[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite a few NL families are shopping this month.[/quote]

shopping beyond just trying out for BLC Blue?   This is the MoCo problem.   Not that many local options[/quote]
BLC has to do something drastic. Their program finishes in 8th grade. They are supposed to be a feeder for Capital but how many of their 25s made either of the Capital teams? Where are they going next? They aren’t developing the girls to make them competitive for any of the top teams. Even the ones in Virginia.[/quote]

NL and BLC have a particular place in the “market”. It has been that way for years and every new crop of young parents tries to figure it out. NL is a great program for a certain level of player. Not all clubs need to be the same. BTW, BLC had never been a feeder program into any elite HS club program. [/quote]
BLC pipeline used to be BLC -> Stars -> Capital. But since they expanded into 8th grade and turned more into a club, they are still trying to retain that BLC -> Capital pipeline but they aren't preparing the girls to play at the Capital level.

If they want to stay in their niche along with Next Level, that is fine. But they should then consider expanding into high school so those girls who want to play at that level have another opportunity besides playing Next Level. Currently, there is no where for the BLC girls to go once they finish 8th grade. BLC may say Capital is the next step but how many 25s made Capital from BLC? Next Level won't be able to take 2 teams worth of BLC girls plus their own girls.[/quote]

BLC needs to go back to merging with Stars for 6th-8th grades to prepare them for Capital and playing at the Capital level for HS.  Its obvious the BLC standalone isn't working and Stars is also suffering from not having the best girls in the DMV area all play together in prep for Capital.  Terrible decision on BLC's part (other than the money grab).[/quote]
