[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Precisely why everyone tries out for Capital. [/quote]

To be fair, most of those girls would be going Ivy or High D1 regardless of where they played club in high school.[/quote]

This is just not true. [/quote]

Agree. I am not sure the poster is making a general statement or if this is related specifically to the class of 2023. Either way it is not accurate. In general this is like saying you could have your DD play for a club like Virginia One and still go Ivy or high D1. It’s possible but not likely. You would not get the same exposure playing in the top tournaments, in the top brackets, against the best players. You would not have the reputation of a club who’s very foundation was built around being the only elite high school option in VA and you would not have access to a club director, recruiting director or coaches with close ties to college coaches. Think about the advantages of this environment compared to those clubs with little to no history or opportunity to showcase against the best teams. Again, it’s possible all of this is not needed, but the likelihood of going Ivy or high D1 is greatly diminished w/o it.

If you are talking specially about the 2023s you would have to believe half of the Capital 2023 Blue team would have been able to achieve the same outcome w/o being on the Blue team or playing for another club. Remember Pride players generally make up almost half of the Capital Blue teams. The 2023 class is the lone exception where Pride players opted to stay together. Had they tried out for Capital there was a good possibility close to half of the girls who made the Capital Blue 2023 team would have played elsewhere. Do you think they would have had the same outcome w/o being on Capital Blue or leveraging the Capital name, history, reputation or coaches? It’s possible but not likely.[/quote]
