[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope VLC made cuts this year.  The club is on the downswing in part because they don’t have the heat to cut people/[/quote]It will some time until rosters are posted but there have already been cuts on a few teams, as well as new additions.[/quote]

The VLC gods took out their machetes during tryouts.  Lots of cuts.  Lots.  Dudes just trying to scapegoat their less than stellar win loss records and college commitment lists lately.  Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors.  The truth will catch up with you - you boys are slipping.[/quote]

This commentary is comical.  If they made cuts, lets say it was because they had a "less that stellar win loss record" (you've already been commented about their 2020 commitments), how is it smoke and mirrors to have tryouts and replace kids that either weren't skilled enough or other kids came to tryouts that were more skilled?  Isn't that the purpose of EVERY tryout?  Every team should be looking to either affirm their current talent level or upgrade where they can.  VLC, MadLax, Next Level and every other team should be doing that and if not they have to realize the others are.

Across the board, across the country at the top programs and the bottom programs you will have teams that just don't perform like others.  It's nearly impossible to make blanket statements about any of these clubs.  VLC wasn't all less than stellar in win/loss, though some teams were.  Madlax doesn't just have a coach that sends nasty emails to and about a player, though it happens.  This is lacrosse, it's not life.  It's not what most of our kids are going to do for a living.  Enjoy the time, cheer for your kids and have fun.  Life's too short.  If your kid got cut (which is what I suspect from the original poster), reassess whether or not he had a good tryout and either work in the offseason and try out again or move on to another team.  There is a spot for everyone and getting cut/not making the team isn't the end of the world.  Michael Jordan didn't make his high school varsity team until he was a junior.  He had to not make it as a sophomore to rededicate himself to his passion.

Have a great day and just relax a bit.
