[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had a player at both TM and WLC. We’ve invested a lot of time and money to both of these organizations over the years. Both of these organizations have been run into the ground and it’s really a shame. The kids are the ones to lose out.  There is simply no reason why the DMV can’t have better Tier 1 options. The reason the teams always suck is because anyone with talent feels compelled to leave the area to get better coaching and a better organizational structure ( our family included). It doesn’t have to be that way. It’s embarrassing.  [/quote]

It doesn't have to be that way is absolutely right. Just need leadership with will and vision. They absolutely can build something special here and there is far more talent here than there was 10 or 20 years ago. [/quote]

But it's also families driving crazy distances from this area to join other teams in PA, etc. because they think their kids are something special beyond what the DC area offers.  I would argue that most don't have the talent to warrant this.[/quote]

It is crazy. The kind of time and sacrifice that takes is impossible to justify even if your kid is THAT good. But to do that you have to really believe you are getting something better for your kid or else why would you do it. If WLC got its stuff together and moved to a great facility that didn't require people making the hellish drive to Rockville or all the way to Haymarket or Loudoun those kids all probably come back. Will you have a minority that still go to PA anyway? maybe but they'd be legit crazy and you can't fix crazy. [/quote]

Had WLC had its sh*t together this year several families who pulled their kids to go out of town (and yes some of them are crazy and would have left anyway just so they can say they “had” to) would have come back. But as expected the organization failed. [/quote]
