Pretty sure that 0 went from BLC 26. The 2026 girls I know of were MC girls who went to Hero’s.

Did those MC girls make Hero's Green?

The recruiting results say different. Compare VA Metro to Captial B at 2023 VA Metro is much stronger than Cap B

So how do all these top Ball T More and Anne a Polis teams have roster spots open for DMV players if those areas are better feeders than DMV? How are the DMV players even able to make those teams?

4 players from the 28 BLC team went to Hero's Green. All their top players. Several others left as well. The 28 BLC last summer was a top 25 team. They are now a C level team and had a horrible time in the B division of NGLL.

So you're a dad of one of these BLC 28 players who made this move. It was a decision that was best for you in your individual year. I hope your kid has great success - I really do. A trend this does not make. I've been around this sport longer than you (I have a kid who went through the recruiting process and played at a D1 school.) When my kid was your kid's age, certain DMV teams were better than others. It's happened since, it's happening now, and it will happen when your kid is my kid's age. If your kid was on the BLC 27 team you would have stayed with the club and none of this conversation would be happening. If BLC has a weak 28 team, Capital 28s will likely have heavier Pride representation. Everything changes year to year.

As a blanket statement, this is not true. My moco daughter went with two friends to Baltimore club, had a great experience, met a bunch of great girls and now all play in college. At a maximum, it depends on the year, but its like that at every club, right? No club is perfect.

So you're not denying this happens at the MD clubs. I have been to hundreds of DMV games and have never seen unruly behavior from DMV club sidelines. Have seen it multiple times when DMV teams play MD clubs and the drunk MD psycho dads unleash at the refs and their own kids on a missed play. It's embarrassing.

More wall ball, fewer excuses.

Anonymous wrote:True that. My daughter and friend will refuse Capital A if they end up on same team w/ those "chosen girls". Not worth that drama. Hope Capital can see through it but not sure. Do the clubs share the roster before a decision is made? Or is it based on chatter only through the girls? Went through this w/ my son and not looking forward to going through this w/ my daughter now.

Translation: My daughter isn't strong enough to make Capital A so I need to explore other options.
