What happens after U-15 for Next Level players? Do they just play for their HS team? Or do they join Madlax or VLC?

Also, madlax is still playing in npyll. No dominoes falling. Just lies being propagated by vindictive ex-madlaxers.

Incomprehensible post.

Next Level has historically fielded two HS teams - a freshman/sophomore team and a junior/senior team. But because all HS events are grade based, those teams would typically enter into rising junior and rising senior divisions, respectively (or "open" divisions).

Most of those kids who played for NL in youth will play for VLC or Madlax. Some will play for Maryland clubs further away (e.g. Crabs, Greene Turtle), etc. Those who are less seriously typically play just for their HS team.

Most clubs have tryouts over the course of two or more days.

What about Bethesda Lacrosse players? Where do they typically go after U-15?

What's incomprehensible is that someone (presumbly an adult) would actually go thread to thread posting the exact same message, in an obvious attempt to benefit their club.

The PP likely made the "ex-madlaxer" statement for effect, but as I read through the posts on this forum, many of them do come across as catty and insincere. Although, I don't entirely agree with the PP's statement, I can see how someone could come to that conclusion.

Since both programs are geologically neighbors, I would guess the same teams as Next Level kids.

Or maybe the person is outraged over the behavior of the founder of that club and can't believe a some of his customers excuse/condone that behavior.

How do YOU justify it?

[Anonymous]

If you took the time to read my post before flying off the handle, you would understand that I didn't justify anything. I stated that I could see how someone might get that impression. Completely different, but thank you for proving my point. Next time try to grasp main topic before rushing to judgement.

I so which you could appreciate how many levels of irony are in your post. No worries, they'll get to it when you reach high school.

Correct. My son plays for Bethesda. The kids tend to scatter to a number of different clubs.
