This thread is bonkers. I have had girls in lax for 10+ years through rec, school and club. I've personally, emotionally and financially invested A LOT and I care A LOT but I've never seen anything like you people. At one point on this thread I think I knew who most of the posters were but I think there are more on here now and a lot seem to have an axe to grind. There appear to be Capital parents who are dissatisfied and some other parents whose kids didn't make Capital and they are disgruntled. I think you need to let it go. There is always going to be drama and kids who should have made the team but didn't due to politics or whatever. Believe me, I understand first hand the frustrations. For those with kids on other teams, you have to move on. Girls get recruited from all clubs. Focus your attention on doing what is needed to get your daughter recruited and let go of drama of the past tryouts. Or here's another thought....playing lax is college isn't for everyone and it isn't necessarily fun. A lot of times it downright sucks. Girls can also just go to college and have an amazing time without having lax as their full-time job which ends in no money.

I think it’s time for this post copied below!⬇️
I think we have a bunch of high schoolers or immature parents posting about 16 yo decisions on where to play lax. If you don’t have anything nice to say or congratulatory keep it to yourself. Please do not feed the trolls or get baited into ridiculous conversations. The majority are so happy for all these girls and all these clubs! The success of all these players helps our entire DMV area stay on the radar of coaches all across the country!




I copied this from the 2026 commitment post. It is a very healthy approach.

Only a measly 3% of high school lacrosse players actually make it to play Division 1 in college. Seriously, let that sink in before you start tearing apart a family's choice or a player's decision to attend a particular school!


“You have to remember that everyone is coming from a different spot. Some folks will use the recruiting process to get into the best academic school possible, regardless of the money involved. For others, the main focus is lowering the cost of college as much as possible. Some families are focused on playing for the "best" lacrosse program they can play for. All these decisions are fine as long as they meet the family's needs.
Trying to put your priorities onto other families' choices just doesn't make sense since everyone is coming from a slightly different place.”.

There appear to be similarities between some of the recent anti-Cap posts and discussions on the 2029 forum from previous months. At that time, some M&D DC 2029 parents and supporters expressed concerns about players moving to Capital and raised criticisms of Capital. One argument focused on the Cap Blue 2027 and 2028 teams' rankings in the 20s, suggesting this would negatively impact recruiting and the program’s future. That effort to keep the M&D DC 2029 team together failed miserably, but they became pretty invested in the narrative, which has brought us all the way to this thread and now.

Some recent comments in this thread have revealed an elementary understanding of the recruiting process combined with strange comments about an outsized role in the recruiting process played by the SR head coach, leading me to think the loudest of the anti-Cap parents/supporters in this thread are the same M&D DC 2029 group from the 2029 thread. Anyway, the recently flurry of Capital commitments coming out has taken the wind out of their sails and they are tucking tail. Stay tuned for the next chapter in the 2028 forum over the next year.

The anti-Capital rhetoric precedes the 2029s. If you need evidence, just scroll through the 900 pages of the 2028 thread. There are people who don't like the club for a range of reasons. There are also people who think the club is good, but find it agitating when Capital crusaders insist on saying girls get recruited BECAUSE of the name. The reality is, the club has connections and a lot of experience with recruiting, so they're one of many good clubs to play for. But Capital or not, a 5 star recruit is going to get recruited to UVA (BTW congratulations) because they are that good. Etc.

The true test of whether Capital works miracles is whether they get the WHOLE team recruited to schools beyond what might be projected based on abilities. The first wave of girls tells you very little. If in a few months you can line the list of recruits up next to past teams who were much higher performing and there's marginal difference in the caliber of schools - then you've proven your point. But in the meantime, can we just celebrate the commitments?

Congrats to all the commits! For those still on the board keep grinding and keep your spirits up. When one door closes another opens.

This summarized my feelings exactly. Cap gets great players, great players get recruited. But there is nothing special about the Cap program other than location and lack of legit competition.
