Having a bunch of loyal and enthusiastic supporters is one of the benefits of being an established club vs. a startup.

Soon one of you will ask why all the Capital hate? If it hasn't happened already.

You don't have a 2029 team. Can't you at least wait until the fall season is over and give the 29 parents a break?

They are really incredible. They exhausted the 28s, and they still ran to Maryland. It'll be funny to watch them squirm for the next 9-10 months though.

There were good 2028 players who left for MD teams before middle school. For the recent high school tryouts, ALL of the best remaining players tried out for Capital and every one who made the top team accepted the offer.

The 2028 Blue team surprisingly tied Hero's yesterday, so probably slightly less squirming today. Play day games mean nothing and Capital will still likely struggle this year, but there definitely seems to be potential to compete with top teams.

Nothing to be surprised about- every year Cap Blue teams tie or beat a heroes green team. It happened with the 24, 25s and the 26s... Both clubs are great and have wonderful families and players on them. Capital will be a top 10 team. Capital uses the equal playtime model, so that can reduce the ranking a bit where these other teams play the top players more so they will win more games, but at the end of the day college coaches are not really focusing on the ranking as much as how the team plays together and how the particular player that they're interested in recruiting plays.

The “we play everyone on the roster” excuse is lame. So does m&d and heros in HS, it is part of their sales pitch regarding college recruiting.

Equal playtime is very different than playing everyone some of the time. Capital's model is as close to splitting time as possible, which mans the best players sit roughly half the time. Hero's and M&D may try to give game opportunities to the whole team, but I am not aware they are as rigid as Capital on splitting time - especially with their stars. Right or wrong, Capital is more focused on recruiting than winning games, whereas other teams may place greater emphasis on winning.

Lol, this is just cope bc capital isn’t on the same level as m&d and heros.

The game in HS is recruiting and the smart local players know that Capital is second to none in this area. I hate to do this because there is an entire thread on the topic, but here is the tracker of the 2026 recruits. I think you are right - Capital does seem to be on a different level.

Warning: You are about to enter an alternate universe where playing college lacrosse at Harvard is not that impressive because it expensive (ie, only for rich people), and also not a top lacrosse program. Have fun!

“Playing lacrosse” at Harvard is not the point; getting the Harvard degree is.

I guarantee there are current ‘29 M&D DC parents on here who are making pro Capital posts because they strongly suspect that is where their girls are playing next year. It’s not all Cap propagandists.

I'm thinking it is 2029 parents. We are now within the 9-month window before tryouts and the gloves are coming off. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Right.
Who I responded to : "loyal supporters".

They are the same takes, and the same words, that have permeated every thread for several years. As was said, they are locusts.

Yeah, they just got done playing their first games of the fall. What they wanted to do was come on and make dozens of posts about how great Capital is on Monday instead.

Believe me as someone who has had three girls go through this it is definitely on all the top players’ (parents) minds. When you see the name of the thread, you click on it.

Before middle school would be 4th and 5th grade, so no-- that is not when they all left. You got several 2028 threads cancelled and are now plowing on almost 400 pages of nutzo in a year. Come on back when we see all the fall results. DC 29s and Cap B&O 28s.

Most of the good players tried out for M&D teams summer before 7th grade, and a few tried out the following summer. ALL of the best remaining players tried out for Capital and every one who made the top team accepted the offer. That is what happened.

To add, not one of those players that left came back to tryout for Capital. The Capital cheerleaders in here don't want to hear that.

Maybe it had absolutely nothing to do with Capital at all? If they found a great team to be on that fits them then why leave? Capital is doing just fine as evidenced yesterday.

Let’s take this back to the 29s….who hear thinks MNDDC will be able to overtake BLC this year? They made a lot of moves to make that happen but as the score showed this weekend, it still isn’t happening. One has to think if they have the “best girls” from the area and still can’t score a W against BLC, what’s the problem? Maybe coaches?

That is completely understandable. A player already on an top team like M&D Black or Hero's with an established recruiting history was already set up for success. Not trying out for Capital in favor of a startup with NO recruiting history is an entirely different thing.

We have the most popular forum on DCUM right now because HS tryouts is the most popular and entertaining topic. Better get used to it.

We can care about capital once tryouts are here, you guys can jump and down to tell everyone how awesome you are at that time.

As far as 2029s this year, m&d dc and blc are both decent squads, but neither will win anything of note this year. There is a big gap bw them and the top teams and there is no way to avoid those better teams. It will be interesting to see how pride does this year after losing a few players, and the other dc teams are just blah.

Evidence yesterday suggests they'd be around the 25th or 26th ranked team based on last year's results. Or just ahead of Stars Light Blue.
