US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM MadLax Lacrosse

Uh no. Nobody is watching any B team no matter what the tournament is. Except the schools that are focused on B level talent, and that doesn't matter what the tournament is.

Roughriders is a weak program overall.

Uh yeah, saw Loyola, Maryland, Hopkins, Furman all lined up watching some B teams at College Park over the summer.

Sure you did. Please tell me what B teams Maryland and Hopkins were lined up to watch. Interested to see who you name since it will be a complete lie.

If there were any coaches there, it's because they were watching the previous game and hadn't packed up yet.

The original question was about high school B teams which 2020 is not

Hawks against Wolfpack, it was the first game of the day

Right. The coaches from Maryland and Hopkins were really there to see the Hawks B and Wolfpack teams. Especially that top tier Wolfpack program.

You are right, I'm making the whole thing up.

Ok Madlax just put out all there Fall tournaments for there teams this Fall. Lets start listing them by age and team and compare who has the best fall line up. I say start with 2017 and go down from there.

Absolutely right - there can't possibly be any promise in B team players, they must be fully developed by 8th grade and not worth looking at. Just ask Rob Pannell...

Idiot.

I would love to see a list of "B" team players that have been recruited and by who. Not arguing just would like to see the list if there is one [/quote]

Don't have time or desire to research or make a list but off the top of my head I know 2 FCA White 2017s that were recruited to Navy and AF. They are on the Blue team now that they have committed but neither of them were on the Blue team when they got their initial looks from their schools.

Recruiting has become a "study" for some parents, a "money-maker" for some club coaches, and a "land grab" for some college coaches. Whole process is screwed up. If your kid is at the right tournament and he plays in way that fits a coaches prospective need, he will get a look... whatever team he is on. Belebe it.

Or Kevin Buchanan.

So quiet now - could we possibly have exorcised this thread from the idiot demons? Nothing more to say, genius that believes someone is fully developed by age 13 and Mr. "I was playing you all"? LOL

Any thoughts on Madlax 2024 team? Which is the best club for youth lacrosse? Madlax vs Next Level vs Bethesda vs Performance?

So 2024 means 4th grade, right? Are you seriously talking about who has the best 4th grade team? Really?

Of the 4 teams above, which club does the best job teaching at teaching youth players?

Annapolis Hawks

Answer: Annapolis Hawks

Classic - clearly sports, not intellect, got you into college (if you went)...

Actually Biff, I was a three time All American in five sports at Harvard and Yale before I rowed for Oxford

I'm sure you rode your unicorn to class there as well, right? moron...

So it was sports then? Not even smart enough to make up stories to support the right argument comeback...LOL

you should take the broom out of your [lacrosse] and relax, it's just a joke Idiot

Obviously it was sports and don;t call it a comeback I've been here for years

Nah - it wasn't sports either

Good one! (don't quit your day job - those fries won't serve themselves)

It is Bethesda or Madlax. Next Level is weak at just about every grade - except couple. Performance? They don't really have a Team Program at Youth Level - more for training - not teams. Bethesda is much larger youth program than any of these - and focuses only on youth.

Performance does have teams at every grade. Not great talent overall yet, but they are run by good guys (unlike Madlax) and have good coaches.

funny, i can't serve the fries until you get them cooked

You dads are weird.

Performance had about 50 kids at tryouts acrosse all grades. Bethesda had 500..... its a numbers game - Performance not a youth program for teams. not their fault - just is what is.

It would be nice if instead of this type of post, you posted something actually productive and lacrosse-related. Just a thought, since this is a lacrosse forum and all.

That is simply not true. Performance is trying the get a foothold in this market, but it was nowhere near that low for tryouts.

Bethesda does some good things, but it is a rec program. Nearly all the coaches are dads with good intentions, but not qualified to coach top level players. Madlax, VLC and Blackwolf are much better options if you can make their teams.

Note that VLC and Blackwolf are Norther VA based teams, though - they do not have a MD presence, just in case you all are looking for something in MD vice VA.

That is true, but it's not like driving out to Montana. Both clubs have a lot of MD players on their teams, especially Blackwolf. Several players in this area also make the trek to play for the Crabs as well.

So when is this big Blackwolf unveiling coming with the youth teams. They have great players and great teams. But this club has 3 teams maybe 4. But I can not tell you anything about them or where they plan to play. The website is useless. I think that is the marketing plan. Keep all the info to themselves and when your kid gets the invite to play for them. You think its so special and its invite only so I have to go play for them. This is working for them, they do get great players to play for them. But they are a very small club who plays and practices very little. At least that is what I hear from people who play for them. I would love to confirm this but the website is useless.

Completely agree - my son is one of them! Some folks do not choose to spend hours in the car though, so wanted to mention that since it seemed like the OP was more focused on MD based clubs.

Trig does not post rosters and team info on his website, but if you contact him, I'm sure he'd be happy to explain the schedule and such.

Let's see. You mention:

- they have great players
- they have great teams
- it works for them


What is the issue? That their website doesn't meet your approval, despite the fact you are not affiliated with them? If you don't play for them, why would care?
