[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt Coopermine will jump in. They already have 3 areas under the brand, use their brand fields as an anchor, have no strong connection to this area, and are just getting started on their recruiting success. Maryland “United” is very intriguing.[/quote]

Help me understand how is it anymore intriguing than M&D DC or YJ's DMV?  Unless fully formed teams move over they will not be competitive for years, if at all.  Look at NL/M&D DC, they been around a long time and only have one strong team out of a dozen.  Even that team will dissolve after this year.    [/quote] Not the original poster, but I am intrigued. Y&J DMV is two teams organized by a mom, there is no LI YJ person here. NL/M&D DC has never have had any good teams, it is just more of the same, it is brand only. [/quote]

I guarantee none of these clubs are entering this market expecting to immediately take over Capital. This is going to take a few years to build, which I fully expect them to do. And when not if they convince the girls who start with them in elementary and middle school to stay through high school, instead of leaving for the high school-only Capital, it could become a serious problem.

What I don’t understand is why the Capital parents don’t demand a stronger social media presence. I don’t get Capitals' aversion to using it and adapting to the times. Just like I don’t understand why they haven’t started developing players at the middle school level. It makes no sense and, honestly, could eventually end up being a big downfall of the club. Look where Coppermine and SW are now as compared to a few years ago, and then ask SW how it has worked out when they didn't take Coppermine seriously.[/quote]
