| NL used to be a feeder to many High School programs but they lost that because Dave and Boh coach at The Heights and they have brought in many Heights players so he can develop them in house. So if you plan on going to STA, Landon, Gonzaga or Prep be aware that they play favorites with their players. I heard they cut a bunch of STA high school kids and diminished some other kids playing time in favor of playing kids from the Heights. Its inherently bad to have a club coach also coach a High School team it creates massive conflicts. |

| Well, we know a few on that team not at those schools who've been recruited so not sure how many is a few. I do think Madlax and VLC are more well known but Next Level is probably the next best alternative if you're in MD and don't want Madlax. |

| DCE now has best teams in the area. |

So you'll discount DCE, Madlax, BW and others too if their kids went to schools with good lacrosse programs too? Can't have it both ways. Also, the Mitchell's are only going into their 3rd year of full ownership so I think they are doing okay. |

You lose any credibility with this post. One of the top coaches and managers of the program is Colin Heeter and he is employed by St. Albans. Nice troll though. https://nextlevelspartans.com/coach/colin-heeter/ |

Heeter is a good dude and good coach and is definitely trying to get a pipeline going between NL and STA. |

| What grades does Heeter coach at STA? |

From the link "Currently, he is an assistant coach for the varsity program at St. Albans School as well as the 8th grade head coach. " |

So Heights has a pipeline to Next Level.
St Albans is developing a pipeline to Next Level. PVI has a pipeline to VLC. SSSA sends a lot to Madlax. DCE had a pipeline to Bullis. Past tense. Any other club-school pipelines? |

The 2020 team doesn't have a single Heights kid according to this link and I know this roster is missing at least 1 player who goes to GP. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/team/nextlevel2020/17 I'm not aware of any "pipeline" as all the rosters have varied widely amongst schools. If anything, I think the rosters are more geographic in nature. 2017 Roster # Player Pos Yr Hometown G A P 55 Gus Weiner A So Bullis , MD 7 0 7 9 Joey Graham A So Landon , MD 5 1 6 19 Doane Kiechel M So Gonzaga , MD 3 2 5 50 Cooper Johnson M So Landon , MD 1 2 3 3 Evan Schwartz A So Landon , MD 2 0 2 4 Isaac Aronson A So Bullis , MD 2 0 2 7 Kyle Davies M So St Albans , MD 2 0 2 10 Matt Amitay M So Landon , MD 2 0 2 24 Ryan Giles D So Landon , MD 1 1 2 0 Teddy Russell D So Gonzaga , MD 0 1 1 13 Merrick Willeford M So Churchill , MD 0 1 1 70 Lucas Andersen G So Landon , MD 0 0 0 8 Chase Maccartee M So Georgetown Prep , MD 0 0 0 14 Ian Miller M So Gonzaga , DC 0 0 0 15 Calvin Annulis G So Walter Johnson , MD 0 0 0 18 Street Roberts M So St Albans , MD 0 0 0 30 Patrick Gaul D So Georgetown Prep , MD 0 0 0 33 Harrison Oehler D So Richard Montgomery , MD 0 0 0 # Goalie Yr Hometown Saves GA % 70 Lucas Andersen So Landon , MD 6 11 35% 15 Calvin Annulis So Walter Johnson , MD 0 0 0% |

| 202O is an outlier. Probably the best 2020 team in the DC area. But the best kids in other grade at Bullis, Zaga, Prep, Albans, and Landon usually leave nL for mad lax, Vlc, black wolf. |

Outlier to what? The pp thought NL was a feeder to the Heights and St. Albans and the facts don't support that. Here's the 2021 roster from last year. There are 5 total kids from The Heights and St. Albans out of 21 listed and 1 of the players is Mitchell's nephew. 11 kids go to Gonaga, Prep, SJC and Landon. Show us the kids who left and probably the same amount left those programs to go to NL. The majority of ML, VLC, BW and DCE are geographic. The Heights and St. Albans are too specific in nature, one being strictly catholic in nature and the other being very exclusive in admission, for there to be any serious pipeline. # Player Pos Yr Hometown G A P 32 William O'brien A Fr St Albans , MD 5 2 7 7 Jayden Bendesky M Fr St Albans , MD 4 1 5 40 Tommy Jacobs M Fr Gonzaga , DC 2 2 4 17 Max Esposito A Fr Northwest , MD 2 0 2 3 James Bell M Fr The Heights , MD 1 1 2 11 Dominic Yantiss A Fr The Heights , MD 1 1 2 4 Sean Mccarthy G Fr Gonzaga , DC 0 0 0 23 Ryan Robinson G Fr Riverside , MD 0 0 0 5 Eddie Farley M Fr St John's , DC 0 0 0 8 Kevin Kaldes D Fr Langley , MD 0 0 0 12 Ethan Herr A Fr Landon , MD 0 0 0 13 Alex Anastassopoulos D Fr Landon , MD 0 0 0 14 Eric Mollard D Fr Churchill , MD 0 0 0 15 Sean Miller M Fr Gonzaga , DC 0 0 0 21 Will Mitchell A Fr The Heights , MD 0 0 0 24 Nico Jordan M Fr Georgetown Prep , MD 0 0 0 25 Peter Dolan D Fr St John's , DC 0 0 0 34 Matthew Fierro D Fr Landon , MD 0 0 0 48 Jordan Rose M Fr Landon , MD 0 0 0 # Goalie Yr Hometown Saves GA % 4 Sean Mccarthy Fr Gonzaga , DC 13 9 59% 23 Ryan Robinson Fr Riverside , MD 7 8 47% |

| I really like the NL coaches and the program. But pp you just made my argument for me. The best players at Zaga, Landon, Bullis, St albans, Prep, and sJA play for Madlax, VLC, Crabs, dCE and BW. Look it up. |

When are the high school club lax practices? Don’t high schoolers get out of regular school sports practices at like 6pm?

Why don't you post and prove? The question was about pipelines, not about class success. |
