How successful is your program? 

We consider ourselves to be one of the top regional clubs in Illinois. Our goal is to make have our athletes make their high school teams, a goal we always accomplish. Nearly all our players  make their high school teams with many of our 15s getting pulled up to JV and our 16s getting pulled up to Varsity, a consistent trend for us. We have had teams ranked in the National Top 50 before and are consistently competing with other clubs' National teams. Every season LCVC has been in existence we have won tournament championships. In addition, we have moved many players into the collegiate ranks and trained over 300 boys in Lake County.
