Our team played Looneys this past weekend in the playoffs. They are very well coached, and the kids and their coaches could not have carried themselves any better than they did.

Any club team that is located in Baltimore has holdbacks. In the case of FCA and Crabs it is an integral part of their success. Bigger, older kids beat younger kids. When teams are putting kids on the field with beards in the 8th grade something is obviously not right.

FCA 2020 FOGO has a Spring '01 birthday. He's just good. FCA 2020 has ONE holdback and 3 on age 2020's who have spent the last three years PLAYING UP, not down. Yes, that's correct.....they played up, not down. They didn't reclass to play 2020 this year.....they played with both 2020 and 2019 because they are rising 9th graders.
Please stop hating just because someone else is good at lacrosse.


you are full of it! FOGO is a 02 birth not 01. Also there are many kids with spring/summer 01 birthday on the 2020 blue team. They all should be 2019! I know there are at least 3 kids who were held back at one point or another (1 middie, 1 attack and 1 def) plus the goalie from 2019 that moved down is a spring 01 birthdate.

FCA is truly just a bunch of praying sad crabs,


This is why the whole holdback BS and playing down is bad for Lacrosse. Youth Athletics was to be played according to your age.. If age based ..like soccer with cards..All everyone would be moaning about is coaches, refs, teams, etc..but not the players.


take a look at the Under Armour roster. FCA goalie has an Aug 27, 01 Birthday. not sure that is late Spring????

Blackwolf cancelled their second camp session this summer....is interest drying up for this club? They had a hard time fielding a 2019 team last year....will Trig be able to field a 2020 team? It looks like the youth effort failed. What's up with BW?

Well if Trig was a honorable person he would fold or leave his travel program and work with his new High School team. SJ. This is a conflict of interest.

To me, having an Aug 27, 01 birth date is very different from someone that repeats a grade that has an 2000 or early 2001 birthdate. 3 days from cut off is not the same as being 10 to 12 months from cut off.

Nice strawman! The occasionally waiver for a kid just missing the deadline would hardly get a word. But the pushing of the many many holdbacks to its limit has got the constant stream of vitriol directed at it.

Why? It's no different than when he coached at SSSA. I'm just wondering if he can keep it going....seems to be waning.

Ok it was not the correct thing to do when he was coaching there also. I am all for any high school coach coaching a travel team but to be in charge of a for profit team is just shady. I have the same issue when a public high school coach, Coaches a travel team and the indirect pressure is for you kid to play for him not the best team for your kid.

Obviously you are not at St. John's watching all your son's teammates running around this week trying to get on BW. Put the computer down and drive over, you'll be amazed.

So that will be the true test if the 2020 and 2019 teams are 85% STJ kids. So who gets the biggest bump if they do fold. VLC,Madlax or a team in Maryland?

Another forum is reporting that BW is folding. Any confirmation on that? I'm thinking that's good news for madlax and VLC if true. It is supposedly confirmed that Trig is coaching St. John's now but he's not on the website.

Agreed. If that frustrates you then you need to find something better to get heated about. Not to mention, it's not as if the kid is pushing other kids around on the field. He's one of the smaller kids on the team.
And please do some research next time you want to point fingers. Two of the kids that you have mentioned have NEVER repeated any grade and are not holdbacks.

Stop hating!!!!!

The fact that you compare players who have never repeated a grade to ones that have in some cases repeated twice is ludicrous. You are splitting hairs.

FCA does not have any kids who are driving yet on their 2020 team so let's make sure we are comparing apples to apples.

Most kids are classed appropriately and I don't think that most folks have any problem at all with a kid who is a few days or months older than the cut off date. This is not what anyone considers an advantage. Summer 2001 birthdays are not "cheating" and, quite frankly, I don't really get nervous when my kid's 2020 team plays against a team that has a dozen holdbacks and a few double holdbacks because I have confidence in my kid and his teammates to bring it.

It is a lame thing, but it happens without anyone stopping it. The Madlax guy coached at Potomac while owning Madlax. The former coach at Langley owns VEL. The coach of Briar Woods owns Cavalier. It is a conflict of interest and kids get pressured to play for those clubs. It is completely wrong, but nobody says anything.

If it is grade base it is not cheating according to the rules. And if summer birthdays are ok,,Then double holdbacks are ok. You cant have it both ways?? Frankly anyone no matter what their age is not cheating as long as they are in right grade.

This theme of its ok with summer birthdays for select heldback/prefirst kids is wrong. It is either all of them should have this advantage or none. Make the birthday of June 1 and let any kid play in that age bracket regardless of grade. Why do mainly only private school kids get this advantage?? Let everyone who wants to enjoy it. That is the RIGHT way to do this issue.

Most people DO have a problem with this whole playing down in YOUTH sports. It goes against the spirit of youth athletics.

None of this will change until an age based system is used. There are BOTH public and private school kids who have never repeated a grade or gone to Pre-1st who fall into this category of "playing up" as you call it with summer '01 birthdays. For whatever reason, their parents made a decision very early in their lives to send them to kindergarten later than most.

But it is really fun to watch you rant about it on this forum.

That is the RIGHT way to do this issue.

Most people DO have a problem with this whole playing down in YOUTH sports. It goes against the spirit of youth athletics.


None of this will change until an age based system is used. There are BOTH public and private school kids who have never repeated a grade or gone to Pre-1st who fall into this category of "playing up" as you call it with summer '01 birthdays. For whatever reason, their parents made a decision very early in their lives to send them to kindergarten later than most.

But it is really fun to watch you rant about it on this forum.


It is actually more fun to see people like you show your character as you defend letting only select children get an advantage over other children the same age. Fun to see you switch now to kids who play at the proper age as " playing up " LOL.. Is that what it is when you play at your proper age now in Maryland? Not the older prefirst/holdback children are playing down,. Funny Funny,,

FCA doesn't stand for Christian anything. They are the most anti Christian club around. Kneeling down on one knee prior to a game does;t make you a Christian. Crooked would be a better word.

The worst team we played all summer by a wide margin - in terms of the way their kids acted on the field - was FCA 2020 White.

Is it cheaper because the church subsidizes it?

. The Catholic Church/religion has nothing to do with FCA. There is no connection at all.

Religion has something to do with it. What are the annual fees?

You must be from Legacy Taz still upset they beat you the week before and not good enough to play in NLF or from the LI Express team they beat. Either way, Tourney ended 2-3 for them. The parents and coach were respectful during our game but that would ruin your continued trash talk of the team. Moving on...

The fees are less because they are not a for profit organization. Novel idea that the club's focus isn't on making money. the club is a Christian organization, not tied to any church.
