I think that’s generally true. Interestingly, the VA Elite 18s team that just graduated had 6 D1 commits and 5 D3. I believe other than Metro 18 Travel, they had the most D1 commits from a CHRVA team in 2025. I think that team was a bit of an outlier for VA Elite though.

Looking at their recruiting page, this year seems to be pretty consistent with other years - mix of D1 and high academic D3.

I don't see any lists of commitments for prior years, but I do see they boast a "100% placement rate". If it really is true that they are sending +/-6 players to D1 programs every year, I do wonder why they aren't more competitive?

Look on their recruiting tab on their website, yes generally 6+ go D1. I think they take a lot of kids with height so they get recruited with potential in mind. Last I heard, most of their kids generally play in college vs riding the pine. Maybe their technical training is good. No idea

And there’s D1 (impressive) and there’s D1 (who?) I will give them their D3 list is impressive, for what it’s worth.

I agree with a PP: VA Elite doesn't seem to slow down in terms of college commitments.

For VA Elite, will be interesting to see how their 2027 class shapes up.

Why 2027? Are they good?

2026 class seems to be following a theme - Tufts, Colby, Carnegie Mellon
