Nice uniforms and cool tents! From a L.I. Parent. Dewlax teams seem to put a good product on the field and are competitive in my daughter's age groups.

I agree. They are in a great location able to pull players from several hotbeds.

Dewlax does not have the years of recruiting experience that the more established clubs have. They are doing great things but if your daughter wants to play in college, you have to take a leap of faith. Parents and players are very happy and loyal, with less backbiting of other clubs.

Dewlax is a newer program but girls lacrosse is different than the guys. As long as they go to the right tournaments which I know they do, the college coaches will see them play where if this was a boys team, I would say good luck on getting recruited by a d1 school because they are attending the invite-only events but like I said, girls and boys club lax is not the same. With that said, if you play for the Yellow Jackets, coaches will be more inclined to watch them over any other program but b/c the coaches all go to the same events, they will make their rounds to watch a large majority of teams in attendance.

Dewlax seems to draw the kids who can't make STEPS of BBL. They seem to be following the T3 route and opening programs everywhere in NJ. Not sure about the HS teams but I haven't seen them at any of the bigger tournaments.

That's certainly not accurate anymore, at least with respect to BBL.

I think Steps is at the top of the pecking order too but there is a lot of parity now. Tristate, Garden State Elite, SJ Select, BBL, T3, SJ Shamrocks, NJ Thunder, Dewlax & Celtics are probably the next in line in that order but all produce competitive teams.
Thoughts?

Look at the recruiting statistics.

not that it matters, but recruiting statistics only tell us where programs have been, not where they currently are... probably better to look at how these programs are doing at tournaments, where they are being flighted and how they are doing head to head...

T3 and Dewlax are both expanding the brand in NJ with multiple teams. North NJ is over saturated at this point.

Any thoughts on MadDog

Boys side has been a mess since Billy left. Girls look different today but might follow the same path as the boys. Buyer

Does anyone know if Tri-State and Mad Dog Lacrosse merge on the women's side?

Seems like a pretty unlikely union

Mad Dog poached Tri-States people and now they are leaving Mad Dog. Grass only green in CA!
