[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start of Capital 2030 is an event that will likely break some teams.  Hopeful that these teams survive.[/quote]

Capital Blue is essentially a done deal, driven by the announced BLC partnership and the CAP program. At this point, the decision comes down to whether you remain on your current team or transition to Capital Orange.[/quote]

Looking at earlier posts, it seems like the MS Academy is mostly BLC players with a few players from Stars and one or two from other clubs (YJ, etc.), pretty consistent with how the team has historically been put together. The early tryout date is an interesting wrinkle too, as it likely cuts off any real competition from the Baltimore clubs. If players were weighing options like Hero's, SW, Coppermine, MD United, or M&D, that won't be an option unless they are willing to walk away from their deposit and burn a bridge.

Which raises a bigger question worth discussing: is Capital Orange compelling enough to pull players away from their current clubs, and more importantly, what happens to the clubs left behind? Stars and Pride don't appear to have much to offer in terms of college recruiting. Do YJ DMV and M&D DC have enough recruiting pull to hold onto their top players? The main clubs for YJ/M&D have that reputation, but it's not clear how much of that carries over to their local DMV programs.

Stars has struggled to field teams past 8th grade, and YJ DMV has a smaller roster to begin with. Without their best players it's hard to see how either stays competitive at the higher levels.

Would love to hear from anyone with kids in those programs. Are families already making decisions, and is there any sense of how those clubs are planning to respond?[/quote]

Capital Orange is not compelling. The Capital coaches are not better than the other clubs. Capital is well organized and that's about it. It runs like a machine. TBD whether that can last. Odds are growing that it will not exist in its current form in five years. [/quote]
