Just a troll. DC Express doesn't have a 2026 team. Bethesda Lacrosse Club: "After 7th grade, players will enter into our High School Program, DC Express." Any 2026 trying out is not trying out for DCE.

Hard to follow what you are saying, but BLC ends in 7th grade, and its teams transition to DCE in 8th grade. The 2026 class is wrapping up 7th grade right now, so that class will be trying out for DCE this coming August. The 2026 DCE team that will form in August will be loaded, because the incumbent 7th grade BLC team is already strong, plus players from MadLax, NextLevel, and VLC will be trying out. If your son is on the bottom half of the current BLC roster, you should be thinking ahead about options. Hope this helps.

I don’t see the mass exodus flocking to DCE as some here are predicting. Seems like wishful thinking by one or two people. Also is the idea that a bunch of highly skilled players show up and take spots of lower skilled kids? What happens when DCE takes a larger roster? I suspect less playing time for all…. At the end of day DCE 2026 will be same talent level as BLC 2026.
