[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your son is hoping to get better and play in HS, do not put him on a B team.  That is terrible parenting.[/quote]

huh?  i don't understand.[/quote]

If your son wants to improve, he needs to play with the best teammates he can find and against the best competition possible.   That is not going to happen with any club's B team.  Unless there is not a decent A team that your son can make, avoid Madlax's B team or any B team.  Those kids never have a good experience unless it's really marginal kids who just want to have fun and aren't worried about making the HS team.

If your son plays for a weak HS team and just wants to make the team, that's a different story.  But if your son wants to be impactful in HS, do not play for a B team.[/quote]

Madlax's B teams actually have some good players.  So does Next Level's.  From what I know, so will DC Express's.  The problem with B teams is that there is just not enough depth.  That said, your B team player at Madlax or Next Level will get good coaching, will be better off with a stick in his hand all year than without, and should be able to waltz into any public school program, and should also be able to make almost all private school teams.[/quote]

Not to sound dense, but how does a rec kid break into a club A team if he is not 6' tall?  Most of these clubs' A teams have been playing together for years and have b team players waiting in the wings or kids from other clubs who are moving around.  My kid loves lacrosse but isn't good enough to beat out an existing A team player.  It didn't seem like the coaches even looked at those sorts of kids without another club behind their name.
