Is the formatting of the forums off for anyone else? The center column is suddenly very narrow - makes it hard to read long threads.

Yes, same here. Even on a desktop it is messed up. Also, you don't seem to be able to quote without errors.

It seemed once again the Annapolis Hawks put together another great club team at the 2026 level this past Spring in HOCO but had some hiccups over the summer. PLC came on strong with some added Hawks players from last year along with Looney's and BLC. FCA 2026 played A ball last year but I can see them moving to AA this upcoming year and opening some eyes. This is a fun age to watch for sure!

Long way from HOCO but this should be a fun year. Hope PLC and Green Hornets both move up to AA. Think there are two teams that could have played up.

Where are the PLC coaches going? They were a pretty solid team, and I am shocked to hear that they are leaving.
I know they had some former Hawks players on that team, but there was a lot of talent there.
From what I heard, the Crabs tryout was rather light in numbers again, and very little high end talent.

My son attended the FCA 2026 tryouts this past Sunday; in the heat of the day, Lord it was HOT!! I was impressed with the turnout; my guess was 50-60 kids and some BIG kids as well! Definitely talent on the field; we will be going back again Wednesday night at Stevenson.

If true, surprising to hear about PLC. They beat the Hawks and BLC in one of the June Hogan tournaments. Looked like a good program.

depends on where you live and what level of lacrosse you want. Breakers is a B level team, not the greatest. Same with Koopers.

Couldn’t agree more. We played Koopers last year. Most kids from last years team are going to Breakers, so that will just be Koopers part 2. IMO the best bang for your buck in the B league is Kelly Post.

They will have a team that they will play in either AA or A. Not sure if they have the horses to match up with Bethesda, Looneys, or Hawks.

The crabs brand only plays top tier even without the talent. Since 2023, a true elite team, crabs has had average teams that get stomped.

I heard the crabs tryouts were very weak in talent. Helmets included HoCo, G, Roughriders, Laxworld... Real hard to make an AA team from that.

Crabs was the premier high school club. It expanded down to 5th grade either the 2022 and struggled. 2023 was day dominant. No good teams since then. Too many good clubs that start earier and develop loyalty - fca, looneys, 91 Md.

Come play for us, we will guarantee you will get into the high school you want, even though you are 10 yrs old and high school is 5yrs away. That’s how they get their players. Sleazy as always.

Looneys is a decent team. 91 has never been relevant at 2026.
The following would be a starting point for rankings over the past 2 years of the clubs in this age group.(In the DMV area)
Hawks
Looneys
BLC
Diamondbacks
Former PLC
Green Hornets
Canons
Madlax
FCA
Roughriders
91
LaxWorld
Next Level
3D Select
Sidewinders
BLC (B Team)
Breakers
Zingos
HoCo
EastSide
Koopers
Rockfish

Not trying to be an butt but on what basis is Looneys the 2nd ranked team in 2026? Have they won any tournaments that BLC and the Diamondbacks were entered in? BLC won HOCO two years ago, Hawks won this past year. Those two teams seem to win most tournaments. PLC is the only club I have seen that has beaten both. Looneys is a decent team. 91 has never been relevant at 2026.

BLC was the fifth best team in the area this past spring. The HoCo results speak for themselves as do the results from the three tournaments they participated in. They took a step back in every facet of their game as compared to Spring 2017 including goals scored and goals against. I would rank them behind PLC.

No new clubs aside from maybe the bay raiders will have an impact this year. Some clubs will be down, but the top 4 should still be BLC, Hawks, Looneys, and Diamondbacks.

not a crabs fan but if they lose to any of the three programs mentioned above they need to immediately cease operations. Not sure why any parent would pay the ridiculous fees for any of these teams. Why not just play for the local rec organization and save your money. Is is really worth $2k so Johnny and Dad can say they play club lax?

I will tell you why ... because junior cannot make the top rec travel team so dad looks for a club at $2000 because roster spots and playing time are available due to market saturation.

No. The team will still have holdbacks and obnoxious parents.

I think HOCO will be a top 10 local team this year. They turned it on at the end of last season, they beat Zingo's twice, tied Green Hornets in a Fall Tournament game and made quite a few changes to their roster since then. I know the coach so I can arrange a play date with him if you want to have a Fall scrimmage.

Not in 2026, what did you watch? The Hawks spanked both Express teams that went to DE, though they looked a lot bigger so there has to be an age difference.

The reclass shuffle. If I played my boys at 2027 they'd be on any AA Elite team. So much in this sport is broken.
Lacrosse has to go to birth year like soccer.

Lacrosse has to go to birth year like soccer. Reclassifying is one thing, but I think that is less of a problem than people clam it is at the 5th grade level. If lacrosse goes to a birth year, then the focus of the complaining will be because a team has a bunch of early 2007 birthdays and their kids are 8-11 12 months older than our kids. My son played with a big kid all through youth and HS. He was probably 6 ft in 6th grade, he's in college now and may have only grown 2 inches since then. The comments from opposing parents once they saw that he was also an excellent player were embarrassing. "Where's his birth certificate?" "Play with your own age!" "Did you drive to the game?" Some kids are bigger than other kids their age, some kids are better than kids their age, and some are bigger AND better than kids their age. That doesn't make them cheaters.

This way the kids progress naturally from being the youngest to the oldest and, presumably, moving up in importance to the team. I've heard the team cohesion argument and it's ridiculous given the age levels we're talking about. And since USL and tournaments require birth dates upon registration, it's easily policed.

If Express played in HoCo they would not be a top four team. Long Island is predominantly a public school area so they don’t have older kids like our teams do. That is why you rarely see Maryland teams participate in the WSYL in Denver. Our teams don’t have enough kids that meet the September 1st age cutoff to field a complete team with their regular 19-21 players.
Express is always one of the better U13 teams at WSYL.
Next Level even had to recruit age eligible kids last year to join their WSYL team that did not play on their club in the spring to help them be more competitive in Denver. They were an average team in HoCo last Spring.
Long Island teams at this age are skilled but are behind in size and speed. That of course will change in the next few years.
Fifth grade lacrosse means nothing. It will all change after puberty. Ask any Dad who has a son on a high school age club team. Over 50% of the kids that were on that team in 5th grade are no longer there.
This age should be about developing your boys individual skills and having fun with your friends so there is no burn out.
And yes, the Hawks are a very good 2026 team and playing them is always a great challenge.

This is true look at Madlax. The 8th grade team has maybe one player that was on the team when they were in fifth grade and he is not even a starter.

For top teams this is pretty accurate. 50% of kids from 5th grade are gone by high school. Yet that won't stop parents from arguing who is the best 5th grade team as if it matters.

What is the argument to having an age based system where kids move up on their birthday, meaning when a kid turns 11 he plays 11 and under? This way the kids progress naturally from being the youngest to the oldest and, presumably, moving up in importance to the team.

I personally thing grad year is smart in youth lax. My other son benefited from playing with older, physically bigger kids who reclassed to his grad year. It prepared him more for high school lax. He was able to compete with guys 2-3 years older than him. There’s good in everything. Some of you bozos just need to look for it.

Dad of a Senior is high school here.
He will be graduating at the age of 17. He will be signing a D2 scholarship in Nov.
He played with a top Club team 4th grade to 12th. I fully agree he got better playing with the older private school kids for sure.
But its hard not to sit back at this time and say what if I held him back? I am seeing what his body will look like by the time he hits the field in spring. If he had one more year what could he do?
I can sleep well at night knowing we did it the right way.
One thing to note is he started on the U11 system then into Grade year teams in what 6th or 7th grade. He also lived through the old rule of Sept 1st Jr year.
I am guessing this rule will help boys like my son because the spots will be open longer. But time will only tell.

That last part is funny. USL only provides insurance. They do not police anything. Tournaments have CYA waivers but could care less about birth dates. Grade based only means that a player is supposed to be in the graduation year 2026, 2025 ect... This could be interpreted as what the parents may do in the future such as re-class, holdback, ect.... Clubs that do this the most run the tournament. There is no enforcement or even a desire to do so. These programs feed private schools that benefit from holdbacks with an extra year of tuition payments. In other words, there is zero motivation to police anything. There are a few age based events but you will not see any top local teams at them.

I think for most kids it drives them out of the sport instead of toward it. I reference the study Malcolm Gladwell and many others have cited regarding NHL hockey juniors in Canada. With today's databases, there's no longer a need for a class based system.

Lacrosse should be just like Hockey. Play with other kids born in your birth year. That way the maximum guaranteed age difference is 12 months. Or like Youth Football that has a weight limit.
Aren't we the only youth sport doing it the grade way?
In the system we have now the age range in a given game could possibly be 24 months. On my sons fifth grade team the number of months between our youngest and oldest kid is 17 months.
Why not go back to an age based system? College coaches only care about High School Juniors and Seniors. At NLF this past spring in Long Island not a single D1 coach was on the 2021 (rising sophomores) sidelines. I was there. I saw it.
We went to grade based because of early recruiting four years ago but that is no longer relevant.
Go ahead and reply with your "its good to play older kids" viewpoint but maybe your son didn't get a concussion that had to make him sit out of sports and school for a month with dizziness, fatigue and headaches. And before you trash me my son is a high level player on a HoCo AA team and not a bench sitter.
Playing older kids in non contact sports is fine. In the case of contact sports like lacrosse it is completely irresponsible in the pre High School years and is not preparing your son for anything except injury.
What is it going to take for Lacrosse parents to make a stand on this. All it would take is to change HoCo and NLF to age based and the rest of the youth landscape will follow but we are the only ones that can make this change happen.
I wish this was a forum about making our sport better and safer instead of a place where opinions are ridiculed. I guess I'm expecting too much from anonymous posters.
I'm pushing the leaders of my son's club to be proactive on this issue. I encourage you to do the same with your sons club.

Your are missing the true reason that lacrosse is not like the other sports. It is a private school sport and the hold back schools get an extra $25 to $45K a year from parents that send kids to private schools from K-12 if they go an extra year. The clubs use almost rent free fields from the private schools and many also coach at the school. What % of top club programs have STRONG ties to schools? GP, Bullis, BL, MCD, even Spalding. Do not worry if you kid does not hold back and graduates a little too soon they will talk you into a PG or Post Graduate year at yet another $25-40K per year with another school they have a relationship with on the advice of a private college coach who they know. I am not defending it just providing the other side so you know where to place your frustrations. Good luck!

Lots of games today in Columbia. Three teams finished 3-0.
BLC - beat Sidewinders, Arden, and 3D Maryland
Madlax Capital - beat Roughriders, Sidewinders, FCA
VLC - beat Next Level, Roughriders, and FCA
Crabs at 2-1 were the only other team with a winning record. They only lost to FCA.
Unfortunately, with ten teams entered most teams didn't play each other. Surprise to me is that Diamondbacks went 1-2. I only saw 1/2 of a Diamondbacks game but they didn't look like the same team. Couldn't hang with Bethesda. One parent mentioned that they lost some of their better players to the Hawks.
Still - don't think you can draw any conclusions from this. It is a fall tournament, first *cold* day of the year, and the wind was brutal. Good day but not much to learn from it.
Anyone know who is playing in the Halloween Havoc next week?

Doubt you saw half the game because you weren’t there, Hawks dad. But thanks for letting us know you got their better players. Everyone was dying to know what happened 10yr old players.

Jeez - this wasn't even a post about the Hawks. I was there and am not a Hawks parent. I watched the first half because the Diamondbacks were arguably the 2nd best team last year and BLC is always a strong program. BLC was controlling all facets of the game against the Diamondbacks. Won most of the faceoffs and controlled possession. Either BLC took a step forward or Diamondbacks took a step back. Or it was a cold flukey game...which it might have been.
Want some level of proof I was there - BLC was in blue jerseys and the game was played on one of the turf baseball fields at Blandair Park. I watched the first half before moving to a different field for my kids own game.
There have been a number of respectful discussions on the top teams in 2026. (It's why there is a board discussing youth lacrosse.) I like the Diamondbacks and their coaches. It's a good program but they didn't look like the same team yesterday. Which was somewhat "confirmed" by a conversation that I had with a parent.

The Diamondbacks have gone downhill ever since they merged with API. I would stay away from that program. Daddy ball is rampant, and the coaching is horrific.

I think HOCO will be a top 10 local team this year. They turned it on at the end of last season, they beat Zingo's twice, tied Green Hornets in a Fall Tournament game and made quite a few changes to their roster since then. I know the coach so I can arrange a play date with him if you want to have a Fall scrimmage. Didn’t they play down all summer in the B division after losing all spring in the A division? I guess if that’s turning it on... Maybe top 10 in the B division. Halloween Havoc schedule out. HoCo in B bracket. Keep dreaming big though.

hearing a bunch about the Hawks being the top team at this age group in the area. how did they do in summer vs out of state competition? They beat both Express teams in Delaware, pretty easily it sounds like. Hard to judge in October. Some kids are less involved in the fall while they play soccer/football. Plus they are 10/11 year olds so it's not worth it.

Great! Then we will expect them to actually play in the 2026 AA bracket at HoCo this year. PLC played in 2026 A this past spring and didn’t win the regular season or the championship.
HoCo is about consistency over the entire spring. Do that in 2019 and you can call yourself the best.
Also helps to play in the best tournaments like NLF or NAL but you are nowhere to be found in those.
Anonymous bragging about fifth graders strikes again!
It’s great that your kids are winning youth tournaments like Summer Exposure but if your goal is to have your son play high level D3 or D1 lacrosse then you need to put him on a team like the Hawks once he hits high school that will be in tournaments that those coaches will actually be attending.
You need access to the best club tournaments. That is the key along with attending prospect days at the colleges.. Even if your son plays for a great local high school program college coaches don’t have time to go and watch those games.
So instead of bragging about beating the Hawks you should be trying to get your son on the Hawks if you live in the Annapolis area. That is because they have access to the best tournaments.
I don’t live near Annapolis but if I did, placing my son on that Hawks team as early as possible would be the goal.
What is your long term strategy? To keep bragging?

Hawks 5-0 and won the SHIP
Mad Lax went 3-1 lost to Hawks in the Semis
Bethesda 2-1 and didn’t make the playoff bracket
I believe that Mad Lax went 2-2. They were 2-1 in the pool and then lost to Hawks in Semis. Good tournament for them. They look improved. More details Hawks 15 - South Shore 1 - South Shore didn't win a game Hawks 10 - Legacy Eels 1 - Eels went 1-2 Hawks 9 - Prime Time 2 - Prime Time went 1-2 Semis - Hawks 4 - Madlax 1 - Madlax went 2-2 (one loss in playoffs) Finals - Hawks 6 - BBL 0 - BBL went 3-2 (one loss in playoffs) Bethesda 12 - Prime Time 5 - Prime Time went 1-2 Bethesda 4 - BBL 3 - BBL made the finals and went 3-2 overall Bethesda 1 - Express North 4 - Express North went 3-1 - only loss to BBL in the semis Bethesda knocked off on goal differential. But they also had the hardest schedule in the pool. Spilt with two teams that made they playoff. Madlax 5 - BBL 7 - BBL made the finals and went 3-2 overall Madlax 6 - Towermen 4 - Towerman went 1-2 Madlax 12 - South Shore 1 - South Shore didn't win a game Semis - Madlax 1 - Hawks 4. Hawks went 5-0 to win it Hawks deserved to win it but also definitely got some breaks with the schedule. Still - a war of attrition given how cold and wet it was. Got to be mentally tough to survive on a day like Saturday. Some of the fields were nearly unplayable.

Nice break down but looking at goals scored vs goals goals against - Express North, BBL, Mad Lax, Bethesda and Legacy are very close together Hawks scored 34 goals and allowed only 4 in bracket play - maybe they had an easy road

- wash mud off your cleats. Use magic eraser and then wash in washing machine. Let air dry. Add bleach if they are white cleats
- for gloves/ arm pads/shoulder pads- wipe off mud, clean with magic eraser, wash with hex wash which is specifically made for lax gear in washing machine on delicate. Air dry
- take lacrosse head off stick, place in dishwasher top rack. Normal cycle. Leave heat dry on. Air dry the rest of the way till dry. Screw back into stick
Brand new gear!

Assuming the 6 from last year - Hawks, Diamondbacks, Looneys, Bethesda, Team 91 & Madlax. Then maybe Green Hornets, Cannons and AYLC?? Seems like a stretch for FCA, Roughriders and Crabs to play AA.

No, it sounds like the 2026 Cannons just went to a 26/27 team to get a full roster.

Shore Boys = 2027 Annapolis Hawks. Too good to play in the 27 brackets apparently. Team has a bunch of eastern shore kids, hence the name i guess. 3or 4 of the eastern shore 2026 Hawks on that team.

Well, no one knows for sure. But some have whispered that they’re the reincarnated souls of the members of the 1922 Johns Hopkins National Championship Team. I don’t believe it though.

Umm, or they didn't have enough 27's or 26's to form 2 teams so they have a combined 26/27 team as the name on the standings indicate.

Sunday except for the oldest division. When does the HOCO schedule get posted? They take forever to release it. I would bet, mid-to-late March.

the BLC 2027's, meaning mostly Mater Dei 26's, played and won 3 at the Next Level play day. Does that count? I mean they have over 20 kids on the roster and over 10 are born before 9/1/2008 and 2 are born in 2007. Seems fair.

You guys are hilarious. If the Hawks want to give their kids some run in the 2025 division, that's their business. If they get smacked, well then they should've right? If they win then good for them. At the end of the day until a team in their age group beats them then WHO CARES?
Focus on your kid, and their team, getting better and keep it moving. When you guys are constantly talking about certain teams is looks like you are swinging from their nuts.
Just my 2 cents
Oh yeah and let me guess you are gonna call me a Hawks Dad after this.

My 2 cents....
I'm a NL parent (2027), we played when that 2026 Hawks team sat and vice versa so I saw a good chunk of their games from our tents near fields 18/19. They looked pretty good at moments, but that size difference was pretty crazy. The BLC defense was huge, had to be a few close to 5'10-6'0. Assuming that there are some hold backs on BLC and the Crabs, the non hold back Hawks were playing against 13 year olds. That's asking a lot.

I'll put my name to this and not go Anonymous. Chris Wilkins. My son Eli is the 2026 goalie for AYLC, he was the Goalie for PLC the last 2 year and was briefly on both AYLC and the Crabs roster this fall, but we couldn't do both. Hawks are very good, they will be the team to beat this year. (Disclaimer, I am not Hawks dad, but my son had to choose between them and AYLC so I keep an eye on them and know people over there) They kept everyone and added more talent, so that's that. PLC did not "Fold", rather 13 players and the head coach left to go with AYLC as they were starting up the club program. I think I can give my honest opinion of the Crabs since my son played for them for a few months. The problem is 91 and FCA scooped up the top talent in Bmore county early and Crabs are fighting to get what they can. They will pull it together and be successful. Their Brand and time will help. FCA was one of the best teams I saw in the fall and last year and is solid all around. My son played for True in Box lacrosse this winter and we played 91 and they were fast and physical and very good. If Looneys keeps what they had from last year, we played them in a Championship game of some tournament wth PLC and won a 1 goal game. But they were very good. I do not know what happened to Diamondbacks. I believe they suffered the players leaving fate. I think that was our first game with Crabs this fall and beat them pretty good. Cannons 2026 as it was is done, they were awesome, but players and coaches split up. A team that is going to sneak up on people is VLC, they are solid on all levels and have some lights out shooters. I really can't remember too much about the other teams. These are simply some opinions with a name attached from someone who has sat and watched these teams play.

No shame in losing to 2025 competition and kudos to them for playing up.

Since you have played on a couple of rosters what are some of the good and bad youve seen in different teams. Which team are you playing for and why choose them over others . Sounds like you have a real pulse on the 2026 division

Not a Hawks dad but there's them and everyone else. They killed every team last year and there was no clear cut 2nd place. I'm curious too how they did against the 25's.

Looney's father here. The Hawks were the team to beat last year and I am sure they grabbed some more good players for this season and will be even better. That seems to be how they roll at every grade level. However, they weren't invincible last year. Looneys beat them twice in Millon's 2026 Invitational last June. Looney's won 4-3 on Saturday and then again on Sunday in an epic OT championship (OT was untimed and went on for like 15 minutes!) 7-6. Looney's lost to them in HoCo 4-5. It was the first game of the HoCo season.
Chris Wilkins, I was wondering what happened to that PLC team we played in the Blue Hen Tourney. Looneys tied you guys 6-6 on Saturday and then you beat us in the championship the next day. Great team and well-coached. Your son played great in goal. My boy is the Looney's goalie. Now I know to look out for AYLC this season. Good luck this year!
BTW, whoever said that FCA and Team 91 got all of the 2026 talent in the Baltimore area is not correct. Although Looney's did lose once each to those teams last season (both 1 goal games) we beat both of those teams multiple times each last season (often by pretty big margins). I know some kids who went to 91 this year (the better players from the Lax World team that folded). They will be better this year. I am sure FCA got some more good kids. Not sure either of those teams is going to contend for the HoCo title, but only time will tell. As for Looney's, they kept all of their starters from last year and got deeper at midfield and D. Should be a fun season.
Let's hope for sunny skies and warmer weather this season. Last Spring was brutal. Good luck everyone!

My son is a 2027 Cannon this year. They are a 26/27 team. Low numbers at 2026 and 2027 while 2025 and 2028 have plenty. This is our first year with them but from what I hear they lost their 2 best players to the Hawks and a few others to other teams. We could certainly use them!!

One week out to Hoco...is everyone playing tune-up games this weekend?
I know that Madlax has a play-day with AYCL, BLC Blue, Diamondbacks, and I think one other team. (Next Level maybe?) Do most of the programs have games?

Chris that is a nice summary and finally an informative post with some thought put into it; nice job!! I am a VLC parent and thank you for the props; we are growing together as a team and definitely headed in the right direction. Hopefully this will continue in the Spring/Summer months. We were in a play date last weekend at St. Andrews in Potomac, Md; VLC, Crabs, Next Level and FCA. We played very well against the Crabs and NL but FCA took it to us; 9 or 8 to 1 I believe. We played them in the Fall and they are vastly improved in all areas of the game. I am curious to see how well they do in the AA HOCO League this year but they beat all 3 AA teams Sunday. Hopefully we will see them again but they are fast and physical offensively and defensively with good ball movement. Crabs is improved but still needs to add some more talent; midfield looked good. Looking forward to the season; GO VLC!!!
