VLC - Losses, very few gains already 2 defections to Hawks
Hawks - Gains from VLC, and possibly out of state or any UA call back
True Annapolis - Gains, they will add from other teams
91 - losses, coach rubs people the wrong way
FCA - Gains, need to build their offense, possible Looneys additions
Looneys - Non Existent
Predators - gains, players from Looneys
Next Level - Gains, players from various locations to try and build to match other age group success
Top Caliber - losses, trying to find better teams may go to VLC or Madlax
TRW - Losses, trying to find better teams, may go to VLC or Madlax
Zingos - need to lick wounds and add, but from where?
Sidewinders - some additions from cuts from true or hawks?
Roughriders - losses, scramble to find an actual team
Hoco - Additions from Zingos, RR Tm MD or anywhere


MadLax kids all over tryouts from other places and word is a few of them have already committed elsewhere. And there are some good players at those lower teams that could help some elite teams. Last weekend, Average joes competed well, and that was players from TopCaliber, Rough Riders, and TRW. Traditionally stronger programs like VLC, FCA, NL could improve a good bit with some of those kids as the better ones look for teams where they can get recruited in the next few years. Should be interesting to see how things shake out.
