[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The team is stacked. There is not one kid on that offer list that doesn’t deserve it.[/quote]

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]Kinda weird that everyone ascribes players playing for top local teams and making workouts as "politics".  Rather than the top local teams having, ya know, some of the best players.  And for workouts some girls having more focus, resolve, dedication (and maybe resources) to improve.  [/quote]. Capitals best recruited players go to the top 25 D1 lacrosse programs in the country so there is not politics or money getting those spots! D1 Coaches want to win --they take players they think will help them win! It is the player’s skills, lax IQ, and athleticism with the guidance of Capital and tournament selections that when put all together make for a successful strategy for recruiting just like all the other top 30 clubs in the country.  I also noticed many of the Capital Blue 2025/2026 players got selected for ALL ISL, ALL State and many got USA Lacrosse
All American and All Academic.  These are players from all difderent schools that happen to play together on Capital getting noticed as top players that is not politics that is because they are the BEST players in the area for that year. So stop posting that Capital doesn’t know how to evaluate players and make selections to create a winning team that can be in the top 20 in the country at the club level. They’ve done it repeatedly for many years now They know what they’re doing. The 2027 & 2028 are going to do well with recruiting and improve in the rankings as well.  [/quote]
