Capital Players in College

Anonymous
No question going to a great school to play lacrosse is a win win. But accuracy in bragging for Cap players on the field should also be accurate.

Capital does very little with respect to development unless you want to spend a fortune at Healthy Baller. The girls were good athletes and likely went to some of the better lacrosse high schools where they received above average guidance and training. Capital merely provides the opportunity to be seen by college coaches. Training and development are left up to the athlete.
It is what you do on your own time and your own training that always elevates a player’s game in any sport especially if trying to go D1.

I think the point was Capital really gives you next to nothing in terms of training and development, especially compared to other travel sports. It's 90% on the player to get better. My son plays travel soccer, and they train/practice as a team year round multiple times a week with great coaching. Capital looks nothing like this.

What is the price comparison between Capital and your travel soccer? Is the difference in practice/development reflected in the cost?

Capital = 4K
Soccer = 3500 +/-

The difference is soccer includes everything a player needs to excel. LOTS of practices and tournaments with solid coaches. The Capital base price gets you in the door but then you have to pay for actual targeted seasons. It’s borderline robbery. Get to Maryland if you can.
