Kids who don’t get much playing time will always look around. Nothing new.
Just look at the Nike roster and you will have your answer. Lots of players from NL and DCE.

What tryouts. Most only started late this week and really starting next week.
Now saying that there have been rumors some ML kids will be showing up at some tryouts and they are unexpected.

How did the Nike Nationals DMV team do, and can someone who played report on whether it was a good experience? wondering if the earlier reports that Madlax hijacked the team with its own players proved to be true.

how many different tryouts did you check out to reach that conclusion? and, are any teams holding tryouts this early? you sound like a troll, with a foul mouth, stirring the pot.
That said, MadLax is a revolving door so there is nothing newsworthy about players coming and going every season.

The talent is there and they should be hard-wired into the top public and private VA high school programs, but they just aren't. At least at this age.
It doesn't stick because you need a full-time and well paid director with some business sense to run the operation. On top of that, you need a well organized board of directors who are overseeing and making sure the plan is being implemented and adjusted for obstacles. These things don't run themselves. Look at the success of Madlax, DCE/BLC and NL. These guys are running a business about lacrosse first. VLC is rudderless.

Nice coaches Cook was a tremendous player. D3 AA I believe.
This may get kids from Prince William County, but good luck getting kids from Fairfax County to join. Last year they could not get enough at tryouts with Coach Dico. I just think the 2028 is going to be the black eye for VLC.
You may be right but I hope you’re wrong. The loss of VLC CAVs and true Chesapeake has made the 28 class the most unstable and least happy classes that I’ve ever heard of. I think this is the best chance to right size all these teams
once again WHERE will they get the bodies to play? i’ve had a 28 playing since first grade and the 28s have always been the smallest pool in every single tournament play we have been in. only way to do it is to scrape thru extra few that’s riding the bench off each of the 28 teams out there. Look at what true loudoun just tried. miserable flop. it was a “28” team filled mostly with 29s.
As has been reported in this thread numerous times ML,DCE & NL are all oversubscribed. ML brought a team of 30+ to Naptown
nobody from Maryland is bringing their kid from any of those teams to Virginia to play for VLC.
Disagree. Once HS starts, clubs only practice on weekends and commute becomes less of an issue. MD families definitely willing to drive for good coaching, especially on weekends. The real question is can VLC attract enough core talent to become viable? NoVa 28 class doesn't seem as talented as previous classes in the region.
Tell me you’ve never crossed the American Legion bridge in the summer without telling me you’ve never crossed the American legion bridge in the summer.
As a MD family playing on a WINNING above mentioned team not a chance I’m headed over that bridge to join a defunct team with a club with a horrible reputation. why would any of us trade being in the best tournaments with great exposure to play for VLC. Any of the Virginia talent we have have already been burned by VLC. You gotta be a real dummy to head there, or desperate because you don’t get play time. However please do take our bench!
It is just going to be a new combo of the same kids that are floating around on the current NoVA teams.
I do not think VLC realizes how many people have been burned or do not want to be burned. If they cannot get a 2028 team together this year, then they should stop trying...
i don’t think they care. If they can get 15 kids to sign up then that’s money on their pocket. But to build a viable competitive team at this point is laughable.

There are a bunch of strong Virginia players on both DCE and NL, many of whom are entering PVI this fall. In a perfect world they would all play together on the VLC 2028 team. But at this point it’s going to be hard to get them to migrate, even with good coaches and a shorter commute.
