Let's be clear here. 3D 2022, Cavalier, or VLC would get (or have been) smashed by Madlax 2022 Capital. There is a vast difference in talent between these teams and 3D has never beaten the Madlax 2022 team either last summer or last spring when they actually played in the HOCO AA 2022 division. The difference in skill, athleticism, and lacrosse IQ was glaring.

Furthermore, the difference between the Elite division teams and the AA, A, or B teams in HOCO at the 2022 age group is not even comparable. If it was comparable, the kids on the teams from 3D, Cavalier, or VLC would play for MadLax because they know it's the best team and best competion in NOVa.

I think it's great there are multiple options for kids to play, but please don't get it twisted by thinking all of those clubs can compete at the highest level. If they could, they would play in the Elite division and they would play the AA brackets in the summer tournaments.
