[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate to say it, but agree that most of the MC Elite teams are going down hill.  Good friends daughter on 23 Midnight team played VA Metro 23 Black team and got man handled by over 17 goals, and completely dominated.  Parents where not happy at all.    Guess they didn't see that coming[/quote]

That's a pretty bold statement to make for someone who clearly doesn't play at the club but I do realize that people use this forum to lie and hope that it "brings down" other clubs.  There are lots of talented girls and lots of strong coaches at MC.  They have done a ton of work this year to make sure all the girls kept playing through the pandemic - we practiced 3 times a week during the fall and had tons of extra fitness and practices over the winter while her friends at other clubs were sitting at home.  My daughter's team doesn't win every game and sometimes they lose more than they win but their development program is top notch and as long as she keeps getting better as a player and having fun along the way then I don't care what the scores are.   MC has been rebuilding for the past 18-24 months and it shows.  I would make the argument that playing against teams better than you helps you to elevate your game.  No team at any club is going to win every game.  That's what creates so much club hopping - parents who are just looking to win.  Teams move up and down year to year and even season to season.  The MC 24 team has 2 strong coaches who left Pride and came to MC.  Their players love them.  There were a lot of politics with the girls that left for Capital, including a parent who wanted to keep coaching his kid at MC and they wouldn't let him.  For what it's worth - no parent should be coaching their kid at the travel level in 9th grade.  The team had to rebuild but picked up some strong girls from Stars who were much more committed than the girls who left.

I'm pretty sure that the girls that went to Capital aren't playing Varsity as freshman this year.  A bunch of the MC24 girls who stayed at MC and who play for Stone Ridge all got pulled up to Varsity as freshman.[/quote]
