Pride needs to die already.

This thread needs to die. Take it to the “Pride next year” thread. Surely after 18 pages, enough information has been shared on this topic.

Yes. Especially on orange. Expect some slight shifting between the top half of orange/bottom of blue and then the bottom of orange and other clubs.

. BLC, remember they have a partnership. Stars will still send their best players to Capital.

I think people are assuming Pride is going somewhere because the owner has moved. But Pride does a really effective job of recruiting the youngest girls out to their camps, clinics, developmental summer teams, etc. And they make it fun, with youthful coaches. The young girls gey excited to be part of the organization. It's quite a business tactic. Pride is not going anywhere as long as that system in place. Around NOVA, most of the young girls have Pride as their first choice club, because they are already familiar with the team. Sorry to those wishing that weren't the case.

Please be correct. It was painful to watch some of the play this weekend. I understand the politics of it all, but you diminish the value of the experience when favors are handed out.

PP - When you say it was painful are you referring to blue or orange?

That wouldn’t work very well at the 2028 level, would it.

The 2029 and 2020 capital orange team had 1 each recruited to play at Harvard. There are more examples it’s not super common but it happens.

The younger squads are not getting the development you think they are getting. I know several unhappy parents of Pride players. How much fun is it to lose all the time?!? Pride is not the first choice club.
