[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is DCE a good spot for a kid riding the bench at ML/NL and facing a future of limited playing time or dropping town to their “B” teams? Don’t care about college recruiting. [/quote]

no, it is a terrible spot because he will the same limited playing time on DCE as ML/NL.  If he doesn't care about recruiting just to with whichever of the three B teams (ML DMV, NL Red, or DCE Orange) he likes best.[/quote]

How can that be the case, at least for the next few class years? Won’t DCE Black be comprised largely of kids leaving their programs for greener pastures and would tend to be toward the bottom of the depth chart on their teams like ML, NL, Hawks, etc.? For the next class up for example - the 2031s - the BLC team is not competitive at all, plays in the very last HoCo bracket, etc. etc. and I’d imagine has maybe one or two kids good enough to make a DCE Black quality team. Where will they find 20+ kids good enough to start for the ML, NL, Hawks/Crabs clubs but willing to leave for a new DCE team?[/quote]

Trust me, they will find them. Often it is the better players on ML and NL, not the weaker ones, who move over to DCE.  Plus DCE will recruit players as far south as Richmond, north as Philly, and east as Annapolis. For example, DCE 2028 was one of the weaker teams in HoCo in spring of 2024, but now are better than Madlax and Next Level. If your son is not good enough to qet playing meaningful time at ML or NL, moving to DCE will not solve the problem, and might make it worse.[/quote]

The bottom third of the roster on all three of those programs is like a revolving door of players chasing game time.  Movement at the top third of the roster is less frequent, but it definitely happens, and the DCE teams are typically net winners relative to NL and ML.[/quote]
