Pretty sure that was the VLC B team so........

Wrong! It was the 2029 VLC A team

So you are complaining that you won?

Nobody is complaining that they won, they are one-upping and making snarky put downs of other programs, like "our fifth grade B team can hang with your A team." As the Dad of a high school player, please trust me that someday you will look back at posts like this and wonder "how could I have been such a tool."

Interesting. I think it does say something for the club that parents of the older teams are always quick to defend the "process"

So what do you think it says? That they’ve been through it and probably can give you the best assessment, rather than one based on a few months?

Hilarious that for many years the party line about VLC was "they are a great organization that really cares about player development and that's why they only have one team per grade level unlike MadLax and other clubs that have B teams as a cash cow" and yet as soon as they could, VLC started running B teams as a cash cow.

I don’t begrudge them for it. And I think it’s a little more complicated than that, given they basically folded in Cavalier.

I suspect the complaining parent cares more about lacrosse than the kid.

That doesn’t sound like a parent at all.

They bought Cavalier because they wanted a B team cash cow.

It is indeed a parent and not hard to guess who.

If you don’t know the guys running VLC, they didn’t want or need a cash cow. There were other reasons like the guy running Cavs had a kid playing for VLC. B teams end up being a PITA.

I do know them, and of course it’s a cash cow.

Or you could see it from another view and VLC did the standup thing for the Cavalier players and instead of sending them packing, they had more than one team per age group.
Everyone loves to sh*t on programs for being cash cows but they have no idea what it takes to run a program. Most of the leaders in lacrosse are doing it for reasons other than cash.

Actually you are wrong. They bought them because cavalier has a Trey strong early youth program and VLC had none.
