My guess is we don't get as many moves as last summer. I do expect the caliber of players making moves to be big. |

Power move by Capital to schedule their tryouts so early, it takes all of the other clubs out of contention unless a player already knows they will be offered a spot. I doubt any of the other clubs will move up their tryouts either. |

Where are the top 2030s going to HS in the DC area?
Heard Stone Ridge got a bunch... They don't rebuild, they reload. Good luck on playing time. |
When my 2027 started in 4th grade all the tryouts were in Aug, but each year one or two clubs try to leapfrog the others, now we are in mid June lol Going to be awkward for lame duck players in those summer tournaments |
Do most who are planning to try out go to the clinics to be seen in advance? |
M&D and HG don’t notify of whether someone has made the team until after all the July tournaments are done. That’s much easier to do when your tryouts are in July or August. Does Capital notify right away? |
Yes, your a fool to not go |
I would guess that most of the players who will eventually be selected have been attending clinics and going to Healthy Baller for some time in order to get noticed. |
Yes to the clinics, I like the idea that it gives players more than a short 90-120 minute tryout window to get evaluated. This is assuming that the people running the clinics are legitimately evaluators vs. a clinic for just getting in extra reps. It is called out earlier in the thread that the roster for the Blue Team is likely already penciled in for a majority of the team, the more I hear the more I believe that is true. Anyone else have an opinion on how worthwhile the clinics actually are? Any other opinions out there about the roster already being set? |
This is false |
It's not false, I've seen that play out multiple times. |
There are a select few from those teams that may be clued in in advance so that they still have time to find a landing place with another team, but I’ve seen many times where other players who are being cut are not aware until the evening of the last summer tournament play day |
I've heard that there is a a set number of spots that are dedicated to the academy players, but no guarantee of which team you would be on. |
Capital has tryouts and announces their blue & orange teams before summer tournaments are over? So girls on BLC, YJ DMV, M&D DC, MDU Bethesda, Stars, etc could all be committed to a new team but have to play out their summer with their current team? |
