Good job Sky Walkers. You got a lot better since last season. Fall is filled with over inflated rankings. This might be one of those cases.

I watched that skywalker team several times. They need more practice time together and need to clean up unforced mistakes. But they're definitely improved . #4 is probably not correct though.

I've been around lacrosse for three separate age groups. I can't speak to this 30 Skywalker team or the upcoming 30 Capital Team but I can tell you that every coach imaginable has been on Skywalker and Capital 2028's sidelines at the first two tournaments. I suspect this weekend will be more. They've also been at M&D and Heros but for the posters on here saying no one cares about skywalkers anymore or that capital doesn't get girls recruited you're wrong.

Seems like it had a comparable recruiting outcome for its ‘27s as compared to Skywalkers, a similarly ranked team.

Top 25 in lacrosse? or Top 25 academics?

I meant in lacrosse. I think there are 4-5 Ivies in the Top 25 currently, so that’s positive. Reality is that it’s just a tiny, tiny percentage of lacrosse players who can get in and whose parents can pay the tuition (and they are good enough for the teams that are pretty competitive). And Capital seems to have those kids.

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.

Oh oops! Thanks for clarifying. I get it now.

Aggressive goals to play at a top 25 from any club. Good Luck!

I see the Capital coaches are posting aggressively on this thread

No just a parent with 3 girls that play lacrosse right now. Capital coaches would never get on this board.

For all our clubs the past results speak for themselves Cap, M&D, SkyWalk, Heroes... You can't go wrong with any of these clubs for recruiting especially if they all stay in the top 30!

Spooky nook indoor schedules are up

It seems the new norm is not to update team rosters online. M&D is the only club that has done so. Give credit to them for doing so.
