[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Props to the M&D DC team for putting together a very good 8th grade team. I have been through this before and have an excellent understanding of the next steps, including how college recruiting works. There’s really no doubt which local high school club is the best for this. People are trying to build their brand and need to make certain promises. I get it.  My (good) daughter is not going to be part of this experiment. Good luck to you all. Hope you all can manage to make a decision you don’t regret [/quote]

If you stay with capital you are part of a different experiment of how long a club can survive on reputation alone, without adapting with the changing game. You won’t have the luxury of seeing the 27s and 28s recruiting before you make your decision, but you might be wise to look at how many capital girls actually play in college vs attend and are part of the team. It may not matter to you, but it is a statistic worth looking into. You also might want to consider how much your family is relying on any money. Capital finds most of their girls homes, but that may not come with much or any financial assistance. [/quote]

What adaptations are you suggesting they make? Outside of the lack of social media I am not sure what they need to do better?[/quote]

For a start, how about preparing girls to actually play in college instead of sitting on the bench.  The marketing of the commits versus what players actually do in college is a huge gap with the Capital model right now.  The same can't be said for the other big clubs like YJ, CT, MD.[/quote]

Let's not count your chickens before they hatch. The Capital goal, as well as the parents that choose that club, is to get their kids into the best school that fits for them. Do they want to have a great experience when they get there, of course! Do they have much control over that? Not sure. That has to do with the family choosing the right path for the player. If playing time is more important to you then the school choice you will be able to find a school with no problem. The schools that most families want are competitive academically and even more competitive athletically. [/quote]
