Some strange decisions for sure

Also received a blue offer. Real head scratcher is an understatement. Know most of these players and something seems off.

Everyone has focused on club affiliation to make predictions on Blue make-up. However, HS affiliation may be playing a key role and leading to some of the head scratcher decisions. Look at who is coaching the Blue team, and you could easily see a big number of Saints girls selected. JB also seems to be throwing her weight around a bit with an increasing number of NCS girls selected. Would not be surprised to see some upcoming 29 Blue changes based on High School affiliation as well.

despite the perception the HS coach does not have much influence with these schools. Does not know newer, younger coaches.

who is coaching the blue team??

Kathy Jenkins

That’s a new rumor.

Facts.. KJ/BL coaching blue
Branden Cullinan and Abby Wok Orange

Wow! If you haven’t played for KJ before you’re in for a treat. Get mind over talent on speed dial

Will add, from a different age group. If you are not a Saint, good luck with playing time. Capital is moving away from equal playing time btw.

But only two saints girls made Blue 2030, right?
A bunch made Orange?

That’s not my understanding. Similar number of both.

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.

Interesting to hear what was "political?" Assuming big numbers of Saints girls selected for Blue given the coaching staff.

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

I agree. Stars 27s had a decent recruiting outcome and there were a few that were pulled up to Capital after 9th. Not sure if that will continue with KJ retired. But the new director seems to also have ties with Capital as well. And the end of the day, the biggest factor is getting all the best girls on one team and the parents working to get their girls visibility.

This is crazy talk. KJ hasn’t retired and she’s the current Stars 2030 coach until July. The new director thinks Stars kids should stay at Stars. His kid didn’t play for Cap.

So is it a large number of Saints girls on both Blue and Orange? It would be good to see the list of school affiliations for transparency sake

Largest contingency is from sssas and then a large mix of other schools. Majority of players are from Virginia schools.

How is KJ as the stars 2030 coach? Does she even go to the tournaments?
