ML DMV teams almost always collapse because the owner pays almost no attention to them. I know this thread only likes to focus on Elite, but a lot of kids just do it for fun or focus on other sports. There is more to the story of the ML 28 DMV imploding, however. Last summer, the 28 DMV team was in a championship B tournament and their goalie was invited to the Vail tournament as the back up goalie for the CAP team. All well and good, but the problem was that CM, who controls the 28 team, didn't tell the DMV parents or find a replacement....so they showed up to their tournament and had to forfeit. I'm not an ML parent (thank god), but several DMV parents told me they were very pissed off because they were trying to text him while he was in Vail (a tournament CM himself got kicked out of, mind you) to see what was going on and he didn't respond.

This is all factual. ML can try to spin it anyway they want, but I know 3 parents with kids on the old team.
