meh, it's over 4 years. if you want to see passion watch the parent sidelines of a dce game - those kids can play

the fact that there is 87 pages of people talking about VLC indicates there is a level of passion about this club.

younger teams (25s&27s) have culture issues from absentee coaching encouraging the right things, correcting the wrong things and getting the kids to play as a team. Everyone can see it in practice and games. the college players helping out in the summer haven't forgot this from their past vlc days and do this so its appreciated even if was late in the year.

Why so many new coaches at VLC? I thought the culture is the best in the region.

I have no idea whether players can make the jump from DCE Orange to Black. Is it like MadLax, where you get stuck on DMV and moving up to Caps is basically impossible?

Very little movement from orange to black. Black generally only pulls in new talent from other clubs.

Exactly, why would they move kids if the parent is willing to pay for the B team? Once you take that B offer they know they have you.

Getting back to VLC the 2023 boys balled today.

Create a new thread called 2025. This has really moved away from anything about VLC lacrosse.

Anyone know anything about the coach of the new VLC 28 team?

Why not stay at DCE if they’re top class middies?

With our VLC boys out here too, Looks like your goalie ain’t staying at VLC. He looks pretty good.

There were only two DCE helmet at NL last night. Only two open spots, so a money grad for NL either way, send your kids packing back home

Curious how you came up with just two open spots?

Some 8th graders have already started practicing and playing with their private high school.

They got the helmet last August, which was when they were actually supposed to enter 9th grade.
