| Karma? Really? That’s rich coming from you. |
| Some really wacked out folks here. Sooooo glad we managed to avoid you all these years. |
| Capital - good or bad, Stars - good or bad, aggressive play - good or bad. This is a pretty varied thread...But going back to the original post, how did Panthera (Pride 2022) do this year? |
They had a winning first season overall. Did okay for a brand new team. Played B teams from top clubs like Skywalkers, Monsters, Hero's. Pretty similar record to the Capital B team for the same age group. |
| Stars/Capital can’t come close to the big Baltimore teams |
| Not true Capital beats both M&D and Sky Walkers all the time. In fact every year one of our teams beat the Maryland Clubs and we also lose to every year. Just depends on grade and talent level in given year. Building a track record that Stars and Capital hve is hard to do and it was done by the hrad work of the girls and Coaches. Don't be distracted by the negative comments look at the facts!! |

Brava, Ms. McMahon-Gates.
I have no affiliation with your club and I have never met you but I applaud your message and your willingness to beat the bullies at their game. It sounds like you have built a fine program, and I wish you and your program the best. |
| My daughter is graduating this year and will play at a D3 school. She loves the game and is excited that she'll be attending a great school, where she'll have the opportunity to play, as well as explore her academic and other interests. She has had this as her goal all along and never wanted D1. Perhaps that's why we've been able to avoid the craziness of club lax on display here. Or maybe we were just lucky and steered clear of the obsessive parents. Whatever the reason, I'm so grateful we didn't have this kind of experience. |
