A high school only girls lacrosse club out of N. Va servicing the DC area/Va. It’s the next logical step for many of the BLC girls since the BLC program ends after 8th grade. The club has typically had great success in recruiting.

Are BLC girls preferred by the program?

Yes and no. It is likely the case for the 2030 graduation year. They already started working with those girls.

Don't worry, you're going to find out. They're about to descend on the 2030 thread in full throat with a full court press. Have fun!

Capital has less recruiting success than M&D, Hero's or Skywalkers. You are better off going north if you can make one of the Baltimore teams.

I would say Capital tends to really get players into high academic schools.

Also at 2027, not close to talent level HG & M&D has yet managed to have nice recruiting class imo.

Capital is connected and that is what you want.

Capital definitely seems reliant on high academics, due I am sure to its players being uniquely able to 1) get in, and 2) pay the astronomical tuition. If you take away those schools, not sure you see any/many Top 25 schools. But still it does very well and that’s okay that that’s its niche and helps a good number of recruits land somewhere solid. Seems like it had a comparable recruiting outcome for its ‘27s as compared to Skywalkers, a similarly ranked team.

Good point. MDU and M&D are in a class of their own.

BLC, Heros Green, Coppermine and Skywalkers sit in the next tier. Anyone of these teams can beat each other on any given day.

Interesting take. I don’t see MDU as in the class of M&D at all. M&D is usually top 1-3 national clubs but isn’t MDU usually somewhere in the top 10 and rarely, if ever, top 3. Whereas you discount Hero’s but they are usually up there in the top 1-3 or worst case top 1-5 overall, right? Agree Coppermine and Skywalkers are not in the same league and are certainly top 20 clubs with individual teams on occasion that are in Top 1-3 (but never the club overall). BLC seems below all of those.

To me, M&D stands alone with 1-2 NY teams. Hero’s right after that. Then MDU. Then Coppermine/Skywalkers. Then way down BLC. In terms of Capital, maybe below Coppermine/Skywalkers? Or similar?

Since this is the 2030 thread, that comment was meant for 2030 teams. Not the overall club.

Exactly. MDU 2030s just won the NGLL national title last spring, and have been in top form this fall too.

Also, I think you need to look at the overall club rankings, you’re off by a bit. MDU ranked higher than CM and SW last year in overall club rankings.

Never mind, I misread the order that you had the clubs ranked. Thought it said CM and SW above MDU, clearly it doesn’t.

Top 25 in lacrosse? or Top 25 academics?

I see these committed list shows many at a lot of these schools! If you can match up a top 25 lacrosse club with top 25 acadmics you have hit the jackpot in my opinion… it helps our entire region that all these clubs have great recruiting and ALL do well so can compete and stand out from the New York York, New Jersey in Philly clubs! If capital is getting girls in top 25 lacrosse programs that are also are top 25 academic programs— if that’s what they’re relying on then sign us up!

New rankings are out.

Sky Walkers up to No. 4
