I think at 2017 and to some degree 2018 the kids and parents that are not crazy/insane about lax just kind of let the club thing go. Maybe this is happening for Looneys older teams. I checked the website and the younger teams all have full rosters so the club owner is going to make some cash. Seems like NOVA and Baltimore have so many clubs that Looneys may just be the short end of the stick at the older ages. Just my 2 cents.

Having full rosters and having competitive teams are two separate things. Their issue is that these teams don't have a lot of good players and as they get older, the better kids leave. Plus, it's not just the daddy ball that is causing problems. There was such a takeover of this club by Carroll Manor coaches. They have been keeping CM kids at the expense of better players which has driven people away. This has been a real issue at the 2019 age and some of the younger ages as well.

I did notice the Carrol Manor take over. Not too many other options in Hazard county. Looneys, Mavericks?

Cut? From Looneys. That's funny. My kids teams crush Looneys every time they play.

Funny how these post are anonymous and people still take them personal. LOL. I do not think Looneys cut anyone. We never considered them even as a team for both my 2019 and 2017 kids.

Add Thunder and Ground Control. Plus many Harford kids play FCA and Crabs.

Outside of Baltimore County, what other MD counties have multiple club teams to choose from that are competitive?

Montgomery County has Madlax, Next Level, Club Blue and Bethesda. MD Extreme is northern part of Mont County also.

That may be accurate, but CM coaches are running 2019, 2022 and 2023. That 2019 has been full of CM kids that haven't gotten better in the last 3 years but they still have their spot.

So 4 coaches out of 10 teams are running the program? 2023 has two teams, and only one of them have CM coaches. Aside from 2 directors, I believe the rest of the board of directors weren't associated with CM.

You're right, the rest are from Kelly Post. So are you saying the being so CM and KP centric hasn't hurt the club? Other than 2020 all the Orange teams will struggle this year.

Let's wait and see how the season progresses before saying "all" teams will struggle. What other clubs are a power house at every age group? Every club has good and not so good years.

Most clubs also don't fold their rising Junior and Sophomore teams. I've never heard of a club throwing in the towel for teams that old. Even if the teams weren't good, they completely abandoned those kids.

As a parent of a 2019 not this club team. This would crush my sons plans and goals for club lacrosse to switch clubs this late in the game.

18 kids left the Looneys 2018 team. What was the club supposed to do? The kids weren't abandoned. They left.

Obviously, it's an issue, but don't make it out to be something it isn't. I'm not a fan of the club, but this criticism is unfair.

The start of a new club program 4 years ago had a major impact on Looney's and Greene Turtle's older teams. Both clubs are focused on their younger teams and those teams are all pretty solid. This is old news.

And nobody new is interested in the club? What about the 2017s?

And if 18 guys leave, what does it say about the club?

It says that those years never recovered from losing coaches and players to FCA. That was unfortunate for Looney's then and now. HS club is very expensive because of the cost of individual registration in recruiting tournaments. Some kids don't make their HS teams or realize they don't want to play college lax. So the expense and time commitment is unnecessary and therefore less players play club. The ones that wanted to play found a home.

Youth teams are mix of solid to very good. Like most clubs some years stronger than others.

it says kids come and go every year. as good as a club is, they can loose players to new clubs starting up in the area. nobody is safe.

it says they had issues with the older teams, but obviously figured things out as they now have 10 teams from 2019 on down.

Why would anyone play for Looney's knowing that they folded their two oldest teams? That is like enrolling your kid at a K-12 private school in 7th grade knowing that the school decided to abandon the 10th and 11th graders.

Easy people. It's up to the other club coaches to research who is in. Looneys has done brandywine for 4years. They added some more depth. Crabs will be beat them by 6

2020 on down is competitive with good coaches and an enjoyable lax experience for the kids.
