Don’t mind the coach, but SR is the hot school now. No one stays on top forever. Visi doesn’t bring in the top talent at the safest rate as some of the other schools.

When was the last time Visi didn't have a winning record?

Season ending top 8:

1. GC (Didn't play SR but beat Potomac and Visi soundly, and stayed unbeaten in DC-area for a second year);
2. SR (Season-ending surge puts them back on top of ISL)
3. Potomac (If they win VISAA, they deserve the third spot, despite the semifinal exit in the ISL)
4. SSSAS (Very talented group, and when firing on all cylinders could beat any team any day, but inconsistent in the end)
5. SJC (Only lost to GC in WCAC, and strong DCSAA win over Visi pushes them up the rankings)
6. Visi (Played toughest out of conference schedule and beat SSSAS in reg season, but ran out of gas in postseason)
7. PVI (3rd best in WCAC, played hard all season)
8. BI (4th and fading in WCAC)

This sounds correct to me.

I agree with the rankings as well. Are there any links to the ISL and/or WCAC all conference teams?

Not sure I agree that SJC would beat SSSAS now, but agree that underclassmen develop better when they get to play and overall team balance over multiple years can improve.

See eg Maryvale and SPSG in the IAAM. Both started Freshmen over established upperclass commits. Will be a benefit over the next several years.

You'll find fresh/soph players in the easy games that every ISL school plays even SR/SSSAS, but when it comes to tougher competition, it's a different story. If the older players have the upper hand in skill and experience, you can bet the coach will choose them. A savvy coach won't risk playing fresh/soph in crucial games unless they truly are better than the older players and have something special to offer.

Similarly in college, coaches do not allocate game time for player development; that is designated for practice and individual training. Coaches primarily emphasize the team's success over the growth of individual players. It is unreasonable to anticipate high school coaches to concentrate on enhancing your player. Their main objective is to secure wins with the best players, occasionally making substitutions when needed. Most teams are composed of juniors and seniors, with a few younger players included. This applies to virtually every ISL lax team. The majority of younger players and parents have misguided beliefs that their child is superior, despite the coach observing them in practice and understanding their capabilities. If your child truly excelled as a freshman/sophomore, they would receive more playing time....

Some of these schools might be better now if they had spent the past few seasons developing their talent

I don't believe there were any Freshman on SSSAS Varsity. SR had players in the "something special to offer" category for non-easy games as well.

playing time helps but the sjc freshman were a no show in WCAC championship game.
