[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the NCAP hate? It’s not our club, but it seems a little over the top?[/quote]
Honestly, because they are good and so the parents of the kids at mediocre clubs are bitter. [/quote]

It’s kind of a tell when a poster ends their post hating on NCAP saying something like it’s too high pressure for my swimmer, but it works for some people. :roll: [/quote]

I wasn't the PP, and I don't hate NCAP-- but where I do get frustrated with the team on occasion is when people start chest-thumping and claiming NCAP itself is creating all these fantastic athletes. If you look at all the points scorers from last weekend at least half on the girls' side were swimming (and swimming well) for other teams at 12, 13, or even 14+. They are a superteam because they draw talent from other teams-- and that's fine, but own that.[/quote]

Good try…

I perused meet mobile for all their open girls that scored this weekend and only 5 of the first 20 weren’t on NCAP yet at the age of 12 (two of those were out of state swimmers prior to joining NCAP) so clearly nowhere near “at least half” were swimming for other teams at 12,13, or even 14+.[/quote]

I actually did the search with meet mobile. I'm not going to name children on the internet, but it's absolutely true. I was only looking at 13 and older.[/quote]
