[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gussie needs to just bite the bullet and buy Stars from STJ or start a more comprehensive program. [/quote]

I don't see the STJ ever selling Stars.  What if the STJ/Stars bought Capital?  Or maybe that offer was already made...... :shock: [/quote]

Not likely.  No one who cares about the top girls DMV lax brand is going to allow Capital to be owned/run by a corporation. The Ks should never have sold Stars to STJ - a decision based on greed. The Stars program has faded already under STJ’s short ownership. Hate to see how far it falls if it goes on much longer.  The only solution is for Capital to start earlier - move down one grade per year until they are 5th or 6th thru hs. [/quote]

I cant imagine the STJ is thrilled with the direction of the Stars program...its really a shame, honestly.   [/quote]

Honest question, what do you see as the direction of the Stars program? Do you really see it falling down? What are your reasons? Real questions on what "others" see?

Some of the reality is, more and more programs are appearing, i.e. Madlax girls and YJMA.  BLC (which is being discussed on the NL thread) also used to "merge" with Stars for 6-8th grades.  That is no longer the case because BLC felt they could stand on their own and be competitive (not the case at all).  Part of both programs struggles is this split of the merge.  The Stars 2024 team was the last team to have BLC merge in and that team was very successful and could compete with the best of MD.  BLC needs to come back to Stars or the STJ buy BLC, something.  Even throw in MCE.  NL is in outer space on what they are doing so who knows.

Additionally, the Stars younger programs (before 6th grade) only started 2-3 years ago.  They were always 6-8th grades.  People need to remember that as well.

The STJ facility is bar none the nicest facility in the DMV.  That along should want to attract players but its been a challenge.  Now throw in Covid which wiped out at least 1 year if not longer, not good for attracting new players etc.

Lastly, sometimes the success comes and goes with each year, some years are better than others for talent etc.  The younger Pride teams are not any better nor are any of the DMV teams, in fact everyone else is worse than Pride/Stars in the younger years.

As for the poster above about Capital not being corporate owned by the STJ, yes that's correct.  But don't think they are immune to getting offers.[/quote]
