Why would they give up the membership to NLF? DCE (and BLC) had a good track record for being invited and showing up to those events.

They gave up their membership to NLF. Certain aged teams can be invited to certain events, but it is not 100%. That is why they are starting their own thing w Maddog, 2way, Prime Time, etc, Tough to be second over in trying to build something similar to NLF. NLF is a monster.

Maybe at U13 but the question was about U14 which only had the Crabs kid.


Yes, that is right. U13 level.

So the only kids involved on the U14 Black Ops team were from the three sponsoring clubs?

Absolutely. MadLax too. There is potential for movement among all four teams in both directions.

Do you really see anyone leaving DCE or NL for VLC?

sounds like a ton of talk of boys switching clubs within Black Ops last weekend in DE.

Lots of parents talking to other parents at 14u trying to make a pitch for boys to try out in the summer. With these boys moving to HS next year, bound to happen.

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


Then the VLC kids will stick with PVI? I thought a lot of VLC kids went to PVI at the prior location, perhaps not commuting from Loudon to their.

Perhaps the younger VLC kids will go to O'Connell if they aren't from out west.

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.

Like most generalizations, the final sentence of your post has some truth to it, but you would be surprised how many exceptions there are.

By definition “most” is more than 50%. Your use of the term “exceptions” indicates that less than 50% of these kids live outside of Loudoun and attend private schools. There is not some truth just truth. The random True poster can comment next
