Agreed, the team can be stacked and politics/relationships can stack the odds to a degree.  There clearly is an advantage to training at Healthy Baller and playing for certain clubs/schools.  It’s very hard for a girl to make Capital if her first exposure to the coaches is at the tryout, even with a clinic or two.  But those places also tend to help make girls into better lacrosse players, so it’s logical the coaches would focus on girls they know more about.

I mean pretty much everyone knew at least two years ago that the best way to position a player for Capital was to 1) be on a good MS club team and 2) gain exposure to Capital through HB and Capital skills clinics.  I suppose this is “politics”, but it was done completely transparently and there were limited barriers to entry, with skill, time, and money being the most significant.  It should come as no surprise that the average Capital Blue player this year came from a top MS club and spent some cash on HB and Capital clinics. [/quote]

How do you have info on where the “average Capital Blue player” played in MS and what they did to prepare for tryouts?  [/quote]

Because I know enough at this point, and I have been paying attention to who has been showing up the last several years.  It would actually be shocking if the average Capital Blue player wasn't from one of the top local teams who had attended the workouts.[/quote]

Question was basically “how do you know” and answer was “because I know.”  Typical for this thread. [/quote]
