That's why I say if your son is a 2030 or 2031 and the rec club team is already good, it will probably get better. Don't bail. In Annapolis, Mesa is gone. The 2029s went (overall) to Koopers but unsure about the 2030s. Maybe that's "True Severna Park." On the other hand maybe True is just trying to position itself to buy out Diamondbacks and/or Sidewinders. DC talent, in order, is Madlax, NL, BLC, and VLC. True DC could not get a roster together at 2030.....and barely has a roster at the older age groups. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Anonymous #372130 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Dude. Every club owner is doing it for the money. Under the guise they want to grow the game. But if any of them wanted to grow the game they would focus on rec where all the other kids who can’t afford club have to play. But there isn’t any money in that so why bother….🤷‍♂️ Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Anonymous #372191 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous API used to have a good program - the market has become saturated. That's certainly part of it. But they've had backyard competition (Sidewinders, about 5 miles away) for 10+ (I think) years. Sure, the failed Mesa-MD effort and "True Severna Park" (lol) is less than helpful. But it is not awfully difficult to have a "decent lacrosse product" (from Elite to A to Rec) and have it be a profitable enterprise. The owner's comment of "too many complaints" tells me that it used to be easier to recruit a good roster (at whatever level) and parents' expectations were lower. Again, take a look at the Sidewinders page, it discusses coach:player ratios, average practices per year (85), touches per practice etc. As a business owner I look at the API owner's attitude about this and kind of write it off as, "It used to be easy for me to net $90K/year out of this, now it takes 3x as much work to net $200K." His choice as the head of Diamondbacks I guess, but I hope he does not expect anyone to feel sympathy that parents today expect a better product (and more of it) than parents 10 years ago.....and today's parents are being charged to the hilt for it.

When kids are having fun at something, they want to do it more! When they do it more, they tend to get better and have more success and accomplishments. It’s So important to make it fun at the younger ages. Most Parents make it too serious too young, Then, it becomes a job for the kid. I See so many of those kids on the older teams and usually their parents are the screamers in the stands! Kid looks miserable Like Reply Quote

Howard county area No need to jump on the top level teams at this moment in time. Let your goalie develop. Best thing for him is to play on the worst possible team. That way he’ll see all the shots and work on his mental toughness. A lot of these top level teams will cut all the deadweight by the six grade. By then your goalie should be elite level. And will make any team. Now granite there’s a lot of politics, for example the crabs. And the only reason I picked them is because they seem to be the closest team to you. If you don’t plan on going to one of the powerhouse teams in the area MCD and BL for example then chances are your son will be cut unless he’s one of the best goalies in the area. Part of their business model is to use kids status on private school teams. They make people believe that they had something to do with your Kid going to one of those schools. As if they develop them. Play on the worst team in the elite level that way you develop and you can observe. Take these two years to scout each team. Beware of the teams with the highly social goalie moms and dads. If your son is better and tries out for their team they will turn all the parents against you and make your life miserable until you find another team. Like Reply Quote

When looking for a team I would suggest you look around and find a coaching staff that you agree with and feel comfortable with. Maryland lacrosse is a garbage show. Seems like new programs pop up and fold every season. You basically have 2 choices: Real clubs: Crabs 91 FCA.... Club Rec: Ville Balt. Swarm BlueClaws..... Real clubs will cost you a bit more but will provide things like Goalie training, nice facilities, and as you get older the Name which will help with recruiting. The negative of Real clubs is the Bottom line is important so if they find better players the existing players get cut. Club Rec is often times much cheaper because the county recs pay for their field space. Their coaches are often dads and specialty training is usually poor. Either way at this age group most of the coaches are dads. There are tons of drama in both. I suggested finding a coaching staff because the kids will jump all over the place because parents are crazy. But having good coaches, dads or not, will encourage you child to learn while having lots of fun. Remember the kids are 10 so the only reason they play is because the like the sport and want to have fun. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Fred44 #385078 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A This is the time to start looking for elite clubs to play for.

When looking for a team I would suggest you look around and find a coaching staff that you agree with and feel comfortable with. Maryland lacrosse is a [Censored] show. Seems like new programs pop up and fold every season. You basically have 2 choices: Real clubs: Crabs 91 FCA.... Club Rec: Ville Balt. Swarm BlueClaws..... Real clubs will cost you a bit more but will provide things like Goalie training, nice facilities, and as you get older the Name which will help with recruiting. The negative of Real clubs is the Bottom line is important so if they find better players the existing players get cut. Club Rec is often times much cheaper because the county recs pay for their field space. Their coaches are often dads and specialty training is usually poor. Either way at this age group most of the coaches are dads. There are tons of drama in both. I suggested finding a coaching staff because the kids will jump all over the place because parents are fool. But having good coaches, dads or not, will encourage you child to learn while having lots of fun. Remember the kids are 10 so the only reason they play is because the like the sport and want to have fun. In this sport most of the coaches are dads. Community-based “rec” OR for-profit “real” clubs. Middle school and HS. Name a club and I will show you a dad coach/director. Any club. Real clubs cost more than rec but will also make you pay more for specialty training and every extra too. Their dads might also have better resumes but be worse coaches. Take it all with a grain of salt. The for-profit clubs send you emails for extras all the time.

Most kids come into hs with MAJOR fundamental issues. Unfortunately, details are not a priority with these coaches. Most just make their kids play 6v6, when they should be focused on footwork, spacing, and stickwork mechanics. Want your kid to be a hs student?

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Anonymous #402465 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A 91 only lost to Duke's Elite by 1 over the Summer but it was with a great guest FCA defender that ultimately joined Crabs. Don't expect them to improve very much from last year as they lost their 2nd best attackman to Crabs as well. FCA lost their best defender but will likely improve with a few good 2030 attackmen coming down from their successful 2029 team. In a stacked Elite division they'll have to battle to stay out of the cellar with 91. Crabs in addition to winning the AA division of HoCo averaging over 15 goals a game added top players from LTLC, 91 and FCA. They were 3-2-1 in the Fall defeating Madlax, Next Level and Hawks - only falling to Bethesda and Mad Dog National. Look for them to challenge for the top spot in Elite this Spring. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Anonymous #408558 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Definitely a lot of movement around teams with True combining their 2 local teams (Annapolis and Severna Park) into True Chesapeake and new ProStart younger teams program (they’ve only had HS teams up until now). ProStart’s 2030 team picked up kids from last years True Annapolis, Sidewinders, Hawks and Cannons from what I hear, but they appear to have gone AAA. My money is on BLC and Crabs as top teams in ‘23. BLC destroyed True Chesapeake this weekend and Hawks only beat FCA by 3. BLC and Crabs have more depth than the other teams and have more than one or two kids that can score. I also hear coaching staff on some of these teams don’t all see eye to eye so it’ll be an interesting year for sure especially if it all comes to a head. Can’t wait to see the fireworks!

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Anonymous #408843 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A This Crabs team moves the ball very well and the FOGO is incredible. Was a close game at half, but their ball movement wore down the defense in the second half. Very well coached team, going to give all teams in this league problems all year. As a new parent to 91, despite all of the fool amount of detest on these forums, their coaches are really good. I couldn't be happier we made the move.

The idea of creating a Top 15 list of clubs for 5th graders is ridiculous and serves no purpose other than to feed egos and line the pockets of club owners. There are no...NO..'great' players in this age group. There are only POTENTIALLY great players. The kids you think are amazing now.... it's meaningless unless they continue to develop. And most clubs don't put in the effort toward your kid that you expect. Other teams that aren't on this ridiculous list (and I've seen a lot of them play), there are some kids that could very well be stars on your team, and there are kids that can't seem to hang. There are teams with coaches that are active and involved and teams where the coaches seem unengaged and disinterested. While all of these can affect how well any team plays any week, long-term is going to come down to a matter of the consistent effort, energy, and attitude any particular kid develops. Being on a supposed 'top 15' 5th grade team is NOT how that happens. I don't care if the kid is playing elite, AAA, or on a B team. Attitude, effort, and energy they bring on a consistent basis is where it's at and the teams parading around like they've done something important in 5th grade that think that's going to carry them into and through high school.... sorry... no. Point is... lighten the heck up. Chill the f out. Try to go to games and just enjoy the moments where things are working, accept the situations where things aren't clicking, and be supportive of kids that aren't quite succeeding but want to be better. I seriously wish I could watch more youth lax where parents could calm down and cheer on good plays that happen on the other side of the field. A reckoning will likely come one day where your 'top 15' team gets blown out by one that isn't on your radar. You should be thankful for the opportunity to learn something from it. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2030 Midatlantic Anonymous #416050 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Don’t look in AA County! doesn’t matter the level or how long the program has been around they ALL play daddy ball. If even one of these clubs wisened up and brought in a real coach who truly had the teams best interest and not their own kids best interest at heart, their team would dominate! I’ve seen so many games lost over the years because dad coaches can’t see past their own kids and end up screwing everyone. They’d rather lose with their kids getting the majority of playing time than win with their kids on the bench where some of them belong. It’s in every sport I’m every town USA.
