Are they all fully formed upon entering 9th grade? Maybe Capital should get some credit too.

Yes that is true. Thursday


Any idea how many players they are looking for on the 26 team? I know some got invites.

Everyone has to remember, Capital has an official agreement with BLC and Stars. They develop them, and Capital gets them recruited

Even though it doesn’t have an official agreement, Pride seems to be conceding and giving the best to Capital due to their recruiting connections

Plus, KJ stays involved with recruiting for many of the Capital girls

Stars eventually may get to 3rd on this list behind the two Capital teams in coming years...


Stars actually has to do it on the field. All the boosterism on these threads isn't going to get it done.

It's good marketing, for sure, and maybe a new parent dropping in could get influenced. A more fulsome look at track records of the respective clubs high school age teams' performance, historical ranking, recruiting, etc. would be a better approach for those considering which club to join.

I would offer that the parents and the player's doctors are the decision-makers on head injuries. In my experience with the Virginia clubs, all of them prioritize the health and well-being of the player. Even the NFL is learning. I believe it's handled appropriately at this level.

In my experience with travel soccer, “by Wednesday morning” could mean anything from Monday night to three weeks from now…


I bet the didn't say which Wednesday....
