[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is on one of the DCE HS teams and his experience has been great, but he didn’t join until 9th grade.   Obviously there is a systemic problem with the younger BLC teams.   
Based on this thread, it looks like those problems stem from parent coaching.  Hopefully they are smart enough to fix that.  [/quote]

Is there really though?  It seems like there just isn’t too much demand in this area for club level lax.  NL, ML and BLC don’t even have B teams in several years.  It seems like there is enough demand for about 5 club teams per year.  I don’t know why, but it seems like kids are gravitating to other club sports like soccer and basketball.  My guess is that the earlier and earlier club sports have led kids to pick one sport at a younger age, and that has hurt lax around here.  [/quote]

B Teams? B teams shouldn't be traveling outside of the immediate DC area. It's not worth the time or expense. Call it what it is - rec.  This area can easily support another A team travel club and Club Blue will try to fill that. [/quote]

Where will the players come from?  Do you imagine there’s 20 A team level players not playing on any club team right now?  Obviously there isn’t.  If Club Blue survives, it will be by cannibalizing from the NL, ML and BLC B teams[/quote]

They can take from dying football, basketball, baseball, soccer and from the players on the cusp of getting good reps at the other 3 teams. They can help grow the sport by offering more local clinics and real rec level stuff to introduce kids. [/quote]
