[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BLC has two full teams (A and B) for each graduation year and tons of kids at tryouts that they didn't offer a spot to. This is great for them, but can anyone explain why Madlax and Next Level aren't in the same position?  They both have A teams, but don't have enough per grade for B teams so combine years (2023/24 or 2022/23).  Seems crazy that they can't recruit enough players to fill rosters and slightly dangerous for younger kids to play up and a time waster for older kids to play down.  Why would parents pay the big bucks to set their kid up on a half way team like this or is it just better than no team at all?[/quote]

Because it has an affiliation with the Bethesda rec program, BLC draws a lot of players to tryouts, but often many of these kids are not the typical club-level player.  So BLC's tryout population is deep, but the depth doesn't always imply strength at the top for that class year.  That ends up being more random based on the geography of the better players in that year.  Until the older years in which people gunning for D1 etc. defect to the proven pipelines of Madlax, BW, and VLC, there is a lot of randomness in the strength of these particular clubs.     [/quote]
