If your kid wants to play at a top MIAA school, or in college this is what it takes. Whether all want to believe it or not thats on you. The blueprint has been laid out for a while now. You can follow it or be wise. Save your money for club and put it into a college fun where it’s better spent. If your kid doesn’t at least out work the other players on the field, works on his skills without being asked, and/or hasn’t been recruited by clubs that are better. Then they aren’t likely fit, at this point because we all know some kids turn it on later than other, for top tier clubs. I’ve had a older kid who played on a team with a kid who seemingly peaked at 7-8th grade (hold back kid) until others (on age kids) surpassed him (physically & in skill level) later. All of those kids whom I know personally, put in countless hours in the gym, with shooting coaches, and with sports psychologists. It’s clear that a lot of you toll the Hawks. Stop worrying and commenting so much on them and encourage your kids to work on being their best instead of complaining and trying to find fault in the teams who they cannot beat. Stop worrying about the parents you don’t know and raise your kids by example, showing them how to successfully overcome life’s challenges when they come. Be a parent, instead of a troll on a anonymous message board. The Hawks parents could give 2 schittz what you think about them. They, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, just want to see their kids do well.


Finally the " Oracle of the Hawks " speaks out. Now with your sage advice we can go go forward on our quest of seeking the MIAA pastures. Which leads us to, what we all seek, the College Holy land.

Before you our mighty Oracle of the Hawks, we thought the way to the Holy Land was with holdbacks, Hit The Wall, Elite Clubs and complaining about the Hawks. Now we know better and we are better for it.
