Since most of them are from the Bethesda area, they are closer to DC. Also assumed it is easier to make the DC team, especially when 1/3 of the Baltimore team is already made up of Hero's players. They can only take so many from the same team.

Yes

It happens every year. I’m convinced the teams are picked once they see who is trying out. The tryouts are a mere formality.

DMV talent was notably low in the 28 year, understandable these players left for Hero’s

The Hero's girls come from the DC metro area, and their selection would make sense to anyone. Choosing players from Charlottesville also makes sense, since DC is the nearest regional tryout. What stands out most are the selections from the Baltimore/Annapolis area, which could be the main focus of criticism for anyone looking to challenge the process.

I think for certain clubs, eg, Heroes and Capital, this is some truth to this. But it makes sense. These girls have had to go through multiple tryouts and play the toughest competition in the country almost each time they take the field. So if they perform at the same level as a kid who is on a top 50 club, I’m going with the players on the elite clubs every time. Who you play for is huge part of your lacrosse resume.

I think the point was that if you're not on one of the top teams, paying money to tryout is a waste of your time and money.

Except for the fact that girls from lower ranked clubs made both AA and AS and have every year.

A couple do. This is only for show to give the illusion anyone can make the team. If you don't think it's rigged, you don't know DMV Lax.

Probably true which is why the tryouts for these teams are som competitive.

Always helps when one of the evaluators is from your club. Not sure if they thought choosing an evaluator from MD would make them impartial in DC but all it did is have girls from a very low ranked club on the team

Which club was one of the Evaluators from? The head coach has no club affiliation and the assistant coach is affiliated with the Jets program and no players for that program are on the team. There were 2 other evaluators there. Are you saying one of them is associated what a club? If so, which one?

i don't think that's what they meant. in this case, they're suggesting having no affiliation backfired, since the coach from MD did not know the top girls from the top clubs in DC/VA and ended up selecting girls from very low ranked clubs

Integrity- it worked for the 2029 in Baltimore and the 2028 in DC

Didn't work, missed out on some great talent in the area! To half of the roster is solid, bottom is questionable.
