It is what it is, and no one should be surprised when the results come out. Keep in mind that the Capital selection process began in the fall with the CAP program and fall clinics, and continued through the winter with additional CAP sessions and winter clinics. This spring has been more virtual with CAP, and now we’re entering the tryout clinic phase, leading up to tryouts themselves. Girls who have had opportunity to participate are positioned for success during this tryout window. If you haven’t been part of the process from the start, it will be more challenging. Its not impossible, but coaches will be less familiar with your daughter and therefore less comfortable compared to players they’ve been working with since the fall. Good luck to everyone.

You have zero knowledge on the plans of HG or MDU. Sounds like someone trying to protect their kids spot.

I’m sure any of these teams will take a player that will help them. I truly feel sorry for the Coppermine players. I bet a bunch of players migrate to other clubs.

Which Coppermine? There’s a bunch of them. If you’re talking of Coppermine Black, none of them are planning an exit

Capital has made this such a money grab for all of it. Keep the hysteria and actually raise it to another level with the academy and the tryout mayhem.
Can’t wait for this craziness!

If your NGLL season is over, straight to Cap orange.

I laughed

No, it’s not frowned upon, or probably even considered. However, getting noticed in advance can create an advantage in a crowded tryout situation. If a girl really wants to make this or any team she should do everything in her power to maximize her chances. This is all common sense stuff.

My 2028 daughter REALLY wants to play lacrosse at Duke. Would it be frowned upon if she does not attend their prospect camps this summer?

Go to the camps! Obviously.

Yes, there will be some politics. That’s life. There will also be some non-political “head scratchers”. In my experience, those will be very athletic girls with upside, who will ultimately be more interesting to college coaches than players who peaked too soon. That’s the ballgame. Welcome to the party.

Politics will be at play. Undeserving girls will make the team, and deserving girls will not. That’s the sad state of affairs in club lacrosse.
