Madlax has a few kids playing up (2025) and a few playing down (2027) that are 13 year olds that are now on the team. They added a couple kids outside the program to complete their roster. They are not carrying 25 but 23.
For the WSYL, the team will be VLC (operating under the disguise as black ops). VLC is an existing club.
Other teams outside the DC area are doing the same thing. If you were in Delaware these past two weeks, teams that are in the WSYL that played had a few kids with other team's helmets on the sidelines.
The club that will benefit from this combination is DC Express at the 2026 level (I think Next Level will be regretting this) as there are rumors that NL kids that made the Blackops think they are now all that and will try and move over to DC Express next year as they want to play in national tournaments like NAL (which NL cannot offer). They may also have a few kids from VLC do the same if the logistics make sense for the parents to drive. If DC Express gets the talent at the 2026 level, Blackops is done.
Looney's long pole so that's BLC, next level and VLC - that's 4 clubs
The roster is listed and most of us know these kids
