On a lighter note, at least the pause on the season means less posts about the Skywalkers and their coach. Be safe folks and remember to wash your hands and keep your distance.
Are any clubs besides M&D collecting money for the summer season ? I am curious how clubs are handling the wait and see pattern for the summer season. Are any clubs offering refunds or credits for the spring season that now seems to be completely canceled ? I am not advocating one way or another - I'm just curious what other clubs (heros/coppermine/Skywalkers/MD United/hoco) are doing. AS this virus lingers longer and longer it seems possible summer won't even be played. Even if the lacrosse clubs and tournament directors want to play - the facilities and schools may not be open or available. I'm hearing of colleges beginning to close/cancel summer activities. There may not be fields to play on. I don't know how prudent paying for summer lacrosse is at this point - maybe a month from now we will know more. I'm just curious to see how it is being handled in different clubs.
anybody wondering how tryouts will go this year? do you think clubs will keep the same team from last season? this would be a big year for girls to make the switch to bigger and better clubs to get established on a team before the high school years start and the recruiting events?
Clearly, the right thing to do would be to push this year's squad forward without tryouts and only invite to backfill girls that decide to leave the program. I've heard it being done with other programs but not with our daughter's team. What will be interesting to see is how they run the Spring 2020 season as a tournament on Labor Day Weekend after programs have potentially gone through tryouts and begun their Fall 2020 seasons.
Out of curiosity, what programs have stepped up and continued to be a part of their daughter's life and which programs do you feel like they've dropped the ball?
No, most Baltimore clubs shut down after Mid Atlantic Club Championship, and some clubs start having tryouts for next season. Most go on vacation. We will let NY clubs play each other for some fake prize.
Seriously ?!? Just because M&D isn't in it or Chris Robinson doesn't make money off of it - does not mean it's a fake prize. Wow the arrogance of M&D people kills me
It's not just M&D people. Teams stopped attending nationals years ago. YJ wins every year because there is no competition. Not sure why Carol Rose continues to send teams there. There have been years that the championship has been between a YJ A and B team. Waste of time. Yes, it's the same weekend as Mid-Atlantic. Check the tournament websites for lists of teams attending the two tournaments and you tell me which makes more sense.
Also, no one wants to play Spalina's team.
Uh oh, with Nationals canceled guess who's coming to town?
If the MA actually happens it looks like M&D won't be winning their own tournament this year.

MA is not happening. All 4th of July celebrations are being shut down across the state because of crowds
Get a clue. YJ comes to Mid Atlantic every year and yes Spallina wins. Nationals is week after and it’s not a great tourney with the teams that qualify.

There is a tournament happening in MD the first week of July. MA will happen
MA is now a one day tournament. Maryland clubs doing all they can to avoid refunds
How do you know it is a one day tournament ? Is that published somewhere ?
all the clubs received an email from the tournament with all the specifics of how the event will run this year. you r club should have sent the out to all the familes.
