They prioritize winning at every level. It is not 50/50, not by a country mile

My kid plays for m&d, it is 50/50.

What age group?

One of the HS teams. The second the 8th grade season is over it flips to 50/50.

Definitely not true. They play to win.

You’re trying to tell people who actually have kids on HS age teams?

How do you know? Do tell.

It is cope. And they know it. They just want to blast it on DCUM because they have an audience. The funny thing is, half of them, their s
daughters are in the bottom 50%. They just don't know it.

You’re wild. D1 commit. Was one of the ones doing the playing. Why are you dying on this hill?

Have two playing. It's 50/50 and that is what college coaches expect it to be.

My daughter played on M&D Black and it was not even playing time. She was not one of the stars on the team. Her playing time, and her recruiting result, suffered because of it.

WTF are you talking about? What does D1 commit have to do with anything? First, it wasn't you. Also, what does that have to do with another team's playing time? They asked you how you know another team's playing time. Please describe it. In detail. Or shut up.

What team is the favorite to be the local place for those that didn’t make Capital?

[Anonymous]

Did any player from Pride make it on Capital? I haven’t heard of any. Definitely some Blc, stars and YJ. So does Pride stay at Pride?

Heros and M&D top teams don't do equal even if there's no playoff or champion. They both say they do. They both don't.

Weird, my kid’s m&d team does….and so does every other high school m&d team I know. Do you have some special insight that you can share?

No special insight except my kid playing on one of those teams and it’s maybe 75-25 but some girls play essentially the whole game.

I’m not salty I’m just saying the reality.

What age group? And this was in showcase tournaments?

Task person here again. What’s the fallout like? Looks like DMV and MDDC are toast. So what’s left? Need intel on Pride, Stars and YJ VA

Pride has had one solid HS class, 2023, in its history and that group made a conscious decision to stay together with several being PoY in the DMV. They were a highly ranked team playing one of the hardest schedules in the country. Pride hasn’t come close to this level again since the 2023s openly shared feedback on Pride’s recruiting services and help, which was zero. Those players did the work themselves and landed at some top D1 programs like Army, Richmond and USF. Others committed to ASU, Lehigh and Middlebury, which is the D3 national champ. Pride didn’t care about recruiting then and doesn’t seem to now.

To get recruited, it’s as much about club reputation and connections. This is why Capital has been so successful. They’ve built the infrastructure already and it’s hard to replicate that. Talent is only one component which explains why girls that play for Capital that are slightly above average end up at surprisingly decent schools.

If I did not make capital, I would go to Stars or Cavlax.

Moco players are increasingly playing for Baltimore teams. My perception is that VA players tend to stay around DC. Are SSSAS girls becoming a larger part of the Capital Roster as Md players go to Baltimore?

BLC ending in 8th grade potentially accelerates the move for Md players to Baltimore.

This area should have two Elite clubs but only has one.

Really disappointing this is the status quo.

Can you share evidence that shows an increasing number of MoCo players are going to Baltimore? I don't think that's happening but am genuinely curious what the data shows.

I don't believe there has been a comprehensive analysis. However, someone on a different page looked at the 28 and 29 Capital Blue rosters. Only 1 SR girl and 0 GC girls. GC and SR are the best teams in Montgomery county every year. Their best players are going elsewhere as of late. It will be interesting to see the Cap Blue 2030 roster to see the breakdown of schools and geography.

I’ve also read on other pages that those are down years from a broader DC talent standpoint. Could that be the reason a few MoCO players fled to MD?

A few? lol

Yes - prior poster said six players. That’s a few

There are enough strong players from YJ DMV and MDDC left that they could get together and form a pretty strong team, almost doesn't matter which club they join but they need to get organized soon before more July tryouts happen. Capital didn't necessarily pick the top players, it was pretty political.
