Let me clarify for you blind Madlax supporters (and most likely Cabell who spreads FUD on this message board). MadLax is purely a profit center with no focus on player development or individual skills and technique. The amazing players that have played there (or play there) were already incredibly skilled prior to their involvement at Madlax.

The focus of MadLax is purely on winning meaningless club/tourney championships with practices solely focused on team based concepts, irrespective of teaching the proper fundamentals or individual skill techniques. For instance, the proper way to execute a simple ground ball or roll dodge utilizing the proper footwork is never taught, nor are practices geared towards spending at least 50% on individual skills and technique like college practices. The end result is that kids play countless numbers of games, further engraining and reinforcing bad/poor habits. But that doesn’t matter to MadLax as long as they continue to fill their coffers with 2 teams per grad class.

Make no mistake, that’s the real reason kids leave for other clubs. It’s a sham and rip off especially when you consider that parents pay 2x the fees at Madlax for an inferior teaching/playing experience and that doesn’t even take into account the fact that they take 26-30 kids on each team.

Lacrosse consumers have become more educated and that’s why many of the best kids in the DMV are on longer affialiated with Madlax.
