[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After watching all of this unfold for my daughter (2026) over the years, my observation is that the Capital Blue team is seen by college coaches as the top players in D.C. Frankly, because it is. These girls have already been vetted as the top players, so why go to a Pride, Cap Orange, Stars etc. until Capital Blue girls have all been signed? If girls on these teams were top players, they would be on Capital Blue. Unless colleges know they don't have a shot at this pool of players I wouldn't expect recruiting at other DMV clubs to really start until this group has been placed.[/quote]This might surprise you, but not every player decides jumping to the Cap cult is the way to go.  And not every good player is identified in 8th grade.  Also, not every club pushes their players to jump on the 1st offer that'll blow up in the first week of talking to coaches.  So on the latter point, you may be correct.

That said, Cap has done a great job scraping talent away in 8th/rising 9th grade, and then claiming the recruits.  Given how the 28s and 29s are playing out, the next couple years will be very interesting.[/quote]

You'd be an idiot to turn down a spot on Capital Blue - unless it was to play for M&D or Hero's. I agree that Capital doesn't develop the players (scrapes talent is one way to put it), but they know what good looks like and if they are interested in your daughter you better 100% join the "cult" if the goal is to play for a college someone has heard of.[/quote]

What about Orange? And are there girls who are misplaced on Orange and should be on Blue? Maybe they will leave Capital for another club?[/quote]

It's possible, but that sorts itself after freshman year during summer tryouts. If you're still on Orange during sophomore year, that's most likely the final destination unless you head to another club.  [/quote]

Agreed. I'll add tie will go to the girl already on blue so an orange player needs to be clearly better.  [/quote]

It’s also by position. If your daughter is an orange middie, it’d be very hard to get on Blue bc there are already 7-8 girls ahead of your daughter. There have been some movements in A and D the last few years so if your orange player is a standout A or D on her team there is a chance she can be moved up. [/quote]
