They bought Cavalier because they wanted a B team cash cow.

Actually you are wrong. They bought them because cavalier has a Trey strong early youth program and VLC had none.

Or you could see it from another view and VLC did the standup thing for the Cavalier players and instead of sending them packing, they had more than one team per age group.
Everyone loves to sh*t on programs for being cash cows but they have no idea what it takes to run a program. Most of the leaders in lacrosse are doing it for reasons other than cash.

If you don’t know the guys running VLC, they didn’t want or need a cash cow. There were other reasons like the guy running Cavs had a kid playing for VLC. B teams end up being a PITA.

I do know them, and of course it’s a cash cow.

It is indeed a parent and not hard to guess who.

I suspect the complaining parent cares more about lacrosse than the kid.

Hilarious that for many years the party line about VLC was "they are a great organization that really cares about player development and that's why they only have one team per grade level unlike MadLax and other clubs that have B teams as a cash cow" and yet as soon as they could, VLC started running B teams as a cash cow.

So what do you think it says? That they’ve been through it and probably can give you the best assessment, rather than one based on a few months?

So true!
