I love the hypocrisy of this message board! Someone asks a question about Blackwolf and everyone jumps up and down -- why worry, why do you care, your son isn't good enough, get a life, etc. etc.

Everyone. Look in the damn mirror. You're on a lacrosse forum talking about your kid's travel lacrosse team. If you don't care and need to get a life, what the [lacrosse] are you doing here? If you're so confident in every decision you've ever made for your son, why are you here? If he is God's gift to the creators game, surely you've got better things to do then browse 86 pages of lacrosse banter?

To answer the original question about Blackwolf, it is indeed an invitation only club. That being said, there is nothing precluding you, your son or preferably your son's coach to reach out to coach Trig to be evaluated/recommended. Trig and staff don't know every damn kid in the DMV with potential; so to say you have to sit and wait on pins and needles for an invite is ludicrous. If you want to play for Blackwolf, reach out. Or better yet attend a camp/clinic. You'll get a flavor for coach Trig's coaching style, and in turn they will get to evaluate your son. Note -- his style isn't for everyone, and he won't apologize for it.

On the youth front, I suspect the thin talent pool is something that is stopping them from fielding a U15 and U13 team. There are a lot of competing clubs; and one can assume that they want to keep the "elite" status of Blackwolf intact. Fielding a medicore U13 or U15 team doesn't make sense from a business or brand POV.
