How do people not know that rosters change significantly after 7th and 8th grade years? There’s normally a lot of movement between most teams at this age.

Not clear if it’s true but it should not come as a surprise. A logical person would rather play for heroes, MnD or MDU now than wait for Capital.

Next year will be even worse as good players on mediocre teams try to make better teams. Why would anyone wait until next year to try out for a better team anyway? There’d be more competition.

I definitely understand why players on BLC will leave this summer for teams that go through high school rather than waiting to be in limbo next summer while they don’t necessary have great choices and their team ends.

Agreed. The state of Capital has to have players in general recalibrating their original gameplan.

BLC coaches probably thought their lineup was set a few weeks ago. This is going to be a wild couple of weeks.

No clue what’s happening but it will definitely be interesting. I believe Heroes tryouts were yesterday. Not sure on MnD or MDU.

I know BLC was recruiting players to the team so they must have expected some roster changes.

Have all the hero’s invites gone out?

Heroes roster should be settled by Monday from what I’ve heard from other heroes parents.

Am I missing something? What is going on with Capital?

In general DC area is losing players to Baltimore clubs in the years prior to
Capital tryouts. The DC area 2029 class talent is concentrated at MnD DC. If that talented 29 MnD DC class doesn’t move to Capital, Capital runs the risk of having 3 straight years of underperforming relative to the pre 2027 classes.

I don’t think this is accurate. There are enough good teams in the area to field a competitive Capital team. BLC is 23rd, Stars is 31st, 3d VA is 42nd, and Cavlax is 52nd. Between those teams they should be able to pull enough talent to field a competitive team.

I know that almost all of the tryouts for DMV Teams have passed.

Does anyone know of any 2030 teams that are planning to have supplemental tryouts later in the summer?

[Anonymous]

Some teams are still having tryouts this week. M&D, Hoco, and Coppermine West. Possibly more

Capital 25 was an exceptional team, but the outlier not the norm. 26 finished 14 and if you go back and look at 24,23,22 you’ll see teams ranked in the 14-21 range. Capital 27 and 28 are only slightly underperforming the historical norm.
