DCE (and BLC) had a good track record for being invited and showing up to those events.  [/quote]

I think its because the Founding NLF teams were asking the affiliate teams like DCE to pay big money to keep attending but not receive the profits from the tournament.  Hence the Affiliates and others to start a competing tournament.  Pinnacle.[/quote]

Yep. Word is they were paying affiliate price, but wanted to be treated more like a founding member due to alliance w LI Express.  So, ML jumped in and took the DC area membership status once they heard DCE was waffling. [/quote] How much is "big money" these days for a club fielding just 3 teams.[/quote]

Doesn't matter.  DCE and Hawks are still going to send a ton of kids to D1 schools.  They don't need NLF.  [/quote] So it's not about the money. NLF need these teams more than they need NLF?[/quote]

I think it was around 25k for full membership which gives you a cut of profits at the end of the year.  And NLF probably has 3 of the 4 best touch’s done the Summer in terms of competition and recruiting, so not so sure DCE doesn’t need NLF. Hawks has some good years and bad years, so the good teams get invited and the bad teams go do Aloha events. [/quote]

* 3 of the 4 best tournaments of the Summer[/quote]

Again, Hawks send tons of kids to D1 and are not in NLF.  If your kid is good he will still get recruited.  Lots of other way like Under Armour, Maverick Showtime, prospect days , Naptown, crab feast , First in Class, the new events that Pietramala is running and yes, there will be enough talent at Pinnacle that coaches will show up. The list goes on and on.....[/quote]

Add in the new Nike event too. But to be fair, not playing the big clubs from the NE isn't the best look. Prospect/Showcase style events are one thing; but consistently playing the best teams on the summer circuit does count for something. [/quote]

Ok Madlax Dad.[/quote]

That's original...well done. You nailed it...or are you just mad that ML paid the money that DCE wouldn't, now has the DC area membership for NLF and DCE is left scrambling to put together a Summer program that has a little teeth while trying to remain relevant as NL, ML, VLC all have evolved and are running circles around the club that blew the chance to build something great?[/quote]

So NL and VLC are in NLF?  Not.

What you are trying to do Madlax Dad/coach/owner is make DCE look bad so less kids turnout at DCE 2026 tryouts this summer.

That is why you are posting on the Black Ops forum.  It won’t work. That is because DCE 2026 will have two things you can’t replicate. Bobby Horsey as the head coach all the way through the recruiting cycle and Wayne Olan as the recruiting coordinator.

That is more than enough to get talented kids noticed.

There are certain families like mine that will never be involved with Madlax.  I would take my kid to Baltimore if I have to.

VLC via Crabs is in the NLF and plays in the events and VLC kids do the NLF showcases[/quote]

Great. Then you never need to move to Madlax.[/quote]

Nope.  Won’t ever have to move to MadLax. But let’s all admire DCE26 parent here...has the coach for the next 3 years locked up with no possible chance of anything changing and recruiting coordinator already set for that Summer before Junior year. He or she will even drive to Baltimore to make it right for the little guy...such commitment.

Guess he knows before the rest of us that his/her kid will be worthy of getting recruited?? Must be a special talent to know this in 7th grade. Heck, I’m hopeful my kid still likes the sport in 10th grade.  Has to be a first time parent...Bless you...[/quote]

If you already know your son will fizzle out then why bother?  I’m sure you can both find other things to do on weekends.[/quote]
