He usually doesnt coach in the summer. You must be new to the scene. He shows up at certain tournaments and if the team gets into the playoffs, rest assured he kicks the team's coach to the curb and then he takes over. You really don't think he'll be doing that with his sons' team this summer? LOL.

To be fair CM did everything he could to improve the performance of their 2020 Capital team over the Spring season. They probably played more games than they would have in HoCo and against fairly good competition.

Playing games doesn't necessarily mean one is having a better experience/education.
The weakening in Madlax's youth teams is a telling sign.

They probably played more games than they would have in HoCo and against fairly good competition. I would rather play the best competition(HOCO) instead of fairly good competition Here is the funny thing you guys are the guys who say teams need to practice more and work on skills more. And that is what CM did with this team. They practiced more then any Madlax team this spring and this summer they added some really good parts. I am not saying they will be top 10 team. But they have improved with this two prong approach by 50% for sure. He could of played HOCO AA this spring but I think this plan worked better for sure. And when I say worked better it worked better for this group of players. They have speed and size but most of this team are public school kids they needed the extra high level style of practice the elite teams have gotten in the private schools. I would love to bring this topic up in Aug. and lets see how they did this summer. I will put 100$ on them winning 65% of there games.

Then they played teams from the AA div. So tell me again how they missed out big time by not playing Hoco AA this spring?

Unless Madlax 2020 plays in two crappy Madlax tournaments, they are not winning 65% of their summer games.
Lol. You are such a homer.

Madlax got spanked by all the top 2020 teams this spring. Here are the losses from the MadLax 2020 site: HHH, LeadingEdge, NextLevel, West Coast Stars, Looneys. The only teams MadLax 2020 could beat are the lower tier HOCO teams LaxFactory, VLC, and Cavaliers. MadLax will get a wake up call when they compete in the top tier of the summer tournaments.

I do not think they need a wake up call they are aware there team is not where it needs to be to be called Elite. That is why they added these 2 or 3 new players. They are good players and will make this team better for sure. They will play close games and hang with all the big boys this summer. I think they play the Crabs 2020 first game this weekend. So we will know real quick if the new kids help. But most importantly you make my point for me. They will be playing in the elite tournaments this summer. So let me know if UNC or JHU cares who wins the game between the Crabs and Madlax this Sat. I think they are looking at the players. So that is all you should ask for a chance for your son to be seen by the best schools playing elite teams. Sorry I am going back to beating that dead horse again. But lots of people have hard heads.

Yeah but if your kiddo plays attack and the team never has possession, all they can do is evaluate how good they look in their new Madlax gear . . .

For the 1000 time there is only 3 teams in NOVA that play in the tournaments that matter. So try Blackwolf if they call you or try out for VLC and if those two do not work I will see you at Madlax tryouts. I think Madlax is a better option over VLC from 2018 and down but I am a Madlax homer. But if you think playing for any other club in NOVA not these 3 to be seen it is not going to happen.

Have you seen BW 2019? Program is going downhill. They aren't successful poaching other clubs as they used to be ... 20 years of high level play and top to great talent. Stick with a sure thing. Or keep checking to see if the grass is greener over and over again.

The summer camp really isn't very good IMO My 2 sons have done close two 15 different camps over the last 10 years. All are over rated. Pay competent coach for one on one lessons much better results.

Many college coaches earn more income from camps and prospect days than in salary now. It is the one thing keeping their compensation above a living wage. These same events allow these same coaches to compensate the low or no salaried assistants an extra amount to bring it up to a living wage. My issue is that the universities should be underwriting wages -- or just cutting varsity lacrosse down to club. When rugby has its "NCAA Championship" for full or the 7s, nearly every team in the tournament is club not funded varsity. If lacrosse wants to be a private enterprise it should do just that and be one. A college doesn't need to pay a coach $100K - $200K+ to then have a coach use the fields and other facilities, insurance and other resources of the university as a private venture to pimp families under the guise of "recruiting". Especially at a state university where the coaches' salaries are from the wallets of taxpayers. Your son has only a slightly better chance of winning the PowerBall in his lifetime than getting noticed out of nowhere at one of these camps.

I agree unless a coach has talked to you or your club owner/high school coach about you and ask to see you at his camp/ prospect day it is a money grab. They ask the kids who are going to be signed to attend so they can say everyone who signs came to this camp.

Seems rather absurd to compare W-L records of club teams with high school age kids considering the variability in rosters week to week due to the kids having other commitments. I would be much more interested in which tournaments these teams played and extent of college coach attendance.

I would be much more interested in which tournaments these teams played and extent of college coach attendance. The top Madlax HS teams (2017-2020) play Adrenaline Platinum Cup, Big 4 and Crab Feast as first 3 tourneys. These are far and away the best tournaments in terms of competition and top D1 coaching attendance. You are correct in that team rosters can vary but for the most part I would say the top teams have over 90% of their primary roster any given week. As these kids get later into their HS years and more kids get committed it is important that these committed players continue playing to support those that aren't yet committed...

Madlax is probably doing the best for college coach attendance of ALL of the NOVA/DMV clubs. They may lose but the 2020 and older players being given the opportunity to play in front a bigger variety than the other two clubs often mentioned for comparison.
