Capital 29 parents - try not to run them out of town after a season.

I think Stars parents ran the assistant coaches out of Stars. Surprising pool Capital is choosing from.

It’s on mddc ig but I heard kcm is actually not a coach but a support staff. Spewing fake news.

Oh well if you "heard" it then it must be correct vs an actually coaching announcement on Instagram that has her listed as a coach. The same announcement has a section where they list support staff with two people listed so....if that were her role...they would have listed her there.

It’s a final ranking…meaning it doesn’t change. No matter what hate you continue to spew, it doesn’t change what that team accomplished this year.

I know everyone loves data, so here are the end of 8th grade rankings over the last several years for the top DC-area team:

2029 M&D DC #15
2028 Pride Red #7
2027 BLC Blue #7
2026 Stars Light Blue #7 *
2025 Pride Red #13

* 2026 class also had #9 Pride Red

This data is very interesting. Would these teams have been better off staying together? Cap 27 and 28 haven’t had anywhere near those rankings/successes. This may not bode well for 29’s based on this history.

Cap Blue 2029s will float around the mid teens in rankings, which is kind of on the top bracket/second bracket line for tournaments. The MDDC team would have had similar success if it stayed together, so not really an upward move for the MDDC girls but the BLC girls should be thankful. If not for the MDDC girls coming to Cap Blue, the team would be just BLC with some other randoms thrown in, and they would never get into the top 20 and be playing dookie teams in third brackets.

Even with this public data available, the best kids from MDDC and BLC CHOSE Capitals (blue and orange) over MDDC. They trusted the system and the track record that matters more than 8th grade rankings- elite coaching and college recruiting. MDDC had a good run this year, but NL last year finished ranked 15th with half the talent on the roster. The only chance MDDC had was to keep at least some of their top players, but even the legacy loyalists left (or tried to leave seeing 80% of the team at the cap tryouts). They must have seen enough of the club to want to get out. Capitals will continue to do what they do well and MDDC 2029 will be like 2028 pride (#79), stars (#206) and MDDC (#224) and fall into the B (maybe even C) league.

Here’s the pipeline for MDDC:
2030 #109
2031 #66
2032 #65

Future not looking bright for the club. They really need a hard reset 180 or Robinson is going to have severe buyers remorse just like Stars is having with MCE.

Here’s the pipeline for BLC:
2030 #10
2031 #15
2032 # 8

Those Capital teams at those age groups will be heavy BLC girls + stars

The BLC 33's just won the NGLL for a second year in a row. Clearly that is a talented team as well. Unless NL/MDDC pays for another team to artificially form, they will be a distant 2nd or 3rd to BLC locally for the foreseeable future.

No better than 3rd with Rebels already ahead of them for 32s and 33s.

You’re talking about MnD DC being no better than 3rd, correct?

Correct
