Well this puts to rest who this guy thinks is a better club. They got Madlax's second string goalie and he is happy. LOL

Not sure making fun of the KIDS on the VLC team is needed

But it is good to point out that it will be hard for them to play with 2 poles.

5 Attack and 5 mid/attack is a bit much

Kielbasa is a nut ball hack that run's 21 like a B level rec team.

Nothing would be surprising at this point given the train wreck that team has been since he took the helm. Unfortunately, the really talented and dedicated kids suffer being a part of that mess.

Another embarrassing year folks....have fun with that.

Sounds like your kid got cut...

If you think it's going to be hard to play with 2 poles, imagine the 2018s - they only have one guy period, as a middie/attack, who's going to cover the goal??

Ok enough sarcasm - I'm not certain how hard the concept is to understand, but as has been mentioned previously, the online roster updates as the players register. 2021s will have plenty of poles, and they have at least 5 more players who need to register.

To the guy who made the comment about them taking the Madlax 2nd goalie, have you ever even played lacrosse or any other sport? Every starting line player begins somewhere - it's just an ignorant comment.

Thank God Pannell didn't have morons like you influencing his career...

Hi, Madlax dad!

If the names are displayed as people are signing up, do you really think this is the final roster? Do you really think they will only have 2 poles on the field?

I'm glad the moderator took down that awful post. But the poster was probably just frustrated. You can't blame the kids for trying out (and being selected) for the team. You can blame the parents for being delusional. It should be obvious by now which kids have real talent, and which are just good players. I'm sure what's happening at VLC is what's happening everwhere else including my kid's club - delusional parents refusing to let their dream of college recruitment die. Unforunately, they screw over the really talented kids (and parents) in the process.

I'm sure they'll have more than 2 poles. The fact that only 2 are listed when most of the rest of the roster is listed is not a good sign however. Certainly means that last year's poles decided to go elsewhere, never a good sign. For the current crop, either offers were rejected and now they are scrambling to find decent backups. Or the invitees are on the fence, considering other offers. Either way, not a good sign for this team.

I truly hope this is a troll rather than a parent at VLC. I know Coach K has thick skin. He'll have a good chuckle when he reads this. Still, it's an unseemly and UNFAIR post. By the way, you do know we are talking about an 8th grade team? Why are your panties in such a bunch?

DC Express 2021 is the Top 2021 Team in area . BLC 2021 has always been the best has never lost a game to MadLax, NL, VLC, CB - not even a game within 5 goals and beat NL 20-0 and CB 13-3 last year and only 2021 team in Maryland that beat Crabs. Those are just facts. 100% of the players from BLC returned for DCE and also added 8 new players - including players from Annapolis, Baltimore, Northern VA, and Olney - so drawing kids from other areas. NL had two good players - both now DCE. One CB player came over this year.

2021 is first DCE organically formed team - meaning - BLC boys fed into the mix. The older Teams formed do not have that benefit. DCE 21 is the best of BLC 21 - which was already the best and added several players.

No top players went to NL 2021 Tryouts - only boys who did not make DCE 2021 Black - why would anyone go to NL from BLC after a 20-0 win - that would be a waste of time.

NL will never play DCE at 2021. Would be waste of time.

MadLax 21 likely added players and closed the gap, but please stop talking about NL or VLC - at 2021 they will be aweful. FCA too - BLC beat them 18-2 this spring in hoco.

Crabs and BLC were top 2021 Teams last year and will be again this year and till this year group graduates.

Wow - you seem to know everything, can you tell us what the next set of Powerball numbers are too? LOL

Do you really think college coaches give a [lacrosse] who wins games at recruitment tourneys? If so, you don't know scat. It's all about having 2-3 studs on a team that draws the coaches attention. That's when they get to see the other 23. Madlax and VLC and Blackwolf have at least those 2-3 studs every year, and usually more. That's why they will continue to crush the wannabes like NL and Express. So, great, win all those meaningless games NL and Express. The real game is recruitment and y'all are gonna lose that to the DMV Big Boys every time.

Funny thinking that VLC and Madlax will crush upstarts like NL and Express. For 2020 NL beat Madlax and their National team every time this past season. VLC isn't even close to NL2020.
As for the 2021 kids, the DC Express will dominate including Madlax/VLC.

Dear VLC bubble dad,
sorry to give you the news but winning is very important to attracting better players to improve your program. Clubs like Madlax 2020 learned this last year by not playing in the Howard County League and lost most of their games and tournaments. VLC 2020 will continue to win at the 2nd tier but can't hang with any of the the top 2020 clubs. Having fun is of course important but if your kid is on a bad team they're not going to be invited to the better tournaments where all the college coaches are recruiting players for the "next level".

What years with VLC dominate? Certainly not 2020 or 2021. Guess your kid is having too much fun playing in Halloween Havoc.

LOL.

I am the guy who wrote the post at 2:56 pm. I am not a VLC dad at all. Our son played for BW and graduated two years ago. He used to play for NL and it was a complete disaster.

BW, Madlax and VLC are light years ahead of NL and Express. BW has had 150+ college recruits in a short amount of time and I'm sure VLC isn't far behind. Madlax is run by a jerk, but they have a lot of great players. All three are on a completely different tier than NL or this new Express thing. Are you kidding me? I've heard NL has a good freshman team and Express has a good 8th grade team. That's not the same as playing for a great club.

You missed my point. Of course winning is important (for the program and for kids). But nobody cares who wins a middle school game. The point is playing for a good program that teaches the game and can help you get to the next level (recruiting, playing in HS). Neither Express or NL have that reputation yet. They could get there eventually, but competition is pretty fierce up there from Madlax and BW.

I don't know anything about the VLC freshman team except that they have one of the best freshman in the country. I also know that BW, VLC and Madlax play in the best tournaments. NL never played in good tournaments and I seriously doubt this new Express team will, either

I've seen the VLC 2020 team play several times this year and they don't have any kid that would come close to "the best 2020" in the country. I have seen plenty of other top 2020 from teams like FCA/NinetyOne/Looneys/Crabs/LIE who do have some of the top 2020's in the country. VLC is a good B team at best. If they did have the best kid he'd be playing for another club that would provide better exposure.
