[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many teams have kids that play football, and their coaches don't allow them to play in the league, even on a Sunday.  Some kids have Fall Jobs on the weekends. Some programs aren't organized, or a change in the coaching staff leading to low numbers at registration.

VEL is a great opportunity to 1) play lacrosse, 2) transition from Middle School to JV, and JV to Varsity, 3) take on a new or bigger role within your program. 4) continue to work on your overall individual & team development. 5) create a bond with your teammates. 6) have fun and compete.   Wins/Loses don't count towards anything in VEL, but you take back what your learning, seeing in these games and work on them this off-season to be a better team in the Spring.

We've been lucky for 13+ years that we have this consistent and affordable league each and every season for all the programs and players in this area.  [/quote]

Yes all of this.

Others find additional value in [b]evaluating teams and players[/b]. Thank you for your opinion. [/quote]

You can't tell much about a team when teams are incomplete, but good point about evaluating players.  any particular players who made good showings?

with the caveat that nobody has their full roster in the fall, three teams that beat expectations in week 1 are Indy, Langley, and Battlefield - any noteworthy personal performances on those teams?[/quote]

I watched Langley/Yorktown. Langley's top FOGO did not play but their other FOGO did a nice job and won the majority of the faceoffs. Yorktown tried a number of different guys at the X including at least one pole but they had less success. Langley's close D seemed to be missing the big #1 but the other guys did a good job limiting Yorktown's offense in settled situations.  Yorktown will need to figure out who is running the show on offense without #7 there any more. Yorktown's close D looked pretty good against Langley's attack (typical athletic and aggressive Yorktown D), but overcommitted on the outside a couple times and got beat with late or no slides. Langley's goalie play was better, especially in the first half with Langley's veteran goalie in. One Langley middie had at least three goals and looked good. No one is wearing their in season numbers so it is hard to tell who's who, but maybe #12.

Was surprised to see Battlefield put up so many goals on Robinson. Did anyone catch that one?[/quote]
