That's okay because you will get to play the Blue team this year since you whined so much to get into the bracket.

Can't wait! Bring it twinkle toes

Is FCA BLUE going to play against all "A" level teams again this year in Koopers league, or will they finally challenge themselves? Shame you only compete in 1 league against top talent. It was a true show of character last year FCA BLUE playing the Koopers league against "A" teams and bringing down the 2019 goalie as well. True class there!

I assume that by you saying "That's okay" that you are admitting that FCA brings their AA team to A tournaments when necessary/needed. Thought so.

There was only one bracket for the 8 teams in the 2020 Koopers league last year so AA and A teams were mixed so your point is lost except that you are still bitter. Other AA teams participated in that same bracket including your own club. Take it up with Koopers who could not draw the teams in to separate A from AA.

Sometimes you need to fill open slots rather than forfeit. I am assuming you would rather have a win by forfeit than actually play a team and earn a win. FCA doesn't really focus on wins and losses but on preparing their players for HS and further on college lacrosse. Look at the commitments in the 17 and 18 classes. Anyone who thinks FCA is focused on W's is off base and ignorant of the focus of the club.

quick question for mr or mrs ex-breaker white/91P - Did you have any "guest" players for that 4th of July weekend?

Why did they have to fill slots?

Shame that FCA advises the tournaments their teams will compete ahead of time for scheduling purposes, however can't get commitment from the players or families to show up and play. Speaks volumes on the program and what families actually think of it.

Though watching the FCA White coach at indoor and the disgrace he was, I wouldn't allow my kid to play for him. Yelling and screaming during indoor, turning his backs on the kids...truly pathetic and not very Christian.

Speaking of indoors, the game before my sons game, FCA White was scheduled to play but they did not show up, not one player and I'm told the team they were suppose to play had no notice they were not going to be available to play. That speaks volumes for the FCA group. Christian, who knows, their actions seem to go opposite of that.

Were they all 2020? Yes. Were those kids rostered on another team's roster for that tournament? No. Moving same age players between teams up or down on a club is not unheard of to fill vacancies as long as the rules are followed. At least they did not take a page from the Crabs book and bring down older players.

bring "AA" players down to an "A" team and playing in an "A" tournament is just as bad as holdbacks. I'm sure some of the "AA" players were either holdbacks or prefirst as well...its the FCA WAY!

People relax. I know the coaches and am a coach. It didn't bother me.

Who cares if AA players are "playing down" to A to field a club's B team? If they are on age, there is no problem. Every club who has B teams does this. Whining about this weakens the legitimate problems people have here with youth lacrosse....mainly the holdbacks.

It sure bothered the coach on the receiving end - everyone heard about it then and now.

Did said coach not recruit his own guest players for that tournament?

Crabs bull roast this weekend. I heard the 2020 are the valets

It's cheating using fingers! Why have AA, A and B if you aren't going to be held to that!

The level you play in a tournament is chosen by the coach and is subjective-unlike age. If they were all 2020 and not dual rostered in the tourney, it is standard practice to fill in. You have to move past it Coach.

FCA = Federation of Cheating A$$'s

If a kid makes a "AA" team he shouldn't be permitted to play down on "A", however if a kid is an "A" player, he can play up on "AA".

It's a shame the only tournament 2020 FCA won last year was with the FCA White team with a handful of "AA" players. True class, can't compete with the big boys in "AA" so play against "A" teams. Did Ryan teach you that?

You and your son need to find a team/league where every player gets a trophy.

Can we move on coach as you are not getting the reaction you had hoped for. You lost for whatever reasons but it is time to move on. Hopefully, your kids are handling it better. Aren't you a "big boy in AA" this year? You can strut your stuff and give FCA dirty looks.

This is just another example of how US LAX doesn't govern their sport.

Why does FCA White seem to have difficulty showing up to tournaments or games? Why isn't the commitment there? Is this the reason Blue hasn't won anything, they have commitment issues as well?

Your son should go back to playing video games...you never die and can restart any time you want.

You should be a better husband to your wife, tired of her calling me while your at work.

"you're", not "your".

She told me in bed last night that she's tired of being married to an uneducated idiot.

YESSS!!!!! Here we go again... he said something about your wife... you gonna' put up with that ... (smirk... pop corn crunch ... coke sip).

Fca blue owns Looneys orange. Can't wait to see this game.

Hawks owns FCA Blue, really isn't even much of a game!

She is calling you because she works at the doctor's office where you are being treated for erectile dysfunction and incontinence. I now understand why you are so angry.

Bwaaahaaaaahaaahaaaa... amazing... God I'm glad I found this site.

Have they figured out who has the bigger one yet?

Think so, that might happen when you bring your 2019 team. Oh wait, that's right your 2020 team is very close to a 2019 team already. Bring a true 2020 team and it will never happen. You FCA people hiding behind Christianity is a total disgrace to any religious belief. I have sat near these parents last season, it is like sitting around a bunch of drunk hilljacks, the language is enough to make you want to just tell them to STFU. Plus yelling at the refs the entire game gets a little old. This organization needs to change its name or start acting like it's name, but not how you presently act, truly disgraceful.

Bigger what, brain of tool? The former would be very hard to determine.

Larry, why don't you start a 2016 MD High school thread for. What a hoot that would be.

That is far from the truth. The FCA 2020 team is not even close to a 2019 team. They do have 3 hold backs similar to the amount looneys, Hawks, and 91. A lot of lacrosse parents act like that on every team. Why do you even have so much built up anger at FCA?

No anger at all. Just observations and knowing how FCA operates. Some parents on all teams get a little worked up, but not the amount as FCA parents do. Why can't they just watch the game, cheer on their team and keep their mouths shut, at least the language. At lacrosse games, most of the time their are younger children in the stands, it's bad enough for an adult to hear it but children should not be hearing this type of language. I do question the number of holdbacks you state.

FCA added 3 holdbacks to the group of holdbacks and pre-first they already have!

The three you're thinking of were playing up and are true 2020s. They have 3 hold backs on the team that's a fact and why do I need your approval if i know that's the truth. If I had the birthdays of FCA 2020 I would be more than willing to show you so you would stop all this nonsense

That's how they show their love for their sons and the game. I question your statement on the language
