I think Madlax will have to look to go NOVA heavy. If they work on a plan to pull the best 2 or 3 kids off the 2 tier clubs in NOVA they should be able to stay at or near the top at each age level. My suggestion to them is to lower the 2nd State teams fees to the same as the 2nd tier NOVA clubs. This way kids will have the price point of the lower clubs but if they get better as they get older they will be able to move up to the Capital team where the cost in my opinion is worth the money. Can someone provide the total year cost for VLC 2021. I have a way older son and would like compare what these two clubs are costing these days. Oh just do not put the cost, list what that money gets you. I think VLC is a fine club and is on par with Madlax depending what position your son plays and how much playing time he will get on each team.
