Capital Tryouts

By definition the Blue team would have better players than the Orange so of course they would push for the Blue player. If that is not accurate, then their player evaluations are a big issue.

I am not convinced the recruiting coordinator isn't spending equal time for both teams. If anything, she is probably spending more time on orange since most blue players are committed by mid to late October.

The difference is that Orange players either aren't targeting the right schools or impressing on the field. The only way I would blame Capital for anything is if they are telling Orange players that they have a legit chance at ACC/Big ten/Ivies or other top 25 schools. Not sure about the 23 class, but I know the challenge in the 22 class were several orange players were exclusively targeting schools where they have no chance.

Curious if there is a breakdown of how many girls from what clubs made the Capital Orange team? From what I have read Blue is filled with Pride and Stars but what about Orange?

Hard to say at this point since I know a majority of girls form Pride and Stars who made the team turned the spots down. (I only know two who accepted). I know they are deep in their waitlist.

Interesting. Turned the spots down and stayed at Pride or Stars? Where did they go?

Not surprising, why would you go to a team that has zero chance of moving up to blue or getting any attention for recruiting?

Aren’t most rosters locked by now? Clubs required deposits back in July.

Pride Black is certainly not Capital Blue, but at Pride those girls are treated like royalty vs CLC O which takes a back seat to Blue.

True. But lots of folks made deposits and went to other clubs. Across B teams and low level A teams, there will be roster movement through early September.

There are likely more committed that I know about. However, I can tell you very few from their core feeder programs took spots.

PP poster here. As many issues that I have with Cap Orange, both of these statement are false.

- Arguably the best player on Cap Blue 23, started out on Orange. She committed to Georgetown, her dream school, in October. generally 1 or 2 players are promoted/ demoted after 9th grade.
- Exposure isn't an issue for Cap Orange. Even though Pride black is normally a better team, go to the sidelines of a big tourney. Usually more coaches watching Cap Orange until Pride Black is playing top MD or LI team.

I can only speak for my DDs class. When comparing Pride Black to Capital Orange it was like comparing apples to oranges as they say. Pride Black consistently played in the top brackets of most tournaments, meaning they played the top MD and LI teams. Pride was consistently ranked in the top 10-20 clubs during her time with Pride and played a top 5 toughest schedule each year. Capital Orange played in the mid-tier brackets and was consistently ranked in the 70-80 range. Covid impacted college coaches attending tournaments, so I can’t comment on colleges on the sidelines other than to say it was much lighter for all clubs during this time. Once things eased up coaches were back on the sidelines. In my DDs particular year there was a wide difference between Pride Black and Capital Orange. Not sure about other classes.

Interesting. That is a lot of $$$ to leave on the table as aren’t the deposits $1k or above.

To your point, I think Pride have a massive challenge with their recruiting director. The fact they they are typically ranked 40-50 spots over Cap Orange and Cap Orange gets more visibility in front of coaches. That is a challenge.

Hunh. Wondering how this worked as Pride black has only existed since the ‘22 class. That team was not good and didn’t get recruited much less scouted by any great schools. Cap Orange ‘22 did okay, better than Pride Black. Cap Orange ‘23 did as well as Pride Black ‘23 if not better. Maybe your DD is a ‘24 but I’ve never seen a Pride hs team ranked that high.
