"The bottom 4 are really bad

Totally disagree....Looney's is fine. They had a bad Spring for sure, but we do have talent. Injuries hurt us. Just need more offense. Next Level was first year in Elite, and they played good teams tough.

Would agree with really bad on FCA and 91. Not much there on those teams"

These teams will be fine. Elite talent being plucked away on lower divisions already. Those "best" players in AAA, and AA will be replacing the weakest links on these teams.

That was in 5th grade.

So the play in game will be BLC vs True and the winner gets Hawks? Madlax vs Crabs? Crabs vs Hawks in the SHIP

Not very nice but I’ll give a few answers. Games are being played to win, not all kids see the field at 2026. Playing time is earned in practice.
Players are coached to their skill set and specialize (defensive middie vs scorer etc). Better teams/organizations teach a system so players can shuffle into a role with different personnel and not miss a beat.
IQ is drilled in practice so the coaches can “let them play” in games. Oddly enough, HS and college has to coach much more due to roster size and having multiple coaches running every facet of the game. This age group has the advantage of being together for multiple years in a system so the coaches can make adjustments in games but don’t need to go crazy with on field direction.

"so players can shuffle into a role with different personnel and not miss a beat." AKA wherever they can beg borrow or steal a player from God knows where to fly in for a weekend and steal another kids playing time.

Well, not really. I suppose if you just look at W/L records, then the bottom four look pretty sad.

Dig a little deeper. Look closely at the goal differentials in the games and overall.

If you watched some of these games, you would have seen some well-matched teams.

As for Looney's, not having a faceoff guy had a big impact on their season.

I didn't get to see Madlax play this season. Impressive that they only gave up 28 goals this season.

Is that a good defense and goalie? Or more their style of play? Curious if they are intentionally trying for low scoring games or if their defense is just keeping them in it.

Agreed, there is more parity in this division than a lot of people were expecting. Hawks only beat MadLax by 2, and only beat NextLevel by 2. VLC beat Looneys yesterday by just one. Way more games were close than not. Congrats to all the teams for competing in the elite division.

What '25 91 kids are double holdbacks? Please be informed before you type garbage on here. And to label a class as 'weak' is comical.

Watched the Hawks vs Madlax game, Madlax had a great goalie!

Please stop. There is no relevancy at all for 91 at the 26 level. No one is going to talk about your kid or 91. Go away

From a parent perspective, who is worse...91 goalie Dad or short, bald Hawk D Dad? I am having a hard time deciding.

I don't know, but in my book the standard for measuring parents is the same as for refs, and to a lesser extent, coaches - if everybody is focused on the boys and nobody notices you, you have done a great job.

Why don't you ask your husband to say something to them if it bothers you so much. I think I know why, but I want to hear you answer. Most men will confront an issue, but I get that moms have a harder time with it.

Actually, most lacrosse Dads just move further down the fence where they can enjoy the game, thinking to themselves "what a lost, glad I'm not him." And they will laugh at those type of Dads (and in particular those two!) with their friends from a distance. It's the Moms are more likely to get into it.

This is such a spot on/expected retort. Very true to who they are.

Calling out of people as an unregistered user seems to be the norm now here as well as team shaming. Kinda ruins the boards...... these are all kids out there busting their butts in a great sport, at all the 2026 levels. Teams will reload and some won't.

Grow up and make this site relevant for the lax fan/parent/coach/player.

At least the trolling by others brings out a laugh, yours is sad and desperate and repeated 200 times in 300 pages. With all there is to make fun of with 2026 youth lax, you're still here beating a dead horse after he went 7-0. Keep fighting the good fight.

Take your emotion out of your crazy predictions. Hawks are the best team around without any facts to dispute this.

Not a Hawks parent. And I do think some of these Hawks parents do need their head examined but Hawks are the best talented team currently. Unless DC Express or MadLax picks up some more skilled players from other clubs and train the whole team up, none of the current teams can beat them.

It’s the playoffs, anything can happen, including more skilled players showing up.

Unlikely. Hawks sweep. Nobody else has a realistic chance.
