If the new MDU is run and owned by True lacrosse, avoid at all costs.

Why is that? Honest question not familiar with True issues.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Erin Hellmold the Ireton coach that was just hired last year she is or at least was the vice president/direror of true at one point is she isn’t still in that position today.

Maryland United is still
run by Bev Altig, but is backed by True Lacrosse. TL seems to have outlets for development, that the other clubs do not. DD is doing the Ricky Fried clinic May 17.

Erin Hellmold current Bishop Ireton head coach. She was the assistant to Ricky Fried for years at Georgetown and the link is the connection to true…

It is probably best to contact MDU Bethesda directly. I was told that the MCE club director and current coach is going there to coach for the club. That is supposed to get me to move over? Maybe better to stay at MCE!

Help me understand how is it anymore intriguing than M&D DC or YJ's DMV? Unless fully formed teams move over they will not be competitive for years, if at all. Look at NL/M&D DC, they been around a long time and only have one strong team out of a dozen. Even that team will dissolve after this year.

Not the original poster, but I am intrigued. Y&J DMV is two teams organized by a mom, there is no LI YJ person here. NL/M&D DC has never have had any good teams, it is just more of the same, it is brand only.

YJMA has many good teams - more than M&DDC. The 2031 and 2030s are both playing in the NGLL A Division. The club director is from Long Island and played for LI YJ.

MCE died years ago with the 22’s…

I had heard it actually died with the 2018s.

Need less quantity and more quality when it comes to travel clubs. It’s easy to put up a club and build a website, but to hire quality coaches is the problem. No one ever seems to think of that and the kids are left with mom/dad coaches that never played or recent graduates that aren’t exactly reliable.

Based on my conversation with Bev Altig local coaches will be named closer to tryouts. Also because of their alignment with True Lacrosse there is additional development and recruiting support with actual former D1 coaches.

Everyone knows that the only decent MDU Bethesda team will be the 2029s! The 29 coach is already offering free spots to the MCE girls who are currently playing for her

Correct, it is just the change of jerseys.

Wait so MDU Bethesda is the old MCE?
