[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A word to parents whose kids don’t make cap blue. Play cap orange. No other dmv A team will be able to compete with the recruiting and brand of capital. Capital attends the best recruiting tournaments including the g8 that stars and pride and nc elite are not invited to, has the best brand and Gussie is very well respected. [/quote]

I would agree with this…. Capital is not strong their freshman year but the 26 orange team is still ranked much higher than other local A teams and also has the Capital brand behind them[/quote]

There isn’t one college coach out there that cares how a club team is ranked freshman year. Go to Capital Orange - do the work- get better and get seen sophomore year when it counts and you’re playing YJ, Mass Elite, etc. Pride is NEVER in the brackets with the top teams and often not invited to the biggest tournaments. [/quote]

For those who have DDs wanting to play in college simply go with the club that will provide your DD the opportunity to play the best teams. College coaches will not care about wins or losses, they will want to see a competitive game and how your DD performs agains this competition.

Do your homework, look at past schedules and performance of clubs, ask club directors what their plan is for scheduling and what commitment they are making to building a competitive team.

Be careful of misinformed posters like the one above who could have easily disproven their own post with a simple Google search. For example, just two years ago Pride’s 2023 team played the second toughest schedule in the country. The top three were:

[list]1. Yellow Jackets[/list]
[list]2. Pride Black[/list]
[list]3. Capital Blue[/list]

I’m not advocating for Pride or against Capital. But to state Pride NEVER plays top teams or in top brackets is not an accurate statement.

Again, having a daughter playing in college, if provided options, go with the club that will play the best competition.[/quote]

What source did you use to source the schedule strength of the teams you cite here?  [/quote]

Is there a way to find out where the 23/24 Pride Black girls got recruited to vs. Capital?

[/quote]

Inside Lacrosse maintains a database - but it may not be up to date. Interesting still... https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/girls[/quote]

Or check numerous threads on dcum where this topic has been discussed to death. Long and short is capital did/does much better in recruiting than Pride.[/quote]

Agree….separate threads cover this in detail.  Capital Blue 23 > Pride Black 23

Not to mention….Pride Black 23 parents managed most of their own recruiting.

But, not a relevant comparison. Seems like the Pride 27 team is pretty much disbanded….[/quote]

Agree with this post. Comparing the two is apples to oranges. Established recruiting history compares to one with zero experience.

As a PP noted both teams played tough schedules. Looking at US Club Lax the point differential for both teams their last season was +/- .5, so both were competitive teams in top brackets.

The recruiting experience of Capital and the lack of Pride’s was the difference for that class.

Can’t really compare those two 23 teams based on their final season. Pride Black was still fighting to get girls recruited while Capital Blue had most of the team committed by the start of the fall season. Big difference between playing inspired to get committed and simply playing to enjoy the last lap with teammates (and to avoid injury) after verbals are made. It’s why you often see Capital teams peak their second year when it really counts and trail their third year. Third year at Capital is pretty laid back because most Cap Blue teams are committed by the time their final season even begins. Curious what any comparison would be between both teams in their second years - though I wonder how accurate these stats even are. [/quote]

Really not much difference between these teams in their second year. Capital finished ranked 12th and Pride 17th. Capital had the 5th SoS and Pride the 13th. Both clubs competed in top brackets. Average goal differential that year was Capital +.5 and Pride +.8, so both teams were very competitive against the best teams.

Really the difference between the two teams in this class came down to Capitals long recruiting experience and Pride having none.[/quote]
