[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many girls in the DMV actually have the talent to be consider for one of the 20 spots on CLC Blue?

More than likely, 10 of the spots are just obvious. And there are maybe 20-30 girls competing for the remaining 10 spots.

I honestly don’t think it’s that complicated. It’s a running sport and I suspect that the sprints immediately screen out half the girls or even more.

Exactly.  They did the sprints within the first hour at the Capital tryout and likely crossed off a bunch of girls right there.[/quote]

Its a hard truth to take for some but that's just the nature of the game and reality.  Speed is a huge factor and sets the elite/top players from a lot of "good" lacrosse players.  As you and others all know/said, as you move up the ladder or pyramid, the pool of top players continues to shrink.  Athletes with speed will give the edge to stand out among a crowd etc.  Just the reality of playing at the highest levels.  It's ok not to be there as there are lots of places and levels for kids to continue to play.

To the earlier poster above, I'd agree that outside of the top players from Pride/Stars/BLC, you are talking about maybe 10 spots with 20 top outside girls that can contend.  Everyone wants or thinks they can make Capital Blue and there's nothing wrong with that, but reality is the pool is actually pretty small. [/quote]
