[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number of 2026 DMV kids promoted to Capital is zero, because MadLax is upgrading its Cap teams by re-classes, out of state players, and poaches from other programs.  This will push Capital players to the bench, the DMV team, or out of the program.  It is happening right now.  Nobody is moving up from DMV to Capital. [/quote]

As are other clubs. I get that ML is the big bad boogie man to many people, but to pretend other clubs are promoting oodles of kids up from the B team to the A team is just naive. And all clubs poach. And all clubs get re-class kids. And they recruit (see DCE HS rosters, as one example). C'mon people...do better than this.

If your son is a B team player on any club at this point, than that is what he is, which is just fine. Hopefully he has great teammates, is learning and is having fun. And my guess is your son knows he is a B team player and is just fine with that too. Enjoy the Summer people...the intensity ramps up next year![/quote]

Just go where your kid can play.  ML and NL will not play some kids and try to win.  VLC tends to play everyone and doesn't focus on results, which has other issues if roster too big.  Lots of options are good and just find the right one.  NL poaches as much as anyone and their 25 teams is full of kids that reclassed this year, so those parents may want to try a different club.   Same with NL 24 that grabbed a bunch of ML kids.  VLC turned over half of their 25 team.  Don't be afraid to switch, the clubs have no loyalty and will grab players that are closer to committing rather than developing your player.  I'm a WCAC parent and you can't compare club coaching to high school.  Ok to be a bench warmer on a really strong HS team because the practices are so high level. Same does not apply to club where there are very few practices for HS teams and you launch right into the tournaments.  [/quote]
