[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In recent seasons, there was a persistent cadre of Capital dads who apparently assumed that repeated emails imploring parents to drop their girls off and leave did not apply to them.  Nice guys, but...

The top clubs in Maryland don't do this, so why does Capital think they are special? [/quote]

Capital actively discourages parent sideline engagement / coaching with players. Md clubs do not. Capital tries to put a wall between the parents and the club and the players are much better for it. Capital players are able to play at practice without the watchful eye of their obsessive parents critiquing their every move. Teaches them to advocate for themselves if they need to address something with the coaches. [b]Prepares them for recruiting camps too (which are almost always closed)[/b]. Fun to watch the handful of psycho dads who disregard closed practice instructions at recruiting camps -- easy pickins' for college coaches to make mental notes of the players they should stay away from.

I’ve taken my daughter to over a dozen recruiting camps over a two year period and only one was closed - one of the six Ivies we visited.[/quote]

I have never been to a closed recruiting camp for my son or daughter. Boys clubs do not have closed practices.  [/quote]

We’ve faced a mix. A BC camp was held inside its football facility and they prohibited parents from watching. Everyone was huddled in the vestibule trying to catch a glimpse. A small Yale camp was also closed to spectators (or highly discouraged, can’t remember) so everyone waited in their cars. My daughter doesn’t want me there watching her play at these things anyway so it wasn’t a big deal.  [/quote]
