Certainly better than madlax/supremes. I think DCE is the favorite to be the DMV top team.


MadLax had 30+ kids on the sidelines today. maybe 20 saw the field, including his own kid, who never comes off and yet is wayyyy too small and of average skill to be playing at that level of competition. In another life he must've run a three card monte stand.


So the rumor is that he's going to reclass and go to Episcopal for 9th grade. He's then going back to Landon to repeat 9th grade (Landon allows holdbacks but you can't repeat the same year at Landon i.e., 2 9th grade years at Landon) because of Cabell being personally and financial connected to Landon through ML.


That is a smart plan. Look at the Princeton Freshman who went from Episcopal to Prep or the Duke goalie who reclassed at Epsicopal or Millon who is a reclass. The list goes on. Most of the top players went this route.


Did you just put that kid next to a goalie at Duke or the number one recruit last year? Have you ever actually seen him play? What CBD shop do you go to?


Criticize CM all you want but we should leave the kid out of it.


That’s hard to do when the criticism is that he plays his son the whole game, when the roster is over 30, and the son is a weaker player than others on the bench.


Just do your best not to be an asshat


So, wring money from gullible parents to subsidize your lifestyle AND your middling-talented kids’ playing time, and then hide behind said kids for doing same. Got it.


Yes, that's club lacrosse everywhere. Any time a roster is over 21, the club is milking parents. To me, if you're kid isn't starting at attack or defense or on the first two middie lines, he's on the wrong club and should leave immediately. Same goes if your kid is stuck behind the coach's kid. Why pay all that money to not play much?
Correct me wherever as I'm out of the loop:
4 att
6 O-mid
4 close D
2 FO
2 G
2 lsm
3 ssdm

That's 23. Every kid could be getting tons of time and many barely making it through a summer weekend. Repeat next weekend. An injury or 2 and you may even be short. Why would having 21 be the cutoff for milking people?


At the younger ages (through 7-8th grade), you don't need any SSDM. So maybe you don't need all of those kids. As stated below, you can also have some overlap - especially at your attack/O-middie spots. With offensive lax moving to positionless offense, you can have attack also play some middie by running one of them out of the box. u can drop 1-3 of those player. Some of your middies can be your back up FOGO or just FO and stay (how it should be through 8th grade). You can also get away with only 1 goalie.

Fwiw I’ve seen a number of teams where the coach’s kid or kids are great contributors, if not the best on the team at their slots. That’s just not ever been true for MadLax.

That's fair if there is zero overlap between the players.

the worst case of daddy ball I’ve ever witnessed.


Of all the things that have been said about MadLax, that might be the worst indictment of all. He has 30+ kids on the roster but his son, who is average at best, doesn’t come off the field. In a tournament where everyone was over charged to the tune of 500, and the team went 1-4. What a rip off.

False. The kid is not coming back to Landon and Landon does allow a Landon student to re-class at Landon.

So far this summer I would say DCE and next level are the elite teams in the DMV. ML has fallen off a cliff and I think there’s a good chance of a second implosion for ML considering the lack of results and the team size. Is there another DMV team that can take over the third position?
