I wonder if some of these elite programs regret acting too soon. I haven’t heard of any of them pulling back offers.

Elite programs recruiting from their club pools, schools, tournaments, or somewhere else?

Club teams and especially summer invitational tournaments.

Ask UVA who has been a leader in this absurd early recruiting. They didn't even make the tournament this year. Hopkins didn't make it for the first time in 40yrs.

Wrong. There are several good DC area lacrosse clubs, but almost all of them are on the Virginia side (which is blasphemy on this forum).

I was partially joking though Baltimore does have some of the best clubs, NY is better...

What are the DC and Virginia club teams?

Tops 13-15 u crabs team 91
Top 11 u team 91

Please go back to the carpool line. Even if the poster was asking for names of top clubs outside of this area (and why would she/he?), Team 91 is not one of the best.

Best U15 in this area - VLC (Virginia Lacrosse Club)

Best U13 in this area - Madlax

Best U11 in this area - Bethesda

I agree.

I also agree. I happen to be a mom with a kid not in any of those clubs/organizations. Part of being a good sport is to acknowledge who is doing well even if it isn't your own team. These organizations are all good and there are many other good organizations around here. There is something for everyone where lax in the dc area is concerned.

For U13 I would have to add the Crabs and the Hawks.

Hawks had an easy schedule and have not done much this summer.

This is a DC forum. That is why non-DC clubs like Crabs were not included.

For girls in middle school, Stars. In HS, Capital, closely followed by M&D. I know, someone will say that M&D is not DC based, but considering how far kids travel, e.g. Capital has had players from W. Albemarle, I consider M&D part of this region.
