and will never make it in the IAAM top 4.

Standouts make the players around them better. That’s why the call it a team sport.

Had first encounter with goalie mom this weekend at L4TC. She's totally screwing her daughter with her mouth and attitude and I can't imagine that any coach with half a brain would want this cancer on their team.

Talking smack at the game and cursing. I think she realizes it too. Hasn’t shown much since joining and bright all kinds of drama

stalker? what is your issue? acting like you don’t have a sticker on your car. number 1 or number 100 still support your kid.

Goalie success or failure is often times related to what happens before the shot, where the shooter is and how well they are defender. Nearly impossible to stop shots within 3-4 meters where no one is on shooter, not at this age.

How about just sitting down and watching only. Clap when you can but keep your mouth shut. Your kid will appreciate it more.

You realize M&D tryouts are one big tryout right? You aren’t showing up to the tryout stating you are trying out for each individual team it’s one tryout and the evaluators will place your daughter accordingly. This isn’t entitled tryouts and you pick your team. Classic

Actually I have seen the Heros goalie and the M&D black goalie make some very hard saves. Not just once but a lot. So your statement is of course. Practice, extra coaching, private lessons goes along way if you want to be the best and at the top.

sounds to me like you all think integrity is worth the talk. They must be giving #1 and #2 teams a run for their money. If anyone was at integrity v MND game at L4TC they would know that it was a competitive game. I wouldn’t be surprised if integrity pulls through with a win vs hero’s and mnd weekend. The games in my opinion could go either way looking at both teams stats this weekend. Good luck to everyone!

On a side note, this coach for integrity has turned around the 26 team, heck three years ago no one knew of integrity. Props to her!

M and D black has better players then the Integrity girl. Maybe her BFF friend on M and D should switch to Integrity, her and her parents would fit right in.

Props to the Integrity coach for taking the 2026 team and imploding the team with chaos and zero trust in her ability to coach. Girls are leaving and will be trying out for other other teams. Maybe you all will get the MD United girls. Great job Integrity

It’s a B club. The 24s were all MDU Girls and doing well, the 27s will fall apart without their coach. Every other year on the club is mid level B, One or two grad years very bottom A. Terrible recruiting at the older levels, only draw is the tie to Spaulding. 26 parents are slowly realizing this, and the mistake of joining and leaving a good thing. Think hard before switching, the grass is not always greener….. Watch out for the empty promises.

And the goalie mom whose actually great entertainment for the opposition.

Give them credit…at least they didn’t play in the second division at LFTC like SW. SW has so much more talent than Integrity, surprised they are not ranked higher.

SW will jump up this year once the tryouts settle out. Intergrity won't.

Sw is playing for wins so the club gets more money with the sale !

Regardless of the win/loss record of Integrity at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Integrity has a lot of drama. Look how much their roster has grown since the beginning of the season. At one point they had 26 girls. How much playing time do you think your daughter is going to get with 26 girls or more on their roster? Do you think they are going to be loyal to your daughter now or recruiting time? Integrity is the last thing they have.

Yes, coach brought team together to explain the financial implications of winning to 14yr olds. Heard several times during the tournament him yelling “show me the money” as goals were scored. You realize what a ridiculous statement this is right?

Some girls play the entire game, the other 10 sit the bench or play 2 min a game. Traveling far to watch your kid only 2 min a game. No thanks people wake up and move on.

Integrity mentality is take as many as they can get, year round. Those four additional girls they added after the summer tryouts and roster set was an additional $10,000 for the club owner. Unfortunately those players that joined after summer when the the roster was a high 23 players probably never would have agreed to another year knowing 27 girls would be on a roster going into NGLL. 3 goalies and 24 field players- let that sink in, half the girls are now seeing the field 4 minutes a game going into expensive away summer tournaments. Think wisely before tryouts this year. I know we will!

Is Skywalkers "for sale"? Are you referring to the program being sold? Not aware of what people are saying regarding the Sale.

Didn’t SW add players going into summer also? Their roster looks big.

Considering M and D has tryouts and then a tourney, once again this will repeat itself. Talk about degrading to a group of girls. I watched it all go down and my heart broke for all the girls especially the ones that were moved down.

Boy of boy - do people love telling and retelling this story. Anything to make a successful team look bad, right? There was an error, information got out, they had to deal with it. Many clubs have tryouts the same week this year, and will play a big tournament the following weekend. There absolutely NO reason to say this will happen again to this team.

I really respected M and D for not having parent coaching but now I see things have changed. Now politics will influence many decisions for this team . Even if the coach is running the defense… playing time for their kid will be positively affected .. M and D now resembling heros green.

Considering M and D has tryouts and then a tourney, once again this will repeat itself. Talk about degrading to a group of girls. I watched it all go down and my heart broke for all the girls especially the ones that were moved down.

Boy of boy - do people love telling and retelling this story. Anything to make a successful team look bad, right? There was an error, information got out, they had to deal with it. Many clubs have tryouts the same week this year, and will play a big tournament the following weekend. There absolutely NO reason to say this will happen again to this team.

I really respected M and D for not having parent coaching but now I see things have changed. Now politics will influence many decisions for this team . Even if the coach is running the defense… playing time for their kid will be positively affected .. M and D now resembling heros green.

Parents with excellent lax teaching background. Unlike you. Don’t be scared someone will now give an avaerage eval for your kid and she will have to compete for her spot in the team. MG will play the best to win!!

And SW isn't even close to nearly as good as Heros or M&D. Power to the parent coaches.

Maybe not yet but that gap is closing. Plus you won’t have to worry about the coach playing their kid over yours.

You’re right. Sw coaches would never ever play a different team in their own programs kid more than other to keep peace in the club! Good call.

The games in my opinion could go either way looking at both teams stats this weekend. Good luck to everyone!

On a side note, this coach for integrity has turned around the 26 team, heck three years ago no one knew of integrity. Props to her!

Didn’t integrity lose 8-2 and 9-3 the last 2 times to M&D. That’s isn’t real competitive!

Give them credit…at least they didn’t play in the second division at LFTC like SW. SW has so much more talent than Integrity, surprised they are not ranked higher.

Sw is playing for wins so the club gets more money with the sale !

Who is the club house favorite to take over SW? Seems like every team is YJ, 3D or True

Doesn’t fit 3Ds model— they don’t own tournaments.

Bias opinion. And you have Integrity ranked 9th….. really? If Integrity beats Heros and M and D this weekend I’ll give you that ranking. Otherwise I they are not a top 10 team.

No one knows what you are talking about as all 14 yo girls get talked about here.

This has got to be another goalie parent saying this right? Not many people whose kids aren’t goalies care this much about the position. So who has the motivation to do so? Maybe someone who is threatened by other skilled goalies in their kids orbit? Someone who is trying to tear down the competition? Disgruntled former teammates? The list can’t be that long.

Thoughts on mnd taking any new players on black? With all the tryouts seeming to overlap on first or second day, trying to gage what best chances are. They are an amazing team, was curious how much the boat would be rocked

Teams should always look at talented improvements. They do need a goalie.

Is that a serious question? Because every team at this level should carry two just in case of injury, illness etc. regardless if “she’s doing a pretty good job.” Every high level club will do this if they’re smart and want to preserve a competitive team. If a goalie can’t handle that they need to check their ego at the door.

Agree with this. Tryouts will be here soon too. Some will be guest trying out this week. Can’t wait to see this board freak out.

What are you talking about? Talk about a vague statement. Pointing fingers and you can’t even form a complete thought process. Take a deep breath, find the original comment and hook your thought process to it.

Have to improve now. Talent doesn’t move as much in high school. Heard a middie and attacker are coming to practice from another club to tryout and a very good goalie.

I’m sure it will be pointed out real quick to the coaches about the goalie mom and goalie. Drama and the mom antics need to stay at Integrity. No other club wants to deal with them trust me the mom has made a name for herself and so has her daughter and it’s NOT positive.

The MD United goalie you consider a very good goalie. Average at best. Good luck with that goalie and family. Drama, a lot of whining about playing time, and never happy about the teams they play for. Good luck with that mess.

no way “very good goalie” was referring to mdu goalie. that would be silly.

Elaborate on your claims troll. Give some Examples. Last I saw and heard the black parents are an awful group of souls. You all stand on the side lines bad mouthing each player, hurtful comments to other parents, berating the refs because of a correct call. Get over yourselves. Oh and your “team dad” he must not wear the pants in his family so he runs around all the fields dictating and controlling the girls. Same with the girls on the team, you see the clear division of the mean girls. Instead of promoting a positive culture and healthy friendships all this team is…. TOXIC TROLLS

How do you know? Are you on the coaching staff? I would say two have a really good chance. The competition is going to be fierce over 80 plus girls are signed up. Good luck to everyone trying out for their club teams

Except for HG. Not sure why they even have tryouts scheduled, unless they can expand the current roster.

They want it that way to run off competition so their daughter gets more PT. Some need to produce! They need a couple attackers bad along with a good middie and defender or 2 !

I don’t understand why any parent would want to have the kid play for IG. They are not transparent about anything. The coaching staff all has kids on the team so it does matter if your kid is better. They are making and breaking promises to try to get kids to join the club.

Every top team power ranks their players and upgrades the bottom producers every year. Most kids/parents should know where they stand on their team (unless they are blinded by their daddy/mommy glasses) and if there is a possibility of getting cut the next year.

AND on the flip side, if you are trying out for a top team you need to know the holes/ positions they are needing to fill. Do they need a goalie? Lefty Attack? maybe they like height in their attackers....whatever it is.

Gosh, it's not rocket science people. We've all been doing this long enough to know how it works.

Goalies need competition too! 2 goalies on a team will motivate and push each other to be better! Politics stink, but life isn't fair and there will always be one that is a "favorite" regardless. It's a life lesson, and a great teachable moment, so take it like that and stop complaining and club jumping. It's not a good look.

Tryouts will determine that w level playing field. Goalies look stronger w a strong defense. Agree that Green goalie is amazing. But TBD on the others

Unfortunately that happens all the time in life. The best thing you can do if in that situation is find another club. Do it now because your window is short to be jumping around.

Exactly right. Great defense makes some goalies look good and bad defenses can make very good goalies look bad.

Bad defenses can also make a good goalie look even better. All depends on how you look at it.

If that’s the case the Integrity goalie must be the best one out there.

Yes, if Spaulding is not in your future, you will not play. And if you haven’t seen the field this season- likely you will continue to warm the bench and pay money for that luxury moving forward.

Such a shame a club and their coaches have to promise, and lie to get people to their club. I don’t understand the thought process behind it.

Integrity goalie trying out for Heros Green

Why would she leave a team she just joined in January where her future HS coach is the director of the club? That makes zero sense.

Because someone is trolling.

Integrity goalie can’t tryout anywhere else. No other club will want her or her toxic full of drama mom. Their reputation is in the toilet

Never understand all of this goalie drama. As anyone who has been through the recruiting proces before with a a goalie will tell you -- club play for goalies is pretty much meaningless at the high to mid D-1 level. Its all about impressing at a on-campus prospect day or maybe a showcase.

Unfortunately due to simply a numbers game, some clubs have to put up with goalie moms, over bearing goalies or just plain bad play. Not everyone can have the luxury of an all around great kid who also plays goalie.

Get over your 26 goalie daughters and selves. It’s a team effort that you and your girls need to learn

This couldn’t be more true, and as stated earlier, decent goalies are great w a strong defense. Put a decent or just ok goalie behind a not so strong defense, and they struggle.

Put a very good goalie behind a bad defense, they struggle, esp free position shots where the girls can get to the crease.

it doesn't take a bad defense to do that, sometimes it's simply just one weak defender

Skywalkers is losing their basketball middie to either Heros or M&D and she's not going to dominate anyone anymore because it's not 6th grade.
Size mattered back then but everyone is catching up.

So you blame them? They should have had a new coach years ago, but instead the coach has ran the 26 team to the ground. Maybe MDU and Integrity coach should start a team together. They sound like the perfect pair.

M&D has 2 great teams and unless you’re at HG probably better spot than you.

M&d carries two goalies at every other age group so it should be no different @ the 26 age but can the current goalie situation handle sharing the cage is the big question. Again, if they can’t, both the player and their parents need to check their egos. It is a team sport after all…

How long can another goalie put up with the ultimate “team player” goalie on M&D black. Good luck

If M&D could have gotten the HG goalie it wouldn’t be a concern

They have a couple solid attackers. A couple weaker ones and 2 that aren’t as good as they think they are. 1 has been with M&D a long time and thinks she’s irreplaceable but is very slow and doesn’t produce much. She’s not a nice teammate either.

What’s the common denominator of the previous HW drama and the current M&D drama?

The last goalie lasted maybe a month or two before the goalie and her mean teammates bullied her off. The goalie shared time, then it became now you are only a back up goalie, to making life so unbearable the goalie had to find another team. The mean girl team that’s for sure.

Wait I know the answer… the GOALIE and her tip toe walking dad. They call the shots and threaten to leave if they don’t their way. This is why there is ONLY one goalie. Every team they have been on ONLY she can be goalie.

M&D Black teams carry 2 goalies in highschool. She will not be the only goalie next year.

M&D is talented enough to win with any other goalie in the age group. If they are being held hostage by this family and putting themselves at risk they should really consider their position.

She will be the only to start and play at McD. I’m sure they already have a deal with TC and made an agreement that she will be the only goalie to start and play. That’s how this family works the lacrosse world. You want their daughter then agree to their demands.

Bitter Bitter. Tryouts are open still, maybe that would be a good opportunity to change the narrative

That's the only way she probably got into McD and shame they will have to deal with that behavior

You really dislike this family and you’re a hater. I hope you’re not a dad on the black team because this is so sad and pathetic .

Girls who left the team because they got cut or left mid season because they saw zero playing time. Yup those girls are coming back to M and D.

Hopefully leaves sooner then later. Talk about taking a program and tanking it.

You are talking about '24 coach, not director (who is pretty good apparently). I would not knock them, solid program at most age groups (beginning with 2023's)

SW blue goalie is also very good the taller one, made a lot of saves against HG

LikeSW blue goalie looks pretty good

The goalies shouldn’t get comfortable in high school and in college they will have to play with other goalies

Hope a SW blue goalie comes to stir up the pot the taller one is definitely good enough

Sw would DESTROY mdu

SW blue has a good goalie. She makes many saves. They need another one to even out the team. Back up goalie is not as good.

Agree

Yes I was watching part of their game against steps after my daughters team played and saw her make like 7/8 saves. Sw blue should hope to keep her

SW keeps the goalie but loses the rest of their team

Why no M&D in the G8 tournament ?

I agree with this. Not every path to success goes through M&D or Heros. SW has provided several opportunities for their players and goalies over the years.

#3 in the area isn’t that impressive after the top 2. Middie leaving and goalie looking won’t be good for that coach or team.

And the Middie ain’t much to brag about either

SW always reloads in the high school years. No one can argue their success in helping players make the top IAAM varsity teams as 9th/10th graders and more importantly getting recruited.

The middie leaving isn't much to brag about? The middie that is leaving is excellent! I don't know what the heck this person is seeing but if you have watched her, you would know. She will definitely be selected for another team and will take a starting spot. No, I am not related to her. But I have seen her play at tournaments and she is a very high level player.

Excellent is stretching it a little far. High level player? Come one really? I have seen her play as well, and I am going to have to disagree. HOCO is a better fit for “excellent” talent. Take the blinders off.

While m and d and hero’s are top clubs right now Skywalkers will skyrocket look at the rankings as they get older Skywalkers is first in 2023

Hoco is not a top rank/top team facts
Skywalkers hero’s and m and while provide so many more opportunities

Sure it does!! They aren’t winning. Not winning in their eyes means let’s move to a winning a team. If the team is on the move I hope the Heros Green goalie is on the move as well.

How did the guest players do at HG and M&D practices?
The SW mids, crush girls, integrity girls?

They are not leaving because they are not winning, they are leaving because tired of favoritism within instead of basing play time on talent.

Be real, if they weren’t playing much before on that team, think there are more opportunities on teams they lost to over and over? Not if the coaches truly evaluate, which MG does.

You all will soon learn grass isn’t always greener and winning isn’t everything. Sometimes being on the best team is the worst thing for a player, no matter how good.

Like any tryout. Real talent will pop out and force a decision. If they don’t stand out they have no chance.

Yea hero’s hasn’t been same since she cut the two defenders and an attack last year.

They cut four kids since the fourth grade. Don’t think the three they finally cut are the issue.

Hollow promises and no regard for but a few. It’s been a very difficult ride and it will end this year.

Did HG pick up a goalie at their private tryout?

6-5 against HHH? Oh my.

Just stop. They lost by 1. It was a good game.

YJ got handled by Aces and M&D at L4TC. Yikes.

New players ain’t gonna help much when it leads to more disgruntlement about PT and favoritism. Talent is pretty much equal among the top teams, so it comes down to coaching from now on.

Not necessarily. Girls had to commit before tryouts to keep their spot. Surprised more teams don't do this.

Public tryouts are a sham for pretty much every Maryland non-B team and non-B club. If you haven't worked in with a club before tryouts, they don't think you are serious about wanting to join.

G8 are all scrimmages. There is no championship format.

Those four were the weakest links. Especially the slow attacker that went to Heros white and is now on M and D red. The weakest link on red, but her mentality is she is the best. No wonder she was cut as well as the defenders. The coach was spot on with this move

Lol, they are real games with real coaches, referees and scoreboards! Just no playoff games. They are not scrimmages. For our kids team , it was actually some of the best played and competition games they have played all year. Plus they kept wins and losses. Not scrimmages.

They are not scrimmages. They are games. Scores are kept. The scores count towards teams’ rankings. No score kept in scrimmages and rankings not affected by scrimmages.

You win as a team and lose as a team. No blame should ever go to the goalie as it takes many others to let it by before it gets to her. Yes I am a goalie mom, but not of a 2026 but of a girl playing in college. The goalie bashing here is awful. Be an adult and stop living your lives through your athlete. They need your support and their mental health especially at this age is #1. So even if a goalie isn't having a great day (perfect example Taylor Moreno in UNC semi-finals) they aren't a bad goalie but need good coaching to recognize the struggle and build that defense in front of them during that game.

Why all the detest on HG? If they've fallen off so much way continue to bash them so much? I don't have a kid on the team but from an outsider's perspective seems like sour grapes for one reason or another.

Rankings mean nothing to anyone but the parents. College coaches don’t care if you’re on the best team but never play. Nobody recruiting your 26 games. No prize or playoffs. They are glorified scrimmages.

Not at all. I was at g8. Just been thru this before and these games are fun but mean nothing. Except the social media crowd that promotes themself as bracket winner and not playing all equally in a showcase tourney. Hope you don’t get bruises bashing your chest over the outcome of these things. I also bet you think american select and under armour matter too !

Capital 26 tryouts were last night. It does seem like the girls were more focused on the tryouts than their last two tournaments as they went 2-6.

The entitlement on that team is second to none. Another coaching change won't do the trick.

Last year they had 2 of the best 26 teams in the country. Now they chased away 1 team and the 2nd is all kind of dysfunctional. Hope about the Heros parents close their mouths , stay off this board and support the coaches and players and they develop into really good players ?

You mean bringing all their negative and drama to the M and D red team. Nothing is ever good enough for those parents. They broke up the Heros White and watch it all unfold with the Red team.

No one yet. Only strong goalie is the M and D black goalie. All the other goalies that showed up and are current red goalies are nothing to brag about. There will not be a second goalie for black, no one was outstanding. The red goalies well that has been stated on this forum before. Red team with the weak goalies reclassified of who they take.

Both teams will have 2 goalies. No way a high school team risks a year with only one goalie. And the black goalie is good not great !

Sorry to burst your bubble Jeremiah, your goalie won’t be the only one. Every m&D high school team carries two, and most tournaments will be equal time for recruiting purposes. So buckle up and get ready for competition.

You are assuming that it is actual Hero's parents who are starting this non sense. Most issues on here are created by disgruntled ex parents and other club competitors. Its pretty pathetic.

Not when most of the girls have made other teams. Still a C level team and not looking any better with the owner as coach. Nice try though

There certainly was on monday. But not on the "top" field being evaluated for black. And the former integrity goalie was there and will probably make black.

Amazing how much drama parents create for their kids. Can't they just let them play lacrosse, develop their skills and become a good teammate? It SHOULD be that simple. I would love a club to simply deliver on that promise but parents will never let it happen which is for the kids and the entire club lacrosse environment...

Where would you expect them to be coming from Green? Surely not the hot mess of Red. White players, yes.

M&D black will cut 5 girls trying out. 20 field players and 2 goalies. So in reality they are keeping the current team together, they are not cutting any players, only adding a goalie. Sorry to burst your bubble, the truth hurts and girls hopes will be crushed. The black team stays intact.

You are dead wrong. At least 5 new adds if they really know talent. It was obvious some of the girls were better than existing players.

Ok Black team mom. I guess your daughter is one that will be moving down the depth chart. I would certainly trust the coaches evaluations over someone on this board. Their attack is weak and need upgrades. Especially the lefty that thinks she’s really good.

Red lefty attacker was good but red defender wasn’t
SW middle is overrated but loved for reasons no one understands and HG attacker retread swoops in and steals a spot but will bring slow feet and no redefend[/quote]m

Crush looked like a deer in headlights, but still better than new assistant coach’s holdback daughter.

HG attacker on MD black? will not end well.

Did they finally get a coach that does more than sub ? I did hear the the Heros legend coach was joining them to help them out. It will sold out well for them just like the other teams he helps.

Crush girl and Skywalker middie both accepted positions on MD Black
There will be movement on that team
Remains to be seen if they have upgraded or not

Not one Integrity girl at M and D tryouts NOT ONE!! Get your facts straight.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. How would you even know?
2 there, mine was one.

You mean Integrity B team team and a couple of Integrity green girls who got zero playing time and most likely we’re going to cut. Only reason why you brought your daughters to tryouts. Desperate

time to nuke this thread.getting too personal.

Wait. HG coaching staff remains the same? Now that’s the Heros way. Keep the problem.

May be better, but I’d much rather have MG in my corner than MH come recruiting time. Have fun with your mom who only cares about her kids friends.

Y’all r some low life nobody’s who hide behind an anonymous blog to get ur points across. Grows some balls and if u wanna keep talking about people who I call family, come say it to my face. Garuntee u won’t be able to call someone slow or a social media darling again

I trust Mg knows lacrosse better than you and if she adds anyone she knows it will make the team better and will develop them.

Crush girl and SW took their spots. Not much room for anyone else to join the team.

Wrong. Sw girl did only. HG did. Integrity did. Red did. Black girls getting moved. Attack and some def in trouble. Get rid on some the bad attitudes will make them better.

Hahahahahaha. Exactly.

This is what happens when clubs hold tryouts before the last tournament of the summer just to get a leg up on the next club. It creates even more toxicity in what is already a toxic atmosphere, in community as well as on the fields. All the clubs who hold tryouts prior to the last tournament should be ashamed of themselves for the added stress and awkwardness they put players through. Heads are not on straight down here and club directors need to get a grip.

Everyone knew the politics were bad at Hero’s but it’s surprising to hear how bad they are at M&D. I guess it’s how things work these days. Just be happy if your daughter is healthy and a good person.

Absolutely. I wish US lacrosse or some governing body would step in and make all tryouts in August.

I just spoke to M&D red mom and there was no phone call, no offer to black team. She said they will find out Monday like every else’s daughters on the team. So this is 100% false. Maybe SW, Crush, and HG girls got offers but NOT the red players.

Relax Karen. All clubs are doing the same thing. Yes it would be better if all held tryouts after last tournament but they didn’t. Skywalkers uses private clinics so everyone else moved theirs up to keep kids from going.

It is not 100% false. Some players have received offers and have been told to keep it to themselves until rosters are posted.

There will be unhappy Karens no matter what you do. Remember M&D initially moved tryouts up 3-4 years ago as a result of too many parents complaining summer was too short.

Personally, I think open tryouts should end at the incoming 8th grade year. But i know it will never happen since clubs want tryout fees from girls who have no chance at making the team.

Counting the girls that have left since spring, and the ones that will not be attending the tournament this weekend….six!! Should be interesting what they look like Saturday and Sunday

There were probably 70 girls at tryouts – but no standouts and no new goalies. Proving to be a team that peaked in eighth grade

Wrong again with only two black going to SPSG

HG attacker changing teams is par for the course of you follow that family. The older boys have bounced around high schools and club teams. I’m sure this won’t be the last stop for her. Parent love the attention.

Mg must be doing something right. She develops really good teams and they win too vs the best competition. If she didn’t try and get you to her school she must not think your daughter is good.

Wrong only two girls go to SPSG

Some of us can’t afford SPSG. So some of us send our kids to public schools. Wish I had the luxury to send my daughter to SPSG, but it’s not in the budget for our family. I hope your daughters appreciate all the sacrifices you all do for them. Good luck to them and whatever team they make. Good luck

She was the best attacker and I’m sure the coaches have it handled. They just didn’t tell you yet.

Exactly!! I know she puts in the extra work, she has told me before her older brothers are always working with her to improve as well as their lax girlfriends. Great kid

it's all about winning and despite adding some potential drama and selfish attitudes, M&D isn't researching the family history.
their previous teammates and families will all attest to the transported problems and now it's headed over to M&D

And I’m more successful than any of u or ur family will ever be u bum. Send me ur number and we can chat u bozo

HG attack going for attention. Family wants attention and only has one older boy doing right stuff. or is HG attacker going because she bffs with team?

MG will develop a team. Those that can’t fit in will be gone next tryout or sooner. You all can gather each weekend and hope it fails but I think they will be ok. Coaches know how to put a team together and this coach she can do that pretty well. Now get sit in your corner with your sour grapes !

Integrity vs MDU, since half the players at integrity are completely new come Monday (than a year ago) and MDU gaining half a new team after tryouts and new coach- bets are MDU smokes Integrity in first game played. A lot of good talent at MDU tryouts and more to come Sunday!

Ummm… MDU has not gained half a new team if anything they lost half there team, MDU i think they ship has sailed.

That Integrity 2026 team was its top performing grad year, we sure it’s all turned over? Must be some good players still around. Around going from integrity to MDU? Or vice versa?

Well majority of team is given huge financial aid to go to SPSG. If you aren’t given a huge grant to attend, they probably don’t want you. SPSG is giving out lots of cash to lax players now.

No, your ship has sunk hammerhead. Integrity (which you have none of) lost players.

Each year, our club lets it be known on day 1 that parent conduct is to be exceptional on the sidelines. some of these "top" clubs have some of the worst parents on the sidelines. Those of your affiliated with the black and the red should really see how silly you look. Noticed recently that many dont wear their team's swag or colors. You're not only giving your club the reputation noted on this page, you're coaching and refereeing from the sidelines will be a huge turn off to college coaches. MDR "attack" dads and Mom trying to hide her affiliation wearing a camo hat... we still see you!

Chicken v Egg : Do MD & Heros have the most success because they develop the best talent, or because they have the best reputations and can be highly selective and sign the best talent??? Geographically, they have the deepest talent pools to draw from - Howard, Carroll, Baltimore counties etc. You can switch coaches from MD & Heros with a B level coach and those teams would still be successful because of pool of players they can draw from. So many girls jumping clubs in 4-5-6 grades because their parents think they will get better opportunity with higher level club.

Is it better for a player to get limited playing time at attack and sitting at X to back up FP shots on a really good team, or would they have better chance for growth as a leader on a non elite team. ??

last time i checked MDU went on a losing streak this summer, and only won like 1-3 games

🍿

No one yet. Only strong goalie is the M and D black goalie. All the other goalies that showed up and are current red goalies are nothing to brag about. There will not be a second goalie for black, no one was outstanding. The red goalies well that has been stated on this forum before. Red team with the weak goalies reclassified of who they take.

Sorry to burst your bubble Jeremiah, your goalie won’t be the only one. Every m&D high school team carries two, and most tournaments will be equal time for recruiting purposes. So buckle up and get ready for competition.

Handicap driver and parent

Any word on M&D Red changes?

Top Integrity players went to Heros and MDU. Integrity still has a few decent field players left, but the high scorers are gone. Predictor for fall, their biggest competition will be MDU, HOCO, etc. MDU will be much stronger w coaching change and influx of good players. Heros just got even stronger based on a few additions. Smart moves for top players from Integrity to top recruiting clubs.

Exactly like Hype girl #6 on M&D Black. Talk about a toxic bully who is not a teammate. Her former Stars team was so glad to see her go and that team blossomed when she left. It’s sad watching her Narcissistic behavior toward her teammates. M&D should have have and could have done better by researching.

You have no idea what your talking about none of the integrity players went to MDU at least none of the decent players. MDU has lost a couple of there players to integrity i’m pretty sure MDU has lost a lot of there amazing players and there biggest competition will probably be cclax this year

Sorry to break it to you but since they went on a 17 game losing streak this spring/summer i don’t know what girls would want to tryout for them maybe B level players?

Heros Green girls at M&D tryouts. Of course On the black side.

Where would you expect them to be coming from Green? Surely
not the hot mess of Red. White players, yes.

Why is Red a hot mess? Oh you mean the bottom of the barrel talent that showed up? Yes that team will fold sooner then later. Shame[/quote]

So glad the red team is taking up space is your head and will fit the next 4

This thread is a mess.

Youse guys need to chill out. These are kids.

Someone needs to start recording the sidelines if this is how people really behave.

Some of these parents are bash*t crazy. These are 14 year old girls! No wonder why some teams are dysfunctional with parents like the ones that post this garbage on an anonymous blog. I would bet that you would not be posting this stuff if your name was attached to your rants! Enjoy the warm blanket of not knowing who you are. Let the girls play and have a good time.

Princess was already on the stadium field ready to start their game.

And you wonder why there are mental health issues in athletes. It starts at home with the pressure and on to field. You all should be ashamed of your behavior. And yes college coaches will see it on the sidelines and hear through the grapevine on your behavior. Good luck with recruiting.

Nice try sweetie.... I notice you didnt sign your name. Baltimore Private school? not sure you are making sense. If you are referring to Gerstell - thats not even in Baltimore.. and not sure how my school affiliation would make a difference for the follower of the big lie and his privilege. You must be good pals with him if you need to defend him.

Let it go people
What about the tryouts? waiting to see what the teams look like

This whole thread has some very sad commentary. These are young ladies, who play a very fun sport, that will never pay their mortgage in the future. It may help them pay for college which then will assist hopefully in a bright career and future success.

I hope these comments are not coming from adults who are indeed parents of children, as that would just be heartbreaking, that said adults are disparaging children with such negative words.

I have reffed many games, where I hear children say under their breathe, "dad/mom, I am trying please be quiet,"

Try to get more on MDU 2026. Is the coaching worth taking a look?

Not in my opinion.

5-2-1 if you count the full fall season, winter season, spring season, and summer season. But all good games, and potential for lets of great matchups to come.

What happens when coaches tell players choosing to go to other teams not to come to the last tournament.

Kid was never leaving. You really shouldn’t believe everything you read on the forums.

And they're all happy she stayed.

Can we all agree that M&D has screwed the tryout process royally. Go back to tryouts after the final tournament

Only if you knew what they have done to a few girls. Unreal how some have been treated. Parents, staff and owners are all to blame. Hopefully some of the girls will stand tall and keep going.

And, more more changes at the 26 M&D and SW teams next year as well.

US lacrosse should jump in and make all tryouts after Aug 1st. This early July stuff is crazy,

Parents are the only group that cares about the rankings. Colleges certainly don’t. Both teams will do well if they continue have great battles the next 2 summers. And as for tryouts , teams will continue to change everywhere if a good player comes and a current player isn’t developing any longer. Happens at every sport team.

Was M&D the first club to move tryouts from August to July? And why?

US Lacrosse should jump in and make a lot of changes, like the governing bodies of other sports have.

The club jumping at all ages was out of control this year.

When do team invites go out?

Us Lacrosse has no control over clubs or most tournaments. Wish their was an answer to club jumping but parents are never happy and make these choices instead of honoring a commitment

What they really should do is fix the age group and base it on birth year not school year

They can gain control, as every player must be US lacrosse certified.

I’ve enjoyed the lively banter on the page. Soooo now that tryouts are over, did any MND Red players move up to Black?

Yes yes yes and that’s why the flock to Maryland United. Bev is the new coach. They needed some shakeup. She is patient and positive and overall the club is great with recruiting.

That is actually really funny-we got suckered into MDU but escaped

2026? I mean by all accounts that 2026 situation was bad. It’s already improved, say what you want, to be coached directly by club director with over decade of experience and contacts with college coaches at all levels is a positive thing.

It’s not public yet. Unless you know someone on the teams who can give you the info you need. Other then that you will have to wait.

One red to black. Another offered black then rescinded. One black to red. And 5 from red replaced. Talk about fueling the club jumping process.

Now let’s finally have red play black

Coach should have cut 2-3 more attackers or defenders. Gonna be a long year when some of the mean girls don’t play as much.

Indeed, some girls on that team will be losing their spots to the new additions.

Former integrity goalie now on black. M and D wins again.

So Hero’s and M&D had zero cuts?

There were two that left mid year. One went to SW and one went to LBC. Which one went to M&D?

No wonder lacrosse has such a bad reputation. It is called being a decent human being. Give it a try sometimes.

Oh please, take this away. As others said, let’s stick to lacrosse here.

yes, back to the sport where the two best teams are both local, rivals and friends, who are fortunate to play at a high level

Was the Maryland United 26 team any good this year? Hearing several players from several teams made the team this year. Did they revamp the whole team?

I did tag the quote, but it didn’t pick it up. Regardless, clearly I’m referring to anyone who would choose to play second goalie on m&d black. They will get zero playing time. Looks like m&d suckered someone into paying club fees to wear a jersey on the sidelines. No college scout will ever see them play and the highlight reel will be from practice. But hey! They can sport a new sticker on their SUV!

I heard they are keeping it at 18- most of the offers that were made, we’re not accepted. When MDU beats them for the next four years, maybe the coaches will realize how they tore that team apart.

Not the case ! In 9th great season there will be no colleges watching anyway. The 2nd goalie will get plenty of time anyway.

That’s exactly what happens in HS, it’s M&D policy. OP has no idea what he’s talking about. M&D puts together a roster of just the right amount of girls to ensure this happens. Not a roster of 2 teams in one and half riding the bench

No. A few teams say they will allow enough time for a player to showcase themselves, but teams like m&d play to win and leave second string showcasing on the pine. Not sure why anyone would agree to be backup goalie to the “golden child” player.

100%!! Or the mean girls will make it so miserable.. she will leave. I give it a couple of months and once again the Black M and D goalie will be the only goalie. MG won’t stop the bully behavior.

She went from Integrity to LBC to M&D black, seems like an upgrade to me. I'm sure she is aware PT may not be 50/50, end of day, she plays with and on a top team. Maybe the other goalie will try to help her?

Rankings out… looks like hype girl can leave #1 sticker on car…

Stop on the hype girl. She is trying her best

M&D goalies will split halfs, guaranteed.

Went from MDU left mid season because she didn’t get 50/50 play time. Then went to Integrity left mid season because she wasn’t getting 50/50 playtime and threw a temper tantrum and told her coach and teammates to F off. LBC took her to play with the 25’s. Here they are at M&D. Will it last? Prior history of leaving mid season I am saying it’s a high chance she leaves.

That could not be more false- A little bitter you lost your best goalies? Both left you for a reason Integrity coach
And now look, half the team followed

They can sport a new sticker on their SUV!

I was under the impression that in High School age tournaments, teams had to have equal playing time? Is this not the case?

No. A few teams say they will allow enough time for a player to showcase themselves, but teams like m&d play to win and leave second string showcasing on the pine. Not sure why anyone would agree to be backup goalie to the “golden child” player.

This is not correct. M&D policy for HS teams is that in showcase events(no playoffs) all players on roster play at least half of each game. Other clubs do not follow this but M&D does. MG stuck to it with her 2021 team and has to with her 2026 team as well. SR mandates it.

This is correct. MGs 2021 team had a goalie that never even got recruited to play in college and she played a half in every game of every showcase tournament.

What are you referring to? Tag your comment you want too quote. Learn how to use the forum correctly. All you do if make it confusing.

How good will MDU be? Betting they are a top 15 team by this time next year. All the girls Integrity begged and offered free scholarships to stayed at MDU, they got good talent from Baltimore clubs, and two great goalies. They are baaaack!!

I never watched 22 M&D Red but Katie Lettinga the 22 Black coach cared deeply for the girls and made sure all of them received the proper playing time for college exposure. It was as equal as possible. Please don’t throw something out there that is simply not true.

My daughter played on 22 Red...it absolutely happened on 22 Red (and there was a WIDE gap between #1 and #2 goalie).

That's exciting and good for the area in general. MDU 2026 was the lowest performing team in the club by far.

Along with a coach that should have been replaced years ago. If they had replaced her, some of the top talent that had left the last few years may have stayed. But w the new roster- they will be back to crushing teams

Im assuming due mostly to the coaching change, and the high reputation of the club.

Friends on the 27 and 28 and both are top teams

If you parents really think these girls are "friends", when they are constantly fighting to prove themselves over another, talking about Sally's bad play today, are shuffled around from team to team because they aren't "good enough" or they aren't getting enough play time, constantly being judged by others, and deep down incredibly insecure. You're crazy!! Most of them are fighting to keep their spot and aren't true friends. They are the first ones to shun each other when they aren't on the same team or they have a new clique.

ALL of these girls are incredibly talented!! I wish the coaches would develop them all as they deserve.

What kind of confident and kind women will we have when lacrosse world is over and real world starts.

Be kind people...

Many of these girls are friends and they are devastated when their friends are cut. Maybe your daughter and her friends judge one another but we have not had that experience. Most of these girls are close enough where they can talk about having a bad game and boost each other up for the next one. My daughter talks to her friends who play for other teams at tournaments at their team tents. No issues.

These girls are in high school now and there are tryouts for a reason. You can't blame the coaches for everything. There is a difference between girls that put in the extra time outside of practice and those who don't.

These girls need to learn that world isn't always fair and the real world has already started.

You have no idea! MDU will have you believe they produce big time players. They don’t! The top 3 in MD sent out the top kids in state and prepare them by playing the best teams each weekend. Nothing wrong with D3 at all. Just kids playing club aren’t playing to get to a D3 in Md ! It’s a shame too!

https://www.USCL.com/rank?v=2022&alpha=N&y=2020

Who said they had a top ten player? Some guy who obviously doesn’t pay attention to club lacrosse (yet posts on this page) couldn’t figure out if MDU has one team playing in A bracket. Lol.

I have no idea if the 2026 team can turn things around, but someone has a hard time understanding the difference between a team and a club.

These girls have a lot of growing and changing to do in the next 4 years both mentally and physically. So for you all to talk about rankings at this age and D1 recruitment is ridiculous! It is clear by the chest thumping by many of you on here that you either never played a sport and are living vicariously through your child or you never played in college. Because if you did either of these you would know what it’s like to be an athlete and encourage your child to be a team player, encourage them to be their best and that it’s up to the child if they are willing to fight for a position or playing time not jumping teams mid year or after 1 year. If your team is getting beat, lead your team not bash it.

MDU has been around for about 15 years with over 250+ players committing to D-1 schools and their East teams have always played in top brackets in tournaments. They are the 4th best (ranked) club in Maryland behind M&D, Heros, and Skywalkers. Disgruntled dad needs to do some research before he rants because his daughter got cut.

Not individual teams. Whole club ranking.

Skywalkers is terrible middle school and younger so you could argue Heros M&D MDU…

Terrible is a bit strong here. Since this is a 26 forum, SW 26 beat MDU 17-4 at their last game. Other middle school ages are also not terrible but not as strong as high school. Also, does it matter how strong they are at the younger ages? Since recruiting is the goal, not sure how much it matters if you are the best 6th grade team.

Because the 6th graders on Skywalkers now aren’t the Skywalkers players in four years when it matters.

Nearly all clubs around here have teams from 3rd grade through 11th grad, like it or not, it’s all part of the club.

I would imagine there’s some correlation between a team being successful young and future success.

Because the 6th graders on Skywalkers now aren’t the Skywalkers players in four years when it matters.

Skywalker will have to go out I’m of state to find better players. Club is changing and best players even at youngest ages are st M&D and Heros with Coppermine improving from 27 on down.

If you add up the totals for all teams ranked in a club 24-28.
M&D and Heros were the only clubs in top 10 of all age groups.
Total of all teams rankings in Balt area.

M&D - 7
Heros -19
Sw - 78
Nems -167
Integrity - 208
MDU - 209
Coppermine - 222
Heros white teams -246
M&D red teams -252 and no 28 team yet
Hoco - 297
Check hers - 454

Divide those numbers by 5 for an average and didn’t add 22 , 23 so you could see where the young girls are at and not those in the past.

I know the 2029s and younger aren't ranked, but they have NGLL records, thats more data on younger teams.

Looks like SW got some new imports

Where are the SW rosters at?

Had to be at tryouts

American Select Maryland Red wins it all
Easily best team here

Not that inpresssed goalie dad.

it was a great event. Maryland Red was great.nd congrats to the Champs! abut overall the competition was great! PA, LI Black GA Mass all great teams!

AS is a huge money grab at the end of summer was like pick up games.
The $2000 for the weekend to play with some really average players was not worth it

it was a great event. Maryland Red was great.nd congrats to the Champs! abut overall the competition was great! PA, LI Black GA Mass all great teams!]

Great performance by Maryland. Still don’t know what happened with seeding. Why on earth was GA in the weakness group against states where lax isn’t big?

MD Yellow played extremely well. Would have loved to have seen the two MD teams play.

Agree - both MD teams were super talented and represented the state very well!! Would have loved to have seen them play each other. It would have been a good one for sure.

Majority of Red team 26 will make Under Armour next year. Yellow will move up and have a chance to win that tournament.

2 great 2026 teams is what happens when NGLL finals are the same day as UA Baltimore tryouts. Shame they were not on opposite sides of the bracket.

AS- is it played w all the girls seeing the field or just a handful of girls playing each game?

UA is watered down and continues to be a sham. The big/loud guy from Seven is already lobbying for his kid to make that team.

Pick the one the suits your daughters wishes and enjoy.

UA is watered down and continues to be a sham. The big/loud guy from Seven is already lobbying for his kid to make that team.

AS is a money grab. Adding teams at younger age groups. Only value is to the current recruiting year. They can’t even get the 23’s to play cause they all want a chance at senior UA game. Make sure you stay away from the sham and watch all your kids friends switch back.

The loud Severn dad on Black or Red team? Because Severn parents are all entitled. Especially the Severn dad and mom on the Red team[/quote]

Red team has so many parent problems from the hero’s overates who make cakes to the HoCo traitors

Don’t understand anyones gripes on the red team. All nice parents and kids and amazing coaches; seems like a lot of haters on people that just want to do right by their kids. Could call them out by name but don’t want to go to their level. Carry on with your jealousy

no jealousy for red at all but would love to see them play their black team

The goal isn’t to be the top team at M&D. Goal is to help 40 plus girls find the best place to get an education and play some lax.

Black doesn’t have for Red. Black practices at a different time then Red and sometimes different locations. The Black team is for themselves and is not looking to help Red get better or engage with them. They are really two separate teams. Only chance they will play each other is in a tournament. So when that happens I’m sure you will be the first to know.

Are you a black parent glad you’re separate from the red or are you a red parent sarcastic about Black not giving you the time of day? Can’t really tell.

Red parent

Any rankings for girls top 5? For this year.

So when that happens I’m sure you will be the first to know.

and what's your point? of course they are two separate teams. same notIntelligent stuff being repeated over and over on this thread. at least the new goalie post didn't last long before it was deleted.

I don't have a daughter on a Red or Black team. I actually don't have a '28 at all. My kid is on a Black team for another club. The way the Hero's, M&D's operate their teams is really missing the mark. Particularly when you have two quality teams. Some of those players are of the same if not better caliber. They have the chance to empower and push/develop 40 girls. It's such a better vibe and way more beneficial for all involved. Pushes girls to better themselves, offers some of the more elite athletes the opportunity to flex their leadership muscles. Chasing wins is exhausting and futile in the scope of development and moving on to the next level.

Not so sure but that was the case with the old Hero's White but not with current M&D Red
White played Green and won a few times because girls were of the same caliber but Red won't even play Black because most if not all of not of the same caliber

Cmon. Do you see 23 white playing Green? 24 ? 25 ? It happened when they were in elementary school and both played at same level. Doesn’t happen anywhere when you get to high school and believe me both Red and black are well coached and getting developed.

Are you sure you're talking about the M&D red? There is no goalie dad drama, more like attack smack

Holy &^%$. What have we walked my daughter into.... I knew sports parents could be a little bitchy, like normal range stuff, but this is really incredible.

Goalie dad, never happen. We’ve played them multiple times and you wouldn’t know who he was on the sidelines- a true parent model

It’s the goalie mom by far

What is the obsession with goalie goalie/parents on the 2026 page?

multiple goalies are on new teams, seems like sour grapes from parents on the teams they left?

I know the original integrity goalies very well and they were both great players, solid kids, and awesome families. What the coaches did to them, was downright awful. And the behavior Continued with other kids on the Integrity team which is why 10 of those players left, some under bad circumstances as well. I’m sure this is driven by sourness of a team/ and certain players that will be riding the ranks very far down this season.

No goalie from this point forward should be riding pine. Club lacrosse is about recruiting once you hit high school, not the wins. Goalies should be splitting time. Maybe keep one goalie in if they are hot in a Champonship format event like lax for the cure, otherwise it should be equal time.

How can you say that before they even play one minute for Hero's Green? Obviously there were issues on previous team that prob frustrates most parents.

HG already has a top goalie in grad year, I think they are aware.

You mean the guy with the camera that then runs out to warm up his daughter ? Demanded she be the only goalie on the team? A real model. He better learn to be invisible and silent or his daughter won’t be recruited by some.

Goalie dad is going to run that girl into the ground. He has her in multiple all-star teams and in multiple sports. He also shopped around to private schools to find one where he was promised she could play. With all the current research on mental health and youth sports, he should be very careful how hard he pushes her.

She has her own issues to deal with
Leave him out of it

He has his daughter playing multiple sports? Oh the horror....

Serious this post is despicable. Mind you own beeswax and let others do what they want. Families can choose what they want. Singling out a player is mean and classless.

While I agree-this is par for the course on BOC and no one is off limits(look back since page 1 all the players called out). Maybe don't read or go to the moderator on this these kinds of posts.

OK Karen. Why come on this forum? I bet you are the reason why half of the posts got removed from the 2026 page because you and your daughters feeling are always hurt. Take your thin skin and move along. SMH

watch M&D red Attack dads when there is a close game or if a call goes against them!. And the Middie Moms - they should sign up to be refs since they know ALL the rules!

Especially the Severn mom who has nothing good to say about any player. And pays to have her daughter be MVP. She’s a real winner and hard to deal with at Severn and the red team.

These nasty comments about Red parents couldn’t be more off base.

Red quite possibly has the most two faced parents in the entire 2026 class

Who really cares?

Guess we'll find out about the Red parents - old and new - at this weekend's National Fall Lax Fest.

and the backstabbing was even worse and the fake moms are becoming too much hiding behind cakes and coombyah

With all of these teams and drama, it's hard to keep track of everything. Maybe a solution would be for all of you critics to post using your real names or your kid's club team and jersey number. This way it'll be easy for everyone to just discuss these topics in person.

And no, I don't have a kid on any of the teams you're criticizing. I just find it funny that none of you have a big enough pair to talk like this in person.

Yes!!! 👆🏼 Thank you

The more this person complains about the Red 2026 team, the more I think the parents of that team are pretty normal and were happy to get rid of this nut.

You are confusing red and black. Black has the mean girls and overbearing dads. They run that team even with MG coaching.

made-up drama. it’s really sad grown adults have so much jealousy and failure in their own lives that it makes them attempt to put other people down on here. i feel sorry for their families.

You know who I feel bad for… the girls who attend Spalding and don’t play on Intregrity Club team. Parents of Spalding lacrosse players if I were you I would be looking to transfers schools. Your girls will ride the bench no matter what team they make.

What a dense post, sorry. You're really digging deep to find new ways of stirring the pot. I don't know Integrity or Spalding, but anyone coaching HS at this point is there to win. They'll play the players that help them win. That's it.

Poster, this is a warning for you.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask so that I can identify you at the team hotel. Are you the pretentious mom who brings her own wine glass and full bottle OR are you the "I could buy this team" dad carrying the Yeti cooler bag full of Truly and Michelob Ultra?

I think some of you pretentious snobs should take all your money and buy yourselves a clue. Get a life people!! You're all unreal with this drama. Most of you don't even know what you're talking about. 🤣

This is not true. My child goes to a Balto County public school and has 24 & 25 friends who go to spalding and play club for M&D who play plenty. Actually more than plenty. One saw a lot of time as a freshman.

Agree w this. It’s year dependent. Not much talent left on Integrity after the two best players went to Heros and the other starters went to a variety of other clubs. Spaulding would have a rough go next few years if this was the case.

Any standouts from this weekend?

MDU moved up from the 70s to number 25 in the rankings 😧

A lot of really good teams don’t have six games yet

Nope no one was really impressive. Maybe the cold had some factors. Other than that teams needs to go back to basics and teach them how to catch, scoop a ball and throw. Sloppy play by top teams.

13-2 this fall with some new players and trying to play up some.

No they didn’t. They played no one and then got shut out in the first round of playoffs.

2026 players are high school freshmen. They will be playing for HS teams in the spring.

Really? I guess you don't get the sarcasm.

Wow! Great job. Watched them play in DE and MDU did a great job in the A side bracket.

You juggernauts need to give your own kids and their friends a break and pick up your own sport, while you’re at it, start your own ranking

Pickle ball seems to be the new sport around the Baltimore area. Maybe you can start your own parent pickle ball league and be in charge of the rankings.

We haven't found that to be the case so far. Likely because teams are set and more in a showcase mode now. This isn't a case of jumping club to club. No club affiliation at all and trying to find somewhere soon ...at least before fall.

Might as well go to Skywalkers and M&D tryouts since they still have open tryouts at this age and they each have two teams.

We are signed up for M&D in July. I didn't think Skywalkers had open tryouts once HS age. The website doesn't list a tryout for 26s. I guess we will have to call and see.

She resigned at the end of the season. I don't know if she informed the team or school ahead of time or not. It was a personal decision and had nothing to do with the team or school.

My daughter didn’t make AS…but it’s over the top the shaming and downplaying of girls that were selected and the parents that sent their kids to tryout. All Club Lax is over priced and a cash grab. Do we really NEED tournaments for consecutive weeks against the same teams in the mandated subpar over priced hotels. We don’t need it, but we signed up for it. Tryout/Don’t tryout for these teams. If you’re a blue chip lax player (most are not) you will be recruited no matter what your path. But for those less fortunate, do what you feel is necessary to get your daughter recruited.

Ummm, has there been any shaming on here about girls who made the AS team? I must have missed something.

SW will definitely be having tryouts for the 26s. If your goalie is good they will take a solid look at her. Their goalie coach is pretty good and seemingly fair.

So, the SW Blue goalies are either mediocre or both are destined for a school like Delaware on the low end and UVA on the high end. That's a pretty big gap in assessments.

Regardless of that, SW has the same two goalies the last 3 years so would be difficult to break into that. To say another way I doubt they are “looking” for goalies. There are likely other teams that have only 1 goalie and would be looking to add another.

We haven't found that to be the case so far. Likely because teams are set and more in a showcase mode now. This isn't a case of jumping club to club. No club affiliation at all and trying to find somewhere soon ...at least before fall.

Might as well go to Skywalkers and M&D tryouts since they still have open tryouts at this age and they each have two teams.

We are signed up for M&D in July. I didn't think Skywalkers had open tryouts once HS age. The website doesn't list a tryout for 26s. I guess we will have to call and see.

SW still have open tryouts. However, you better be an all American to crack the roster for their 26 blue team.

Their goalies are that good? It may not be worth it if they are.

Both will likely go mid to high D1

So, the SW Blue goalies are either mediocre or both are destined for a school like Delaware on the low end and UVA on the high end. That's a pretty big gap in assessments.

Regardless of that, SW has the same two goalies the last 3 years so would be difficult to break into that. To say another way I doubt they are “looking” for goalies. There are likely other teams that have only 1 goalie and would be looking to add another.

Sounds like a worried goalie parent.

Sounds like we would be wasting our time going to a SW tryout. I had a feeling we would get shut out at this stage of the game.

Stop with the silliness! SW Blue goalies are decent but the coaches will give all players an honest look. Upgrades are welcome at any club - all club parents claim to be the best out there... very few are. If your daughter is interested and the club is a potential good fit. Go for it!!

No club experience but was on a top ten team- did your daughter play in games? Realistic expectations at this point- Better to look at mid level clubs, they still have good recruiting potential.

SW has a good track record getting their players placed in good colleges. If that is what your daughter is trying to achieve, I don't think it would hurt to give a call. Probably try to get ahold of Michael McLaughlin, he would definitely let you know if there was any possibility of one if the 26 teams needing a new goalie. At least you would know whether to bother with going there to try out. I definitely wouldn't write them off.

Top ten team and a 2026 on varsity? That is impressive.

That is really impressive!! She will be so excited to find out she did that ... and that she never played club.

I wish she was on that level. We only signed up for M&D because it was the only club I thought had tryouts so soon. Since they have two teams, it is worth trying and get some feedback on her skill level. I checked the SW website after the comments and they have early tryouts the same week. I didn't realize they had two teams so we may sign up for theirs.

Yeah, because SWB 26 has a grand total of 1 player on All America this year. Get your daughter to every mid to high club tryout that you can, and prepare her in advance for some disappointment. It won't be easy, but if she's good, she'll likely find a spot somewhere. SWB 26 is a mediocre team by historical SW standards, but they do have 2 decent goalies, and a SW White goalie that is arguably better. It's still worth trying there too.

AA isn’t an accurate assessment on skill level for a picked team when the majority of those girls picked were the result of a parent of a teammate of nearly half the team picked. Agree tho- cast a wide net and consider DC/VA teams

I just scrolled through some of the past pages and Holy S***, the amount of drama around goalies is insane!!

Is it like this for every age group or was there something in the water the year 2026 girls were born?

Three of SW players would have made All American team. 3 top players out with injuries. 2 players may be out all season so no tournament play. One of these girls made American Select last year.

Trying to stir up drama again Spaulding Mom? Just be I see your daughter went from red to black don’t mean she’s all that
Everywhere you go it’s comments and drama

A bunch of responses got removed it seems. Reading past posts, I don't think the team from AA County would have been a good fit.

That team from AA County needs a second goalie and has been actively looking. Reach out to the coaches, club owner. They just took a few players going into summer tournaments. Sadly- kids get hurt and there’s always a need for back ups and more competition. Integrity, Coppermine, CC lax- all actively looking for that second goalie

Is SW guaranteed a certain # of AA players, or are you just that confident that all 3 would have had a great tryout?

We know, we know, and one of them is the best goalie in the whole wide world. We know!

then why are you trying to claim Black has an opening?

you troll

They are not guaranteed any spots. In my opinion, those players are strong. All were freshman varsity players at their schools and two were on American Select championship team last year. I assume they would have made All American or American Select. I have no insider information…just a strong hunch. You should see them on next year’s rosters if they chose to tryout.

AS has had 2 weeks and still can’t publish rosters. It’s ok they have your $900 though. Such a [Censored] group running this event. And the sheeple will keep paying them.

So, to summarize,

1. A goalie would need to be an AA to make SW Blue...or they have mediocre ones.
2. M&D has an opening on Black...or not and also have the best goalie in the world.
3. M&D Red has two openings but maybe they don't.
4. Integrity has one goalie and want another but the one goalie plays 100%.
5. Coppermine and CCLax are searching for a 2nd goalie.
6. There are goalie moms and dads that it seems most people know just with a reference to a team and parent.
7. Goalie parents bring drama wherever they go.

And based on the team schedules I could find, tryouts are before the tournaments are finished. How does that even work? Do the current players have to tryout or just new players? Do they cut current players before the end of the summer season?

This is so confusing.

This is so confusing.

Most have tryouts before the last tournament. Some clubs tell them before, others wait til Monday after
One higher level club told them before, and then invited the new girls to the last tournament and the ones that didn’t make the team again or chose to go elsewhere- many chose to miss that last tournament knowing they wouldn’t see the field over the new players. Just depends on the club. Do what’s right for your kid but given it’s HS w established teams cast a very wide net and prioritize where you know there’s a need. Very hard to break into a new club where it’s established- player has to be that much better than what they have. Common sense

Let’s not forget what happens at the draw circle, ball getting past middies and D, shots mis fired…..it’s a team game people. Drop the drama and discuss more useful information/ bored w goalie talk. Who’s doing well? Impressed w MDU play this weekend, the team is truly coming together after the coaching change. They’ll become more in sync as summer progresses- hopefully the players will be able to show their talents w good competition this summer

Who did they play? How did they do?

I saw some of their younger teams are doing well against top level teams. I didn't think the HS teams were competing against the top clubs. I don't know much about the team though.

SO it's a team issue when the goalie has a bad one, but when they win its because of the goalie had a great game. We get it dad.

Are we talking about Impulse? Yes, parents were sauced, some were downright inebriated. Grow up parents. Your girls are in high school now and taking notes. So are coaches.

Middle School and lower pretty clear MDU is the third best club in MD and at some grad years, better than M&D or HG.

Was it the Think Lax tournament or the boys tournament at Calvert Regional last weekend? IT references County rules, like there was issue at that specific field.

Probably because people didn't want to shell out $700 to be on the B team.

I think its a combination of obviously great LI teams, but also their physical style of play. The refs, after being on a field for hours, tend to swallow the whistle, lots of crosschecks and 3 seconds go uncalled.

Swb needs an overhaul at younger ages. Don’t be surprised is some of the younger teams 26-30 jump over to Coppermine. I know you will argue not true but just watch.

Coppermine Blue teams maybe - don't see any upgrades coming from SW to Coppermine's Black squads.

Why would any 26 girl move from SW to Coppermine? The teams are not competitive and they don't have a recruiting history.

Sorry - I wouldn't include the 26 team in that analysis...but 27 and below there is a major talent discrepancy. SW is a dying club.

Nobody in their right mind would leave SWB to go to Coppermine. At the 26 age group or any age group for that matter. Now we are just being ridiculous. Next topic!

Smart ones will as they see swb continue to crumble. Their owner can not do this much longer and new and younger directors are improving their clubs around them.

Yeah, who wouldn't love being a part of the 2029 SW team for example. They had a great weekend at LLL going 0-4 and losing 16-2 on average. What SW is doing to those girls is child abuse.

"Any age group" lol, you don't pay attention to the 2027 and younger, do you?

I agree. The SW 25 blue class is dominant and will recruit well. All after that will be a struggle, but some kids may transfer over to take advantage of the SW name/connections when it is their time for the recruiting grind.

Look at commitment lists for the graduating classes of SW. Now go back a decade and look. SW will be just fine.

They'll have to re-haul their younger rosters to keep that track record going.

Agree, no one is going to Coppermine. No recruiting to speak of at all and other than 1 team, they aren't very good as a club. Why risk going to a club with lots of promises and recruiting that is still at least 3 years away.

You're kidding right? You are comparing what someone said about a defunct club to a club that has been around for almost 2 decades? SW displays their commitments all over their social media year after year. Really easy to see where they send their players year after year. Where does Redshirts display anything other than celebrating the director's own kids and that's about it. Do me a favor, don't come to SW. We don't need you.

The 27s have improved dramatically in the last year. Now that that class is entering HS, they will get even better. They will be a top 10 team next year. HS recruiting changes the landscape and while Coppermine is very good at the younger ages (28 and 29) they have no recruiting history.

SW 27 is never going to be a top 10 team. They are a good solid team. But not even close to top 10 talent. They have performed better based on girls that were cut from other top teams.

They always do. The younger age groups always start like this. By recruiting year, the teams are well oiled.

2025s were very competitive at this point two years ago. Things have changed.

The 27s have improved dramatically in the last year. Now that that class is entering HS, they will get even better. They will be a top 10 team next year. HS recruiting changes the landscape and while Coppermine is very good at the younger ages (28 and 29) they have no recruiting history.

SW 27 isn't going to jump from #35 to "top-10" because its HS time.

They also have not improved that much, ton of talk about them improving but hasn't really happened yet. (Went from 43rd to current 35 if you want to count that)

I wouldnt continue to argue with parents over whether Skywalkers is strong or not. Just take your kid to Skywalkers to play. You'll be better off. The test for Coppermine will be if the 27's and more importantly the 28's can retain players going in to high school. If those two teams stick together and get some high level recruiting going the will be able to continue to pull girls who may have previously gone to SW. If they lose players going in to high school it will be harder to convince girls to stay. The 28's will be in high brackets at tournaments which will help.

get this into the right year thread. No one here wants to read about 27's and 28's

Every Skywalkers team is weaker in the ranking this year vs last year except for the 2027s which went from #43 to #35. Probably easier to improve when weak players can help an even weaker team. Not exactly a fact that screams go to Skywalkers.

THEN DON’T GO TO SW! To others, the commitment lists say it all. To each his own.

Unfortunately my daughter is at skywalkers looking to leave.

Neutral observer here. SW has obviously been a great club and isn't going anywhere. They'll certainly be "fine" for a year or two, maybe longer if the owner says healthy and manages to defeat father time, something no one else has figured out yet. But to say that the local club scene isn't going to change and future commits will be the same as past commits when the owner of Coppermine is throwing cash around like it's water is silly. They now have 4 teams in the local market (2 Balto, Carroll, and Harford), very strong teams at 27 and below (better than SW), and good coaches and management. College coaches go to where the best players are. They aren't going to sign SW players simply because the club used to have the best players.

Past history committments. They will come for good players at any club. The talent is way down at Sw 26 - 31. Truth! They can’t sell ice cubes to an Eskimo as you want to believe will happen.

You clearly have a history. If you have followed the conversation AT ALL, you would see we are referring to the high school years. But you go ahead and take your Truth! and go elsewhere. SW isn't for you and that's ok. 26s will be fine as will all of the other teams.

26 isn’t as talented as those above. Take your average talente to D3.

I detest to break up the fun here, but everyone should hit the brakes on the D1 or bust thing. D3 can be a better deal all around, even for girls that could make many D1 teams. You can get as much money (won't be listed as an athletic scholarship), high level of play (some teams are near mid-tier D1 level) and better quality of life. You shouldn't use D3 as an insult, even on this silly forum. I'd be willing to be you that the majority of girls that go straight to D3 are overall happier with their college sports experience than their D1 counterparts. If your kid is a true top-tier lax player, like top 50 in the country at her age group, and lives, eats and breathes the game, D1 is the obvious choice. For everyone else, they should at least be considering D3 as a serious option, even when they could make a good D1 roster.

Those who care more about who they play for would rather ride a bench than play D3. It’s those who give d3 a bad rap here.

The fact that you think going to D3 is "average talent" just shows your ignorance and i feel sorry for your daughter. Going D1, D2 or D3 is a preference for some. Of course some that go D2 or D3 weren't recruited to D3...but there are certainly PLENTY of girls that CHOOSE to go D3 OVER D1. D1 is ALOT of work and some D1 schools the player has no life outside of lacrosse. Some girls want both.
There is NOTHING wrong with going D3...and no, my daughter plays does not play D3, she plays D1...

Yeah, because no one with talent plays D3. Somehow the goalie for Northwestern was able to play at a high enough level at Tufts for 4 years to step right in and win a D1 championship this year. D1 or bust mentality is so limiting and sets girls (and families) up with unrealistic expectations. Lacrosse is a game and should be fun. If it can get a player into a school that fits their academic and life goals, it has added value. If the goal is lacrosse only, kids will end up disillusioned because lacrosse will end for most when college ends. A tiny fraction will find a way to scratch out a living from lacrosse.

Totally accurate and not to mention that college is about academics and receiving a degree first and foremost. There are plenty of D3 that are better academically than their D1 counterparts and offer better pathways to desired degrees. To poopoo D3 is absolutely ridiculous and is telling in terms of where your priorities are for yourself and your kid.

You must not be on a top team at your club. No way a player on those top teams will consider a D3 school until it’s obvious that there are no more chances to get there. The parents all feel D3 is below them.

Excellent take here!

Does anyone know how many club teams take on new players after freshman year? Or how many player they may take on?

Several clubs have tryouts (of course they are the same days) and want to understand if they are worthwhile. I know it is mostly dependent on the player being better than what the team had existing.

I am just curious if any new additions are predetermined and tryouts are somewhat for show and partly to find something unexpected.

Find a top team to play on if you can. Any team that plays in highest brackets in area. The top 3 will be tough to make but not if your daughter is outstanding. Tlc and Coppermine could use a few athletes. Along with the 2nd teams at top 3.

Not sure if TLC is getting better or the teams they played last weekend are on the decline, but a good option for new adds

If your daughter is outstanding, she'll make any team anywhere, even right after freshman year. The likelihood of her truly being that level of outstanding but not being on any of the clubs radars is low. You don't give much backup info here such as has your daughter played for a club previously. If she hasn't and she wants to try to make a top team, she should go for it! Just make sure she understands the odds aren't great. For kids, taking a chance and not getting the spot is a great life lesson. there will be lower level teams she can always jump on if she can't get on a top team. They'll do supplementary tryouts. The top teams are not predetermined technically, but the reality is that your kid would have to be a lot better than current players, not just slightly better. With the top 5 or 6 clubs regionally, especially the top 2, this is going to be tough, but it's not impossible. Under those top 5 or 6, it gets a lot easier, especially for a high-level athlete that might be just a little raw on stick skills. At the risk of starting a flame war, I would recommend against going to TLC at this point. It's a club that's on life support.

Agreed on last sentence. Baltimore area order of toughness
Top 2 - Heros or M&D
Swb
Coppermine
M&D red
SW white or Heros white.
Just my opinion.

Hero’s White Sadly is no longer the tough top 5 team it was 3 years ago. Great group of girls and super families. But they will not be in the top tier of recruiting

Unfortunate but true. They have won 1 game since last summer and it was v. Virginia One this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of their better players leave. They really should drop down a bracket or 2 to gain some wins. It can't be fun just losing week in and week out.

That is a shame about HW. Heros had two powerhouse teams. Now they have one top 5 team and HW isn't close to a top 100 team. They are playing low mid tier teams now. I wonder why they would do that? I would think having two top teams in an age group would be an asset not a liability. It looks like they have dropped below SWW in talent level.

But I wouldn't put Coppermine 2026 in this conversation at all. M&D Red is far better than that team. Red is just below the top tier teams. Coppermine isn't even close to being on their level.

That’s gonna change because the 24 M&D black coach is now the head coach at Coppermine 2026.

Even if it's true that JB is the new coach, he needs better players. Where are they going to come from?

It's not going to change. Reputation in recruiting matters and it takes years to build that up. Buying properties does not establish reputation. The 2026s will have graduated before it matters. And that is a big assumption on anyone's part that Coppermine will ever have a reputation for getting girls recruited at top schools.

They have to start somewhere and maybe it helps that tean find a good place to continue playing? Coppermine is trying to get people in that will help them build their lax program. Will see if it’s true.

M&D Red is probably much better than Coppermine 26, but at some point, they're going to have to prove it against good teams. So far, they're boosting their ranking by running the score up against weak teams.

Could not agree more. JB has a proven track record of success. That success has been at M&D with their black teams. The 24 team is as loaded as any team could be. How much difference is he going to make with the talent that is on this 26 team? Are girls from top programs going to go there just for JB? I doubt it. They will probably get a few who want more playing time. 26 girls are a year away from there recruiting summer. SR at M&D is a big reason girls will play on a Red team there. He gets girls recruited. The same applies at SW and Heros.

Big name coaches don't matter much if there isn't a recruiting director with long established success and connections. Maybe AJ will hire SR to buy his reputation. As the previous post said, until then it is a big assumption that Coppermine will ever have that reputation.

And it could be they just offered JB more money!

Truth. Stop the chest pounding when it comes to how great you think Red is until you actually beat good A teams. Red is a strong B team, nothing more.

Was this announced somewhere on Coppermines website?

I'm pretty sure the 2024 team isn't done yet. And he is essentially an assistant on 2 other teams. Seems like spot stirring.

So they loaded it for him ? Didn’t he coach a couple red teams too and help them improve ?

Coppermine does already have some talent and maybe JB will be able to bring over kids that aren’t happy at their current club/s.

JB is going to Coppermine

At this point, it's not about coaching, it's about showcasing the talent you have. Also for high school summer season, most players are too busy with showcases and prospects days to even attend practices. Most clubs combine practices between 25 and 26s just to try to get numbers most days.

Coaches submit players. All teams could do it and pick the names. That's all it is.

JB will win, but Coppermine parents better get ready for the turmoil. Yes he will bring over players and there will be a large turnover in the roster. He had some great players leave his team at his previous stop, including a first team all-metro player this year , and another 2024 player committed to Northwestern. You may also investigate why he got dismissed from his high school head coaching job two years ago. In summary JB will win, but the controversy follows him.

If JB is such a great coach and will bring over talent, why would a Top 3 club like M&D just let him go without locking him in to a new team to coach? The Coppermine 26 team is not good, so something else is going on to attract JB to the Club.

Perhaps he's being offered more responsibility than just coaching the 26s.

JB may know the game, but there is more to coaching. He was dismissed from MV as an assistant then dismissed right before the 2022 season at Westminster. And, as PP mentioned, several top 24s were on that M&D team and are now elsewhere (mainly SW) and left because of him.

Sure. I will elaborate for you. The kind of parent who comes to an anonymous forum to talk negatively about a coach headed to a new program. You don’t think the program he is headed to did their homework? They clearly see something in the man to hire him, don’t you think? Instead you bring all of the bad stuff onto an anonymous forum to cause drama. That kind of parent. Glad you’re not on my team.

As for the high school stuff I don’t know. The MV situation seems off since she loses coaches all the time and not well liked expceot by some of her players. As for the club he lost a couple the first year and then added good talent that has been around the whole time. Everyone has to find the right fit. The poster is most likely someone that left the team and likes using this board to stir up stuff. Maybe even has a 28 daughter too ?

You must be a hit at parties. The OP started their post with "JB will win". That's a positive comment for a coach. Most athletes and parents are willing to excuse some previous life lessons to bring a winning culture, but it's their right to know if there was anything particularly bad. It's their kid. You seem to want to deny them that chance, which is suspect.

Good coach or not. Good person or not. It really doesn't matter. This is a very mediocre 26 team. They won't be playing in any event brakets this fall or next year that will have coaches watching. There won't be a mass movement of good players. They may have good teams in younger brackets but that is irrelevant to their existing HS teams.

You seem to want to deny them that chance, which is suspect.

Previous life lesson? Can’t be anything bad. He’s still employed by the same school system. Has coached for a long time in that system and like all coaches has those that enjoyed and those that didn’t. My suggestion is don’t send your kid to his team if you have concerns. The poster is trying to create something that isn’t there and is a miserable drama queen. I assume it is a player that played for him at some point and it didn’t work it. If you know anything to be true it would be great you said it with your real name.

You may also investigate why he got dismissed from his high school head coaching job two years ago. In summary JB will win, but the controversy follows him.

YOU are the kind of parent no one wants on their team.

Strange response. I don't think the poster said anything to make them a bad team parent. Can you elaborate?

Sure. I will elaborate for you. The kind of parent who comes to an anonymous forum to talk negatively about a coach headed to a new program. You don’t think the program he is headed to did their homework? They clearly see something in the man to hire him, don’t you think? Instead you bring all of the bad stuff onto an anonymous forum to cause drama. That kind of parent. Glad you’re not on my team.

Exactly my point. And I am a hit at parties, you’re not invited to them.

I guess we will see after the tryouts what talent he brings to the table and if he can keep any existing talent that have. I would think if there were something alarming someone would have spoke up and Coppermine wouldn’t have given JB the position

With his pedigree, he could bring in a few kids from both M&D Black and SWB. You could be looking at the new #1 MD team in the 26 age group. It's a smart move by Coppermine.

The MV situation with JB happened when his daughter went there and played for SB, from what was heard is one night something happened between the two and the next day MV was playing NC and JB supposedly pulled his daughter out of MV and she was playing with NC

Nobody cares. Let it go! Let’s talk about the 26 teams instead.

MD Red is actually a above average A team. Rank 22 in US Club Lax. But they are selecting to play in B brackets in order to avoid a possible showdown with MD black. Red is dominating the B level with average scores of approx 10-1. Closest game was a tie with EagleStix Gray (#41) at Summer Genesis.
MD is having same issue as Heros did. They will not promote 2 A level teams during recruiting process. The focus will be on Black during showcase events.

M&D red is nothing like the old Heroes white team. If they play in the A bracket they will get beat by all teams. They are not avoiding the top bracket just because of possible game with black team- that’s so funny. The weakest team in A bracket would crush red.

They are not playing in B bracket… it’s more like D bracket..

I'm hoping that you were picking up that my post was a joke and found it funny

Either way, no good players are moving from M&D at the 26 level to Coppermine. I'm sure he'll be able to bring a couple M&D Reds. Coppermine will cause a lot of waves in the 28s and younger, but it ain't happening for the 26s, even if Chris Robinson himself makes the move. Definitely not with an M&D reject coach.

I'm pretty sure the 2024 team isn't done yet. And he is essentially an assistant on 2 other teams. Seems like spot stirring.

It’s true and there is no pot stirring going on. Coppermine gave him a great deal and 3 step was not willing to pay him to stay. Good luck to JB M and D will miss you 100%

Heard some from Red are coming to tryouts now that John is taking over. Sounds like he will have a good turnout.

Yep. I saw it posted on Coppermines FB page. A good coach like JB will be able to get some good players who aren't happy where they are. I don't think they will be a top team but I am sure they will improve.

Too many cooks in the kitchen. You can actually have too many top players on one team. Anyone who watches them knows they still have most (not all) of the best players in the area, but are struggling to work together. They'll figure it out. They're too good not to.

Agree. A lot of talent on that team but not cohesive enough as a unit to pull away like they should in some games like I've seen 25 Black do.

DD has friends on the team that says she pits them against each other in order to motivate them, but it only has caused friction.

They get almost no production from their attack. Middies are very good and defense is ok. Goalie play has been good. If they click they could be very good.

Yup my friends daughter said the same thing. The tall girl decided one day she is moving to attack and no longer a middie. The attacks are unhappy with her and her selfish play. The are not clicking because of coaches daughter and tall girl. There will be cuts at tryouts MG wants 19 girls on the team. Maybe those girls will go Coppermine or red?

I doubt anyone that is cut from Black will want to go down to red. They would be better off going to Coppermine with JB.

Thanks for the input JB. Everyone will keep that in mind. There are several other good options other than going to Coppermine if these girls decide to leave. There are a couple of good players on Coppermine, but you'd need to overhaul almost the entire roster to get a top 25-40 team. 2-3 good players aren't going to be able to do it.

What is the continued love affair for JB? He wasn't asked to stay at M&D, the Coppermine 26 team isn't good and the club as a whole has no track record of any recruiting. Please explain how this is now the destination to be?

Red will be a great destination. Coaches are loading up from other teams to give M&D the 2 best 26 teams outside of Heros.

I'd watch for them to go to SW, maybe Hero's but unlikely unless they lose people, or even Capital depending on distance.

Who the f is John Brown and who would care? Coppermine? Must be tryout time. Can’t make this stuff up.

They already have the two best teams (from one program). Heros Green is a great team but white has gone from top 5 to bottom tier in Maryland. White is below Coppermine and Check Hers at this point. It's sad that they blew up a good team like that. M&D Red is on par with SWB in this age group. I would bet Blue picks up some girls who want more PT and be in the higher brackets. Better to lose in higher brackets with exposure playing against the best than not playing in bracket.

I get the reason the teams have overlapping tryouts. They are trying to protect their brand by making it hard for girls to switch teams. But it does a huge disservice to the girls who want to make a change for whatever reason.

OK M&D Red Dad. M&D Red is a B level team that plays B level competition. Stop comparing them to teams that plays the top ranked teams the majority of the time. SWB would crush M&D Red. And no I don't have a dog in that fight. Tell yourself whatever you want to make you feel better about your situation. Nothing wrong with or against M&D Red but some people are just ridiculous with what they say.

It’s a great showcase for a 2026 to get her feet wet while college coaches are not watching her class. It’s well run, with mostly D2 and D3 coaches involved for 2025 and 2024. If you are hoping for D1 coaches, very very few if any. Doesn’t make it a bad event, it’s a great one for a certain level of play. Go into it with a positive attitude instead of this one and maybe it will be worthwhile. It’s a great way to learn and figure out what will be important once the coaches are watching this grad year.

Will never happen. Red coaches and dads would have to accept the fact they are a true B level team.

The Mid Atlantic Club Championships coming up in a couple of weeks has playoff brackets. M&D Red will get to play A level teams one way or another in that unless it gets rained out like usual. Everyone will get the answer about how they play against A level teams when they do. Best of luck to them and everyone else.

Looks like a good portion of the top 10 will be playing at Maryland Cup so it will be interesting to see who they'll get to play.

A good portion?? Looks split, to me. 5 of the top 10 teams are going to Mid Atlantic... including the #3, #4,#5, #6 and #8

Whether Red wins by 1 or loses by 8, how will it affect your life? What outcome are you all rooting for and why?

No matter what I’m wishing for red won’t win and will be lucky to only lose by 8. Hear he’s working this other clubs though to upgrade his team without them going to black tryouts. Be careful red , with the cuts from black and the new kids big T is bringing in might be a whole new team.

Rooting for Black so the Red dads and coaches will finally stop talking out every orifice about how they are an A team.

There is not one single A player out there good enough for Black, Green or Blue that is going to bypass A level tryouts and go to Red because of promises a coach makes about how they will be an A team. It’s a B team with B players who were cut from A teams. They are even in a B bracket for their own tournament. That should shut down talk of any that they are a A team when their own club won’t put them in the same bracket as black. Have they won a tournament?

Bottom line is… mYou need to be able to trust the coach you play for. Play for a coach who is transparent and not sus. Whether that’s Red, black, green blue purple yellow or white, that’s up for you to decide. But the coach that will be in charge of your daughters recruiting has a lot of power in their hands. Just remember that.

How did you know the result? Are you stalking a team that is not playing in the same tournament as your daughter, or is your daughter on Nems, Copp, or Renegades? Either way, it is pathetic.

Neutral observation, 5-2 loss by Red is a great result for Red. They obviously don't have the same talent level, but probably play better team lacrosse. I would have expected a more lopsided game between a club's A and B team.

Is there a less pleasant way to spend an hour than watching a game where the star is a flopper in girl's lacrosse? If there is, I don't know it.

They won’t go down to red. i heard some
may be trying out at Coppermine and Skywalkers if they don’t make black.

A player who has been on Black will choose Coppermine over playing for Red? I can see moving to SW but Red still plays better teams than Coppermine.

New coaching at Coppermine so maybe some from M &D will follow since he coached at M&D.

Not gonna happen. The 26 Coppermine team just isn't good enough to warrant that move. One of, if not, the top Coppermine player is leaving so that leaves an even bigger gap.

Red should have been playing harder teams in the better brackets. Instead they played C teams and zero competition. This is why players do not want to go to the red team. Waste of time playing these easy teams and winning by 16, 17 points. It might be a good look for the team but not girls who want to be challenged.

NXT players are coming to tryouts good luck with that group of girls and parents.

It is funny that you could have read the same BS from the Heros White team parents a few years ago, now they are on M & D Red. Get over yourselves, your kids are B players. Nothing wrong with that, I just wish you would accept it.

Red team will NEVER get the same attention that the black team gets! Coach keeps telling all they will be the same as black but it will never happen. They need to produce va top teams in the top bracket and they won’t ask to do that.

Because it’s the same 2 dads! The other terrible dad is on the black team.

Too much tension between red and black. No one from black wants to move down to red. Skywalkers prob won’t have a ton spots either unless your kid wants to go to SW second team. Coppermine may make sense since JB already knows some of the parents and kids from M&D and is a good coach

Only tension between red and black is made up on this board. Girls are actually nice to each other and all are talented. Maryland 26 is stacked with good players. Toxic keyboard warriors don’t matter and being miserable must [Censored].

Why the need to bash athletes for what team they play on? Not everyone will be D1 or even play in college or even stay at the school because they can’t handle the balance of sports and school.

Let them develop, play and be happy. These are still kids and their mental wellbeing is more important than you all degrading them by what team they play for.

If you are saying this type of stuff anonymously on a forum then what are you saying to your athlete. It’s stuff like this that causes the mental breakdown of athletes. Check out Morgan’s Message.

I ask this question with serious and I know better than to ask here! But I am just curious. When will M&D tell folks who made it and who didn’t. When will SW tell folks who made it and who didn’t. I have heard in the past that M&D says you will know when they post the roster, however, I have heard that the players that made the team knew shortly after tryouts and were contacted. Just curious what the landscape for this rising sophomore landscape will look like. Players who didn’t make either club what are their options?

Scoop on the tryouts tonight?

Really stinks that girls will find out Monday after a tournament they are cut and don’t have a team for next season. Most tryouts will be over too. I bet coaches don’t even tell girls they should get to other tryouts this week. I feel bad for them. M&D started all this a few years ago and it’s not best for kids. Hope they all fine w home.

It's really a bad situation for all of the girls, especially going into the biggest year from a recruiting standpoint.

You have the girls who want to join a top team to get more exposure and play against better competition. If they are on a team already, they may have missed their existing teams tryouts to go to these. And I'm sure the old club finds out why. So they are in limbo.

What about the girls who were displaced? Where do they go? How many clubs have supplemental tryouts once the top teams are set? Or do they have them?

This is an awful practice but you are captive. You are never "off" the team for 1 minute in the entire year, as long as you keep playing. You pay for it! Ridiculous. Need more good teams not fewer in the area so people have choices and more leverage. Hope this insanity ends. All credit to families that test waters and move to other clubs.

It more than stinks. There will be girls that already know they're being cut WHILE playing in a tournament with the team they're being cut from, and many of their teammates will know too. I know that USA lacrosse doesn't have any ability to dictate to clubs how to handle this, but they really should put out some guidance to clubs. Maybe they could recommend no tryouts until Aug 15th or something like that. Clubs will always try to get around some of it with private tryouts and letting girls attend practices, but at least the public open invite tryouts will return to sanity. The girls deserve better than what they're getting right now from the adults in this sport. I sent a note on this to USA lacrosse last year. Hopefully you will all do the same.

Nems July 18-20
Coppermine July 18
Checkhers July 18-20
Hoco has some next week too.

Do you want your county, state and federal government telling you how to run your business or your life for that matter?

If you’ve been cut prior to your last tournament, and told you’ve been cut, your loyalty to the club ends right there. Walk away.

They offer positions the night of the first try out and players are told to not say anything until rosters are posted.

Interesting. Other than making a few bucks, what is the point of having a 2nd day of tryouts? All it does it make girls think they have a chance when they clearly don't.

And I'm sure the girls don't tell their friends

It's for show to keep people coming back. And the money, always the money. $50 or more a pop just for tryouts is a nice chunk of change.

If they don’t want to lose their spot before their very first tournament, no, they are not telling their friends. That kind of stuff gets back to a coach and no player wants to be cut from a team after just making a team because they couldn’t keep their mouth shut.

SW tryouts are done

SW tryouts are never truly done. A top player from a far-flung state could fly in at any time and get added to the team and take your DD playing time. Happens all the time. There are few organizations out there that have less loyalty than SW.

Is this some kind of veiled reference to NXT buying Skywalkers? I'm not following.

3Steps owns NXT

Did not know that, thanks. I still don't get the NXT reference.

“NXT players are coming to tryouts”

Pot stirrer didn’t say which tryouts. Skywalkers made more sense than M&D. And it turned out to be only 1 NXT player???

Good for her! When a coach says they are making cuts to their current team, all the girls should try out elsewhere.

Why? Coaches should always be looking to improve the roster. Girls should know who is safe. If no one is being replaced, you either are #1 or you aren't imrpoving.

TLC didn't have tryouts for 26s. Unless they had an invite only tryout.

I don't think they are saying the coach is wrong. If there are going to be cuts girls should have a back up plan. They should look at other clubs. If these girls don't tryout elsewhere and then do get cut ? They are left scrambling. Coach is not wrong making cuts and kid is not wrong looking at other teams .

Did SW give out all offers?

Both SW and M&D have made offers to girls and made them promise not to tell. Which of course they didn’t keep.

That [Censored] for my daughter if that's the case. Now it will be challenging to find any team. But we knew going in it would take a lot to take a spot on any of these teams.

Not sure how accurate that is unless these children are such good.liars that they wouldn't tell someone. 15 year Olds can't keep drama in......any parent of one knows that word quickly spreads.

Trying is half the battle. Kudos to you and your daughter, she will find a team that fits her. Tell her to keep her head up, in the end she will be just fine

BA doesn’t read this forum and I’m sure will never find out that her goalie tried out for M and D. If she does find out I’m sure they have a white lie to tell.

if MG thinks girls on black will keep their mouths shut (one in particular), boy is she mistaken.

She knows. Coaches aren’t notIntelligent and there are hundreds of cellphones at tryouts reporting out who from where is there.

Yes!! At one point he was screaming so loud.. take her out!! Do what you have to do to take her out!! He said some other not so nice things about our lacrosse players. The school must love his behavior because he is always this vulgar. I wonder what his daughter thinks??

Why Are you obsessed with him? He had nothing to do with the topic of conversation. People are focusing on things that don't even matter. Your kid had to have been cut off hero's and you still are bitter. Let it go. Heroes green isn't the only team that will produce college lacrosse players. Take a deep breath and go to counseling to get over to whatever you think Randall did to you.

You all are a bunch of no life parents with nothing better to do than prey on teenage girls. It's honestly embarrassing! Worry about your own daughter who is clearly not good enough if you are so worried!!!

You all are a bunch of no life parents who prey on teenage girls just trying to have fun!

What landing spots are there for girls who were let go from M&D or Skywalkers?

Originally Posted by Anonymous

For SWB and M&D Black, assuming they don't want to drop to their B teams, you have TLC Red and NEMS. TLC Red doesn't list tryouts for 26 and the younger age groups tryouts were in June (LOL), but I'm sure they'll do a one-on-one tryout for a good player. NEMS tryouts next week. Both are good options at 26. For SWW and M&D Red players let go and still interested in club lacrosse, Coppermine or TLC Gold could be your new home. Tryouts are over, but I'm sure if you contact them, they'll be happy to have a discussion. MD United has tryouts next week as well.

Tlc won’t have tryouts. DK has his Gerstell / redshirt kids. Nems is too far away and program is falling apart. Some kids are in a tough spot to find a team.

There are still teams around and an outreach to a coach or director never hurt
Coppermine still has spots
Maryland United 7/14 and 7/16 tryouts
Integrity might have some since many left during year
CClax
NEMS

If your child wants to play there are opportunities. They need to reach out and market themselves. Kids get recruited from all types of clubs. You never know what a college coach is looking for.

HoCo has their second tryout 7/19.

Hoco will have plenty of open spots. Here a few are going to mnd red with the twins from Heros. There will be a place for them.

Coppermine has a new coach and i heard they have a few spots

Fake news. This is a Girls 26 forum right? NEMS 26 is not falling apart and is currently a top 30 team. Maybe it's too far for some, but it's not falling apart. A couple younger teams are struggling, but others are poised to do well.

In full disclosure, Coppermine has LOTS of spots.

not true

26 is average at best.
27 falling apart.
28-29 lots of girls looking for other clubs.
Not a destination spot rather the only option left.
I feel bad for girls cut Monday night. They will be blindsided and looking for any opening and not many left.

I think SW didn't cut anyone so everyone got their offers. No movement.

Hoco Black is on the rise! The program is working hard and developing in order to beat some of your "higher ranked" teams! Watch out the flamingos are coming!!

Poised to do well? How many games have you won this summer?

They are leaving to M&D red on Monday. Then M&D red will need a home and have to take a spot on Hoco 26. Hoco 26 will then call CR and move their whole team over to M&D so they really don’t have to go far.

HoCo Black is the next Heros Green! They already have more talented players on the team. Heros Green is just getting lucky at the moment. Just wait, the Flamingos will be number one!!

I can absolutely see this happening!! 🙄

which is interesting bc the other SW blue goalie is not very good. there is a steep drop off from the tall starter to her. watch them play a few times and the starter gets way more minutes

I watched the Hero's Green 2026 vs Sky Walkers Blue 2026 in the semi-finals for Maryland Cup this weekend. Saying this game was fool is an understatement. (Please note I do not have a child on either one of these teams.) The games were only 22 minutes and both teams just played back-to-back games. Trhoughtout the game both goalies played phenomenal. For Hero's I believe her name is Addy and i don't know the name of the tall goalie for SW. The score was 1-1 with 30 seconds left and a SW Blue girl scored the best shot I have seen all season, low stick-side. The reactions were priceless bc it seemed like SW had beaten Hero's which was really impressive. But NO. Apparently it was a "dangerous follow-through" and the goal DIDN'T COUNT!!!! This is not a call you should make at this point in the game and I know for a fact that Cayden Reese when she does he little low to high shot always has a dangerous follow-through. Regardless it went into OT and they did a 3 vs 2 bc SW had a yellow card. The SW goalie ran out on the draw to check a Hero's girl and they called it a foul and Hero's scored on an empty net. (Right decision by goalie) A very awfully reffed game and I feel pretty bad for SW.

ummm heck no. sorry thats all i can say. just no. HOCO has always been a second-tier team and thats how it will stay. no student girls will leave there current teams to join that team so you are stuck where you are. and name one girl on HOCO that might have a shot at going to college to play top lacrosse. now name 10 on heros. see the difference? of course there is nothing wrong about not playing d1 lax but dont post something like this.

FACTS. m&d red can talk all this about how they are soooo good and are the new black but have them play anyone in the top bracket or top 20 in the country and they just cant compete this is why they are a B TEAM

yet the 26 team is ranked top 20. it isnt about winning or losing as they get older. it about college exposure and the SW name will have 60 coaches on the sideline thats whats so special about the organization

Just shows college coaches are getting lazy! They keep going back to the well instead of looking for talent in new places. SW coaching style doesn’t help.

Just shows college coaches are getting lazy! They keep going back to the well instead of looking for talent in new places. SW coaching style doesn’t help.

Or… SW has a different approach in that they don’t run set plays designed by the coaching staff and instead stress individual creativity and constant motion. Some colleges obviously appreciate this style in that it highlights individual problem solving and a fast pace. Now, it doesn’t always work so well as some will point out in that SW is “only” in the top 20 but there are benefits to their approach. Time will tell…

They had a chance to upgrade through tryouts but decided to keep the same goalies on Blue and White.

Clearly someone with no knowledge of what is going on. If they did they wouldn't have wasted everyone's time with saying the goalie situation didn't change. And yes i have 1st hand knowledge and yes you are incorrect. No disputing needed because it is an incorrect statement. JUST STOP!

Are there anymore good goalies without a team to play on?

When SW wins, it's because the teams and the club are awesome. When SW loses, it's also because the team and club are awesome. The logic is pretty attractive. Other posters should start using it.

You shouldn't call out player names on this board. Totally out of bounds. I'd even say that you shouldn't even give enough details to isolate a single player even if you don't mention names. The players also shouldn't do dangerous follow-throughs, whether it's at the beginning or end of a game. Both things can be true. Surprised to hear that Hero's got the call though. Usually that type of call is reserved for M&D in playoff games.

Doubtful or she’d have a team.

So many rumors and so little truth

What you have said is pretty spot on however names shouldn't be used. What is happening to heros?needs to make some changes?

Hwr family is new to the area and learned during a couple of tryouts that it is very hard to displace a player on a high school age club team.

(Right decision by goalie) A very awfully reffed game and I feel pretty bad for SW.

Why are you calling out minors by their names? BOTC moderators do your job!

Poster is not wrong, though.

Poster is wrong for using minors full name PERIOD-gotta problem file a complaint with the assigner for the officials

You should contact some of the organizations. SW might be looking for one based on previous posts. Worst they can tell you is that they don't have any spots.

Coppermine only has 1 goalie I believe.

Coppermine may still need a second goalie

So you didn’t have a kid playing but waited around to watch a playoff game and know names of kids 15 yr olds not on your team? Chris Hansen wants you to have a seat. What a creep!

And to say a girl “always” has a dangerous follow through when she shoots means you have watched her play every game. Again, without having a kid on the team. Please keep away from the next tourney, pedo Pete.

You know for a fact that’s why the poster wants tonsee rosters? You can read minds? Or is it you that wants to see the rosters to ridicule 15 year olds? Because I am curious to see where players landed for the duration of high school as I am sure most are. All of these players know each other in some capacity, most are friends off the field. Everything doesn’t have to be so negative you jack pony.

Some might call that person a “fan” of the sport. Not OP here but I’m fairly certain that all of the parents who read BOTC have caught a game of teams that they didn’t have a kid playing for. Tournaments where their kids game is after another are ripe for this. While they shouldn’t use names here I wouldn’t call the fact that they witnessed the end of the game weird or creepy.

The one drop was at other tryouts so I don't think it was for soccer. Maybe she wanted more PT on another team?

M&D used to have those rosters out like 24 hrs after tryouts, before they even accepted.

I don't think they made any changes based on feedback from parents who have girls in the teams. They probably just left the existing rosters in place.

SW is just as bad. No comms to girls who tried out and the roster section isn't accessible.

Ha...how many different forums are you going to post this in? You think people haven't been notified if they have or haven't made the team? Sorry if the change in process leaves you in the dark, but seeing as you're just trying to troll, it's really none of your business.

If you tried this out and have not heard, safe to assume you didn’t make the team!

That’s all they want the rosters for - to mock 15yr olds and their parents. Don’t give me this “curious to see where players landed for the duration of high school”

No one is in limbo. Only the trolls are.

You should have received an email. DD teammate (we are a different club) tried out for SW and got an email days ago saying she didn't make it.

Your kid must be waiting for a spot?

No email at all saying yes or no here. So the assumption is it was a no.

What does that even mean

You only show at SW or M&D if the coach asks you to come and has offered you a spot ahead of time.

News Flash for Everyone. It does not matter if you play for a "top" Maryland team. Recruiters look for how an individual plays, in addition to other factors such as how the player behaves, how the parents behave etc. Take a look at the top girls college teams in the country - how many players are from top Maryland teams (BC = 3 of 40 players; Tar Heels 6 of 50). A decent percentage from MD, but by no means are they all from the "top" HS programs and the rest are from schools/programs outside of MD that you have likely never heard of. All this chest thumping is about the parents. Ragging on how a 15 year old girl plays is pretty low brow. Go enjoy watching you kids playing lacrosse and hopefully they are having fun with their team.

AMEN!!!!!!

Amen!!!!!

Just an ignorant comment. So UNC & BC are the only “top” school? No one from check hers has gone to “top schools”? Get a life!

100% ignorant. Helps to play for top club but ONLY if you actually see the field. There is place to play in college for anyone that has the talent, regardless of what club you play for. That is a fact.

Probably from a M&D parent who thinks that every player at every top school is a M&D alum. Get real, Maryland players make up a minority of players on the “top” schools other than UofM. If your kid is good they will get recruited if they do the work to market themselves.

There is so much more to playing lacrosse in college-it’s about your team, it’s about the awesome environment. So many of those “top” MD players going to “top schools” sit the bench. But I guess to some, sitting the bench at a “top” school is more important? So many girls from so many different clubs play for GREAT programs! You don’t have to play for M&D to be seen and to be recruited. It amazes me what PARENTS post on here & makes me wonder…is this your daughters goal or is it YOURS?

The top clubs get players almost exclusively from the top clubs these days. Show me 1 club other than Heros,Sw,M&D that sent a player to a top 30 college. They take players that play the best competition for them to evaluate. I’m sorry your lil club team took offense but it is true. I’m sure you will look it up now.

Your daughter is embarrassed when you show up to her games, I can easily tell. Hope the “top college” coaches don’t hold your idiocy against her…

I know of girls from those above clubs that sit the bench at “top schools”, so is that what your daughter is looking for? So, send you daughter somewhere where she doesn’t play? How fun for her

Just go ahead and look it up. Nems yes! They are a top team in 24 age group. The other 3 are lucky to be in top half. C2 dies have Rutgers at like 35. I know you want to feel included in the good lax talk but it’s just not happening.

i don't even understand your posts. Yes the top three probably have the most players go to top thirty schools but the other clubs mentioned had plenty of girls committed to top schools and Ivy league schools. Plus schools like Clemson and USF which will be top 30. You keep saying "look it up" so I did and there are girls going to highly ranked lax schools from those clubs

i can't decide if you're a SW or M&D parent ???!!

Not a good showing for the two Maryland teams in AS this week for the 26 teams. The 25 teams were worse. Both were 0-4.

The selection process is flawed, the talent is watered down with two teams and NB AA the same time, the talent isn't what it used to be or people are avoiding this event.

Probably a bit of both. AA also is in MD and not DE so players can just stay at home. After a summer full of travel, that is probably a big draw for MD people.

That’s why 2 hour tryouts miss the mark
Fast and dense doesn’t equal good lax, but playoffs aren’t over just yet

MDs 2027 (LI) an 2028 (PA) also lost.

I think having mulitple teams kinds split up the talent a bit. Not a true A and B, likely unintentional but the same result regardless.

Agree. There should only be one team representing each regions. But sometimes $$ talks.

Bad guess! I know the teams and talent is thin as AS at 25 and 26.

Good talent for MD maybe, but good competition probably not. Talent was strong for other regions at AS.

Yes cause clubs get kickbacks for regions like Md paying $1000 per player. Ct , upstate , Florida , Colorado and Jersey send almost entire club teams to these select events.

It certainly seems like Maryland had pretty solid AA squad. They throttled everyone including Conny. Teams at that tourney shouldn't be winning 19-3 against other hotbed teams. Having two all star events the same weekend is clearly affecting the quality at both. The two teams at AS clearly didn't have the same success. Maybe the other regions chose better AS teams than AA.

But for the 25s and somewhat the 26s, I guess they have expanded the amount of girls getting exposed to college coaches.

Now if they can make the selection/tryout process completely anonymous for each.

End of day, it’s a good thing to have these two events competing, as it allows girls to get more exposure, which is what girls need and coaches want.

If they weren’t the same weekend the same kids would make both teams.

Definitely SW. The Hero's and M&D crowd are generally confident in their program and kid. The SW crowd has a serious and growing insecurity issue.

guess if you need a club to go to checkhers, only have 16 on their roster

Let me start off by saying I don't have a kid who tried out for this, but I was looking at the U16 USA Developmental team (invited to combine not final team) and just noticed a lot less MD girls on the list. I looked up last year, 23 MD girls, this year 5.

That's a huge drop. Is local talent down in the 2025/2026 or was there different evaluators who went with girls they knew better or something odd with MD Region tryouts?

Here are the invites from 2022 to 2023 by state.

For a "hotbed" area only to have 5 girls, is wild to me.

The NY/NJ/CT region went from 26 to 41.

Anyone with insight or thoughts?

U16 2022 84
CA 5
CO 5
CT 6
D.C. 1
DE 1
FL 4
IL 2
MA 1
MD 23
MI 2
NC 2
NH 1

NY 23

TN 1
TX 5
UT 1
VA 4
WI 1

2 issues. Talent level at 24 was loaded last year for 1 so lots more made it.
Talent isn’t as deep with 25/26 and cost to play extra lacrosse during vacation time might not be worth it at $1200. The US girls selected play at 3 team tournament in Sept where they win all games by 10 as well.

Ask any girl that made combine last year why they didn’t go back.

The NY/NJ/CT region went from 26 to 41.

Anyone with insight or thoughts?

While it’s an honor, the quality of opponents is terrible. DD teammate was on the U16 team last year and chose not to do U18 for that reason. It just wasn’t worth it.

You people crack me up. Half your kids will be burned out by college.

That's a huge drop. Is local talent down in the 2025/2026 or was there different evaluators who went with girls they knew better or something odd with MD Region tryouts?

i dont think its that the evaluators didnt select girls... i think more of the better girls lack interest in pursuing this because of the aforementioned lack of competition... big investment of time and money, to go destroy some teams one weekend... definitely an honor, but the juice isnt really worth the squeeze (especially for '25s who are focused on recruiting)

Also, these are the "accepted" invites. I am sure more than that actually went out. I believe the Combine can have up to 88 girls... interesting only 77 going this year... thats a true measure of the lack of interest.

This is because M&D Skywalkers and Coppermine STILL havent released rosters!!!!!!!! LOL

Exactly. It's not like this is a World Championships.

The best girls will not be at this event. Not worth the time and money and they know it.

Come on, look at who was on last years team, they were elite.

There is enough talent for sure. Some of that elite talent from last year didn’t return either.

Without even looking it up I can tell you CheckHers, TLC, Integrity, C2 and NEMS all have 24's committed to top thirty schools. Sorry but it's true[/quote]

Checkers Tlc and C2 are bad! No way any player from those clubs will ever play at a top 30 school they committed to. Still not sure what top 30 college recruited a checkers or Tlc kid.

Denver had a TLC player this year who was a captain and starter. Syracuse has a freshman (last year) from C2 who played quoted a bit.

I’m talking 24s and the c2 girl didn’t get in to games.

Can not compare older TLC players (2019 and older) to current TLC recruiting - it is night and day. And the 22 C2 player only played minutes to seconds in the end of blow out games.

I don't think a True Freshman on a Final four team getting "minutes in a blow out" is in any way shape or form some sort of knock on a club, but regardless, C2 is no more and her mom and dad were fantastic players/coaches lax people so really doesn't matter anyways as its a one off.

Bottom line, top talent did the USA Dev team in previous season so Im not buying "elite players don't do this" line. Now, if you don't mind I'm heading on over to the Starboard to enjoy my summer.

I don’t disagree now. But the comment was that no way any player from those clubs would play at a top 30 school. Simply pointing out that they have had girls play at top 30 schools (or top 5 if you prefer).

Someone asked what top 30 schools TLC, CheckHers and C2 had girls going to

The answer is a simple sports recruit search away .....
Denver, Navy,Rutgers, Army, USF all recruited 24's from those teams

The C2 players parents own the club. That was a connections based acquisition. She didn’t see the field and may not ever bc of the transfer portal. That is not a knock on the kid.

They are talking about the club owner's daughter on the Syracuse roster.

and she started almost the whole year too

The Cuse player who is the C2 coaches daughter? If so, you are wrong. She only played with minutes left in blow out games. Never started a game
The only C2 player (who is not the coaches daughter) did in fact play & start every game and was phenomenal on defense.

The C2 girl played blowout minutes only. This is the reason this site shouldn’t be annonymous! Too many duma$$es

My 26 daughter went to a prospect day last weekend at a top 15 school.

Was kinda shocked that the coaching staff (including HC) spent probably 80% of their time looking at the 26s and almost no time looking at the 25s. (They were on separate fields). The head coach spent a bunch of time talking 1:1 with a bunch of 26s (including my daughter) while the 25s had their final scrimmage.

Is this typical? At this point in the calendar, are coaches pretty much done evaluating 25s and already starting to think about 26s? If so, should she think about doing more late aug/early sept prospect days.

My daughter was played well and was happy she got the exposure. On the way back, she said, "I probably wouldn't have played as well if I know I'd be playing in front of their entire coaching staff most of the day."

Prospect days are a money grab! Easier and cheaper to email the coach and let them know your daughter plays for whatever club team and will be at these 4-5 tourneys. If the coach wants your daughter the coach will be there or have a scout/asst there. You just donated to the lax program

Yes they are now looking at the 26 grad year. And I don't think prospect camps are just money grabs. if you are interested in the school you should go to there prospect camp. They will want to evaluate girls in person not just seeing you once at a tournament.

This, its the best way to see the campus, coaches and all that the program has. Look at it as your kid evaluating them as much as them evaluating your kid. See the campus, the area around it, visit the bookstore, take it all in.

You must have not gone through the recruiting process before. Prospect days bring in lets just say for laughs 50 girls who want to go there. Or the coach goes to see your daughter plus the 30 teams at a tourney. 30 teams x lets say 20 girls is 600 girls. Where do you find more talent - a tournament or a prospect day

Have you been through the recruiting process? My daughter 100% was recruited because she attended prospect camps at the schools she was interested in. She started attending them very early on and they knew who she was. The schools she attended, were the schools that recruited her and ended choosing one of them. Yes, she was contacted from other schools as well.
At the end of the day, everyone will have a different opinion. If your daughter is interested, then she should continue to attend any camps that they pop up. Prospect camps typically cost little (maybe the most $150).

Yep, 2x and never paid any college for a prospect day. In fact, they were recruited by multiple schools and they were invited to attend for free

You must be so proud. Everyones journey is different and some girls will greatly benefit from attending prospect camps and enjoy doing it - especially if it's a school that they really would like to attend. There are a lot of girls that chose schools and know nothing about the school or coaching staff and then attend the school and are miserable and leave. In my opinion, prospect camps give you a great insight on the coaches. My daughter attended 2 (top 20 schools) and immediately knew that she was no longer interested in that school from going to the prospect camp and meeting the coach. To each their own.
