Lacrosse
Who knows and who cares? Hopefully they have other activities to fall back on as lax is not those girls strong suit. |
Coppermine and EagleStix can put away Pride easily very consistently. Even on LFTC weekend when Pride was generally a dumpster fire, Hero's could not put them away decisively. I don't care what the rankings say; I'd still rather play Hero's than Crush, M&D, or Maryland United. |
What is BOTC? |
There are a few strong players that live in the Kensington area that play for Hero’s green. I’m assuming that’s who this person was mentioning. |
BOTC = Back Of The Cage. It a forum the Maryland board is mainly about Baltimore clubs but here you go check it out. https://www.backofthecage.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/11/1/maryland-main-forum.html |
| Rumored that NL’s best middie is leaving for Hero’s or Pride, with Hero’s obviously being her first choice |
Except for the ridiculous commute, Hero’s who routinely beats Pride by 2 or less, is obviously the first choice. |
Not so sure about that. If my DD made #3 team in the country, we’d make that commute no questions asked. But- see your point. |
Would it be "no questions asked" if you lived in Fairfax our Loudon Co? Add 30-40 mins to that commute. What about going to be the 6th or 7th attacker/defender or 8th or 9th middle instead of starting? Name is huge, I get it, but it seems like there is a lot to consider for a move like that. |
If they are already on Pride, stay there for 1 more year and go to Capital. If you are worried about making Capital and not sure, you definitely won’t make Heros or play even if you did make it. The draw of the Maryland clubs is nice but there’s just as much politics and back stabbing there if not more than the DC scene. |
NL player making a top MD club? I must’ve missed her. |
Best post of the day! Perfectly said, indont think the non athletic parents can truly grasp what you are even explaining. |
Trying out. |

There are plenty of DMV girls good enough to make a top MD club, including the NL middie. Anyone suggesting otherwise is not watching these teams play regularly. The MD teams are deep, but they are not so deep that they would not take a good, talented player from NL, Pride, Stars, etc. But is the juice worth the squeeze? Pride, for example, plays in the same tournaments against the same teams as Hero's. Is the status of playing for a top team worth the effort involved in getting to practice multiple times per week? If your goal is to play for a MD team in high school, then it's probably worth setting up shop as early as possible. But if you are a DMV girl who really wants to play for Capital, why bother with a MD team for a year? I don't get it. |
