From my experience, it really is all about the clubs the players are on not the high school teams.  College coaches recruit at tournaments and showcases not high school games.  I don’t see much value in transferring to a private school unless the parents view it as a better education.  Seems like we have some private school parents here on the public school board talking trash.  I hope you are enjoying the long commute to private school for the rare possibility that your kid plays for a top D1 program.  There arent a ton of top d1 recruits for dc area private schools either beyond SSSA.  [/quote]

Agree the high school - whether private or public is less important than club. However, because the competition is so much better in the privates the kids become much better. Iron sharpens iron. Kids don’t get better beating other bad public schools by 15+ every game. [/quote]

I did a quick search of the rosters of the top ranked teams from last season to see how many Virginia girls are on those rosters and whether they attended public or private schools.  I also did the three highest ranked teams in the Northern Virginia area. Here is what I found:

1) Northwestern - 0
2) UNC - 1 (Stone Ridge (private))
3) Maryland - 0
4) Johns Hopkins - 3 (St Stephens (private), Georgetown Visi (private), Meridian (public))
5) Colorado - 1 (Stafford (public))
6) Navy - 3 (St. Stephens (private), St. Annes Belfield (private), Meridian (public))
7) Stoney Brook - 0
8) Syracuse - 1 (St. Annes Belfied (private))
9) Michigan - 4 (Potomac School (private), Georgetown Visi (private), St. Annes Belfield (private), Chantilly (public))
10) Stanford - 0

13 Total (9 private, 4 public)

15) JMU - 6 (Oakton (public), Douglas Freeman (public), Woodson (public), Atlee (public), Madison (public), Kettle Run (public))
21) UVA - 6 (St Annes Belfield (2) (private), St Stephens (2) (private), Covenant (private), Western Albemarle (public))
27) Georgetown - 2 (Collegiate (private), Dominion (public))

14 total (8 public/6 private)

I don't know if this is super scientific but I think it reiterates the point that if you can play and are athletic enough, they will find you.  [/quote]

And I bet these girls all came from a few of the most elite clubs (Capital, M&D etc) whether they went to public or private school.  The club is what really matters.  [/quote]Actually, they didn't. This is about top lacrosse schools, not top USNWR schools.  Folks are putting together information about public and private schooling, there's no need to make every thread about Caiptal on here.[/quote]

Why so much hate on Capital?  We should be building them up to continue with a great platform as a way for the girls to compete at the highest levels.  But it's also a fact, they did come from the elite teams in the area.  Perfect example, just take a look at the State POY commitment this year compared to the 2027 M&D and Capitals commitments.  Even their second teams are very very competitive schools.  You be the judge:  
[/quote]For the love of god, can you Capital sycophants contain your posts to all the Capital threads you've created?  One of your gal pals posted attempting to co-op a public vs private conversation in a VHSL thread that quote "all" recruits were from Capital yada in Virginia, so Capital yada is all that matters.  And it was from a list curated from top college teams.  Not your own list.  She lied.  Many or maybe most are not from top clubs Capital and M&D.

Please post your copy and paste Capital lists on Capital threads and leave the VHSL thread alone.[/quote]

I’ve read this several times and still can’t make sense of it.[/quote]

LOL  Me too!  I think the technical term for it is Capital Derangement Syndrome (CDS).  Symptoms are triggered nervous system (shivers, cold sweats, incoherent thoughts) along with some Coprolalia.  hahaha [/quote]I think he just wants all of the Capital cheerleaders to stop trying to dominate every thread and making it about them.  Sounds like a reasonable ask.[/quote]
