Sorry, I wish I had not misspelled Capital because it really undermined my point. But trust me, I know what I am talking about.

Correction: Capital 2028 will be awful.

But not as awful as the way Maryland parents act and behave on the sidelines of their daughters' games. That's awful.

Like, terrible

Couldn’t agree more. We’ve seen some horrible behavior by the MD club parents over the years.

The yelling at refs by M&D and Hero’s parents especially is next level. I think a lot of it has to do the drinking culture at those clubs. In the parking lots, on the sidelines. It’s everywhere

I’ve seen MD club parents bounced from the sidelines for unruly conduct. It’s unbelievably embarrassing, for themselves and their kids on the field.

You’ve seen 2028 MD parents kicked out of games? When, where and which team(s)?

You will see Bigfoot before seeing any 2028 MD parents kicked out of games over the past few years. Ironic coming from the area that has SD leading the way.

Correct, different year (not 28). Which tracks with your acknowledgement that it has happened (just not "over the past few years," as you say). Based on the behavior here, guessing you'll have no problem bringing that tradition back for the 28s. Also telling that no one contested the heavy drinking culture and ref yelling references. All true, which you well know.

Settle down, SD. No one will take away your trophy for Biggest Sideline Psycho. You are in a class of your own.

You do realize this isn’t helping your case. It only shows DMV parents considering moving their kids to MD clubs what those sidelines are really like. Who on earth would want to bring their kids into this environment.

Have you read any of the previous 144 pages on this thread? SD is mentioned on almost every other page and your issue is the parents’ behavior at MD teams? That’s just not a thing.

No clue who or what you’re talking. But I’ve seen with own eyes MD clubbers tailgating at youth tournaments like it’s a Morgan Wallen concert. Everyone sees it, it’s disgraceful. Hero’s and M&D parent yelling at refs is a routine game occurrence - you still haven’t denied the drinking culture (because you can’t) and it took being called out *three times* on ref yelling before you gave that weak-sauce denial. You know you do it - just own it. Thank God Capital’s rise no longer requires DMV kids who want to play in college to have to travel to Balto and HoCo land. I thank my lucky stars my kid is through the recruiting process and will play for a school that would make your head spin.

Believe it or not, some people can have a few adult beverages without making a jerk of themselves.

And even more defense of parent drinking at 8th grade lacrosse games. Proving the point of the drinking culture that exists there.

Again, since you are dense, you are claiming this happens at 2028 based on your experience with your kid who is in college. Also, so what if people have a beer while watching the game? You are now known as the Narc. Lastly, Narc, you do not even know who SD is which totally undermines your supposed knowledge of 2028 lacrosse. Go tattle somewhere else.

And even further defense of the drinking culture. This is too easy, can do this all day.

What intellectual stamina - you can post all day on an anonymous Mom’s blog. Take my advice: have a drink. You need one.

Folks who continue to defend it, like you, are obviously the ones who do it regularly. It speaks to the Balto club culture and sends the wrong message to the kids who are watching. And it definitely fuels parent commentary directed at refs from the sidelines. Capital distributes a code of conduct at the beginning of the year that expressly prohibits drinking at tournament events, which speaks to the higher standard the club sets for both the players and the parents.

Guess that Code of Conduct doesn't address fighting with opponents parents as well as their own parents. Or getting asked to leave by Refs. So much for the higher standard for parents!

Which Capital game did this happen? Please name the tournament location and year please. Guarantee you can’t.

Not capital but stars.
Yelling at other parents, yelling at refs, yelling at same team parents. Ohh I’m a big teddy bear act has worn thin like your 1 millions posts have.

You still deflect from the matter at hand and tacitly admit that all MD clubs have adopted a drinking culture and routinely harass refs. If you only knew of where my daughter was recruited to, your head would spin right off your neck. She is better than your daughter and her school gives me license to judge all of you. I can do this all night.

Respectfully, this is the least interesting back and forth I have ever seen on this forum. Please strongly consider moving on and never speaking of this again.

Stars LB has a good pool draw with Integrity, Xtreme, and M&D West. They have a good shot to make the bracket.

Pride starts out with a huge test in Atlanta-based juggernaut Eagle Stix, and then plays NXT and FCA. Eagle Stix lost or tied 4 out of its last 11 games in the summer, but will show up ready to play.

The way the A pool breaks, it looks like one of the top 5 powerhouses could be left out of the bracket as only the 1st and 2nd place teams make the playoff, and it is likely that 3 teams could finish 3-0.

BLC and MC Elite are in a pool where 3 teams advance. Not knowing a great deal about the state of those 28 teams, seems like there are some winnable games there.

Well, in a surprising turn of events, the schedules for National Fall Lax Fest have been modified, and Pride Red no longer has the tough but balanced schedule above. That schedule was somehow given to M&D Black (pretty interesting, no?) and Pride Red got their tougher start. Pride Red now has 3 top 10 teams, including #1 Coppermine, Crush, and Sky Walkers.

Pride has no expectation of winning this tournament; just want to face good competition. This change allows M&D to save face, and also gives Pride more of what they are looking for. Both teams are presumably happy with this change.

What is meant by save face? M&D is the # 4 team in the country. The # 3 team isn't even showing up to Fall Lax fest while every other top Mid Atlantic club is. Lots of chatter thrown in here.

To "save face" is to do something so that people continue to respect you and your reputation is not damaged. M&D was potentially looking at three losses in this first tournament, which would not have been good for the brand. The change, which may or may not have resulted from them complaining about their though schedule, allows them to avoid three losses and save face.

I have been around the girls' game for a long time in several capacities whether coaching or just as a spectator. I also have one daughter who is currently playing D1 and one who has finished competing on the D1 level. I can tell you that I have never known any M&D team to shy away from any competitor this is a bunch of garbage. Think about it even if they were to go 0-3 like you think they would the loss if they are to top teams doesn't really have an effect on the ranking and if by some chance it happened the whole club's reputation would not be tarnished like you think its one tourney by one of there many many teams. Just give it up NOVA lax is and will always will play a back seat to the Baltimore clubs sorry to let you down, pride parents...

And yet we send players to as good (if not better) lax programs and academic schools as M&D. Keep workin’ on those writing skills run-on sentence guy …

Do you really believe that though? Tell me how well those 23's ended up and those 24's they crushed it right? How many 25's do you have recruited so far? You are allowed to dream though i suppose...

Check your posts. You claimed NOVA lax is second to Balto, and the counter was that NOVA clubs send players to as good / better lax and academics as M&D. You conveniently forgot Capital, which traditionally takes the best Pride players (except for 2023), and is based in NOVA:

Capital 2023 Blue

https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/club/team/capital+2023+blue/10408/2021

Capital 2024 Blue

https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/club/team/Capital+2024+Blue/10871/2022

Capital 2025 Blue

https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/club/team/Capital+2025+Blue/12746/2022

All true. Capital has an outstanding track record with respect to recruiting and has some great coaches and players over the years. The big question mark, as has been discussed, is how will they fare at 2028?

Unless the 10 or so players that are currently on MD clubs come back, the 28 team/class will be weak for recruiting.

Unless I am missing something, there are not 10 local MD players. M&D I think has 1, Heros has 5 (BLC 4 + 1 NL) and that is it as best I can tell. The solution to the traffic dilemma is the car pool. Now why would you leave playing with great MD players and coaches to play with Pride and Stars? Makes no sense. Might be a more compelling case if there were more local talent to draw from.

Again - are you trying to be dense? They would do it to play for Capital!!!! What don't you get? Those girls that you listed are looking to get into high academic schools that Capital has relationships with. They already work out at Healthy Baller and the natural move is to get them back in high school. Not sure what you are not understanding.

Don’t know how anyone looked, but exit poll was a big disappointment. Girls did not really learn anything, felt certain players were given more attention and “spoken to” and that it was a just letting them run around and play. I suspect Capital starts their recruiting through this process so no surprise there just wish there was more instruction.

It’s ok to have a glass of wine with your Mystic pizza, try it some time. No need to ruffle those feathers.

If there is one thing MD and VA parents could possibly unite over is to have the teetolar’s mute button activated.

The OP clarified it was Capital with the code of conduct, but you steamrolled that with an outright lie. Typical. And if you weren’t challenged on it people would’ve assumed it was true.

But since you mentioned it, what tournament / game did the Stars incident you claim take place? Dates please.

Narc is back. Why don’t you provide the tournament and dates the MD folks acted and and until then STFU.

Because the clubs they are playing on have similar if not better recruiting, perhaps they do not like 50/50 playing model, they are playing with teammates they’ve been playing with for years as opposed to new teammates that have an adjustment period and they have just as good if not better coaching. Capital is a very strong program but if the commute is not an issue, I do not see any reason to leave an A level MD team. That’s just my two cents.
