Good post. I have gone through the process. Any advocate you have whether it is club coach, high school coach, etc. can only do so much. D1 Coaches need to have eyes on your son playing the summer before junior year. Period. The three things that matter above all else. 1 can your kid play. 2. is your kid healthy that summer. 3. Does your kid have a 3.5 or better gpa.

Still don't win tournaments. Bunch of selfish parents and players. No player development at all.

Yes Dave tell us more!!

I am sure there is some truth to coaches not wanting to deal with Cabell though that wouldn’t stop them if they wanted a player. Said player and family would have to deal with him though and that’s another story. That is 1000% not true about DCE. They have someone whose entire job is recruiting director - in addition to the coaches.

This move to NL is all about recruiting. If you talk to parents from the 3 main clubs, the organization and guidance that NL provides is head and shoulders above the others. It’s not even close. The parents of ML players know this. The college coaches don’t want to deal with Cabel. And DCE barely communicates with their boys. Some of their players haven’t even heard from the coaches. NL is better from a recruiting standpoint. And when you get into HS, everything is about recruiting. Pretty simple.

This happens every year. It's not misleading it is standard protocol. Next level won the all-star team sweepstakes this year. Remember guys and gals, these are just all-star teams. The boys are in HS now and if you are holding onto youth lax sales pitches you need to let it go. Be smarter.


What club team consolidated for the 27's?
