[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i’m beginning to think this thread is just the local club directors responding to each other! [/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. For sure the Caps owners are on here. I don't blame them for closing ranks around those that are entertaining the idea of going to Skywalker's, Hero's or M/D. They are trying to build a business in this area, so the idea of losing top end girls to Baltimore clubs would not be a positive development.  [/quote]

Folks still having trouble accepting how Capital's equal rotations can compete with MDs "best" who play 80 percent of each game ... and be better at recruiting.

I don't fault MD club owners and coaches from engaging here out of fear their players who never see the field might want to try and make Capital and get more exposure.

I mean ... It's not lost on anyone that the MD boydads are pretty tilted by Capital 23's recruiting success. Just wait until the 24s!

I guess it all depends on your definition of compete...

Pretty sure "top-end girls" are seeing the field, no matter where they play.  The risk is to Caps is those top end girls going to Baltimore clubs. Why, you ask? They would actually get more time in Baltimore clubs then they would in an equal play time model, pure and simple. If you are a top end girl, would you rather get 50% or 75 % of a game in front of BC, UNC, MD, NW etc??

And candidly, I would say the Baltimore clubs are very surprised at the Cap's 23 success in recruiting. The equal play time model got a lot of girls recruited (pretty sure those Baltimore clubs had about same percentage of girls, but that was expected), but my point still stands. The top-end girls will get more time and practice with more developed girls (HS programs are better) if they play for Baltimore clubs; bottom end girls will not.

Yes they have to put up with the drive and yes it isn't for everyone. As a parent, it all should enter into the decision.[/quote]
