There are enough strong VA players but the problem is the way Madlax runs its program. My son is a talented northern Va player who attended MDLX tryouts. He was offered a roster slot but they wouldn’t confirm what team he’d play on. Especially for a newcomer who wasn’t well know by the coaches, we didn’t want to accept if there was a chance he’d get put on the state team. So he accepted a slot on a competing club. I like the way MDLX keeps its players active with playing opportunities, but among other tweaks, it needs to rethink its tryout process to make their program more inviting for prospectives.
