Here's last season. Truly a mediocre record. Even what's supposedly their best team (2026) isn't that good at 12-8-2.

The high school junior teams (2024), which should represent the pinnacle of VLC's vaunted "player development", are just terrible. DiCo 5-8-5 and Whelchel 0-4-0.

And as for 2025, Inman went 5-22 (lmao) and Mabry 8-11-2. No wonder nobody on those teams wanted to come back this year, if that is actually true.

At the very least, the club has seriously miscategorized the brackets the teams play in at each tournament. I'm sure the boys enjoyed being the punching bag team for the bracket they were in.

Great stats and way to pull the results.  But game results don't matter, although it does feel better to win rather than to lose.  Talk to any college coach.  They don't care if the team you are on wins or loses.  They want to see you play and determine if you are a fit for their program.  Yes, it does help if you are in the "higher level" tournaments.  That does show how you can play against the "higher level" players.  But team results on the high school club circuit just don't matter for college recruiting.

Now, let's look at numbers.  Greg Gurenlian just posted on Instagram a stat designed to relax some face off athletes, and it is interesting.  77 D1 programs, 81 D2 programs, and 245 D3 programs.  403 total NCAA men's lacrosse programs.  So if you want to play at the next level (college), there is likely an opportunity for you, regardless of what club you play for in high school.  It is up to the player to publicize themselves and engage the coaches of the teams they want to play for.  Not everyone wants to, or needs to, play for UVA, UMD, Hopkins, Syracuse, etc.  There is some really good lacrosse, and more importantly, holistic college opportunities, at other schools.[/quote]
