[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest, anybody who owns a for-profit youth sports business, by definition, is going to be slimy.  The owners of MadLax, Blackwolf and NextLevel may get slammed the most, but the same criticisms can be leveled at the owners of all the travel lacrosse programs in DC, Baltimore, etc.  You can't earn a six or seven figure income based on kids sports without manipulating players and families.  That is how the business works. If these owners were good people, they would be volunteering their time as rec coaches and find another way to earn a living.  Families should accept the reality of travel lacrosse, or stick to rec.  But debating which owner is worse than another based on anecdotal experience is a bit silly.[/quote]

It’s important for parents to note the way that other programs treat their players. No one said Next Level is perfect, but it is by far and away the best option of the 3 DC teams (Madlax, Express, Next Level). Express is collapsing at the younger years, and are coached by Dads. Madlax is coached by professionals, but they are jerks. Their owner sends nasty emails to players and their schools. His team was caught with hookers at the McLean School. He assaulted a kid at St. John’s...

Next Level has high quality teams, and unlike Express or Madlax, it does not have a any disturbing accusations.

What is wrong with making a profit from youth sports? People are providing a service, so they should be payed. It would be different if a team had 30 players on a team (Madlax). That’s just stealing. It’s not like the owners of Express, VLC or Next Level are making a fortune of youth sports. They just make enough to feed their families.[/quote]
