Never going to happen…Hogan cowers to St Mary’s parents.

Only one of their "elite" teams even made it to the hoco championship. Why pay the 3k?

Word is the best few players from VLC and some hawks

True Baltimore is to one team with a total of 23 kids show up to try outs. The other coach and kids went to Preds. Kp’s top team folded leaving their lower team to struggle.

Hahaha... spoken like a True parent! Sure... the best kids on programs like VLC or Hawks would jump at a chance to join an elite team like True!

Funniest thing I've heard all day!

Ummm what? St Mary’s ball hog kids? Aren’t there like three or four kids from st Mary’s on that team?

Lots of "rumors" swirling around this time of year and will be interesting to see how the dust settles.

1. Heard VLC's top 5 players are all leaving and have made the True Chesapeake Team. Unfortunately that is probably the death of VLC 2029 being elite and should really elevate True Chesapeake to a top 3 team if 100% true.

2. Predators is having two teams as several of the True Baltimore players are relocating due to coaching changes.

3. Crabs 2029 had a dose of reality this weekend at the NLF Championship. High and lows on that team and there will certainly be new faces arriving and old faces looking to leave.

4. A lot of Team 91 players trying out all over the place. Not sure if they are talented enough to help FCA or LTLC/Crabs. Will be interesting to see where Team 91 lands with it's roster and what division they participate in.

5. Heard hawks is losing a few guys as well, but most importantly losing their goalie. Should be interesting to see who the pluck away to fill that position.

Look forward to seeing how the dust settles!

There true Baltimore situation is a mess. Not sure moving to Preds will help the. At all. Crabs struggled at NLF very up and down but finally seeing some talented teams. Madlax is struggling at NLF. Waiting to hear the ML excuses coming. Where is the hawks goalie going. Summer tournaments are hit or miss witha mish mosh of kids on teams. Hard to get. A good read of the true team.

What happened to the Hawks goalie? They are in trouble. He was the best goalie in the class hands-down. None of the other teams have a goalie that can replace him!

You sound like a fool. An arrogant one at that.

I heard the true Baltimore teams have been cut in half. Enough players came to try outs to field one team. Of those players 20 or so are returning players. Heard it from a parent from the team. Why would hawks and Vic players go to true Baltimore to play when there are better teams closer to them. Remember true Baltimore and true Chesapeake are two completely different teams.

Maybe he is a victim of age verification?

True, no pun intended. Top 8 kids from VLC joined True C.

Plus the fly ins coming for hoco and tournaments.

Kids from Virginia are joining a team based in Annapolis? Are they not required to attend practices?

Top 5 Club teams in 2029?

ML
Hawks
Next Level
FCA
LTLC/CRABS

Parents ruining the hawks team drama drama drama.

Saw ML play this weekend at NLF. They have either lost a step or everyone else is getting better. ML is not as dominant as it was. I would put hawks in front of them. But agree the top 5. (except Mad Lax is not considered a Maryland team considered to be Virginia.

For this past season - Next year is unknown because of the changes.

1. Hawks
2 Next Level
3/4//5. LTLC/Crabs/FCA/True Chesapeake (Based on week to week).

Nothing else seems to come close.

How are tryouts going. Anyone give any number updates? Looking for what high interest is in Maryland teams. Not looking for drama or controversy.

FCA has it's tryouts this week.

IIRC the head coach of True Baltimore is that same guy who accidentally? blew up the 2029 Crabs team. If he's leaving True, that's good for True. If he is headed to Preds, that's the most Preds thing to happen this month. Advice on Preds - the upper management is hands off, borderline non existent. So if your son has a connection with a coach (and the 2029 Preds players seem to LOVE their coaches), your son will have a great year. But if things aren't going well, nobody is coming to fix the situation.

Must have been a typo. Parent coaches ruining the hawks team drama drama drama

For ML, what is there area of need?

You know how true does it! Sell your soul to compete. Culture isn’t important. Let them play even if they aren’t able to make it to practice.

Seems to have really worked with their 2028 team.

ML is still good however they don't seem as dominant as they have been. Watched some parts games and they seemed to struggle moving the ball faster than normal in transistion and on offense. Slow transition on defensive fast breaks. Again they are still a good team. They gaps in elite teams is getting smaller it seems.

LSM, Goalie and FOGO

Not just Virginia but most of the kids in question live out toward Leesburg. That is at least a 2 hour trek in rush hour.

Cmon NL dad, should have made tour team 1.

Not sure that is a great move. True brought two National teams to Pinnacle this weekend. Each won one game all weekend.

They actually have two very good faceoff kids but they both play the field as significant contributors to the offense. At this age specialization starts to happen.

Looks like they don’t have enough coaches if you ask me. I saw a teenager helping them at Naptown. And he was the second of two present at that time.

It is a shame that Northern Virginia cannot get an elite team IN Virginia....

Nope. They won’t be there when their national teams are playing either. Like the fly ins, they will show up, hand your kid their water bottle and head right on the field. This will age well, bet

NLF supposed to be club tournament, but looks to have been filled with national teams. ML lost, Pride lost, ecclipse laxchussets lost. Was won by a team with kids from many places (and ages).

I noticed. So will we ever get a good gage of which teams are the best?

this is correct for the green team. he blew up crabs and was instrumental in helping blow up both green and blue true teams. He is NOT going to Pred's

Nope. Kids will practice and the regional club will de-conflict tournament schedules with the national teams. Not that hard.

NLF? I didn’t see any national teams at NLF. PINNACLE did. Resolute which I think is out of Ohio won the whole thing didn’t they? Which had to be a shocker

True Baltimore?

Except they don’t. Been there. Done that. Consider yourselves warned.

Resolute had 2 teams at the 2029 level. One was an all star team and the other was a 29/30 team that was just put together. The team g0t blow out. Felt bad for the team.

Resolute Youth White 0 3 0 -37 3 40

The Resolute team must have gotten lost on their way to the 2027 fields. They had a full head on every other team there. The WCS team was pulling kids off of other WCS teams (older) all during the tournament. I guess one last year before you're required to prove your age was worth it for some programs...
