[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's all be honest.  No team is purely 50/50 or has perfectly even playing time.  At the end of a close game against a good competitor, all coaches will have their best players in the game, as they should, despite whatever BS the club marketing material says.  Some teams are obnoxious about the lack of playing time for some kids, but none are perfectly even.  [/quote]

What team has marketing material that claims they have equal playing time? Can you share a link?

Capital does have equal rotations. They also don’t have “starters” (different players start each game). I’m a Capital parent and can say this from personal experience. I’m unaware of any statement they’ve ever made about these practices.

Capital’s focus is on maximizing the number of recruits, not maximizing wins. Their philosophy is, the more time everyone gets, the more schools see them perform. It’s the reason Capital rarely beats M&D or Hero’s - and when they do, it’s a pretty big deal because those teams are not as 50/50, as some Md club parents have acknowledged. They may play evenly at the start, but they lean on the starters at the end if the game is close. It makes total sense to do this to win more games of course, but the PP who claims all clubs do this isn’t familiar with / doesn’t have a kid on Capital.

We all know the star players on the various teams based on many matches at multiple tourneys over years of play, and I’ve been on the sidelines when Md clubs keep the starters on the field if it’s close.

Capital doesn’t do this - they stick to even rotations despite the score. They lose games this way, but the club’s feeling is that it offers more kids more exposure.

I know several parents on ‘26 Blue at Capital who absolutely hate the even playing time. They are all good players on that team, but what they’ve told me is that you can still play enough to get recruited while still relying on your top 3-4 girls at the end of the game to win. After all, winning is a lot more fun than losing and the game should be about fun too - not just thinking about the next step. [/quote]
