But Madlax could easily end up with a lot more if things break well for them in the playoffs

Can Madlax include their players who play on their Capital teams that live out of state on their roster for HoCo? For instance they have a FL and NC kid on their 2025 Capital Roster.

What is with all the smoke and mirrors in youth lax. Capital team, egional team National team. When you compete with kids brought from all over the place on a local level it is worse then holdbacks. Show up with what you got.

It's not that big a deal and different sports do it all the time across the country. We planned a vacation last summer and reached out to the local teams to see if he could play while we were there. Several said no problem and happy they could help.

That's the last thing I am thinking about on a vacation.

That's the reason your son wont go D1.

What quality team is taking some vacationing kid on for a tournament?

Any mid-roster player in elite or aaa in this area is immediately one of the top players on just about any roster in the country. The tournament dates for that team didn't match up with the vacation but our kid got to go to a few practices and had a blast. Sweetlax.

This story keeps getting more strange. A DC/Baltimore family goes on vacation to fly-over country and asks if their mid-roster son can drop in on a random, inferior team's practice to use it like a free clinic? And this proves he is on track to be a division 1 player. Okay, got it. And that's relevant to the original discussion of MadLax flying in kids for HoCo games how?

I guess that one week out of 52 in a year that I let my son vacation and not go to lax practice is going to cost him that sweet sweet D1 ride for lax! Take a stick and have a catch on the beach or wherever you go. If you are making your kid go to practice when you take him on vacation I think I speak for everyone here when I say. Get a life.

That's because your kid stinks at lacrosse and rides the bench. You shouldn't force the kid to bring his stick when he obviously isn't any good. The pp said the kid went to a couple of practices and had a blast.

Your son obviously does not have what it takes to play D1. Maybe Baseball ?

I recall talking to a Midwest family who's kid was playing in MD for a "National" team. They said their Summers are an extended East Coast road trip. The kid plays for various teams and coming out to the East he is able to play a lot of tournaments against better competition.

Now this scenario makes actual sense. A good player from a top HOCO team (assuming, since the kid is going D1) going to where there is lesser talent just to practice with them while on his family vacation does not. Clear only child being raised by an only child dad.

I think the other scenario makes a ton more sense and you're not going to criticize a midwest family for basing their whole summer around lax. And the pp said the kid played for Sweetlax, not some HoCo team in the B division.

Status of 2026 Registration:

Elite 18 openings remaining
AAA 16 openings remaining
AA 16 openings remaining
A 17 openings remaining
B 19 openings remaining

Can you clarify what this means? "18 openings remaining" for 2026 Elite---that can't possibly mean an 18-team elite division?

Clearly there must be a mistake. No way they allow any B leagues. The breakdown must be:
Super Elite
Elite
AAA
AA
A

Lots of Lax Dads will be happy with the thought of this. Their kids were just promoted!

That's what I meant, the midwest kid story makes sense. I assume sweetlax Florida. Unless he's vacationing in Rochester.

Looks like a "B" level facility in the middle of nowhere, for "B" level teams.

They usually come out on Sunday or Monday before the season starts, so that would be 3/14 or 3/15.

Howard County makes no sense. So don’t be surprised if they remain closed and parents are forced to stand shoulder to shoulder along fence lines. Brilliant, Howard County Parks&Rec, well thought out.

I was going to say expensive but Koopers was about the same in terms of individual player costs. gosh, maybe US lax should actually run something for all that talk of growing the game!

Are teams able to choose what div they play in? Who makes the call when you need an even number and teams are evenly matched?

Teams make a request but there is a Competition Committee that decides what division a team is assigned to.

Zingos might be, but my son played on a Crease team last year and Crease is pulls from different clubs. We couldn't do it this year because of wrestling, but he plays in the Crease high school league. They do a decent job running their programs.

Based on where teams played in 2019 Spring season, head-to-head wins in the Fall 2020 tournaments, and USCL Fall 2020 rankings this is one possibility. Note that * = programs are not confirmed as having a 2025 team. Additional criteria was to make even number teams in each division, and of course applying the WAG principle.

Does anyone know what weeks Hoco runs this year?

Games start on 3/21? When does the regular season end? And two weeks for the playoffs?

Just trying to get schedules lined up for all of my youth sports.

thanks!

Is that FLC, Fallston Lacrosse Club?
If so, how in God's name is FLC fielding an AA team after their entire AAA team bailed to Koopers?

Because "AA" is basically the B level teams. "A" and "B" are the C teams, just divided based on how realistic (or desperate for a few wins) the coaches are.
