[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a ‘30 parent and was intent on having my DD leave her team for an MD team but the Capital recruiting record is compelling. [/quote]

Move her to Maryland. Don’t waste the middle school years at stars and Pride. Come back to Capital if you want for High School. [/quote]

Making the top Capital team is not a sure thing and many or most players try to improve their chances by attending the pre-tryout clinics. This is expected for players on the DMV teams, so nobody is surprised when they show up. But when a player from a top MD team shows up at the clinics word gets out and this has the potential to create some drama. It becomes difficult to go all-in on the Capital tryout process while still maintaining good standing on the MD club. I’m not suggesting this never happens, but there are more complexities for a MD player than a DMV player. For a 2030 already on a top MD team it would be best to take the ride all the way to the end. If a player really wants to play for Capital in HS then staying on a (good) local team for MS is the best path.[/quote]

Given the Capital recruiting stats it makes no sense for a strong DMV player to move to MD. [/quote]

2 main reasons for a player to move to a MD team:

Pride and Stars.

For recruiting, you still have to be a strong player, being on capital doesn’t guarantee you anything.  As others have said, a lot of these players are getting little to no money from schools with rosters of 30-40+[/quote]

This shows you don’t know anything. Any player committing within the first month after 9/1 is getting money. Nearly every member of Capital Blue’s entire team over the past three years have committed within this timeframe. That may not be the case at whatever club your kid’s on, but it is very much the case at Capital. [/quote]

Getting 10% at Florida along with everyone else doesn’t make you special. Louder for those in the back.  You have to be able to play to get recruited. [/quote]

If that’s the best your team’s players are getting I feel bad for you. Capital players are getting way more than that. And there’s no question that’s happening bec those players are getting locked up within the first month. They have to be great players to get committed that early - if coaches only wanted them for their awesome grades those commitments would drift deep into the winter and following spring. Which isn’t happening.

It doesn’t matter how many times you say it - you’ll be wrong every time. I’d say do your homework but you’re here to influence not educate, we get that. Never said Cap players are special; simply challenging your inaccurate statements with facts. The second hand embarrassment we’re getting from your “Louder for those in the back” reference (which you use constantly) is real, but since you asked:

*Cap players committing within the first month are receiving scholarship offers on par with players from other teams across the country.

* Since 2023, Cap Blue teams have committed nearly every one of their players as of Oct 1.

* Over the past three years, Capital has committed 2X the number of players to both top 20 schools and ivies than Hero’s, and committed roughly 1.5X the number of players to top 20 schools than M&D.

Thanks cap groupie.  Come back here when the 27 and 28a go through recruiting.  Going to be real lackluster [/quote]As much as you purport to be and wear it on your sleeve, you are not a professional talent evaluator and projector for 8th and 9th grade girls lacrosse.  
Hope you have a side gig.[/quote]
