Very curious as to why so many PP seem to think M&D will take a step back this year

"So many PP" is one or 2 parents that most likely never played before. And probably didn't really play sports. And are biased to their kid.

No, 2 M&D field players plus a goalie from Renegades rather than the goalies from hero’s and BLC, among others

This is inaccurate.

Who said anything about M&D taking a step back?

Other clubs are leveling up. The gap is getting closer. Those 5+ goal victories turn into 1 to 2 goal victories. Upsets will be more common.

The PP asked why. That would mean what are the reasons? All you have is conclusions.

PP wants reasons why other clubs have gotten better?

Probably the reasons why you thinnk they've gotten better. Something like "I spent the last month of the summer traveling the country to watch off season workouts of the top 10 rising 7th grade teams."

Maybe some clubs do that. Heroes, MDU & BLC picked up players that will make them better from non M&D clubs. Behind the cage suggests other NY teams did the same. M&D probably got better but the other teams improved at a higher rate. It’s math at that point. If M&D got 5% better and other teams 10% better, they are closing the gap. At this age, other clubs start more intense training on par with M&D and that closes the gap. There’s still a gap but by HS they may lose some games against clubs they used to beat.

So you don't know really who got what, and you're just spitballing. Then just say that.

Didn’t BLC lose their best player to M&D? Who did they add to improve?

For a DC based forum, these teams have been quiet.

For this age group only BLC and YJ are very good as far as DC based

I can't say this enough as a 2026 parent: make sure your kid is working on speed. Speed can elevate a mediocre lax player. My players off-ball movement and speed she was told by coaches caught their eye. She did most of the speed training on her own at the track near our house, following some YouTube videos on how to increase speed.
