[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Laxbyatch]How would you like to be one of the BLC families who spent $1,500 on the Crap Academy followed by over $1,000 in additional high pressure tactic evaluation clinics and a tryout just to be told your daughter didn’t make Capital blue or maybe has a spot on the B team Capital orange. Or neither. Pay what is close to annual club dues to potentially make a team? And a team that isn’t even that good? Wow the stories what are going around!! But hey the fear factor seams to work - gotta give that Crap lax CEO some props. He’s doing something right! Seems like a better option to just stay with a NoVa team and focus on your daughter being a good person. Crap academy seems to stand for one thing - cash grab and arrogance. Let’s bring some integrity back to NoVa / DMV lax. [/quote]

They’re all a cash grab at this point. You must not be paying attention. CLC 2030 team will be good.[/quote]

Wrong. No other club is doing what they are doing.[/quote]

Along the way during cap academy, after you’ve spent $1,500 and another ~$1,000 on the “optional” aka mandatory evaluation clinics and mini clinics, they’ll happily direct you to one of their Healthy Baller locations for a series of $50-125/hour sessions to ensure they properly monetize your future D1 superstar. The HB sessions are to be expected if you want to “earn” your spot on Capital. And for the girls to who aren’t selected as one of the 30 (many of whom are great players) to go through the cap academy “premier cash extraction experience”, they will continue to live in fear and walk on eggshells, hoping to have a chance at making Capital. If they kiss the ring enough and spend enough money they might earn a spot on orange. [/quote]

This is very concerning to hear. I have a younger daughter who’s looking at options and all I’ve been hearing is what a terrible experience this has been. Decent lacrosse but parents who were misled and gouged $$ and treated like second rate citizens who need to bow down as grown adults to a 30 year old whose parents bought them a lacrosse club and training facility.

You should have been more subtle — less is always more when pretending to be someone you’re not on DCUM. Had you stopped after the second sentence you would have gone undetected. But you leaned in way too strong that last line. Dead giveaway. Capital Delusion Syndrome is real!! [/quote]
