[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nationally the sport may still be growing but in the DMV that is no longer the case.  NVYLL numbers have been on a slight decline for a few seasons.  There are not more club players only less.  Cardinal, Crash, VA United, CAV, 3D, and a few other g-lax clubs are no longer getting numbers and fielding as many teams.  Some new clubs have been started but it is not the same numbers as 5-6 years ago.  The trend is fewer players feeding the same number of clubs. Simple economics means clubs will take less talented players to fill roster spots.  [/quote]

This. Texas and Cali are on to the gravy train of lax schollies now.  Heyday of DMV is over.  Yes, it is still popular and will remain so, but the growth now in the DMV is in girls ice hockey, field hockey, fencing and crew. That’s where the smart DMV parents are putting their younger girls.

Please check out the college commitments page on Inside Lacrosse.  For all commitments since 1/1/2021 DMV has 29% of commitments and TX and CA combined have 5%. Maryland completely dominates the list and even Virginia has more than TX and CA combined.

Silly troll. I ain’t talking about now. The number of club teams and tourneys in those states has grown exponentially in just the last 5 years. The girls aged to commit aren’t ready yet as they only have limited experience still.  Those states have younger girls that are developing. 5 years from now, those commit numbers will be history as the athletes in Texas and Cali grow up playing lax.  Yes, DMV will still have a fair share, but the world is about to get real different for those in classes of the late 2020’s. That’s why a number of parents are moving younger kids to other sports.
