[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capital Lacrosse Club is a non-profit run by volunteers. Unfortunately evaluations are subjective and because Capital has been the gold standard for local lacrosse for over twenty years parents get upset when their child doesn't make a team. The coaches and talent evaluators are truly doing this because they love the game.

Capital is not like other clubs its not a for profit enterprise. They are not selling dreams to kids that have no shot of playing in college. Yes many kids from other programs play in college and not every kid neeeds to play for Capital. The program is as altruistic as possible in a subjective sport. Their are no parent coaches and they all have professional experience having coached a high school team. In fact Capital has placed over 90% of its kids in College programs which is exactly what its supposed to accomplish.

Capital could field three or even four teams most years but the point of Capital was to build the best teams from the area. Every other program is run as a for profit enterprise and some field three or four teams just to make money. Lets try to keep things in focus even when disappointment happens there are other options and its not the end of the road.

Lets all get back to enjoying the game we love.[/quote]

Dp, but what girls club fields more than two teams  per graduation year?

And is the crazy anti-Capitals person  also the crazy anti-Pantherea person?  [/quote]

There are a lot of people who are anti-Capital.  Do some research, ask some school coaches.  The bad press has been increasing for a while now but started long ago.  The reputation has long been that it is supremely political.   The person on here spouting the kumbayah nonsense based on it being a non-profit is probably the current directors or board members trying to clean up their image.  Its certainly not a altruistic organization in any way.   The truth about Capital is much more complex and includes that it was started by parents, is still overseen by a parent board, and most telling, has coaches that also work at various schools in the WCAC and ISL.  These folks all have a vested interest in seeing very specific girls succeed.  The resulting politics are nasty.

The anti-Panthera stuff is probably directed at the owner as there isnt much else for people to target since they just started.  The two are unrelated and the Capital stuff doesn't belong on this thread.[/quote]

This poster above has an agenda and clearly keeps talking about the "truth about Capital" or the secret issues she sounds more like Rudy Guliani than an owner of a $$$ For-Profit Lacrosse Club[/quote]
