[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone pass along and update the thread with info on current programs for Elementary School aged clubs in the NOVA area?

Specific questions:

Does the club have a team designated for each age group, or are there combined age groups for some years?
Is there more than 1 team per age group?
What is the approximate roster size?
Dates of summer tryouts (although that is probably the least important, because that is info that can be found on their website)

Thank You.[/quote]

These are good questions but I think they are hard to answer except that last one as even the clubs do not know until they have a tryout what the final teams will look like.

1.  Most try to keep one per grade or at least they typically have although when they do not have enough players they will combine grades.  EX:  2030 player may have some 2031 players if they cannot get enough for a team at each age group.
2.  VLC used to be the only club who really stuck with one team per age group but merging with Cav's they now have two at some ages.  Madlax would always try to get as many teams as they could.  Hammers may now have them beat as they have multiple along with True lacrosse expanding.  If they can get enough credit card numbers they will add teams.
3.  I think anything more than 20 for Elm school is stealing money but some teams have had up to 26. 18-20 is ideal.

Best advice, take it one season at a time.  Loyalty to a club is not returned.  As they get to HS most of the roster will change over.  At Elm school age look to where friends are playing and better commute.  7-8th grade is when you should consider a club change anyway unless you really fit with a coach and club.  If looking to play in college go with a name brand and pick either of them as they will all get a player into the right events to be seen.  In HS the team's winning % or US Club ranking is meaningless.  Look at the recruiting for the 2023 and 2024 classes.  NL-DCE-VLC-ML have all done really well.  All the others are outliers with players that may have been able to be recruited by showcases and prospect days.  I know that most Elm school parents say they are not worried about recruiting yet but all parents think about it if they are being honest.  The same kids who are the best in Elm school do end up being the ones who are going to play D1[/quote]
