[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any ‘29 M&D DC girls thinking about trying out for any of the MD teams?[/quote]I expect all of the top players to just try out for M&D DC. Plus some top BLC, though they'll try out for others. They won't tell you though if asked.[/quote]

Good lord - avoid Next Level at all costs. A few good players, but the M&D name is lipstick on a pig. Capital needs to step up as well. All in all, DMV lax should be a lot better. [/quote]

Agreed! Feel like the DMV lacrosse scene is great at bickering and spending lots of money on horrible training. Meanwhile, Baltimore kids keeps their heads down, have quality coaches, work harder and then beat the crap out of D.C. teams.[/quote]

You apparently don't follow the Baltimore lacrosse scene too closely.  Check out Back of the Cage Maryland if you want to see "bickering".  By the way, the "kids" the DC area "keep their heads down" and work just as hard as anybody.  The parents are a special in their own way though, I will give you that.

I will say that the dynamic in this area is unique.  High-powered and competitive families and kids, with limited spots on the top local team, which provides the only major option for top tier D1 recruiting in Capital.  Then you have the potential loss of talent from local teams to the national hotbed in Baltimore and the top 2 clubs in the country (and 3-4 out of the top 10), less than 60 miles away.  Top it off with the fact that Capital starts in 9th grade, and the mix creates a good deal of pressure, and lots of the intensity in the dialogue on these threads.  [/quote]
