Capital bound if pride can’t get the recruiting part of their club fixed.
When I say that a top to Mid major signee. Not some bottom feeder in So-con league.
Different dynamics on the 2026 team and less turnover with coaching and lower level politics. But KMG does need to look in the mirror and try to figure out why over 40% of her 2025 players across the three teams left. Recruiting pipeline is critical and so is winning. Neither Pride nor CLC Blue set the world afire this weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Summer Club Champs. Both programs were under .500.
Meanwhile CLC Orange 22 came in second in their division at the Mid-Atlantic, only loosing to YJ in the championship game after beating them earlier in the day.

2 things I've learned from Club lacrosse. Too many clubs and they are all run with incompetence and 1 thing in mind- $$$$$$. Sad state of affairs.

Where did the 40% go? There are only 2 CLC teams and only a few would be strong enough and/or willing to drive to the Baltimore clubs.
I thought chatter on this board was that YJ wasn’t going to be a good club either?
Other Va clubs. Stars, YJ mostly and some closer MD clubs than Bmore.
It's not. YJMA is playing in the lowest divisions of any tourney and still getting smashed in most of them. They should nickname YJMA the "Madoffs".
Grass is always greener.

I thought the 2023 Black team was supposed to be a top 10, but looks like they went down in flames this weekend. What happened?
More like Top 30 team based on this weekend. Nothing within 5 goals of the top-12 teams they played.
According to TM, CLC 2023 Blue beat one top ten team (Hero's Green) and only lost by 2 to the team that won it all (Yellowjackets). Looks like much more competitive.

Hard to field a team when almost half the team went to Capital. Add in Krazy KMG and you have a circus. Why put up with that?
OMG. They didn’t go to Capital YET! The season hasn’t officially ended until the last tournament is over. This was a petty move by KMG to “exact revenge@ on those poor girls. She’s done this to kids before - “kicked them off a team” before the last tournament because they were going to a different club the following season. The parents paid for this tournament and I’m sure the girls would have liked one last hurrah together. Really crappy move.
Very classic move. It’s hard to believe grown adults can act this way and it’s tolerated on any level.
Yep just like grown adults holding private tryouts and promising spots to girls if they go as a group (and don’t offer spots to other girls). I don’t know why adults would get involved in children’s sports if, at the end of the day, they really don’t care about the children.
Oh please. This is a false equivalency.
The tryouts were “private” because KMG has threatened Pride Red players if they try out for Capital they will no longer have a home at Pride. This isn’t heresay - it happened to my daughter. And no outcome was promised to these girls by Capital. You are spreading false stories. Just stop.

Sad that what was once a quality club is falling quickly. Yes, they can turn it around if they recognize the weak links in the program. But if they intend to add HS to the club (as I have heard) they better turn it around ASAP. Other more established, well run clubs will be the landing zone for the girls coming out of Stars who will not want to stay to have their lax track go down in flames if they stay with Stars. Yes, I am a current Stars parent.
How were the Stars HS tryouts? Hearing that they are having 1 team made up mainly of Capital rejects and Pride White refugees.
Had a friends daughter tryout. She said it was a good mix of talent from STARS, PRIDE, MADLAX and METRO. She assumed only 1 team as well. Obviously if they tried out of Capital they didn't make it. But from what has been posting. That doesn't mean they are not talented if the fix was already in for Capital.
