From what I have seen from the current HS teams- they are in the business to put the best team on the field so that they can compete at the highest level against other top clubs for the next 3 years.

Facts that some around these parts deny in their delusions.

Folks - it’s pretty simple. If the kid wants Capital, approach it the same way she would a college look. Go to the clinics. Go to the camps. Work hard to get noticed. If you think a player can just roll into a college camp of a DD’s choice without doing any advance work to get recognized, you’re nuts.

Ah. Folks Guy.

Nothing of any value here.

When common sense can’t be challenged, this is all they have.

My DD played for a top 20 D1 program. She was a tall strong attacker. After games she looked like she just finished a 12-round boxing match. At that level her size allowed her to catch feeds over smaller players. It was hard for smaller players to defend against her size. I think smaller players will struggle as the sport becomes more physical and players are bigger and better conditioned. I agree you don’t need size at every level of D1, but D1 is not an equal term as talent drops off quickly for the second half of D1 teams. Top DII/DIII teams will beat these teams and I think some top college club teams will give some D1 teams a run for their money.

I would be interested to see the full data rather than a few outliers. Average height by position would be interesting.

Current rosters of last year's top 10 (Northwestern, Boston College, Syracuse, Denver, North Carolina, James Madison, Loyola Maryland, Florida, Maryland, Notre Dame show the following average heights by position:

Attack 5'6"
Defense 5'6"
Midfield 5'6"
Goalie 5'6"
Total 5'6"

Shortest players are 5'2" (6 total). Tallest players are 6'0" (2 total).

Ah .. “look” guy

To be fair, FG, it only works if there is a history of starting posts with that. You are really sensitive. Did not mean to upset you. To Be Fair Guy.

Was that the no-ill-will post with the gratuitous “you are really sensitive” shot?

Tryout is a loose term for Capital. If you don’t have a good idea your DD will make the team going into the tryouts then you are not in the know. Tryouts are not for 20-21 spots, maybe 3-5.

I am sorry to be repetitive here, but I think you have it backwards. There are maybe 3-5 locked down spots and the rest are up for grabs.

Nope. Have had two go through the process. Work the room. The team is pretty much know before tryouts.

How do you know this? Is it just Stars and Pride players who have locks on spots at 2028? I was the one who posted about trying out for a MD club and if it is just going to be Pride and Stars then I am inclined to try a MD team.

Trust me, Capital loves to grab girls from all over. They will pick a lot from Stars and Pride, but they are definitely going to be picking girls from a lot of other clubs too

I hope so. Reading this thread and it sounds like Capital has already decided on the girls (which I am sure is true to some extent just want to keep options open with other clubs - and no, I am not trying to start a MD v Capital debate).

They haven’t decided. These comments are from parents pushing this narrative trying to oversell their below average player making Capital

Correct. They have not decided. Show up for the workouts and do your best to get noticed.

They probably know a third of the girls they want for the Blue team. The rest is wide open. That’s is about right players. These will most likely be your Pride and Stars girls, yes because that is who they have been following the most. But trust me, they are picking the best ATHLETES, which sometimes are not always the best lacrosse players right away

Exactly... They are picking the most recruitable lacrosse players, not the best 8th grade lacrosse players.

If you are a field player and don't have elite size or elite speed, it will be difficult to make Capital Blue.
