the 26s are very good. They really are. They are just a team that has been thrown together but they have talent. Stop ripping on everything MC. Not everyone wants to play Capital. You can have a strong player who has a different path. Rank is not every thing. You aren't bringing your entire team to college if/when you sign. Stop the insanity. No wonder the sport is so crazy. Parents need to chill OUT.

Agreed BUT everyone who has been paying attention knows that the 22s were the last decent class MCE had. We shall see where the 23s, 24s and 25s end up.

Say what you want about MC, that's a pretty good list.

There are plenty of families who have come through the door and knew exactly what they were getting, so stop ripping on another human who has helped a ton of top athletes. The #34th ranked player from Inside Lacrosse in this year's freshmen class/Michigan is an MCE alum. What did this family know? I have a college athlete who went through the program, we had options. What did the families of the current top HS and college athletes know, and all those before them? Retention does not have to be an issue, HS coaches are allowed to change professions, but the expertise is there. The metric of success is not MS scores it is being an impact player in HS and beyond. MCE is not going to change its approach to look like NL or BLC, there is a market differential for a reason. The top athletes at BLC and NL should be the ones looking for a higher level, and a club that will personally care about their high school and recruiting trajectory.

As a longtime MC parent I would like to correct the above statement as I know most of these coaches from our time there. And, for what it’s worth, almost all of these coaches have been at MC for several years.
2032 coach is a JV lacrosse coach at HC
2030C coach is the former Varsity coach at Whitman
2030M coach is the Varsity coach at HC
Both 2029 coaches were high level D1 lacrosse players
2028 coach is a former SR lacrosse coach
2027 coach is club director
2026M coach is Varsity coach at HC
2026C coaches are a JV HS coach and former D1 player
2025M coach is former Varsity coach at Holy Cross
2025C coach was a Varsity Lax coach at 2 public schools in MoCo
2024 coaches were high level D1 athletes who coached at Pride before coming to MC
Sounds like a good resume of coaches across all age groups/teams. Question then is, why are these teams arguably the weakest in the DC area and by a large margin? If you were to rank the programs, you'd have Pride, Stars, BLC, Next Level, maybe even YJMA at this point ahead of MC Elite at most ages. Seems like a big downward trend.
Not sure that is fair. Reality is that there are probably too many teams for the amount of talent in the area.
Clearly Pride and Stars are top at the middle school level and can't see anything changing here anytime soon just based on the resources those clubs have. The rest is hit or miss by age group. Historically MCE would get some of the top Next Level girls because Next Level didn't play in big tourneys, but they have stepped up their game here which will hurt.
BLC is really only competitive at 2 age groups -- 27 and 30. The rest of them are really rec level.
MCE's 25s and 26s are actually somewhat competitive. Long term could see them competing against Stars and Pride for girls who can't make Capital
MCE is in major decline mostly because of their tone-deaf owner who refuses to listen to parents and not because they don't compete for the girls from Pride, Bethesda, and or NL they actually did that with either the 24s or 25s from pride but then they all left after a year. They have a major problem with talent retention due to all those FORMER coaches who they claim to be the top coaches in the area. My question would be if those coaches are the top of the top as the club claims why are most of them former and not current HS coaches? that being said two of them are really good the 2030M and the 2028 the rest are average at best and would be lucky to be able to coach a B team at any other club.
You mean RC who goes to Vissi and plays for Capital that just proves the point that the club cannot retain talent in house. She left for a better club and now MCE wants to claim credit for her getting recruited to Michigan what a joke. She got that offer because she plays with Capital not because when she was younger she played for MCE.
You are clueless. Look at their website list of current freshman playing in college…(including the one at Michigan who was always at MC):
Goldie Aronson (Bullis), Brown University
Betty Boatwright (Georgetown Visitation), Washington & Lee
Keelin Byrne (Langley), University of Louisville
Julia Daly (Langley), Gettysburg College
Jailin Jenkins (Bullis), United States Naval Academy
Paige Kenny (Stone Ridge), University of New Hampshire
Spencer Kirsch (Bullis), Kenyon College
Katie Maloney (St. John’s), Drexel University
Ellie Muldoon (Stone Ridge), Denison University
Megan Myers (Georgetown Visitation), University of Denver
Grace Nemeroff (Whitman), Brown University
Grayson O’Marra (Bethesda-Chevy Chase), Denison University
Lizzie Rosenman (GDS), University of St Andrews, Scotland
Peyton Shreves (Holy Child), University of Michigan
Sydney Tepper (Holy Child), United States Naval Academy

BLC 27's , 29's, 30's, 31's and even the 32's are very talented teams.
Every BLC team listed above is either better or substantially better compared to counterparts in the DMV. Next Level 29's and Pride 28's are the only exceptions.

If this is true it is really what is best for this club and for the girls that have stayed there over the years.

BLC is competitive at most age groups, ahead of MCE. Looks like MCE is going to play NGLL this spring, that will tell a lot.

The 2030 coach is the same as the 2026 coach is the same as the varsity HC coach? How does that work? Is that even allowed?
