Feedback on VLC Club Lacrosse?

[Anonymous]

I agree that club teams like Madlax, Next Level and DCE get “credit” for college commits even though the private school had just as much to do with it (in terms of lacrosse quality, likely full pay ability, and academic prowess). What I liked about VLC is that while they do have their fair share of fancy pants private school kids, they place just as many public school kids at the colleges, many of whom play at the high D1 level.

My son plays for VLC and goes to a private school. We didn’t get the fancy pants. Did I miss an email about ordering?

Oh and somehow the “talentless” 2025 team had a good win against Green Turtle. I guess it was a fluke. Maybe someone was missing their fogo or some other excuse.

Does he go to Landon or some such school where you're paying upwards of 50K per year? Not all private schools are created equal. Lots of PVI and DJO kids on VLC and there is nothing fancy about those schools. Check the rosters of NL for example with the roster of your kid. Enough said.

We are better than we were 1 month ago, and especially 1 year ago. I will say that all of this negative chatter does not help anyone. Have some faith that the coaches will do their jobs,

Under this coach you are 2-6-2 at tournaments and 0-3 in HoCo. If this is “improvement” since last year then what would “no improvement” look like? If your coach is doing his job, then the kids on your team must be un-coachable or something.

“When are your coaches going to start doing their jobs?” is the real question here. Personally I would expect more considering what you’re probably paying them.

Not a 2025 parent but others can know VLC is one of the lower cost lacrosse options

No doubt!

I'm not sure why but VLC despite its success at placing its players at top programs consistently over the last decade has never transformed into a money grab situation. I still can't figure out why not. Shit I would if I were running the place. They are men of integrity who care about the game and the boys I guess. I once tried to figure out their per hour pay and seriously it was way below minimum wage. thank you bros for having your priorities straight and being great role models for our boys

Not a great outing for either team, both played sloppy. If Turtles win next week, they will have swept the four 1-4 teams in the division with a chance to make the playoffs.

VLC teams tend to hit their stride when they reach 9th grade as is true for the 2024 and 2023 teams which are solid. Crabs teams are the same
Way except when the players play 8th grade twice

Were the 2021 and 2022 teams getting more competitive through high school? That's not something I had heard from parents.

No... VLC is the B team for the Crabs.

Yes...both the 2021 and 2022 teams improved since middle school. Combination of improved play and adding new talent.

How many VLC alums are currently playing at the professional level?

If you are rating a program based on how many kids are playing at the professional level that might be the most laughable thing ever. Not just for lacrosse (though probably especially for lacrosse) but for all sports, judging by the numbers in the professional ranks is foolhardy.

But just for reference, Jack Rowlett is one of the top of the dome https://premierlacrosseleague.com/player/jack-rowlett

How many Next Level? DCE? Madlax (I think Romar Dennis https://premierlacrosseleague.com/player/romar-dennis)

But your point is not just laughable.

For a two year old team, VLC 2025 continues to outperform a lot of other team in the mid atlantic! Nice W this past weekend and competitive every week in AAA division. Great families and great players. Will only get better as these guys move into and through HS. Lots of chatter about great players from other clubs coming to tryouts this summer!

Yes that is all great but apparently someone needs to know how many of them are on track to go pro!!

LOL
