To be fair, those names arent hard to confuse. If you said playing 1 year down, I wouldn't even question you.

What happened?

Not the person who originally wrote this, but Madlax “poached” some kids from NL a few years ago following the teams sharing some players for a WSYL team. But that’s not the reason you won’t likely see a combination. These clubs are business competitors and don’t often work together. Rarely play in tournaments the other is sponsoring. Because of the way BLC is run (decentralized collection of coaches other than DCE overlay) it isn’t a competitor for business in the same way ML and NL are. Neither side would see a benefit to helping the other. VLC doesn’t really compete with NL for players. Most VLC are VA based. NL mostly MD. Practices are too far for most people to consider both programs except maybe at high school level. So a VLC, NL, and BLC combo can fly, but unlikely you’ll see an NL and Ml combo.

He coaches 24 and 28 and has kids on those teams. 25-27 you probably don’t have that issue. Also Madlax is a much less good option if you are outside the top 16 or so players on that team. True everywhere but especially ML. Heard 27 has weird issues because of the BLC movement over the summer. But at least the top team is winning a lot of games so lots of talent there.

Does the ML owner have a 2026 son? I know that my son played against him while Maddux was coaching. Interesting that he is a 2024 and in HS while my true 2026 is in 7th grade.

In fact, I think he had 2 kids on that "2026" Madlax team

Twin sons are 24's at L and another son 28 at L as well.

I am guessing his 24's were playing down then. It was when my son was in 4th grade at the Polo fields. Sounds about right for him to do. Best part is that we beat them Saturday, and lost on Sunday when a bunch of different kids showed up.

Not a MadLax kook aid drinker, but I do call BS when I hear it - I highly doubt that the owner's 2024 sons have ever played down in 2026.

Look back at past teams that have entered the WSYL, some teams you never heard of. The tournament has set a precedent for creating teams for this event. If they wanted it different they would make the team requirements more stringent.
