He usually doesnt coach in the summer.

To be fair CM did everything he could to improve the performance of their 2020 Capital team over the Spring season. They probably played more games than they would have in HoCo and against fairly good competition.

I would rather play the best competition(HOCO) instead of fairly good competition

...and teams that if they where from area would play Elite.

Let me guess...MadLax Georgia, MadLax Arkansas and MadLax Mississippi Delta.

"their", not "there".

Madlax got spanked by all the top 2020 teams this spring. Here are the losses from the MadLax 2020 site: HHH, LeadingEdge, NextLevel, West Coast Stars, Looneys. The only teams MadLax 2020 could beat are the lower tier HOCO teams LaxFactory, VLC, and Cavaliers.
MadLax will get a wake up call when they compete in the top tier of the summer tournaments.

Yeah but if your kiddo plays attack and the team never has possession, all they can do is evaluate how good they look in their new Madlax gear . . .

Have you seen BW 2019? Program is going downhill. They aren't successful poaching other clubs as they used to be ...

The summer camp really isn't very good IMO

Many college coaches earn more income from camps and prospect days than in salary now. It is the one thing keeping their compensation above a living wage. These same events allow these same coaches to compensate the low or no salaried assistants an extra amount to bring it up to a living wage. My issue is that the universities should be underwriting wages -- or just cutting varsity lacrosse down to club. When rugby has its "NCAA Championship" for full or the 7s, nearly every team in the tournament is club not funded varsity. If lacrosse wants to be a private enterprise it should do just that and be one. A college doesn't need to pay a coach $100K - $200K+ to then have a coach use the fields and other facilities, insurance and other resources of the university as a private venture to pimp families under the guise of "recruiting". Especially at a state university where the coaches' salaries are from the wallets of taxpayers. Your son has only a slightly better chance of winning the PowerBall in his lifetime than getting noticed out of nowhere at one of these camps.

Let's not forget 2021 - 1-3, did not make playoffs

Seems rather absurd to compare W-L records of club teams with high school age kids considering the variability in rosters week to week due to the kids having other commitments. I would be much more interested in which tournaments these teams played and extent of college coach attendance.

Madlax is probably doing the best for college coach attendance of ALL of the NOVA/DMV clubs. They may lose but the 2020 and older players being given the opportunity to play in front a bigger variety than the other two clubs often mentioned for comparison.

Ok lets please put VLC and all there teams records up. Also say what tournament you are pulling the stats from. When you bash Madlax records you must stat a better option.

There schedule is on there site feel free to look it up. Then feel free to come back in Aug. to show me I am wrong

VLC 2019 - 4-1
VLC 2020 - 5-0, won the championship
VLC 2021 - 4-1, lost the championship game

What tournament was this at sir. That is a major part of this list.
