Dbacks will run the table this year.

Only clubs still having tryouts are the ones that pick up the scraps after the top clubs fill their rosters.

It's good to have goals. Hope those added free supplemental tryouts get you all the kids you need to do it.

Like VLC....

That must be why 3D started their tryouts back on the 7th. They are the top club and wanted to poach all the best talent.

3d is the top club? LOL. After the top 3 of BW, Madlax and VLC, 3d might be behind NL and Cavalier at this point.

Actually, Madlax just started their tryouts today. Learn the landscape. All the DMV clubs started in the last couple weeks. The other guys were talking about MD clubs, who started much earlier.

This is the 1st year for Vlc 2022. Where are their kids coming from?

Nope. All dbacks returning minus one non starter. Expanded roster with 4 or 5 new kids from other clubs. Any supplemental is purely for trying to field a second team.

Shiver me timbers.....we might have to leave the state now

If the roster expanded by 4 to 5 kids, should we expect to see 2 to 3 more coaches on the sidelines.

Kid's that haven't played club before or are coming from typical hum drum feeder club's like Cavalier, Battlelax etc....I can't really speak to the MD side, but there are typically quite a few Bethesda and surrounding area kid's on VLC rosters as well.

You mean scraps and POS like you!!! Nice way to talk about kids d bag.

Wow. What a jerk off talking about kids like they are table food for dogs.

We hope all the teams play each other a few times this year , either in tournaments or league play. Great competitive games last year but not all teams played each other and some played too much against each other.

I saw one of the 2022 Crabs listed on the 2023 Crabs this season. Misprint?

RR picking up a few kids

Hahaha Classic.

No team has yet to be made final? must be a lot of uncertainty out there for parents and kids. Good Competition all around

No misprint. Repeating 6th grade

Any word on BLC tryouts? Heard this organization (DC Express for 2021 and above) is making a big push to be best option in DMV and even keep local DMV Crab kids home...

Will have a long way to go to overtake Madlax.....

the 2022 attackman that used to play up on the 2021 BLC went to 2022 Crabs instead of BLC 2022.

Not sure if there is anything to read into that

Except for a couple of years, BW and VLC are better clubs.

LOL. They have one good team. That's it. Probably the 7th best club in the DMV right now.

Basically same roster as last spring.

Among clubs with youth teams I would put Madlax at 1, followed by BLC for DMV. BW and VLC come into play in HS.

Only 3 kids showing up on the Vlc 2022 roster. Struggling to get kids or slow to update website?

Invites just went out this afternoon. Players only show up on roster after they complete registration on Crabs/VLC website, not when they email accepting roster spot.

More clubs/more talent means no one team will dominate. But certain clubs like Crabs and FCA will still be at the top.

The tryouts were well-attended, and as the PP stated invites began to go out yesterday afternoon and will continue going out through Thursday evening.

LOL - every top club had their tryouts over the weekend 2 weeks ago and last weekend. 3D started theirs early likely in hopes that they could snatch some kids early so they possibly could move up to the second worst club in the area this year ;-)

All VLC invites went out. If you have not yet heard, it's because they are waiting to see whether they need to pull your kid off the bench. Madlax has a deadline tomorrow. Seems like FCA and Crabs got a huge jump on these cats.

Crabs had their tryouts on the weekends of 8/16 and 8/21. VLC had their tryouts on the weekends of 8/14 and 8/28. FCA had their tryouts on the weekend of 8/7 and had to schedule a second for 8/21 due to people not being around. Madlax had their tryouts between 8/25 and 8/29. What's the huge jump? Crabs and FCA are not competing for NoVa players - no one is driving to Baltimore for practices, let's be honest.

Um, no. Crabs has a handful of kids from the DMV. FCA has more, but the DMV is not their base. When their tryouts occurred had very little bearing on the DMV clubs.

What do you guys think the M in DMV stands for? Are you under the impression that the DMV is strictly the DC metropolitan area? Seems about right for DC to think that.

Typically, about 2-5 kids from DC suburbs will make the trip Baltimore to play for FCA and Crabs. There is nothing comparable to those 2 clubs in grades 5th though 8th in the DMV.

Are you really that stupid? The M in the DMV is primarily Montgomery County and PG County. For lacrosse purposes, the MD clubs can get a few Montgomery County kids to make the drive (even a few VA), but generally their base is MD except for Montgomery County.

If you think Maryland (especially around Baltmore views Montgomery County as the same as the rest of the state, you are either a newcomer or an imbecile.

The points is the timing of the Crabs, FCA or any other "MD" club tryout really had no impact on kids in this area except for a handful.

VLC 2020 Team looks light on their website

Sorry... VLC 2022 Team looks light on their website

As someone mentioned earlier, the way the Crabs/VLC website works is that in order to be shown on the roster online, you have to login, register, and pay - they have 12 right now, most people will be registering this week and the roster on the site will round out.

Just like last year when Crabs finished 4th and FCA finished 6th in HoCo.

Total fluke that T91MD, DBacks, and Hawks finished ahead of them and Madlax easily bumped Crabs out of playoffs.

FCA and Crabs did well in B level tournaments over the summer, but didn't make a peep in the better attended events.
