It’s odd that none of these teams will be there, but all the top NGLL teams (and many others) will.

Stars almost never goes to the top tourneys like Lax for the Cure, Lax by the Sea or Mid Atlantic. Your comment about not seeing almost all DMV teams not going to big tourneys is another reason why the DMV teams are not good.

Can the Pride parent with obvious hatred towards Stars just take a break for one day on Stars bashing. Getting old. You like your club. Wonderful. You realize there are politics in play with all these tournaments and who is playing right?

Enjoy the summer and let the girls enjoy playing the game they love.

Some clubs will spread out the tournaments for the youth teams to help avoid playing the same teams over and over when they are not even in recruiting age yet. It gets old especially now with NGLL. Missing 1 of the "big" tournaments won't hurt.

And yes, preference goes to teams/clubs that have been there before. Next Level is finding that out the hard way. Solid 27s and younger but no solid history and no connections.

Capital plays in Lax For The Cure and all pride A teams 7th grade and higher play in it.

Anyone can enter but long waiting list. If you aren't in by 7th grade, hard to ever get in. Preference given to clubs who play in multiple YJ/Steps tourneys (LLL, Lax For Cure fall, Lax By The Sea)

Stop being a weirdo asking where 6 grade girls are playing and just worry about the tournaments your own daughter is playing in.

they are all listed on their websites

Stars are at Live Love Lax, Lax is Life and the Crab Cake.

Pride are at Live Love Lax, The Trident, and Summer Origins.

Too many changes will occur over the next 2 years for this to even be something to worry about right now. NL has strength at middie, Pride does as well and Stars has a few good players at each of the 3 positions. However, you can't assume they all will be playing in 2 years or all tryout for Capital. Some may quit or move to a Maryland club. Not something to worry about now.

Capital has a good track record for recruiting but to a previous poster that all things even out is not really true. The better clubs are in Maryland for a reason. Enjoy the summer tournaments and have fun before it gets serious in a few years.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about their lackluster performance in the NGLL this year but they must have some pretty good players to even be in the A Division. Also curious to know if all are strong at a particular position what tryouts for Capital might look like in 2 years. I know not everyone will remain in the current positions come high school.

Here is the deal. Everyone thinks their team needs to be number one. The problem is that M and D and Hero’s always dominates when they are in elementary school and middle school. Then, when they all get to high school, it all evens out. Everyone needs to stop worrying about their team being the best and just let the girls enjoy the game. Because if you don’t, they won’t want to keep playing it

Thanks. We will take this under advisement. Now does anyone have any thoughts on the actual question that was asked?

NL, STARS, and Pride all have openings at every position. That is what is keeping them from being top teams. They all have 1 or 2 good playes at each position, but not a complete team by any means. Any of the 3 would take a top player with open arms regardless of position. If their tryouts are on different dates, tryout for all 3 and see which is the best fit.

How about the other half? Is it okay with you if they talk about Capital?
