Capital Tryouts

[Anonymous]

If my daughter tries out for Capital, will her current club find out? If so, how would they?

Who cares? It’s a free market. You can play for whomever you want to. You don’t owe a club anything. You pay them, that’s the trade-off.

You mean if she tries out and doesn't make it? Because if she makes it they will obviously find out when you leave. You aren't playing for 2 clubs.

Don't think twice about any of it. You don't owe the old club anything and you are leaving for a reason. The poorly run clubs will find out the hard way when you don't come back.

Yes - if she tries out and doesn’t make it.

Of course. 150 players will be there. You will probably see other teammates there. Lol

Make sure she has a realistic chance of making it. Has she had any exposure to Capital already? Gone to the pre tryout clinics? If you answer no to both, your DD has a slim to none chance. Coming from DDs that have been through this and got guided by the process.

Capital has a B team that is good too. If you don’t make A, it’s not a bad option.

The difference is that Capital Orange doesn’t get recruited like Capital Blue. So while they may be competitive and the girls have a good time, it’s more for the love of the game than for the opportunity to play in college.

Not true at all. Capital gets both teams recruited. Obviously the better players can go to more competitive schools. Capital is by far the best option if your DD has the skills to make the team.

If you’re concerned see about a pre-read or early tryout. Most clubs try to accommodate as they understand. Hopefully no player or parent would share tryout information with the original club but sadly I’m sure it happens. But your child should tryout where there’s the potential best fit.

This goes for every club. Coaches talk to each other and girls certainly talk. If a girl tries out anywhere outside of her club, everyone will know. Obviously Capital is a different situation than other clubs because there are no teams until HS, but coaches will find out.

If you are a top player it is almost assumed that you will try out for CLC. If you make blue then you go CLC, if you make Orange you have a decision. Do you stick with a Pride or MCE "A" team or play for a CLC "B" team? Last year several girls turned down CLC O and went back to their A teams.

Many (but not all) Capital O parents would likely disagree with this assessment.

Sometimes they make you commit to Capital then let you know later if Orange or Blue making it too late to secure spot on the other team like VA Metro. This is a bad practice as it forces players to decide without having all the information. Capital B is not the same as A. It can really hurt a player to be on a clubs B team v. a lesser club A team. Colleges know it is a B team and the D1 programs want A team players or top players. If on the border much better to stay on your clubs A team. Capital B team parents are always unhappy and have run off multiple coaches.
