[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy lax mom checking in and wow Capital’s dominance for DC is crazy. For boys, the higher level commitments are spread out over 3-4 different teams and it’s very rare for a DC area to play for a Baltimore based team anymore. Are there a lot of DC area girls on the top M&D and Hero’s teams or is that rare? [/quote]Generally about 3-4 per year. Capital knows they're dealing with a large group doing it in the 28 class.  Double digits.  That may set up difficulty going forward as there are looking like alternative options not only there but with a challenger in the local area for the 29s.

Two years in a row of not being the only game in town might be a threat to their model, so I'm sure they know coaching up their 28s will be critical, as well as hoping it's a deep enough class with the ones they now are left with to compete at a high level.[/quote]

More 28s moved to MD clubs out of necessity. Better performing DMV 29s will likely bring numbers to traditional levels where more talent will stay local. Can’t envision 29s wanting to bet on an unknown (same reason 28 talent fled Coppermine for more established Hero’s and M&D). Prediction is that Capital 29 tryouts will be as competitive as ever. [/quote]

What was the necessity?  Parent of a ‘29 and I can’t see why anyone would not stay and tryout for Capital. [/quote]

There was no movement out of necessity, rather almost all the 28s that moved to MD teams did before their 8th grade year.   Every year a good amount of top talent doesn't tryout for Capital due to various reasons.  Some politics, some like their current club better than an unknown for a brand new group and team, lots of reasons.[/quote]

In recent years (except for 23s) the best of BLC and Pride come together to form a Capital super team. But Pride isn’t strong at 28 and the better BLC players made the right decision to leave early for MD bec they realized what the future would hold for them once they got to hs. The top players on BLC didn’t have a strong cast around them, so they opted to leave. Can’t blame them for it. [/quote]

The only BLC team in the last several years I can recall being any good was the 2027 group.  Your analysis is pretty much all wrong.[/quote]

Agreed - it is typically best of Pride and Stars except at the 27 class where BLC and NL were also represented[/quote]
