Anything interesting seems to be on Instagram or on the players profile on the various recruiting sites (game footage). Not sure other folks knowing who is on which team is a priority for the clubs like it maybe it was years ago. Just one more thing to update.

Best way to see roster is to see who is listed as on team when registration happens.

Surprised Stars got 4

Did Stars add or lose any players? Pride?

Looks like Stars LB took 3 girls from Pride Red and 2/3 from Pride White. Maybe a yellow jacket too? Heard Pride Red added just one player.

Is that the 27 team? and looks like they still lost pretty badly.

Looks like the 27 and 28 Pride teams are going to be the leaders for sending players to Capital.

Hasn’t it generally been the case, especially in more recent years, where Pride players make up about half of the freshman Capital Blue teams. At the MS level Pride is developing the better players. What is surprising about this is these players leave for Capital. KM had a golden opportunity when almost the entire 2023 class opted to stay with Pride rather than half leave for Capital Blue. The problem is she provided little to no recruiting support. Feel terrible for the 2023 class and it clearly spooked others.

The reality is Capital needs Pride to produce competitive teams. Pride should be able to retain its own talent for its HS teams. This won’t happen until KM can prove she can consistently get girls recruited to good programs. If this happens Capital is in trouble, but this is a big if. KM is a smart business women, but why she hasn’t moved quickly to fix the recruiting hole brings up an interesting thought. Maybe it’s part of her business strategy. She makes a good living playing to the younger families and offering a home for HS players. Capital makes its living off of getting the better talent and getting them recruited early and to good programs. Both club directors are filling a need. Maybe, as strange as it sounds, the two clubs are in a way working together to keep the status quo. Both clubs get what they want in the end.

Next tryouts will be very interesting. With the talent at BLC, fewer Pride (and Stars) girls will likely make Cap Blue than in any recent years. The result should be a very strong Pride Black team, assuming most of the girls choose that over Cap Orange.

Won't BLC have a lot of their players go to Capital? I think Capital is likely going to be a top-5 team at 2027 assuming they get the top BLC, Pride kids and sprinkle in a few Stars, Metro, whatever.

Fall Fest schedule is out

Pride Red plays:

Coppermine (I expect a win, Coppermine lost a few players)
NEMS (they lost difference makers at middie, should be easy win)
Eagle Stix (very tough team and attacks, will be a loss)

A majority of starters will try out. A couple will likely go to MD clubs.

Didn't BLC 2027 lose a couple of key players to Stars this year?

Negative. Stars 27 is not good. BLC is the best in the DMV with Pride Red right behind them.

Not sure about "right" behind them, there's a substantial gap.

Substantial gap between BLC and Pride? Not so sure about that....

Stars 27, like the 26 Stars team, has KJ back coaching and the team is not the same as last year. I would not count them out yet.

The top players on all teams will go out for the MD clubs as well.
