Both teams were physical and them refs were horrible. Both teams had multiple yellow cards for minor contact.

Yes! Upside down and 2:30 in the morning! 2030 parents are the new 28s! |
YJ is not falling apart. We are signing up for the June YJ tryouts and asked for a call with the coaches. They are very very organized and knowledgeable. Practices will be held at Landon School next year, possibly some at Stone Ridge and Georgetown Prep. Their HS recruiting program is strong. They can get girls into any top showcase, but their philosophy is don’t get burnt out on them. They aren’t needed for recruitment. Recruitment is an Individual thing and isn’t based on the teams overall ranking. They don’t care about rankings. Everyone will get recruited. But they said next year’s roster may look very different from the current roster. |
Can you send a link showing the results of their strong recruiting results? |
| I hope YJ stays together in the interest of having multiple teams that are competitive. Guess we will see at cap tryouts based on attendance |
Which means the current team is falling apart and the majority will leave for Capital. |
You are wrong about about basically everything in this post. |
| Agree with the PP. YJ has great recruiting. The real issue is that parents in the dmv all think their girls can go D1 Ivy or top 10. Athletic talent doesn’t always match up with academic dreams. And sometimes both don’t match up with reality. DMV parents have a hard time recognizing this. |
| It would be better for everyone if we had a few good teams in this area for high school so I hope YJ, MDDC, and others stay competitive. It seems everyone is trying out for Capital, with dozens of girls expecting a spot there will be a lot of disappointment and movement between teams this summer. And let’s remember that many of these girls will play together on school teams so hopefully we can keep the negativity around club placement to a minimum as the teams shake out over the summer. |
| Not everyone is trying out for Capital. I’ve heard that it’s just a lot of great players who all do their own recruiting and the coaches are meh. |
| Prediction for today: Hero's over M&D 8-7 |
If YJ has great recruiting, then the 2027 YJMA class must have killed it. Right? |
Doubtful anyone on that team was trying to play in college at a high level. Last year YJMA had the #1 player in state and she is at JMU. Recruiting probably won’t be noticeable until the 2030s and 2031s hit recruiting age. |
| Mnd over heros 5-4 |
Congratulations, you can see the future. The final score was indeed 5-4. Go play the lotto. Awesome win by M&D. |
