Just like VLC and 3D, they will sputter and fail.


3d is a disaster, but don't connect VLC to them. VLC doesn't have strong results with youth, but their HS program is the same level as Bw and Madlax. All 3 have comparable college recruiting results and they share the best HS teams, depending on the grade.

Cb will hurt madlax, but how much is tbd. A lot of Catholic families want nothing to do with the madlax owner which has helped the NL rise. Madlax reach continues to shrink.

When you talk about Madlax shrinking you really mean they are losing kids from the 2nd team not the Capital teams. I think the Capital teams are losing some kids for sure but its because there is just more clubs. But to imply the Capital teams are getting worse is not correct. The second teams are at a let them die and move on level for sure. Madlax will have to change something to keep the second teams around much longer. My helpful hint would be for them to charge a lesser fee and lower cost overall to play for the second team. This will keep a feeder team for the Cap team but let the parents on the second team live better paying less working for a spot on the Cap. team.
