The best MD clubs at the HS level recruit who they want, any state, 5-10 new kids per year and rarely add more than a few kids they don't know, as a result of the tryouts.

If you believed the promise that paying 5+ years of elite youth lax dues would either develop your son's skill to keep his spot at the club in HS, or otherwise entitle him to a spot on that club's team in HS, you are mistaken. Now they'll probably not cut him, and take your money. But if there's a double holdbsck from MA with elite skills available for the next tourney, your son will absolutely sit. Time to mentally adjust to that reality.

No team adds 10 kids a year im high school.
