Parents complaining on a message board isn’t what will cause any change. Especially when those parents are still paying for USL memberships and fully participating in club lax.

Like you clearly aren’t THAT outraged are you? Your still here paying for your kid to play right?

Isn’t there a separate board for holdback talk now?

My son is good on age, I think holding kids back is weak but it kind of kills this board if that’s all we’re going to talk about.

I also realize my opinion has no influence on other people.

Can we just get back to “what tournament are you playing?” And “the MadLax coach is nuts talk”?

Thank you! Who is playing in Maryland Fall Tournament? Looks like there will be 2 divisions.

Pretty sure the event on October 17 at bland air will include a Madlax, next level, crabs, and BLC. The Hawks are over in Delaware, and I believe FCA is as well. Any other Intel out there? Predators????

Bunch of holdbacks last I heard ...couldnt resist

Somebody earlier posted a pretty thorough list of teams in DE. Yes Hawks, FCA, BBL, sweet lax and a bunch of others from out of state. Actually a great group. I don’t actually think crabs are in MD on the 17th either.

My son plays for FCA, team looks good but i imagine it will look a little rough at first with 9 new players and new coaches with 4 practices but very promising longer term.

Lastly, I spoke to a mom recently who doesn’t read this board and she mentioned Preditors. It was hard to contain the laughter, but she was serious. Good for them.

Soon the Predators will strike !

Predators are coming .....the wait will be over soon !

Md tournament schedule up. There is a predators sighting. Playing Madlax, Mesa (PA), and BLC. The new VLC team is also there and there will be an NL-Madlax game. Should be an interesting tournament

Predators just announced they added the McDonogh head coach as co program director.

That means something I’m sure - not sure what but it’s at least something to note. Not clue how this fits with the SP feeder thing.

Madlax 17- Predators 1

If the Predators stay within 10 goals of Madlax it will be an accomplishment.

Great competition in DE on the 17th. Hawks, FCA, BBL, and some northeast teams. Fall lax isn’t a great barometer, but hopefully gets this board off the holdback absurdity...

If "regional expansion team history" tells us anything it's that they will move toward a two team system over the course of the next few years, generating plenty of spots for SP kids as well as McD kids. And plenty of $$$$$$ to pay all those MIAA and college coaches lol.

If they somehow eke out some wins at the Elite division, "suddenly" there will be a Preds National Team.

He’s not a holdback

Take it to the holdback board.

Everyone wants to see the Predators, but they are likely hiding in the shadows this fall. We wont see the Predators until it's too late.

10/17 9:20am

Madlax v Predators

Only time I hope Cab keeps the pedal
Down

I was going to disagree, but it’s one way both can look bad…
Cab doesn’t need any help though.

Okay Predators Dad!!!

Hopefully Cab can really pound the Predators and make those kids pay for all the smack the trolls have been posting on here!

Bethesda and Mesa will also pound Preds into the ground. 0-3 out the gate.

I know nothing about the Preda but what are we really expecting from a team with 4 practices?

I bet 90% of the trolling was from not pred people.

They are a new team that is probably towards the lower AAA level with minimal practices and no goalie all fall. Not to mention this is FALL. A lot of kids playing football, soccer and hockey. Somebody get this guy a chill pill.

If this is all true, why did you sign up for this elite tournament Preds Dad? Ever heard of Aloha? You sound like the one that needs to chill, signing up for a tournament that is way out of your league.

Nahhh bro. The Predators trolls have been going for months now. Time to eat crow

Koopers/91 Dad #1: "500 fake Preds posts"

Koopers/91 Dad #2: "Time tO eAt CrOw oN tHiS aNonyMoUs FoRuM u PrEdS CrEeP!"

lol you bunch of hot heads.

He is a holdback...not that it means anything except he cant compete against kids his own age.

So you want to see children get pounded for the smack talking of adults on a message board. You are really a sad individual.

Someone is upset about a new club making an impact in Balt. What is it? Your son not good enough to make team, or did your team lose some good players to Predators? Jealously and Bitterness are not good qualities to live with,

Waaa Son didnt make the team, Hit The Wall !!

Poor guy, You really are a hammerhead with your anger, Maybe have your son practice harder and make a class org Predators next year.

Maybe to see what they got. I expect they are thinking they got some talent . I heard earlier about some talk about them?

I suspect 2-1 or maybe even 1-2 with some close games.

That goalie for Nationals showed out. Otherwise, it was mainly the locals who made the biggest impression.

Confirmed, VLC dad here - new team with five practices under our belts and first three games are against Next Level, Bethesda and MadLax. Should be . . . interesting?

If his kid is in the 6th grade and turned 12 after 9/1/21 that is not a holdback. He is a true 2028.

Did you read what he wrote?? His son missed the cutoff of Sept 1 by 5 wks?? That means, he turned 12 prior to Sept 1 by 5 weeks, got that.

There’s a board for this.

A holdback is a holdback, you’re not changing anyone’s opinions either way.

He also started the post with "holdback dad here" . . .

Good slate of games in Blandair next week.
Does madlax go 3-0? (Probably)
Does VLC have enough to play with the top teams? (Good club, I hope they do)
Which team will surprise? (Mesa maybe)
Not a lot stock in fall but good to see the variety of team mixing it up. Delaware sweet lax event should also have some good ones but nothing on the machine yet.
