IMO, Hero's and M&D black are best teams at this age level across all of the regions, hands down.
Hands down? M&D has 1 win in its last 6 matchups with Coppermine.
Coppermine is an excellent team and all 3 are arguably the top 3 in the country with NXT right there with them.
Coppermine and its parents are a blemish on the rear of lacrosse in this area. How long before kids and parents realize their kids won’t get recruited because Coppermine has no relationships, where is Jeanine Tucker that they trotted around like the second coming?! She’s nowhere to be seen, probably enjoying a drink in Virginia Beach or wherever she is with not a care in the world. Their 28 team could not beat Crush to repeat as Natty winners - 29 program is a ticking time bomb while parents enjoy their over priced drinks at Valley Inn
Here is the thing....some of these clubs only care about getting you recruited and not necessarily if it is the right fit for the player. My daughter did not play for a "top" team and had no problem being recruited - it's about putting yourself out there and not depending 100% on the club - your daughter has to do the work and find out where SHE wants to go. Coppermine is doing all the right things by getting their name out there to ALOT of facilities. Parents are too hung up on the word "best" - it is really irrelevant
Yes this! also to this - "Coppermine and its parents are a blemish on the rear of lacrosse in this area.

You all tend to crop up here from time to time. What a joke. Your poor daughter. And poor you. i would seek professional help like yesterday to manage this sentiment and goal you have towards youth lacrosse and what it will bring YOU. Good luck with that. It is truly parents like YOU on ANY team that is the blemish to "lacrosse in the area" and quite frankly youth sports all over..
Maybe the moderator will let me post go through this time.
This is really a shame that the boards are filled with people putting down 13 year old girls. Coppermine is a great program. So is heros and M&D. These girls are in 7th grade and the goal is to ensure they love the game and it is fun. Too many girls, especially in MD, are burned out way too early because the game becomes more than it is, it’s just a game. It should be fun!
To the girls who made AS. Congratulations! To the girls who didn’t, it’s not the end of your journey. I know some people don’t realize this but no one will ever care about who made the 7th grade team. Or who made red versus yellow. Keep your DD working hard and having fun! Just hope she loves the game enough to continue to play in high school. Don’t ruin it because you are trying to make the journey a job.
