As a current Stars parent, i'd second the advice given above. Go to both tryouts and take everything in and weigh the pros/cons of each program. In the end, it's what's best for your daughter and what she will enjoy for the next 3 years (or more etc). Both programs are solid and are the top 2 programs in VA. |
| FYI, Pride will be moving out to Evergreen in June. WOG is hosting a masters men's league. |
| Pride is doing a lot more out west. Wondering if she is trying to capture an untapped market? |
The Dulles South rec program already has girls on Pride and Stars has a growing presence from Prince William County. Pride is already in the Loudon area as Dulles South is that county's best rec program. Paul VI is also in Loudon now. There is talent out there and growing. |
| Is the post about Pride moving to Evergreen in Loudon true? We are trying out this summer, but live in McLean, so would prefer not to travel to Loudon every week for practice. I know they are doing some practices now at Madeira and Marymount. Is there a chance that they may practice there in the fall? Any info would be much appreciated! |
You’d be better off asking the director if you want the facts. |
| Pride isn't moving to Evergreen. There's a lot of incorrect info on this board so I agree with the PP that you should reach out to the Director with any questions. |
If you seem to have all the correct info, why not post it here to clear up any misinformation? Seems like an easy answer here to where Pride plans to practice? |

Pride Loudon will be holding their June and July practices on Monday and Wednesday at Evergreen from 5:00 - 6:30. Thru the second week of July. I know this to be factual because it says so our team's TeamSnap page. Their usual home, Word of Grace, is hosting a men's lacrosse league. You are welcome to Google WOG and men's lax league. |
| Pride Loudon practices at different locations than Pride NoVA. The poster asked where the NoVa teams practice. |
I'm assuming that anyone playing for Pride Loudon is out of pure location convenience and/or not able to make the regular Pride Nova team? Does the Loudon team play in any of the "big" tourneys? |
Based on tournament placement, they are not on the same levels as pride NOVA. They are in a bracket with B teams for Live Love Lax and the NOVA teams are in higher brackets. |
| Pride Nova teams all practicing at Madeira all summer for sure. I’m sure things may change in the fall if the DC private schools relax on their CoVId restraints by then |
Looking at the Live love lax schedule, looks like Loudon starts at the 27 level and yes, is playing some of the lower B teams/bracket. |
