If you stay with capital you are part of a different experiment of how long a club can survive on reputation alone, without adapting with the changing game. You won’t have the luxury of seeing the 27s and 28s recruiting before you make your decision, but you might be wise to look at how many capital girls actually play in college vs attend and are part of the team. It may not matter to you, but it is a statistic worth looking into. You also might want to consider how much your family is relying on any money. Capital finds most of their girls homes, but that may not come with much or any financial assistance.

What adaptations are you suggesting they make? Outside of the lack of social media I am not sure what they need to do better?

For a start, how about preparing girls to actually play in college instead of sitting on the bench. The marketing of the commits versus what players actually do in college is a huge gap with the Capital model right now. The same can't be said for the other big clubs like YJ, CT, MD.

Let's not count your chickens before they hatch. The Capital goal, as well as the parents that choose that club, is to get their kids into the best school that fits for them. Do they want to have a great experience when they get there, of course! Do they have much control over that? Not sure. That has to do with the family choosing the right path for the player. If playing time is more important to you then the school choice you will be able to find a school with no problem. The schools that most families want are competitive academically and even more competitive athletically.

Are you suggesting that M&D DC will better prepare players to play in college vs Capital? You have to get there first!

So Capital may help my daughter get into a top-10 academic school? She might be able to go to Princeton, but not play much? I'm in! Give me the pen!

So take a gamble with the upstart? I just don’t see how the best case scenario with M&D DC could possibly exceed Capital, yet there is enormous downside risk. What am I missing? Someone make a good argument fast because I’m pretty much out too. And no f’ing way I am going to share that with anyone except a few who I trust and want to stay with. This is very much an every man for him/herself situation.

You should go. Godspeed to you. Hope Cap can cobble together some players from all the also rans.

No, we are not talking about M&D West. That is the old HoCo. M&D DC is the old Next Level. Long story short it’s a new club that is probably going to be better than Capital for high school so see you at tryouts.

I would hardly call any organization associated with the number one club in the country an "Upstart". I would trust a talented team under their umbrella. The M&D logo on a jersey goes a long way. And they are promoting all of their clubs. They promote Orlando and they even had the M&D DC over M&D black win on their instagram page.
