Then the poor kids destined for the B team will be split into 2 B teams. More money for him, worse experience for those kids.

Almost as bad as how he charges kids to call college coaches.

You crack me up when you call the Blue teams a B team you are correct they are a second team but they are a mid level to high level A team and the top teams are a top level AA team. You can call us crazy and you can call him crazy that is true but to imply that the Madlax teams are not good is just wrong. Just a FYI everyone knows the prices we pay and the owner is nuts. And us and others are still coming. People like to win and be on good teams. You get what you pay for.


Who cares whether it's referred to as a B team or a single A. Everyone knows what we're talking about. Madlax has this stupid thing where they now call their best team "AAA" despite nobody else in the country doing that. It's just marketing ploy.

The point is they are doing these separate MD and VA tryouts just to make more money. It really isn't going to affect their best teams at all, except that the kids already on those teams now have to pay a tryout fee - another extra cost. For the kids on their "AA" or B teams, they now are on teams that are more diluted.

Nobody said the Madlax teams aren't good. Madlax gets a lot of the best kids early and he locks them up with that stupid monthly fee. But kids peel off after a few years because the parents are fed up with his BS and there are better options for recruiting. Winning games for 5th graders is what Madlax does best. Many people realize later that's not the point of playing club lacrosse.

Look at what happens to Madlax

2016 - best player and FOGO both left for the Crabs
2017 - best defenseman went to VLC
2018 - best defefenseman went to BW, best FOGO went to BW, one of the best attack went to VLC and one of their best middies went to another club
2019 - best FOGO went to Blackwolf
2020 - best player went to Crabs

See a pattern?
