There definitely are VLC kids at DC and MD private high schools.

That play on the Black Ops teams? That’s who the thread is about- kids from VLC who will move to NL and DCE after the WSYL.

How many non-NL and non-DCE are on the U14 team, since those are the boys moving into HS this fall and have most immediately on the line?

I think there are 2 or 3. 1 Top Caliber. 1 Mad Lax, I think, and 1 Baltimore Crab.

It is interesting that as soon as the qualifier ended, this thread about Black Ops has turned into a discussion of players from one or more of the three programs jumping to the other two. I wonder if all three teams would have been better off playing WSYL on their own, just adding a couple of ringers or 2027's to replace the holdbacks. At least two of the three programs would have been in the running to qualify, and the WSYL process would have made each of the three programs stronger and tighter in the long run. I don't say this often, but maybe MadLax did it right.

Telling 2026 parents about an amazing awesome 2022 team is like telling my sons about the Joe Montana 49ers teams of the 1980’s. They. Don’t. Care.

Seems like O'Connell should try and create a pipeline from VLC, especially with PVI moving out west.

O’Connell is a fine school. Parents looking for a good lacrosse program for their son are not going to this school for that reason. Most of the VLC 2025/26 kids live in Loudoun and most VLC kids go to public school

DCE22 > Any VLC ever

I don't follow the agenda of this particular troll, but he/she is really struggling to say something intelligent. If you think that anybody is leaving his current program to join True Virginia, why don't you go check out the recent DCUM thread about that program, and then report back on this thread.

Is it a delusional True parent, or a troll from another program? Why would VLC players join the 3rd best local True program?

I did and it is True

People say lots of things but if true can put together a team that wins significant games people will join.

Really? Seems ludicrous leaving a ranked program to go to some unknown program with unknown coaches. Good luck.

VLC players will also look at True based in NOVA and a national program with top level exposure
