VLC was added to Black Ops name for WSYL because the team had to be affiliated with a club, Is it no longer needed? Will the same boys be playing? New boys? New club? Lots of questions.
This is basically the kickoff tournament for the DC Express 2026 team, but he is using the Black Ops name (and dropping VLC) because the name Black Ops carries more cache up north in Connecticut than "DC Express." Anywhere north of the DMV, DC Express is considered a temporary, minor league team to Long Island Express, and would not merit an invitation to the "Great 8." Without the players from other clubs, this team will have a hard time matching its WSYL success. More importantly, if your son wants to be on DC Express but he was not invited to play for "Black Ops" in this tournament, you should expect to be on the orange team in the fall, or looking for a new program.
So that answers many people's question - are they going to stay a team? ---- No.
From another board: "Yes, for the Greenwich tournament the Black Ops team is the BLC team (soon to be DC Express) using the Black Ops name. The holdbacks are back plus probably some new ones, and the World Series players from other clubs are gone."
