[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]All clubs in MOCO have B teams.[/quote]
NP. Can you provide more info or links? Thanks! [/quote]

Go to the Madlax, DC Express, Next Level, 3d, MDX, Cannons, True MD or look at the Howard County Club Lacrosse league:  http://ghclc.teampages.com/
This lists most of the clubs in the DMV area. While this is a list of youth and Middle school teams, these clubs also have HS teams.  While it is true that many of the top teams are filled with private school kids who have been playing since third grade, many also have a second team or B team.  Some clubs play in the B division and in HS they play at B level tournaments.  Madlax for example will typically take a player for the second team with a more development role.  Some people think these teams are a waste of money "money grab" as they seldom result in recruitment to a top college program but these teams can and do develop a player for HS.  Many clubs also sponsor summer camps.  If you are looking for a place to play, it is out there.  Of course nothing replaces a wall to practice throwing and catching skills.  A player can start later but must master basic stick skills in the back yard.  The great think about this sport is that a player can make themselves better and practicing is fun.[/quote]

To the OP. this is a great post.  The reality is that lacrosse is very competitive in this area and if you want an opportunity you have to do some work.  You started here and the above is great advice.  Find the clubs (HoCo website) and then reach out to them.  In general most of the clubs we have dealt with are very willing to talk and provide advice/opportunity.  The post about strength is also very good.  Strength and quickness for a defender is key and is stuff that can (and needs to) be worked outside of a club setting.  Your high school coach should also know about this stuff, reach out to the coaching staff.[/quote]
