[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the 4th or 5th year in a row that Capital has taken the majority of their top team from Pride. What does Pride do for development that the other teams don’t? Seems like the other clubs should be doing better. [/quote]

Take kids from Great Falls, McLean, Arlington and Vienna. That’s the gist of their development program. [/quote]

And pay for extra training outside of practice with private lessons, camps, and conditioning. [/quote]

All the series players are doing these things, not just Pride kids. [/quote]

And Pride actually pays Healthy Baller to come in and do speed and agility in the Fall and Winter twice a week, separate from their team training.

Pride has the best reputation at the 4-8th grade level. They do a good job of getting kids excited when they are young. Look no further than the Cap'n Cookie truck that pulls up after some clinics - smart move. All of the better kids want to play there so they are ahead from the start. As a poster above mentioned, they cater to Mclean, Great Falls, Arlington, etc. which are traditionally the better lacrosse areas in NOVA. Alexandria has some talent but not compared to those areas. Pride does very little to "develop' kids, they just get the better kids early on. Many have parents or older siblings that played lacrosse and generally come from "lacrosse families". Their model is the same as Stars and everyone else. Let's not give them too much credit.[/quote]

Totally this.  It isn't Pride, it's the kids they get.  But even some of the "lacrosse" families I know are finally leaving Pride behind this season.

Many would LOVE to leave. But where do you go unless to a Maryland club? That is the root issue - none of the NOVA clubs are good.[/quote]

Nailed it.  The NOVA club scene is a total disaster.  None are good and now the Capital progression is on the decline.[/quote]

“None are good . . .” Didn’t Pride finish ranked no. 7?[/quote]

Is this going to be the same old stale argument every time reality is put out there that the club lacrosse scene in NOVA isn't good? [/quote]

That and the fact that Stars and Pride 29s are ranked top 20 as is YJMA for the 30s. DMV / NOVA will continue to produce good talent that will gravitate to Capital and get recruited to great schools.  [/quote]

Agree with this.[/quote]
