You guys have no idea what you're talking about. This is an 8th grade team. Many of these kids will be playing for private schools in the fall.
Well with my older son who played Madlax. Most of the kids where already in Private middle schools. Most people who pay 30K for high school are the same people who pay 22k for k-8th grade. But if Madlax has gotten these Public school kids into Private high schools that is a gold star for the program.
I don't know about Madlax, but there are several VLC 2020's going to privates next year that attend public school this year. I think the parents recognize that the schedules for the privates are much more inline with the level of lacrosse the boys need to be playing to show they can compete. Even if you are at Robinson, Woodson or Chantilly, how many games do you have on the schedule that are really worth while? Not many and even those are questionable.
I agree with this post. I am 99% sure all D1 public school kids got there through there club or showcase team. I am sure they talked to his public school coach but I can almost guarantee he was scouted playing for his club team.
Of course the majority were scouted playing for their club team. There aren't enough coaches, assts. etc to visit high schools to watch kids. This isn't big time D1 sports (despite what many parents think it is ...) Just enrolling in a private means nothing if you never see the field and practice your celebration skits on the sidelines.
Top talent is obvious to college coaches, whether you're playing in public or private high school.
