Anything interesting to note ?

I heard 148 girls for 44 openings

I heard a few girls were visiting the trainer or fell ill. That is unfortunate. So much riding on one day.

Not sure why they only do 1 day for 4 hours. Seems counter productive

The blue team will be half Stars and half Pride so not much riding there. Those girls could've not showed up and still would've made the roster. The orange team was what the tryout was for. Agree that it should've been spread out amongst a few days instead of just one. My older daughter played for Capital but it was nowhere this crazy or competitive as it is now. I think the 26 year may be the strongest in terms of how many talented girls there are in the DMV. 2024s, 2025s and 2027s are just different. Pockets of strong teams, but this year is LOADED. Haven't seen this much talent in awhile and and it is difficult for these girls to realize that if they don't make it, it doesn't mean they aren't a strong player. The DMV is too big to have one strong team. I blame the catiness of the middle school programs and the low skill development. All about the $$$$ Low turnover in Baltimore bc they stick together and are managed properly. It's a shame we can't have 2-3 ultra competitive teams in our area. Too much crazy and selfishness for that. Welcome to DC

Agreed 2026 is packed with talent. Heard a few girls that had left for Baltimore were back for Capital tryouts. Interesting to see if they will make the switch. I agree that this tryout was for the Orange team. The Orange team should be a great team considering the amount of talent at tryouts. The question will be will the girls who make Orange stay or go to Pride for that A team?

When do they announce who made the team and/or post rosters?

If they are serious about lacrosse they will go for Pride's A team. Even the Pride 25 A team that got decimated last year is much better than the CLC O 25 team. Who knows about the recruiting aspect? Pride has a new recruiting director, but time will tell if Pride does better on that front than previously.

Stay far away from pride.

[Anonymous]

25s are much weaker than 26s as a whole. Apples to oranges. Can't compare the years

[Anonymous]

So if you make the CLC orange team and I feel out on 13th how long do you have to accept? Pride tryouts not until 14th?

My 26 daughter said 180 girls. Ten girls or so who had to visit tent bc so hot. Wonder if they will still get a look.

How on earth can capital evaluate even for the orange team in 1 tryout? Both teams must be mostly preselected.

I would imagine with this many girls both Capital teams will fair well as well as the Pride team. Question is really on the Pride girls that make Capital Orange. What is the best move for them? Move to Capital Orange or stay with Pride?
