100%. This is competitive club lacrosse which is not based on friendships, and only gets worse. Just wait until Capital tryouts.

Has any team posted their rosters yet?

If you drop a friend because they go to another club that says more about you than it does about them.

Hero's is like 7th in rankings, not sure I'd call them dominant.

I wouldn't call a team with 16 losses dominant. They did get better with the moves they made during tryouts. It will be interesting to see if BLC and Coppermine were able to make additions to get better.

Coppermine kept all its good players. Made some solid pickups to round out the team.

Where did solid pickups come from?

To me, locally, Tier 1 is M&D and MDU, then gap, Tier 2 HG & BLC, then gap Tier 3 Coppermine & YJMA

This statement is ridiculous. Coppermine went 2-1 against HG, and 2-1 against BLC. And somehow there's a gap in talent the other way?

No one saying Coppermine isn’t a good team but yes, there’s a gap, which is why HG is ranked 7 and Coppermine 10, look at the common teams and scores. They aren’t in same tier as HG.

Watch Coppermine leapfrogs HG in the rankings next season.

Maybe, but if they really lost their best middie to M&D and one of their goalies somewhere else they may have a tough time

Rumor is Coppermine best player and BLC best player went to M&D and YJ best player went to HG. Is that true?

I wouldn’t call any of these the best player but common denominator is they all took the draw and felt they were too good for their team and friends.

100%. They were great and solid players. They were not the only ones to get offers to join those teams- just the only ones willing to leave their teammates and friends for it.

Assuming this is not a Coppermine parent as that team is far enough outside the DMV not to care about DCUM drama…is this a bitter BLC or YJMA parent??

I will guess YJ. They were a tight knit group *past tense*

My money’s on BLC. YJMA parents have no illusions there are just a few girls carrying the rest of the team.

To the ones coming on here to criticize a player for leaving a team—what is wrong with you??? Do you need to be told this is supposed to be competitive travel lacrosse? No one should have to tell you that players have the right to try out for other teams and move on. Stop being whiny babies about it because it just sounds like jealously that your kid didn’t get the same chance. Grow up.

Absolutely, they have a right to leave if that’s what’s best for them. But they should also keep in mind that the players they spent the last few years carpooling with, playing with, and generally sharing a huge experience with won’t have exactly the same friendship. That’s fine, just recognize you are stepping away from close relationships with the old team and hopefully to ones with the new team.

Omg, this isn't personal. It's club lacrosse.

We’re talking about a group activity for 12 year old girls and you’re saying it’s not personal? You may be positioning your kid for the best college recruiting experience but my daughter, who is not on a top team, is mostly doing this to spend time with her friends outside of school. If one of her friends left her team she would spend a lot less time with her, I’m sure she would still be kind but it’s not the same.

Your DD is doing it for the friendships but you can’t impose the same goals and priorities onto others. Of course the time they spend together will be different, but if she truly values the friendships, as you say, then the relationship should endure beyond the team. If the relationship is conditional to being on the same team, then it wasn’t based on anything real to begin with.
