[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, although Pride black ‘23 has a better record, Capital  blue ‘23 has more stand-out players.  Capital just hasn’t found the team dynamic it needs to win. Pride’s goalies are top notch but Capital has the better Defenders (2 exceptional players attend Holton and 3rd at Visi).  Middies pretty even but Capital has edge at attack. Pride’s edge is due to most of their girls having played together for years and it takes Capital teams  too long to find their groove. This is honestly Capital’s biggest issue - creating wholly new teams in 9th grade is never going to be as competitive as top teams like M&D, SW, Hero's, Steps and LIYJs who have mostly been playing together for years. Pride was supposed to change that in DMV but clearly that’s not happening as the exodus of ‘25s from Pride to Capital shows.  Gussie needs to just bite the bullet and buy Stars from STJ or start a more comprehensive program. [/quote]

If your definition of standing out is individual play and show-boating then maybe this is at the heart of the issue you are pointing out with CLC. Rather than conveniently blaming team chemistry as the club's issue you may want to consider the type of player -- are they looking to make themselves better or others around them better? Maybe they standout for the wrong reasons.

You are off-based stating CLC is "creating wholly new teams in 9th grade". A good number of players on the '23 team came from Stars. You may be surprised to learn half of the top '23 Pride team joined the program in 8th or 9th grade. This hasn't stopped this team from moving up the ranks.

So, singling-out team chemistry as to why Pride is successful doesn't explain how Pride did it with almost half the team being new and why Capital has not done the same with a similar foundation of players. The answer to your issue may just be the type of player each program has. They simply don't have the right standout players.
