Wait a minute...I competed in the all galaxy games as a rep of the southern milky way planets all-south team.

I think the point was about sportsmanship, and you....no wait, never mind.

I disagree with your post. My boys play for a strong 7th grade philly team and we played several teams comprised of all-stars from multiple states such as 3d, West Coast Starz, CSC, etc. While these teams are good and getting better, they still have a bit to go to catch-up...

more from fl$ 3d (this event deserves it's own thread)

I received links to the video I stupidly bought. Amateur quality camera work. Plenty of missed action from my son's games. Another waste of $$$$

Considering having my son tryout for Crabs this year, for the first time. Any advice? Good idea or no?

I am a current Crabs parent, if you want your son to have an opportunity to compete against the best, to be well coached with an emphasis on making him a better player and winning, then try-out. Its is way better to have tried and failed, than to never compete and become a hater on the forum. As you can see this site is full of them.

I would not limit your son to one team or another. If he wants to play club, be sure to hit 4 or 5 tryouts and talk to the coach about the schedule for the club. Some clubs practice much more than others (fall, winter, indoor, etc.) Some clubs do fall and winter leagues as well as spring NPYLL. You need to find the one that meets your level of commitment and your kids dedication to the sport.

At the very least I would recommend attending:

Crabs: www.baltimorelacrosseclub.net - starts 8/17.
Annapolis Hawks: www.annapolishawks.com - starts this weekend.
Baltimore Breakers: www.breakerslacrosseclub.com - starts 8/17.

Thanks for the input. The NPYLL, where are most of the games played? Someone had told me around DC in most cases. Is that true?

NPYLL games are played at the home team's field - so anywhere from northern Baltimore, to Kent Island, to Northern VA and Hagerstown.

Does anyone have experience with goalie training at Crabs?
We are currently at a club (not naming names, not trying to bash anyone), that gives the goalies nothing more than, hey, get in the goal and we'll shoot on you. No real instruction.
Just wondering what their training for goalies is like. Thanks in advance.

Same in LI. Fortunately my son landed on a team where the coach gives the goalies some time during warm ups and works with them individually. I just think most coaches have no goalie experience and do not know how to help them or pinpoint what they need to improve on- other than saves and clears. A good goalie trainer can make or break a kid. sadly, they are few and far between.

I agree 100%. My son has played on teams where one of the coaches was a goalie and they still do nothing with there goalies. Whats worse though IMO is when a coach that knows nothing about the position trys to "correct" things with the goalie.

I think you are referring to ex-Towson coach "The Goalie Man" who helps Quint out at Summer camps. He is terrific and does personal instruction. I am constantly amazed to keep hearing about such top clubs that provide NO goalie instruction. There are a few clubs that can do this, FCA is one and most prominently 3d has collected a few goalies who were looking for instruction away from MadLax and VLC where there was none. I think one poster is right...a little bit of instruction at that position is a difference maker for a kid developing the right footwork and lacrosse IQ.

All of this instruction is usually one on one lessons or 2 to 3 kids. It is also for a fee that is beyond the club fee. Clubs might bring in someone for free here and there for a practice or clinic but all clubs in the Baltimore area have a point where if the kid wants more it costs money and they hook him up with a position specific instructor. Fyi.

How has 3D taken Goalies away from Madlax/VLC if this fall is the first year 3d will be in VA?

FUZE hasn't taken away anything from those clubs, FUZE is non-competitive

FCA of Maryland has a goalie coach as mentioned above, they bring in Brent Hiken (MLL Outlaws) for faceoff work, during the summer top NCAA Div I players (Kelly - UNC, Connell-UNC, Deemer Class - Duke, Garrett Epple - ND) just to name a few...combine that with coaches that all have top DI experience...makes for a good recipe, will be seeing more of FCA in the near future!

I heard Crabs do Indoor training, is that included in the pricetag or do they charge extra? Do Crabs bring in outside training for specialty positions? What is included in the price? Looking for a club, but don't want to get nickeled and dimed at every turn

3d does MD teams and Mid-Atlantic team for HS aged kids. Those teams have taken away players from Madlax and VLC, including a D1 goalie commit and two youth team goalies. They have two MLL goalies as coaches to work with the kids. The 3d Virginia / Fuze thing, not sure about. Agreed on Fuze being a pretty low end team. This Fall will be first round of 3d teams after the Fuze Virginia acquisition.

3D was a bust. The best kids in MD and DC didn't flock to 3D. The kids who tried 3D were kids looking for more playing time.

That may change, but the talent at Fuze is pretty thin.

3D no different than the other late comers trying to glean players from the established clubs. Nothing new here or special with their teams.....as bad as their [lacrosse] poor tournaments

Anyone interested in 3d be forewarned, you will get great instruction but may not play. 3d likes to bring kids in from other regions to play. You can travel to a tourney, pay fees and hotel costs to watch kids you never saw before play on your "team" If your player enjoys developing chemistry with other players, 3d might not be a good program.

Munro plays favorites to the Colorado and Cali kids.
No way 3d competes locally with Crabs, Breakers, FCA or VLC.

Crabs are hands down the best program..
Breakers, Hawks, FCA will have their moments.
Crabs set the standard.

Not sure why people think breakers is an elite program. Average at best. They play weak tourneys. Fca isn't elite yet. Could be considered that in a few years. Their best teams are really greene turtle teams and their younger teams are very average to below average.

You mean like the way Crabs brings in kids from their older teams when they play really tough competition? Is that what you mean?

3D / Fuze played before the Bayhawks game yesterday. 3d/fuze apparently just dumped the Fuze part of the name and gave all the gear with Fuze still on it away for free - so the kids and families were decked out nicely in fuze gear. The Annapolis Rec club AYLA beat them easily. No real changes to the program coaches or philosophy yet other than going from non-profit to for-profit apparently.

Have you really been reduced to making these mean spirited observations about U-9 kids from some pohick in Virginia playing against an Annapolis rec team? Wow, that really makes a bold statement about the caliber of another rival club.

And do you mean for-profit like Crabs taking in club fees into a 501-C-3 entity and then the sole owner of that entity directing most of that money into tournament fees in a for-profit company also solely owned and managed by the same guy? Have another cheeseburger Ryan and hope the IRS has better things to do than read this board and audit your company.

My understanding is that there are two new 3d teams: 3d Virginia/Fuze, and 3d Mid-Atlantic/Maryland. The mid-atlantic team is based out of Annapolis, but pulls heavily from Virginia. It is invite-only and I believe just has a high school team right now. This is the team that several of VLC 2017 kids defected to, not the Virginia team. Never seen them play, but have heard that they are really good.

Untrue. A couple of Madlax and a couple of VLC kids joined this team over the sumer, which is a combo team. Basically kids who weren't happy about playing time.
