[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What this shows is the Capital process works and what you end up with is a magnet progran that has girls from all over the metro area and as far as Richmond. The Panthera Coaches/Boosters should really stop posting. Come back in three years and tell me how many kids you place in college programs. Otherwise its all hot air.

Look if your a parent or a kid why would you not tryout for Capital they obviously have the most success in placing girls. All this nonsense is being drummed up by people who want to make money from your kids. The point of a travel lacrosse program is to place kids. Doing that at a 90% clip is very impressive. I work as a business manager and if you told me every vendor I hired would deliver 90% of what they said they would do. I'd give them every outside contract.

Look at the websites of the other clubs all good programs but not close to the 90% number. Best I can tell most are less than 30%. So yes Capital misses some girls but not many.

With the growth of the game I really encourage Capital to grow the number of teams they field. They obviously have the right model and the game has grown in the area to the point they need to add teams. It would make the parents alot happier and keep the $$$ makers at bay. Please Capital add more teams the area needs your expertise and my daughter wants to play for your team!![/quote]

Ninety percent last year?  Or over some longer time period?  Of course, quality of the school and lacrosse program also need to be considered.   Capitals does well with a few of the Ivies, I don’t see a lot of top 20 programs on the list, amd I do see a lot of D3.  2018 commits aren’t even listed.  I personally don’t take issue with the assertion that the Capitals are the most competitive club in the dc area, but the boosterism seems fairly overblown, especially with the quality of the Baltimore area clubs less than an hour away.

Also, with all the claims that the Panthera owner is posting here, it strikes me that someone from Capitals is more likely to be doing so.  This whole thread is pretty ridiculous, frankly.[/quote]

1. Who wants to drive to Baltimore??
2. Most parents look at Lacrosse as a vehicle to get in better schools not doing it for money so the idea you look down on DIII programs means you don't get the main driver of these programs. I would rather send my kid to Amherst than UC Davis or High Point
3. Look at any other website and you will see the other clubs don't compare.

Please use this easy link that Capital provides on its website to show its record over the years.

Here's the link to where Capital girls end up playing over the years.

Here's the link to the Accolades bestowed on its players.

There is something very wrong with you than you feel the need to continually advertise for your club here,

Since you brought it up, looking at the first of your alumni pages, I see Iona, Christopher Newport , amd Wingate as destinations for Capital players,.  While I certainly hope your girls are doing well there, these schools are a far cry from Amherst,

I agree that not every college that Capital sends to is top tier, so I just went to look myself to compare to the holy grail of high school girls lacrosse, M&D, and those commitments to  not rival Capital. I have never and will never send a player to Capital (not good enough and wants to do other things in HS), so don't mistake me for one of the boosters here. Just thought it was a very interesting comparison. I would guess it has more to do with the quality of the high schools that the players are coming from than the quality of the team, however. McDonough is a great school, but still not as strong academically as DC area schools (I think, anyway).[/quote]
