Not that I could see. Mostly returning DCE. Some Crabs helmets.


You were not looking close enough.


I asked my son who was actually in the tryout and he said it was mostly DCE helmets.

so does that mean DS should got to DCE? Will that team be upgraded with Black Ops kids from VLC or stay the same.


If you tried out for DCE and you have an invite then you should be talking to the head Coach about who is coming and who is not. Much better than posting on a forum where there is no good information to be gained.

If you're a responsible parent or a decent person, the answer is never, ever Mad Lax.

Agree with ML, DCE, NL, VLC significantly more talent and better coaching then the other clubs. TRW, Hardlax, TC have never beat the other teams.


At the 25 level, VLC has never beat TC. Would suggest that ML, DCE and NL are in one tier and then drop VLC and TC at the next with TRW, Hardlax at the lowest. But if you are seriously shopping clubs, why not try for one of the Baltimore or Philly clubs if its high school as there are limited practices and its all weekends at that stage. This way you'd have even broader horizons.

LOL angry VLC ‘25 mom inserts into another thread. The title was of the OP is 2026 not 2025 maybe bring your unhappy ‘25 to TC then
trw and tc were in Hoco 26 AAA finals so they are better than decent teams. vlc 26 has beaten hardlax by a lot but hasn't played against tc yet. all these teams are good options for 2026s.


All are good options, but they play at different levels. VLC 2026 actually did play Top Caliber in one tournament last summer, and it was a 9-1 game with VLC playing keep away for most of the second half to avoid running up the score. The game was not a good use of either team’s time. I do not recall VLC ever playing HardLax or TRW.

Hardlax 26 has never played VLC 26.

We’ve had friends who have played for them for years and sit the bench if Tommy from TX flies in. I also know of at lease 4 boys on the 2026 team who are 2025 hold backs.


ONLY two.. try again...


They are up to 4...
