I’m not as confident as the trolls here.

But I will say- the 91’s ‘27 team has some promise. They have some nice players. We will see.

No, Mark, 91 does not have better holdbacks (what even is that?) because you help them hold back at the right school. That is a preposterous theory from your own mind.

The 2022...I mean...2023..... and 2025 91 rosters have stayed intact because they had Mark's personal supervision, and the other kids and parents were willing to take Mark's advice and #1 hold back, #2, get the ball to the Millon kid at all costs, #3 just trust that if the team is highly ranked, by default, your son MUST be getting high quality developmental training, and by default he WILL be recruited to D1. What an insane proposition....one that only lax parents would believe.

By the time they realize those maneuvers were just part of the Mark Millon Show, LLC, they're sitting on the sideline of a Connecticut tournament, paying $300/night for lodging while watching a bunch of 20 year olds from Texas play in their kids' spots. And reviewing Millon's email to them about how their son should consider a couple post-grad years and maybe apply to a D1 school as a freshman when he is 21. #wisdom #eliteplacement #passitto9 #9isopen

MM has shown time and time again that he has what it takes to get your kid to a D1 program. Look at his extra programs that tie in with his top 91 program. Hardly anyone out there doing it better, FACT !

I think your most recent claim was "nobody does it better in Maryland, NOBODY. FACT." So I'm glad you've backed off of that ledge for this nuanced version.

I think it's fair to point out that MM's idea of "what it takes" is telling starters' parents that their boy needs to repeat 8th grade if he wants to continue starting for 91, wants to get into an MIAA-A program (not next year, but 18 months from now), and get recruiters' attention in 10th grade. If you just do that, yes, MM will provide you all kinds of network connections, as he should. But really, those parents and those athlete's are making Mark's job quite easy, "here's a 150lb, 5'10" 8th grader who has played club ball since 2nd grade, yes, true, he is almost 16! Which makes him very mature!" Yeah, most coaches would want to see that kid.

My son is a 6’ 150lb on age 8th grader starting on an elite team. Should I hold him back this year, before hs or later?

Or just let him continue on his normal path?

Very difficult to hold back after 8th grade unless he does the hockey model (post grad year at a prep school). And unless that's done at a lax-focused PG prep school, recruitment back to highest-level D1 can be very tough (because it's not hockey).

My biggest question for him would be "Why?"

The only reasons/situations/excuses for when the "why" makes sense:
1) Money (MIAA tuition) is no object
2) Your kid's most intense dreams cannot be met if he is the #300 recruit or the #30 recruit (cut those numbers by 1/4 for holdback benefit).
3) Your son's earning potential will not be impacted by starting his (non lax) career a year later, ie, you own a business and will give him a job at a very high salary regardless of whether he finishes college at age 22, 24, 25.
4) You own a lacrosse club or lax related business, and you demand that your son's performance level become a centerpiece of your own professional success and branding for several years to come.

Everyone's different, but for my sons, it did not make sense to hold back based on those 4 realistic scenarios/reasons/excuses.

I mean, they are backwards for *my* family. I can't project that onto other families (though you just did) but I think most people, if they did an unemotional analysis, would really understand that it doesn't make any real sense for their family either.

For my sons who are both "on the radar" and want to do "something with lax" in their adult lives (marketing, coaching, etc, they're not yet sure), but our family business (which they don't want to participate in) isn't in the sports industry, it doesn't make any real difference if they play upper D1, lower D1, upper D2, upper D3. Yes, the connections are a focus at any college or lax programs are a focus for us, but hey, we live in LaxTown USA and they play for and attend an MIAA-A school. Most of their college costs will be covered. At some point, as parents, haven't you done enough?

Nobody ever talks about the substantial number of prep school holdbacks who get on a D1 roster, detest it, and drop off the team. I play with several such guys in mens league lax. Talk about throwing a wrench in your kid's stats lol. One day he just walks!

With all of this nonstop chatter about the MD holdback model and why it’s so good, I just wondered what your objective thoughts are on teams that have none and compete and succeed against teams that are 95% holdbacks. Please don’t respond with the canned holdback parent cliche about how they don’t exist. They do exist and they have always existed. Birthdates are listed in the IL database, so your standard denial response isn’t going to cut it. Seriously. What do you make of it? Maybe the whole holdback loop hole/deception game isn’t the right way to go after all?

I agree. It really doesn't make a difference so why do you keep talking about it?

It doesn't make a difference until U-16.
Prior to that it makes a massive difference...Stop lying to yourself that it doesn't matter.
This is why no one cares about holdbacks once they are older.

Also, what teams specifically have zero holdbacks?

Want your kid to succeed in HS lacrosse, on-age?

I stumbled upon it with my first kid, and it worked just as well with the second:

Play him a year up from the time he starts in 1st grade.
Try to stretch that to playing 2 years up from 4th-6th.
Don't worry about level (ie: AA, AAA etc.) of lacrosse. Just have him competing against older, bigger, stronger and faster kids.
In 7th have him play just 1 year up at the highest level he can manage. Focus on proper stickwork as much as possible.
In 8th have him play on age at the highest level he can manage.
Your kid will be used to playing with kids older than him and be fine if he goes to the MIAA.

Interesting. This shows a lot of integrity which is rare in club lacrosse.
How do you play "on age" if the majority of kids in his grade group are a year older?

It’s true. And both my boys played in HoCo, in MD.

It was not originally by plan though. Totally stumbled upon it when my oldest’s kid’s rec/club team couldn’t field a team. We missed tryouts and had to play up.

It was a tad more intentional with the younger kid. I didn’t want to pay $2-3k for a meh club.

But we learned our lessons from the first one. As I mentioned, don’t forget to do stickwork. Playing on those lower level teams make stick practice and reps more important.

No, Mark, 91 does not have better holdbacks (what even is that?) because you help them hold back at the right school. That is a preposterous theory from your own mind.

The 2022...I mean...2023..... and 2025 91 rosters have stayed intact because they had Mark's personal supervision, and the other kids and parents were willing to take Mark's advice and #1 hold back, #2, get the ball to the Millon kid at all costs, #3 just trust that if the team is highly ranked, by default, your son MUST be getting high quality developmental training, and by default he WILL be recruited to D1. What an insane proposition....one that only lax parents would believe.

By the time they realize those maneuvers were just part of the Mark Millon Show, LLC, they're sitting on the sideline of a Connecticut tournament, paying $300/night for lodging while watching a bunch of 20 year olds from Texas play in their kids' spots. And reviewing Millon's email to them about how their son should consider a couple post-grad years and maybe apply to a D1 school as a freshman when he is 21. #wisdom #eliteplacement #passitto9 #9isopen

The 25's are the top ranked team in the country and have ZERO "20 year old fly in's from Texas"

next....

The 24s have fly-ins from New York (strange, since it has its own 91 team). To 91's credit, they are getting recruited to college. However, weird to see "HS: Chaminade. Club: 91 MD."

Where are the fly-ins from, on the 2025s, if they are not from TX?

next.....

the 25 team is an aberration and i believe has no "fly-ins".

they are the 1 team (hand picked by MM) in the program that basically has all of the blue chip players from the balto area.

Although I knock the program chain-wide, this 25 team has been absolutely the most dominant club team in the country for the past 2-3 years. I'm not sure if they've even lost ???

MM will say its coaching and development but having the best players = success. That was king crab's model for years and years.

91's usual model with youth teams is to hire a coach from another program who promises to bring his best 10 kids from that program. Then the following year another 10 kids will come with another assistant or head coach, and the first 10 will be cut or "put on the practice team." Repeat until 8th grade when the holdback model really kicks in. HS age T91 teams are a whole different beast and whole different roster unless Millon hand picked the roster at age 10.

Developing elite players for elite prep schools....indeed.

27s and 28s will.soon be rescued by out of state holdbacks. Phew.

I am kind of confused by all the haters. What’s the difference between 91 and True and “insert other national program name here”. They are FOR PROFIT companies. Their bottom line is to MAKE MONEY. None of them give a [Censored] about your kids or what is good for the kids. 91 makes all their teams play in the “Elite” Hoco league despite losing every game and they roster 30 kids every year knowing that 10ish kids will never step onto the field. True flies in players and make the players that earned the right to play sit on the bench. But here’s the rub, the parents come back every year because of the “National team” I would never put my son on 91 or True because he is good enough to not have to Pay to play the game.

You should have added the goal differentials too. A bunch of those L’s were by double digits. Awful spring season for 91.

I have heard that on one of the teams the coach has his kid on the field pretty much the whole game while other paying much better kids sit on the bench. What has club lacrosse come to? I thought the cost to play on these teams was so high was so you don't have to deal with things like this

It just hit me, they lose 32/35 or put another way 91% of the time. Now I understand why they are called Team 91, freaking brilliant, well done MM

I think it’s fair to ask whether this is truely an elite level club. Clearly it’s not delivering those results and it’s no longer the new kid on the block. Mm and Austin S keep chasing away good players and teams while promises fall flat.

I'm impressed with your persistence and supporting data - but it's definitely intervention time - you got a problem!!! Find another club and let the anger go....

It’s just a few angry dads whose son was cut by 91 (which is hard to do but it clearly happens).

As a result they revel in the clubs losing.

Which is the biggest self own of all time in reality. But hey it’s good for BOTC traffic.

The problem is the club director subjecting his kids to the elite level, when their skill level has them nowhere near ready to compete. What he did to his 2031 team is borderline child abuse. 6 goals in seven games, most, if not all of these games were running clock and no faceoffs. This is the opposite of "growing the game". Why would anyone kid on this team want to pickup a stick again? All for the ego of the owner? 2031 had 3 other divisions they could've played in, instead they wasted the other 6 teams time, and all of their parents weekends.

Put your teams in the division that will be allow the players to develop skill and actual enjoyment of the game.
