[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw Madlax is getting a lot of comparative discussion on another club's thread.

I also noticed their 2027 Capital team has a roster of 34 players. Please tell me this isn't true.

[/quote]For the first tournament the roster was cut to 26.  Included within the 26 are a number of bubble players who are suiting up but have been warned not to expect much time; but those same players will get time in the DMV games.  So the full time Capital team is at 20 or less players.[/quote]

Except it's not at 20. It's at 26 and 6 of those players aren't going to play unless it's a blowout which is just like any other lacrosse roster. Those bottom 6 are being asked to pay a lot of money not to play but that's the parent's choice.

This also means the DMV team has an official roster of 18 players with at least 6 additional players coming down to take time. This means at least 4 players on DMV will barely see the field. Oh, and don't forget when the DMV team makes a final or has a good chance to win a tournament because that means a few more Capital players will be asked to play in those games. This is status quo for MadLax.

The DMV roster is substantially less than 18, so even when the bubble players are added, the overall roster should be reasonable.  Capital players will not get pulled down, unless DMV is hurting for numbers, which happened for one tournament this summer.  But the prior poster is correct that status quo for MadLax is to carry as many players as possible, and make as many as possible feel like they are on or close to the Capital team. It is a mutually successful business model - the owner does extremely well, and many sophisticated, successful families are lining up and competing each season to be customers.  The Capital teams are highly ranked nationally in almost every age division.  If your son is one of the top 15-16 players in his grade, the program is likely to be a good experience. If not, buyer beware.  [/quote]
