[quote=Anonymous]VLC is actually owned by the Baltimore Crabs owner who is also controversial.  But it's locally run, so unlikely that matters much in terms of a player's experience there.  VLC has historically been one of the better teams in the area and recently has had better luck in the recruiting battles than anyone other than Madlax and Blackwolf in the immediate DC area.  But the rising competitiveness of clubs like DCE, Next Level, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Cavs, has probably weakened VLC some.  Increasingly, it looks like we are in an era where in instead of three clubs having virtually every college player (Madlax, BW, VLC), players are more spread out.  For instance, I like a fair reading is that Madlax has the best 2019 team, Next Level probably has the best 2020 team, and DCE has the best 2021 team in the area (hard to compare BW since they don't play in the same leagues).  That's not to say that VLC is a worse club to be at than they once were, just that players are spread over more clubs now than they once were, which is a good thing on the whole since there is now much choice, although DC area teams are more diluted.

In terms of tryouts, in general if you have a kid that is fast and very visibly a high level athlete, they tend to get a fair shake at tryouts.  Its the players that aren't off-the-charts athletes, but are effective because of excellent stick skills, high lacrosse IQ, etc., that tryouts can be more of a mixed bag for.  My anecdotal sense is that for those types of players, there is some randomness in the tryout process and they are generally better off if they get into a club system early.          [/quote]
