I do love to see how the Madlax haters for life like to bash Madlax. One post is they are a dying club the next is they have to many players wanting to play on the team. Even if his sons are the worst 2 of the starting 10 players the other 8 starters will be loving the perks of playing with this 2024 team. Do you think this team will ever not be at the best of the best tournaments? Do you think the college coaches at these tournaments care if the players they want come in 1st or 8th? I have watched youth lacrosse at the elite level for 15 years and every top team has a player or two that plays that is not as good as the rest. All these teams can not keep 15 studs or more happy they always want more love and leave to go find a team that says little johnny is the best around and I will get him seen. To the parents of the kids quitting I hope you like VLC its a good club hope their team is not full also.

There's no reason to roster 27-28 kids on a 6th, 7th, or 8th grade club team. It would be one thing if the focus was on individual skills and technique and the coaching or instruction was outstanding for that technique, however Madlax has proven over the years they're not about that.
Instead MadLax is exclusively focused on team concepts at the expense of teaching the kids invaluable fundamentals, skills, and the proper way to play the game. The greatest coaches in the game in D1 like Danowski, Tierney, and Tillman all coach and spend up to 60% of their practices on the fundamentals and individual skills.
That lack of focus on fundamentals and technique is only exasperated by the fact that 12 of those 28 kids on the roster barely play in games or receive meaningful reps in practice.
But what good is it anyways if what you're practicing isn't fundamentally correct?
