[quote=Anonymous]Only time will tell how this all plays out. The standard for the new Pride HS team should not be competing with Capital or for Capital competing with Pride. Both programs should be striving to be as good or better than the MD and LI teams. This will be a tall order given the talent pool is now split between two programs. The landscape of club lacrosse for HS girls in NOVA will not be the same as the past. Capital Blue today will not be the same as Capital Blue of the past. It simply can't be given the best talent in NOVA is spread across multiple teams now.

Given most of the Pride players opted to stay with Pride says a lot about how those players feel about their teammates, their coaches, and the Pride program. Capital no longer has a monopoly on HS talent where historically the best youth players funneled into their program. At least for now it appears the best talent will be split between two programs. While it's great to have an open market to choose from this will impact the strength of both programs at least in the short term. It's too early to tell how this will play out in the long-run.

One thing is for sure. Club lacrosse has become big business driven by parents on an endless quest to have their daughters be the next superstar. Clubs see this and are taking advantage of the business opportunity these frenzied parents have created. Who can blame them. At the end of the day the club(s) that survive will be the one(s) that deliver expected results. The assumption is parents are spending all of this money on club lacrosse, so their daughters will have the opportunity to play at the college level. If this is the end goal whichever club is able to deliver these results in the new NOVA HS lacrosse landscape will survive.[/quote]
