Lacrosse

GC is run like a club program.
Collection of individuals Average coaching at best. |
| Club lacrosse sucks. Shame the culture duped parents into feeling they need to play that garbage year round. |
Club lacrosse only filled a gap that HS lacrosse left open. Teachers want summers off, and most HS coaches are teachers or school employees. Club lacrosse is the only way to play when College coaches can actually see them play. Pretty simple really. |

Year round. Thousands and thousands paid to exclude your son from other sports so that he can learn an undisciplined version of lacrosse. Lame.
Recruiting camps and summer league were just fine. |

Guys, tip from someone who has been there: enjoy the time you have.
You will not be able to go back in time, and you can't stop the negative trends associated with year round club lacrosse and its misaligned incentives on development. Roster limits and NIL will help, but until the pendulum swings from forces larger than this blog, you are shouting into the wind. Better to enjoy watching your kid play. |

2026 class not as good as advertised. |
Agree! All club ball hype. Don't see many athletes on the Cadets roster this spring just a bunch of year round lax bros |
"And that, Cooper, is how lacrosse in DC died. Now lets go watch some fencing!" |
Yup. Sad part is the fogo isn't the problem. More to winning faceoffs then just the fogo. |
Your crazy... Defenseman? LSM? Attackman? All Studs! |
Moral... |

SJC would lose to MSJ this year.
MSJ might even make the playoffs in the MIAA, which would be the first time since 2016. |
Dematha looks capable. But losing to a StM Ryken team that got beat 12-6 by Heights is a major blemish. If things break their way, Dematha could beat SJC. Or they could lose to Heights. Not consistent enough to be in one of top tiers. |
If your son isn’t a good enough athlete to play more than one sport at a HS level and still have time to play club lacrosse, I can’t help you. IF he is a good enough athlete to play two sports at a HS level and you let him choose to only focus on lacrosse, welp, that’s just allowing a bad choice as a parent. |
