[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reeks of an overgeneralization.  You make Capital sound like the varsity blues scandal and all DMV parents are Aunt Becky.  
Capital is a best option for DMV families looking to place their daughters at competitive lacrosse and academic schools.
If you want to travel north there are great options with consistent and impressive track records.  
Every club has its strengths and weaknesses, but the politics surrounding Baltimore club lacrosse can be uniquely challenging.[/quote]

And capitals isn’t? Look how much craziness this whole capital process causes for families and kids. And don’t tell me there’s not politics going on at capital because there is despite what they try to sell everyone. And their recruiting goes like this, sssa players and then others. The recruiting coordinator does t touch the sssa girls so they get the benefit of kj and so you see a big difference who gets kj and who gets the coordinator. [/quote]

2030 parent's making club decisions need accurate information.  So I did a little analysis on your claim that there is "a big difference" in recruiting results between Capital Blue players at SSSAS who ostensibly get recruiting support from KJ, and those who go to other schools and are supported by the Capital Blue recruiting coordinator.  Unsurprisingly, your claim isn't supported by the data.

Using Capital Blue D1 commits from the last three recruiting years ('25-'27), there were 61 total commits, 12 from SSSAS and 49 from other high schools.  I took each commit and captured the lacrosse rank (using NCAA RPI) and academic rank (using US News).

Bottom line, the average lacrosse and academic ranks are essentially identical between the two groups for this adequate sample size.  The 49 Capital Blue commits from schools other than SSSAS averaged a 39.39 lacrosse rank and 42.04 academic rank, for a combined index of 81.33.  The 12 Cap Blue SSSAS commits averaged a 38.67 lacrosse rank, and a 45.58 academic rank, for a combined index of 84.25. In other words, there is no meaningful difference in recruiting results--either lacrosse-wise or academically--for Cap Blue players overall whether they go to SSSAS or not.

Some other relevant notes for those looking at schools.  Only Cap Blue Commits were included (GC and SJC have significant commits from other clubs, as does SR):

--Stone Ridge. 6 Commits. Averages: Lacrosse - 32; Academics - 17.66.
--Potomac. 10 Commits. Averages: Lacrosse - 38.78 ; Academics - 25.
--Visitation. 6 Commits. Averages: Lacrosse - 45; Academics - 33.33.  
--GC. 2 Commits.  Averages: Lacrosse - 18.5 ; Academics - 128 
--SJC. 2 Commits. Averages: Lacrosse - 14; Academics - 5.5.  
--Bishop Ireton. 3 Commits.  Averages: Lacrosse - 11.67; Academics - 52.33.[/quote]
