I've got some time on my hands and wanted to put together a list of commits for the local teams (just numbers, not specifics). As someone done with the process, I figured this could be helpful for those looking at the long game. So far I have the following Clubs. Any I'm missing or you'd like to see included?
Capital MC Elite Next Level Pride Rebels YJ MidAtlantic HoCo Hero's M&D Sky Walkers Maryland United |

Girls or boys? Should be specific.
Also, to get the true data you will likely need to comb college rosters as not everything gets posted (since it is self reporting). |
| It would be useful for boys and girls. Inside Lacrosse is usually up to date, at least for boys. |
It won't be exact, but I'll compile from a couple sources. And while some of the clubs I listed have both girls and boys, I should have clarified, for girls. |
If you are including MD teams, I’d include Crush and Coppermine. Having said that, there is a huge disparity in quality of club, recruiting history and talent between the clubs you list. |
| Coppermine |
I know...a lot of people asking about clubs so want to put actual data out there for those looking to the future (and Coppermine is a good one to include, although their past recruiting numbers will be low - I suspect they will start improving, especially with the 28 class). A lot of clubs putting out empty promises trying to persuade girls (and parents) to jump ship. Just want to provide some data for those that are considering it. I've seen a good friend's kid jump to a new team and has regretted the decision (a 2026 so remains to be seen if it pays off, but I suspect not based on feedback). |
| I plan on starting doing 23s/24s/25s for now. Happy to add older if interested... |
I’d add there are also clubs who are and have been making false promises to keep girls from jumping ship. |
going back to 2020s, the girls who just graduated and also got screwed with COVID, tells a much better picture. Would love to see a column of where the girl played in MS (huge development years that leads to HS recruiting success), a column of HS, and what state. Personally would be helpful to just see the list focusing on DMV clubs. |
We'll see...just finished 2025 and took a lot longer than anticipated. Kind of tough to go back and figure out where girls played prior to HS. Not sure I can pull rosters from individual years. Some clubs don't even have current rosters posted (looking at you Capital). |
