this is comical....will you provide the same analysis for the teams they beat to achieve their overrated ranking? Do the teams they beat have more "Stars"? Isn't working well as a team a good thing? Shouldn't we all want a system? Note - my kid played against that team and was never on it so I have no allegiance but that statement was just ....

Where are the other 5-7?


More than 4 went to Maryland teams. M&D, Hero's, SW, and at least 1 to MDU.


1 to Heros Green
1 to Heros White

Curious how BLC lax club prepared one for Harvard as an example. Seems to me you’re ascribing an awful lot of credit to middle school lacrosse instruction as predictor to ivy. Hope you didn’t pull a muscle stretching so far.


Guessing it was the same muscle you tore claiming BLC isn’t proven and that kids should leave the program sooner? The statement stands: all those kids played for BLC and are heading to the schools mentioned. BLC capped at 5th grade at the time, so those kids didn’t have the option of continuing thru to HS as they do today. Parse it any way you want, I’m sure you will. Facts are facts.


This is so dumb. Also I'm happy you like your club.

Did these girls play BLC in 8th grade?


What happened with the 2028 BLC team?


A few years ago, a group of players left for Hero's Green and it started a mass exodus. The BLC 28 team used to have a lot of talent but is a shell now. Everyone left.


Wrong. BLC 28 is an anomaly. Every other BLC team is top / near top 10. Check the stats. Poster is a 28 ex-BLC dad who took his DD to Hero’s bec BLC was an off year. Who can blame him - I would have done the same thing. Except I’d have more class than to spit on the club I left. Bush-league stuff. If this guy’s DD was a 27 or 29 he’d be silent on this forum.

The middle school mom and dad coaches at BLC bring the program down at least that’s been the case for 2027-2029. Sure some of the teams might be strong but it’s filled with favoritism for the coach’s kids.

I believe this all started with BLC is a proven program and a great place to start. PP mentioned that the girls started there went to Stars then Capital.
