Hopefully the coaches assured them they’ll have playing time. Can you 4hrs to and from practice to sit the bench?
Anyone going to a top 5 team in the country isn't going to just sit the bench. These clubs only take 1-3 new players a year and that's with the expectation they are impact players coming in to play. This isn't like the DMV teams where anyone basically makes a team. When you go to a Maryland club, you have to be better than probably most of the current team and roster to stand out. Otherwise, they won't disrupt a successful team to add a player to just sit the bench and piss off parents, players etc.
If Stars 2028 had players better than most on Coppermine and M&D, then they hid it very well.
They must be the masters of deception since both players made the MD teams.
The MD teams have some REALLY good players. Stars did not have any such players. But, they did have a couple of girls who were good enough to make the transition and will now be middle of the pack players on the MD teams.

Stars, pride, NL, and BLC all have talent just not a plethora of it. The top 1 or 2 from each of those teams are right up there. They haven't had the benefit of development like the MD program players, but the skills and potential are there.

The top 1 or 2 from any b team can compete with Md teams. BLC lost its top 1 to heros green last year. Stars had a midfielder that was just as good. Not sure who the other player was. Maybe an attack or d. The B level teams all have top players, just not depth.

Has there been any movement this year for the rising 7th grader 2028s? Did any of the DMV teams get significantly better after picking up some new players?
Rosters will come out later/early fall but a lot of times, it won’t be obvious which team will be great and it won’t be apparent until girls actually start playing. Some teams that were bad in early grades end up being really good by 7/8 and vice versa.
I think most od the 2028s stayed the same. No one picked up any game changers really. Stars lost 2 of their starters to Md teams.
What teams did they go too? That's not good for the program if they lost players already a few years before Capital.
Coppermine and M&D
Those are some good clubs, too bad Stars couldn't keep them.
Yes. Exactly.

Goes by fast and putting them in the right spot at the right club matters
Agree, if you aren't in a club that is developing properly, it will be too late when you go try out for Capital.

Haven't seen rosters yet, but I heard it was one of the top Md teams.
