I guess VLC 2020 can give clubs a good game but until they can win, they're a B club.


The VLC 2020 has very good talent and is much improved. But you miss the point. You can't call a club a "B" club based on one particular team (though you obviously only are familiar with one particular grade).

To look at a club, you have to look at multiple teams they field. Though tournament wins is one thing you can cite, a better barometer would be:

how well do they fare placing kids in college?
are their players impact players in HS?
do they play in high quality tournaments and events
do they have strong coaching?

In the DMV, BW, Madlax and VLC are in the top tier. All the rest are below them.
