Interesting perspective.

In summer tournaments you never know what roster a team is bringing and whether they beefed up with out of state kids, plus they are playing five games in one weekend, and teams play each other multiple times over the course of the fall and/or summer. So I always thought that a HoCo game (esp. a playoff game) is the one that "counts." Just my two cents.

One of the big benefits of a club-level league like HoCo is that there are no realistic excuses of why "normally we would have won that game." The competitiveness is as transparent as it can really be through the season. All players and coaches from AA to Elite should be blocking off those 7-8 weekends as "in season" for lax. Yeah of course, "well, a school conflict" and "but COVID," family emergencies etc, but those things happen to all teams at all ages, and a good club and good coach (from AA to Elite) can adjust for 1 kid being out on a random HoCo sunday. But absolutely, 100% of contributing players will be there 6 of 7 HoCo games.

Compare that to summer and fall tournaments and winter events (box, 6v6 etc) where there's always an excuse of "why we didn't have our top 5 guys." Or "we didn't win because the other team flew in 6 kids from TX who played entire games in tryout pinnies."

And yes, it's very ironic that the clubs who so vocally claim to "develop players" also stake their pride and their rankings on summer tournament wins where they are flying in guest players. 91 and Crabs immediately come to mind, but even FCA White used FCA Blue players in their tournament last week.....though that's hardly "flying in a player" I suppose. At least those kids all work out together all year.
FCA White brought down Blue players and had 3 guest players from 91 (downgrade of players) and still couldn't win the A division at Summer Exposure. Beware of the teams you choose to play for and respect to programs who develop their kids from try-outs and don't rely on BS rankings, guest players and out of state players.


Who cares.

One game a week, in crappy weather half the time, during the school year, overlapping Spring Break… yeah, I do like that we have HoCo but it’s not even close to the summer season when teams play 20-25 games, against the best from all over the country. To think HoCo is a better data set is naive

“Summer matters more” when you lose HoCo. Of course, we’ll revert to “HoCo matters more” next year when the good guys retake the crown.
How many times has FCA beaten Madlax? And I’ll give you the last 4 years to add them up. You’ll find the number to be 0.
NL has a FOGO that gives Madlax problems— if Madlax wins 20%, they win by 5+. Problem is, they can’t win 10%!

How many NL players did ML invite to play at Naptown? I will tell you the exact number: 2. The two that you can't afford to lose who have also expressed interest in playing for ML and have a lot of friends on the team. While they aren't going to play because of conflicts (to the best of my knowledge).....you can think about who as fall tryouts approach.

Oh come on. NL has a stacked roster with high-end talent at most position groupings: faceoff, goalie, midfield, defense. There aren’t two players who make or break the team.

Couple of good games in Vail today. FCA and Next Level won their pol games against weak opponents, but some great matchups with Mad Dog West Elite and JM3 today. I suspect Mad Dog West beats FCA, and NL beats JM3 in semis. NL with the tourney win

Heard NL didn’t even make it past the semis.

Thanks Madlax dad! JM3 is some all star team with kids from all over. We’re a DC team. Not an all star team. Madlax Nationals kills your argument there

5th or 6th loss in less than 2 weeks for Next Level. Some of these elite teams haven’t lost that many in 2 years.

Next level got lucky and won HOCO. They aren’t even a top-10 team or program nationally.

3d Dad here and this comment right here as bs I’ve never seen NL play but most likely this is right as this is the same situation with 2way and Express North as both of their teams top 2 middies do all the dodging and scoring for them. Also Venom has the same thing as their top attack man and goalie do most of that teams workload.

In most games, NL actually spreads the wealth on dodging and scoring between about 6-8 middies and attackmen.

"Some of these elite teams" obviously doesn't include MadLax, which has lost twice to NL alone in the past *three months.* Any Hawks parents want to do this board the courtesy of tallying up the MadLax losses to your squad over the past year or two? I'm putting the over/under at 5. My point is that there's a lot a parity and good competition in the 2028 age group. Hawks are a consistently great team. NL and MadLax are both very good teams that have the talent to beat anyone--and also the tendency of 12-year-olds to be inconsistent. But we're doing this little history lesson because NL losing to a couple of national all-star teams in summer competition has apparently stirred the MadLax trolls who can't handle NL's recent domination of them and insist that it's "lucky."

ML Dad Protocol on BOTC
1) Assert dominance of youth athletics. Evidence not needed.

2) Pick apart small parts of arguments against ML (but not the heart of the argument) to demonstrate other parents are "clowns" who "have no idea what they're talking about." No detail is too small to detract from the main argument and prove the ML critics are just "clowns."

3) Excuse all losses as one-off.

"the tendency of 12-year-olds to be inconsistent" — No. Not my 12 year old. He is consistent. He can play 100% in any situation, no excuses. Except for Vail...I mean, that altitude would do a number on anyone's lungs. But back at sea level, he's ALWAYS on. Unless it's above 80 degrees. And above 90, I mean you can't ask kids to play in that weather. But you give me any game below 80...okay below 75 degrees, on a cloudy day, at sea level, and my kid is GOING HARD. Unless it's below 55 degrees, or rainy. But other than that, he's on point. Unless the other team has holdbacks.

It the same NXT team Madlax beat 10-0 in March. Definitely some guest players, but Madlax played like dung nonetheless. Big let down game after a tough fought win over a very, very big and talented BBL team. That is an improved squad over the last year or two.

Madlax is supposed to be elite, but just lost to #46 team in the country. Would love to see Madlax vs Blue Claws. Could go either way. Unlike Madlax, Blue Claws beat NXT.

Their FOGO and their FOGO. They lose their FOGO and they’re a middle dweller.

Are you saying there is really just one player, or that are there actually two FOGO's?

I thought you were going to say the goalie and the FOGO; the bigger goalie is a difference maker.

Hawks 8- Venom 7 final.

Game was very physical and had some high level play on both sides of the ball. Hawks got punched in the mouth at NAL and brought a toughness (yes with some cheap shots they were called) that had been missing a few weeks back. Both teams worthy of a top ranking with Hawks being one better today. Very even and Hawks goalie was lights outt or is definitely goes Venoms ways. These teams will probably spilt matchups for the foreseeable future. Also, both are teams that are not some mercenary squad of “nationals” chasing T-shirt’s. Funny to see Madlax complain about guest players. Not sure how to handicap the Hawks V BBL matchup, the NJ team is legit and beating the best out there.
