I agree with your point in this current set up. But if the VA clubs could keep all the talent on Va teams and if the VA clubs would do whats best for the kids not themselves. They would push the best talent to one or two teams at each grade and then they could win lots of games in HOCO.

So what’s best for the kids is building a NOVA super team? How about you stop worrying about the wins and losses and just worry about whether junior is getting better.

Its not about just building a supper team. Its about playing on the level that fits each kid. Look at the basketball model when it comes to kids from one high school team playing on several different club summer programs.In the AAU format 5 star player or players play with a 5 star club team and all the way down to 1 Star kids. I would bet all the best high school teams have players who play with several club teams. As for lacrosse look at a school like Landon. take all the players on this team. I would guess they play for 5 if not 7 different club teams during the summer. The kids all spread out and find the best team that meets their kids skill level.
