Uh oh. Looks like somebody is got a case of the Mundays.

2028 True Chesapeake Team,

My Staff and I want to thank you for letting us have the opportunity to coach your boys over the past 8 months. We got a chance to develop great relationships with all of them and we genuinely cared about them. As someone who has been doing club lacrosse for almost 20 years around the country, I've come to realize that the Maryland Market and the parents are completely transactional. It doesn't matter how much training you will do for them or how much time you will spend with them, the relationship will always be a transaction. It makes you detest your job. We all do this because we love to teach, coach, develop and build young men. That is why we do this. I started True Lacrosse because I love developing players.

Between the directors and myself you had 17 years of College Coaching Experience, 12 Years of Professional Lacrosse Experience, and 25 years of experience of being in the industry and helping kids get recruited We were all dedicated to your boys and helping them develop as lacrosse players but more importantly great people. This was not good enough for you guys. It was not good enough for this parent group.

I hope all of you find whatever you are looking for.

The door is always open,

Coach Deane

This sounds like a crybaby who doesnt get his way. Poor little Deaney, he made himself a money grubbing corporate club system for the love of the game and just wanting to coach young men , and what do these parents do for all this love....smack him down for his behavior of just wanting to love the game. How cold. And still little Deaney after getting abused by players and parents, what does the Love God Deaney want..... for them to find whatever they are looking for.
What a great guy !

Guessing very few. 3 left for 91 mid year. So assuming they get to the same number they start down 3 and at least one goalie is moving on,
That team has very few weaknesses so I can't imagine too many more than 3 additional (6 total go). Who knows?

now that all the teams have held tryouts, can anyone predict what will happen with MadLax, DCE, and Next Level? It sounds like they are all going after each other's players, and obviously the True Chesapeake players are on the market too.
Who get better, who got worse, and who stayed the same?

It’s like musical chairs for the truly Elite players. And this is the last summer where we will see significant movement, as these rosters will likely remain relatively intact barring a coach /club director debacle….

Don't kid yourself...it's even more chaotic at AA and below...and club directors do.not.care.

The True Chesapeake players that go to Madlax are basically making the same poor decision. Did they not learn anything with True. Come on parents. And have fun fighting that traffic to get to practice.

There is definitely room for someone to roll out a new club in Annapolis, even if it’s just 2028. Get some good young recent college grads, don’t charge a fortune, and don’t travel all I’ve the nation- can play tournaments all year long on MD and DE and see the best completion in the country. Come on people, stop condoning CM’s behavior at Madlax by paying his dues

Your comment just proves his point. You should look in the mirror and say why is little Jonny not playing oh because he needs to reclassify the True Maryland way. Lol fool parents who never played a sport let alone who where virgins till they got married.

You are so angry. Go away goalie dad. Enjoy your new team with 6 goalies.

Isn't there a new club in Annapolis called "Clippers"?

Annapolis has plenty of clubs lacrosse teams. There is no problem with the number of teams. Plenty of the kids from this area play on teams in other areas too. At least 5 kids on FCA Blue, 2 on White, 2 on Crabs etc.

HOCO leagues and records:

Hawks Green (elite) 7-0
True Chesapeake (elite) 3-4
Clippers (AAA) 2-5 - former Sidewinders w/ team 18 coaches I hear
Hawks Black (AAA) 2-5
Cannons (AAA) 1-6
Prostart (AA) 6-1
True Annapolis (AA) 2-5
Rockfish (B) 2-6
Green Hornets (B) 1-6

Hawks Black and Cannons will move down to AA. Clippers might be AA as well. Any teams moving up from AA to AAA. How about AAA to Elite.

They have 5 not 6 ..get your facts straight

If True Chesapeake is caput there is a hole in elite again.

I assume 91 MD will take the elite spot that opened up with True Chesapeake imploded, unless they plan to fly in an entire team every weekend.

Facts are in short supply this time of year, but rumors abound. Here is a summary of the rumors I have read on this Board about the local DC teams. If anyone knows facts, the BOTC world would be interested to hear.

DCE - Retaining the whole BLC roster and picking up 6-8 players from Madlax.
MadLax - Retaining their whole roster, having guest coaches from every HS in town, and picking up the former True Chesapeake players.
Next Level - retaining their whole roster, but had 90 players at tryouts, including players from BLC, MadLax, and True
True Chesapeake - folding their tent.

Point of clarification - "whole roster" refers to the top 13-15 players - steady rotation at the bottom 1/3 among all these teams is to be expected.

anyone who can confirm specifics, please do!

Madlax losing half by of its team. Small to begin with, 18-20 players on the roster. At least 7-8 gone, could be more. So no, Madlax is not retaining their whole roster, or anything remotely close to it.

NL is keeping most of their roster, but some of their kids are trying out at DCE. Doubt they’ll leave NL. Loyal group.

DCE didn’t have anything to lose, they’re a brand new team as a pp pointed out. I’m told they’re bringing in about 10 of the BLC kids, they’ll get a bunch of the Madlax kids (hearing its 6-7, with a few other ML kids deciding between there and NL), and some randoms.

Once this settles out, it should be pretty competitive between these 3 teams in the spring.

If MadLax is losing that many players, how will they remain competitive with the other two?
