I assume that is what to expect this summer but I was wondering if this is one of the clubs that plays players in lower age groups? Do the Maryland kids start school a year later? Just curious. My son is large for his age, thank god.

Also I noticed the refs allowed very violent stick checking, is that permitted in Maryland more so than in Pa and NY?

Thanks for any insight.


Just have your son and his friends repeat 8th grade and he'll be all set !


They are literally men amongst boys. Most are likely 1-2 years older than your son. Madlax also has reputation of playing kids from older teams against out of state teams. Welcome to the world of travel lacrosse, where no rules, ARE the rules...
