I hear it’s generally 50/50 since their concern is not about the record. Good for development and they will be seen by the girls’ coach/school of interest especially when they are watching.

It will be interesting to see if this holds true for Capital for 2028's this summer. They are not in the top 2 brackets for the tournaments that matter due to their ranking. It is a delicate balance for coaches to give equal playing time but also be competitive in games so that the team is in the top brackets where most coaches will be watching. Capital is still a good brand name and coaches go to lower brackets to see players they are interested in, but if equal playing time will cause the team to fall further in the rankings they may have to reconsider.

Not in the top bracket…downhill from there. All of the Capital cheerleaders have been screaming about college recruiting and A brackets. Now you are saying they are in the B bracket and the next person says “who cares, nobody is looking”. The excuses just don’t stop, it is comical at this point.

Can anyone explain to me how all of this talk of the 2027 and 2028 teams is relevant to the 2029s? I don't get it.

29s are deciding where to play in high school so some on this board are trying to say that Capital is no longer a top club because of the current record of the 27 and 28 teams

So, then go with the brand new club? Still not understanding.

It is a debate - go with new club with no history but a name or go with Capital that has history and a name

Capital parent here. Go to Hero’s or M&D if your daughter has top notch game and you can make the trek. If not, try out for Capital and see if you make Blue. If daughter can’t make Blue, then it’s a tough call. Orange or another club. Frankly, that’s a harder decision than the first one.

That’s what they said about the 28s and look how that’s going. The 10 or so girls playing for Maryland clubs didn’t come back.

How would they know, Capital doesn't even know, it seems.

Ask how well that went for the 28s.

Learn from the 28 pride team who should have stayed together.

Several holes in your theory.

1) Not all of the best will tryout for capital
2) Capital Politics will keep them from choosing all of the best players
3) The M&D backing is much stronger than the pride reputation for recruiting, so it will be more enticing for them to keep a good thing in tact and not risk it on 1 four hour tryout that will ultimately take kids from a very bad stars 29 team and equally as bad pride 29 team who didn't even play in the A division for NGLL.

Yes, Capital used to have some highly ranked teams for recruiting. Used to.

If all the top 2029 players end up at capital they will go places!

The 27's are in the same boat, and probably on an outer field as a kicker. Capital seems ok with their new standing, so they'll probably just ask you to trust the process (at a lesser school).

Colgate here we come!

Capital has one player on Colgate. Capital also has players on Northwestern, BC and UNC (Hero’s has none) and these players receive more playing time than M&D Black players. Capital has players on other top 25 teams beyond these programs, including Yale, Virginia, Princeton, Hopkins, JMU, Penn, Michigan, Brown, Denver, UMass and Harvard.

We're talking about the future and what it holds for players in the last several Capital classes and beyond. This is the 2029 thread.

Capital enthusiasts have been gaslighting the MDDC team since the thread started, as they identified them as the top 2029 team and the one they wanted to go after to poach. Meanwhile, they've been ignoring that their brand and model has been taking a significant hit the last several years, playing out now as they've been told it would, as they cheerlead on the 2029 thread for getting-further-away top Capital teams from years before that. Tit for tat.

Someone asked if Captial has equal playing time in high school (which is something to consider for a 2029 when deciding which club to tryout for in high school). Someone responded that they typically do but wondered if it would change to make sure they stay in top brackets. That is how it is relevant.
