Travel expenses no. But I agree that the fees for the White teams should be less than that of the Blue teams as they don't play in the same caliber of tournaments meaning the entry fees are less.

It may as well be called FA, cause there is no part of the Christian values they espouse being actually applied to the team, players or parents. Not that it matters, cause most could care less that religion plays into their marketing. The team is good, they win, so continue playing for them. But please, spare us and anyone with a brain any b.s. about ministry. A prayer circle and reading a bible verse at camp doesn't make you a Christian. Like Reply Quote

Congrats to John Kelly for being awarded the scholarship! Shocker that the scholarship went to a Kelly! What a joke!!! A fundraiser that they helped to put on to get their own relative a scholarship. Sounds like someone should be investigated. FCA is a cult created to serve the Kelly's. Ohio St staff picks the recipient. Like Reply Quote

It was quite touching and showed how incredible of a young man that Johnny is. Such a testament to leaders that FCA produces like U19 Team USA Captain / world champion or UNC National Champions Team Captain. I wonder if the Kelly's paid off FIL and NCAA to win.

Re: FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes TLaxOne #262400 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A It was a well played game so I am not sure why there is any controversy; it could have gone either way. It is frustrating to see the back and forth and the cheap shots taken at refs and one's beliefs. I think we are better than that. Looney's is big all around and FCA had trouble handling that size; middies and attack of Looney's definitely gave them problems and it seemed like their offense just wasn't clicking. Tall attackman for Looney's was a stud and had very good footwork and stick skills. Looney's definitely added some nice pieces and I think could give HAWKS a run for their money this year. FOGO for FCA seems to be the real deal; if he didn't win every face off he made it a 50/50 each time....he isn't big by any means but he fought for each possession; was impressive to watch. FCA definitely has some talent both on attack (#9 and #25) and midfield (#2 and I think #21) but very little size so I see them having trouble with the bigger teams (HAWKS, Next Level) moving forward.

Think they mean well but they can be hypocritical. as much as they say its not a feeder to CHC it is, well over half the 2022 team is registered 9th graders at CHC. just own it no worries This is my son's first year with FCA and while I don't disagree with what you stated we could not be happier with the team, the coaching and the parents. They may have some 'issues' that you see with other teams; the difference is they address them immediately and do not let it impact the team. Our coaches go out of the way to be a part of the boys lives outside of Lacrosse which you really do not see in other programs. The good far outweigh the bad. That has been our experience since last Fall; now I know how this forum works so let the bashing of this opinion begin. lol I agree with what you said about the coaches taking interest in their players lives outside of lacrosse. That speaks volumes to a coach's character. More coaches should take notes on that. You get good things from your players when they get acknowledgment from you. It's just a fact. VISION To see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes. MISSION To lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. VALUES Our relationships will demonstrate steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ and His Word through Integrity, Serving, Teamwork and Excellence. Integrity We will demonstrate Christ-like wholeness, privately and publicly. (Proverbs 11:3) Serving We will model Jesus’ example of serving. (John 13:1-17) Teamwork We will express our unity in Christ in all our relationships. (Philippians 2:1-4) Excellence We will honor and glorify God in all we do. (Colossians 3:23-24) STRATEGY To and Through the Coach We pursue our vision and mission through the strategy of to and through the coach. We seek ministry first to coaches hearts, marriages and families. Then, when ready, we minister through coaches to their fellow coaches, teams and athlete leaders. Billy Graham said, “A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime.” With the influence of a coach, FCA recognizes the most strategic way to reach more athletes is to first reach the coach. Whoa... that's pretty extreme. I had no idea. Every club offers something different and its up to you to find what works best for your family. I just wish this forum was more positive instead of the constant bashing and negativity. Like Reply Quote

Re: FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes TLaxOne #282494 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Fca might have the worst parents in dmv lacrosse and they may not know what fca stands for. But the Kelly's didn't "take" money which is implying they may have embezzled it. Their insurance business generated 16 million in revenue from the system. Whether they used undue influence is a different matter. Like Reply Quote

I have no bone to pick with the organization and am a Christian, but either enforce what you preach or stop preaching it.

As far as club all goes; FCA is notorious for not developing talent and simply looking for the next best thing. I don't think any of the better clubs do a very good job of developing talent. Some of the less competitive clubs do a good job, but lose the better kids to the top clubs. Calver Hall never stops recruiting, they will always look to improve a position. If you are a top player at a certain position and attend CH, you aren't guaranteed a position. Example, my nephew was a defender, one of the best in the Baltimore, played on the top club team and was a D1 commit going into his Junior season. CH coach recruited some out of state defenders who were thought to be better players. Said nephew was going to be benched because of the incoming players from 3 states over. A good question to ask a varsity coach before attending a school would be, if they recruit from out of state, how many kids on a roster, will you be recruiting every year attempting to find better talent than the current upper classmen on the team. Some schools only recruit for incoming players, once you are on the team, you will only lose your position to another player already in the school or an incoming freshman. Some poor kid shouldn't get cut his senior year because the coach recruited out of state players for one season. Like Reply Quote

Re: FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes Anonymous #320611 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The point is, that a coach should not be recruiting out-of-state players and having them live with him. That doesn’t seem right. There are laws against that in college and it should not be different in high school. CH is not a boarding school. Because CH was so instrumental in ousting St. Francis from their schedule, you would think they would follow the rules. It is ridiculous. It doesn’t always come down to winning and losing. The lack of character is astonishing, just to get a “W”.

Re: FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes Anonymous #320624 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous The point is, that a coach should not be recruiting out-of-state players and having them live with him. That doesn’t seem right. There are laws against that in college and it should not be different in high school. CH is not a boarding school. Because CH was so instrumental in ousting St. Francis from their schedule, you would think they would follow the rules. It is ridiculous. It doesn’t always come down to winning and losing.

If they can, they all do it now to some extent, and especially the MIAA teams around Balt.. The league is supposed to be for local players and students. The rules are crystal clear on what and what not is allowed. Recruiting out of state clearly not allowed. None of the coaches even pretend like they go by it now. Character education at its best, as they say. Like Reply Quote

Difference is that Pogg brought in people that were not like Gilmans main student body. CH is not doing that. CH will thrive as they have for last few years, Time for the rest to break the rules Like Reply Quote

Re: FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes TLaxOne #320646 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Why wouldn't an out of state kid wants to go to a school that is #1 in the country in his sport? MIAA just happens to be the best lacrosse conference and CH is the best in that conference. Just bc the kids pick CH and not the others is no reason to bash CH. Not much else to celebrate about Balto. Harbor stinks. Orioles stink. Ravens stink. Hopkins stinks. Towson stinks. At least a HS is getting it right. Like Reply Quote

Clearly no recruiting , but yea, doesn't specifically say out of state. Go to MIAA site and regulation and Guidelines and then come back. Like Reply Quote
