[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care about who wins a little youth tournament or the middle school HOCO league. That is OK if you do, everyone has different priorities.

I care about college placement and college coach connections - what is going to give my son the best opportunity to get a crack at the collegiate level.

Mad Lax College placement dwarfs what Next Level has ever done - the numbers don't lie. And if you look at the college placement of the NL kids, its primarily the private school kids from Landon, Georgetown Prep and Gonzaga. While Mad Lax has a number of private school players too, they also seem to do a great job with the public school players as well. I am well aware of some of the previous tactics with the Mad Lax owner but has of now, we have had no issues with the owner or club. (started in MS and son is now in HS)

For all these reasons, our son has stuck with the Mad Lax program.

I hope it works out for your son and family too.

MadLax is a fine club. But implying that MadLax offers any type of college placement advantage over other area programs is wishful thinking.  And your theory that CM has some magic touch with public school players that other clubs lack is... how do I say this without hurting your feelings?... BS.

Clubs rise and fall.  MadLax is in decline right now across a majority of their teams. That's ok. Doesn't mean they can't rise again. Doesn't mean your son can't thrive there.  If the club is convenient for you and your kid is happy and improving, great. That's all that matters.

But please don't try to fool yourself or others into thinking your son has a better chance of playing college ball in a few years due to CM's 'college coach connections' or C.A.S.E. system or past college placements.

If you're making your kid 'stick' with a youth club team because you think ML has an 'advantage' on college lacrosse placement than I'm guessing a.) this is your oldest kid... b.) you've never been through the recruiting process before... and c.) again, how do I say this nicely... sorry, but it's unlikely to go the way you want.[/quote]
