Someone seems to have a "thing" for Mark Millon and is hung up once again on "elite". If the folks on a club are happy with their coaches then why do you care?


I have a thing for Mark Millon, and it's good and hard. Another carney guy I think folks should avoid.

As opposed to Carny, I have used the term "Used Car Salesman". It's always a hard sell. He's the best. Just ask him

Well if these Fallston kids were any good, they could also choose to leave Hazard County and play for a real club.


There are some fallston kids who left rock/fallston rec to go play for a real club

Those kids may suffer with playing time in HS. I heard that the JV Coach at Fallston only lets 2 kids shoot. Any other kid that puts the ball on goal is punished. LOL. Another example of great coaching. I guess the shooting kids play for Rock.

Is Fallston still crowing about winning those "C: division state championships? Seems like 2 kids shooting only is enough to carry them over Prince Albert High every year in the finals.....

Does anyone know how many teams the Cannons even have. Looking at there website it looks like they have only 3 or 4 teams from youth to high school?

I hope you're kidding. They have 1-2 decent teams and that's it. Like the other clubs Madlax is buying, maybe 1-2 kids per grade would be considered for their national team.

Their national team is basically their Capital team plus a combination of a handful of good players and those allowed to play on the team for political reasons.

You're confusing it with that [lacrosse]'s Sporting Goods tournament.

No matter. Both tournaments are a complete joke.

The 2020 division has the Madlax Nationals, Madlax West Nationals and the Madlax East Nationals. How good will each of the various teams be?

Madlax MD is Bethesda area (west of DC). Cannons is Southern MD (east of DC, South of Annapolis). Not close enough for weekday practices. Two teams in MD will work well for Madlax. Now they just need a team North of Baltimore and they will have most of the talent in MD covered.

Well it really depends on how many kids want to spend the money to get down to FL. I am guessing these other two teams will be made up of the players left from the Capital teams and any good players from all the Partner and state Madlax teams.

The [lacrosse]'s Tournament actually had some decent teams in the U15 Division last December - FCA National 2017, Sweetlax National 2017, Brady's Bunch and Madlax Nationals 2018/17. The new madlax hosted tournament at least at the older age groups will have FCA nationals, LIExpress, and 3D Nationals so for a fairly small tournaments it does have some decent teams. It looks like it was able to pull at least most of the best teams away from Dicks. The Dicks tourney is a fairly large tourney with a number of teams that are far from the level of the top teams but its very well run on very nice grass fields.

The [lacrosse]'s Tournament is fine if you are looking/can afford a family vacation in FL. Both like Vail, most of the teams are dreadful.

And any tournament that has rising sophomores playing U15 is pitiful.

Dicks is great in theory....you take the winners from all the top regional tournaments and have them play in a national playoff. Unfortunately many of the regional tournaments do not have the top teams in that region, so a lot of B level teams qualify and get blown out by the 1 or 2 AA teams that do decide to pay the money to travel to Florida.

This is true but not as bad as it sounds. You go from AA+ all the way down to B. So there will be plenty of blowouts, but you will also inevitably play teams near your own level.

For example, in the U13 division (won by Madlax), other than the local team (kudos to them for playing), all of the bottom seeds from day 1 had at least one victory and one or two very close losses. Same in the U11 division. And there were a lot of 1 goal games among some of the top seeds in all the divisions.

And how great is it to play teams from all over North America that you would never otherwise play?

So, as long as families make the trip with the right expectations (and avoid I-75 N of Tampa and I-95 in SC after 8am) and make sure to get to the beach or pool, it's a great trip and not much more expensive than any other tournament.

PS - My team qualified but I never bothered to tell anyone. Who's going to spend their Winter break going to a lacrosse tournament? Well, a Mom talked me into sending out an email in the Fall and 2 days later I had 17 players committed. I controlled expectations about W-L's and everyone had a good experience. Spent NYE with my feet in the sand. Not a bad deal. All that said, I'm not happy about them moving the age cutoff from 8/1 to 6/1 - I understand why they are doing it but I think 8/1 was the right date.

I agree - the way they handle age cutoffs is wierd but all teams adjust and is generally the same for all in that division. I think the age cutoff is June of the year of the tourney.

I assume they moved age cutoff due to prevalence of Summer birthdays on 'l33t' teams. Same with World Series I'd guess.

Once again you need to put the year. And this makes sense everyone knew the Maryland teams would not be strong this first year. I think the Maryland teams will be a lot better in the spring. There is lots of rumors of several Maryland clubs closing the doors. Club Blue, Next Level and one other one. But these are rumors take them for what they are.

The Madlax Virginia/Maryland teams are already a disaster. Splitting their B teams into two weaker B teams was just a move to bring in the kids they'd normally cut. More money for them, but worse for those kids.

Did this Cavs team add any kids from Freedom folding or off of any other clubs?

I think you need to go through the spring and summer tryouts before you kill this new plan. Madlax has structure like it or not . Please write back 12 months from today you might still be correct but I would bet on Madlax putting good teams out there in 12 months.

Cavs added some new talent from other clubs, also lost some as well. Not sure if anyone from Freedom joined, but there were several Freedom kids during tryouts.

You can tell by those rosters that the move (though probably successfully financially short-term) is not a good one. The talent on those teams is pretty bad. Not surprised to see they combined a few grade years for some teams.
