[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](1) great coaches; (2) great kids; (3) winning teams.  Unless the owner actually coaches your son's team (I think 2024 and 2028) you will never have to deal with him.
If your son is on the top 15 or so in his age group MadLax is a great experience and fantastic investment.  If he is number 16 or lower on Capital, or he is on DMV, probably not.  [/quote] All true[/quote]

What about the 27's? They just switched coaches to the former BLC dad coach. He brought his son and a bunch of mater dei kids to the team on an already huge roster. Should make for fun sideline conversations as those players take time from the pre-existing players. [/quote]

Yes, the 2027's are going to be interesting to watch this fall. I believe that the new coach from BLC is an assistant, not replacing the incumbent head coach.  But in any event, with the influx of BLC players, the prior poster's analysis will remain accurate, probably even more so - the top 16 players on the Capital roster (whether legacy MadLax players or new boys from BLC) will have a great experience, and an already strong team will be much improved; the bottom 8-10 players on Capital will get good coaching and good competition in practice, and can brag that they are on a top 1-3 national team (trust me, they do) but they will have difficulty getting onto the field in games; and the DMV players (including the "Warriors," who are rostered on both Capital and DMV) will get okay coaching, and tons of game time in DMV games, but zero time in Capital games. And to make it more interesting, the 2027's are near the age where Madlax will bring in still more players from their Texas or Oregon programs for certain tournaments.  All players on all ML teams (Capital, DMV, regional) will pay above market prices.  Fortunately, the families who are successful enough to afford this are sophisticated enough to figure it out, and will make a decision by spring either to stay or go by balancing where their son stands against their other options.  MadLax will make lots of money, which is the legitimate objective of any business, and people who are not happy customers will leave.  The owner is free to send nasty emails or IG posts to those who do leave, but the truth is that he only sends those to the GOOD players who leave, not the average or bad ones, and families are free to ignore them, and to view them as validation that their son is good. I happen to know a family who received such an email and it was taped to their refrigerator with pride. All is well in the world of MadLax. [/quote]
