As a whole, the team will be better, once they can learn to play together. The biggest change that will cause growth with the team is the addition by subtraction and no longer having DS (gc coach) in control of the team.[/quote]

What was wrong with DS as a coach?

Pretty easy to figure out that your kid goes to Landon and was one of the kids on NL that was negatively affected by the move.

So how many teams has he been cut by now, I'm counting 3-4

Not too hard to guess who you are either, attack or LSM Dad. Really classy dumping on the kids who were pushed off the team to make room for your sons.

You might get a few kids who are just starting to play to attend a tryout, but I don't believe he could attract enough to restart and sustain a club. Anybody who knows local area lacrosse would not consider trusting him again.

Having said that, if a new director were to take over and show a plan that included competent leadership and coaching, there could be a comeback. The name is known. Looney's was once a large club, with teams for both boys and girls.

The bigger questions is, does the area need yet another expensive club lacrosse team? My answer is no. What the area needs is for the clubs to work with and support the local rec board teams that develop little kids. The cost to get started is too high for many families.

Clubs ought to help to feed and grow the sport, rather than adding younger and younger teams each year. Do we really think it is worthwhile to pay a couple grand per season for elementary-age kids to learn the game? I don't.

Looneys ain't coming back any time soon. The youngest team they ever had were 2027s, who all fled to Predators and I think FCA. If I were running Looneys I would try to set up a loose alliance between myself, LTRC, and TRC/Kelly Post. Which would mean, to an extent, shoving True Baltimore's corpse out of the Towson lax-o-sphere.

That's a great idea. Let the local rec board teams teach the game to the little ones, then allow players/families who want to stay with the sport (and devote more time, more games, more tournaments) to move to the club.

I am the previous poster, and my son does not or has not played for next level. He is friends with many of the players there, and at the other schools mentioned.

It was the NL Landon kids pushing for the ML Landon kids. It was easy to convince the parents.

Many of these 11 kids were original to NL and some had already paid. Needless to say, there are a lot of ticked off parents and my take was that they aren't going to let this go lightly. People on BOTC like to hammerhead on CM, and much of it is deserved, but this latest by DM & Co has really hit a nerve with people.

Several of the ML kids who are moving to NL attend St. Johns, and their parents were the ring leaders. Most schools of value in the DMV would frown upon using your position at the school to make money in your side hustle, but SJCH does not care from what I am told. If a club tried to pull this at Prep, Landon, Zaga there would be serious problems.

Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't because both ML and NL 26 teams were weak to say the least, but I sure would like to see the tension on the sidelines this summer between the newbies and NL leftovers.

For what it’s worth— this was led by Landon kids and their parents, not SJC

Who will be the head coach of this new NL26 Blue "super team?" Heard the assistant would be GI?

Since when does a team have to be at a certain level in order to laugh at people who are clowns? I bet there are folks on lower level teams that play on Aloha tournaments HS KB teams who are looking at the dads who orchestrated this and laughing.

This is 100% true. Although I have to say, the kid promotion and mentally unwell coaches at the lower levels of lax (ie Aloha) are by default a little more detached from reality. Relax, your kid will have a chance to play D2, D3, or club lax in college and life will be just fine.

For the elite parents: relax, your kid will get an offer to play at a decent D1 school and the aid package will numb the pain down to whatever you'd pay in-state for College Park.


From his multiple uninvited guest appearances on BOTC, I believe "You're a Clown/You Know Nothing/Scram!" Dad has a 2026 and a 2028 son, almost certainly in MoCo private schools and elite lax players. Which is great, and wish them all the success in the world, but their dad is still a quarter zip orc.

Only a couple. The rest probably won’t play until senior year, at best.

That could be said for any school with a top lacrosse program.

If those kids had any sensibility (or perhaps it falls on their parents who it appears were the orchestrators behind the move,) they would have asked for the high school coaches’ opinions before making such a foolish and selfish move
