Just because they said yes doesn’t mean they are committed. There is a ton of negotiations going between families and different clubs.
What negotiations? This isn't NFL free agency.
This comment shows you are clearly new to lacrosse, especially at the higher level. Initial offers are made after tryouts, however, most clubs, especiall mid-tier clubs hold spots back hoping to grab some girls who are cut from top teams. Also, like airline reservations, most clubs extend more offers than spots, knowing some kids will make a top team. Also, kids who didn't make any of their top choices are also having special tryouts with new clubs.
I doubt any girls clubs except MAYBE heros and m&d have anything close to a locked roster at this point.
Cool story....That's why M&D dominates and dysfunctional clubs like Pride lose.

Any 2026 and 2028 positions NOVA RED slots available?
Curious to why you'd go there after reading this thread?
I am capable of reading past haters. The 2026 team is one of the best in the nation! They have to be doing something right!
LOL if you say so. Good luck staying there for HS.
To be fair, the Pride 26s just won a national championship.

Look to a club who knows how to develop. Look to a club who helps girls navigate the recruiting. Ask around and see if the clubs only focus on the top 6 players and how did they do with the bottom half? Did they help the families and players? Was communication good? Did they send kids to the same camps? You want a program that cares about all its players? Not just mere words but honesty. DC is a small world. Ask around.

I’m not sure I’d call them “haters” but maybe people who have “been there and done that” sharing their experiences. Good luck to you!

The fact that club try outs have been moved to the middle of the summer season is frankly disgusting, showing nothing but crass and mercenary intent. Any club owner or coach who wants to force young girls and their families into committing to a program without allowing them a chance to consider all their options clearly cares far more about themselves and their income stream than about the players. It’s time for parents to push this kind if person OUT of kids’ club lacrosse.
Every club had their tryouts the same week - YJ,CLC,Pride, M&D, Skywalkers and so on. You seem to only have a problem with one club.

Regardless of whether or not it is ridiculous, it was the case this year. All of the major clubs have had their tryouts. If you are interested in a specific club, you can email the director to see of there is space on the team and if they are still taking players. The tryout dates have been posted for a while.

26 is a great team. Rumor from back of cage says they even got 3 hero’s white to travel south. Who knows what is true but I have heard and seen 26 Pride is a great team. They had tryouts this week hard to imagine open slots but good luck.

You seem a little out of the loop if you are asking about open spots when it is almost August and all of the local clubs have had their tryouts. Your assessment of the club might be seen with some rose colored glasses.
