It’s not really sour grapes.
Nothing lacrosse related in this mid atlantic region will ever be decided based solely on merit. When you have evaluators who have their own kids/club players/high school players on the field, you will never get a a fair outcome. Everyone knows it, everyone complains about it, everyone comes on here and cries about it, and then a week later everyone stops whining and moves on to the next unfair tryout, where the cycle starts all over again. The same dad/coach/evaluator(s) will be at every event So if you are really that upset about it, get off the merry-go-round.

Daddy/Coach evaluators is what it is...it's not going to change unless you get a director at Corrigan Sports that gets independent evaluators for this process.


CSE first needs to stop underclass coaches from selecting and coaching their own kid at the event. Daddyball at the actual event is even worse than the club/high school coaches who might show some bias toward their own players.


In Baltimore coaches aren’t allowed to coach the age that their child try’s it for. What are you referring to?


My daughter's team (another region, not Baltimore) had a dad coach who handled the offense and tried to run things mainly through his daughter, and unfortunately for the team she's not good enough to do that at UA level. Stronger players were played out of position, subbed out more often, and micromanaged to run plays geared toward getting his kid points. It hurt the team, although the best players still ended up being the top performers because that's what good players do. She wasn't good enough to be on the team, let alone be a key offensive player. Hopefully someone in the region will step up and prevent a repeat next year.


Happens at Boys UA too. No matter how hard CS and UA try to spin it as independent evaluations it isnt. They do get many of top players but some are left out due to not knowing the coach...Frankly I think it is worst in non hotbed areas
where knowing coach has a bigger impact due to less impact players, Balt along with other hotbed areas can leave off a few top players and still field a great team. ................. Dont expect things to change,
