Many areas outside of DC are churning out higher quality players. We’ll get one here and there, but the game is coached much better in other hotbeds.


DC is not a lacrosse hotbed. Baltimore area is.


Long Island is bigger (and better)


So is Philly but are you going to commute to ether 2x a week for practice? Dumb comment.


Ether you think Long Island is better, ether you don’t. Ether way, you lose.

They are all decent and all cost money so do what works best for you and your kid. You can’t go wrong with Capital, Skywalkers, Heroes, M&D

It is what you do on your own time and your own training that always elevates a player’s game in any sport especially if trying to go D1.


I think the point was Capital really gives you next to nothing in terms of training and development, especially compared to other travel sports. It's 90% on the player to get better. My son plays travel soccer, and they train/practice as a team year round multiple times a week with great coaching. Capital looks nothing like this.


What is the price comparison between Capital and your travel soccer? Is the difference in practice/development reflected in the cost?


Capital = 4K
Soccer = 3500 +/-

The difference is soccer includes everything a player needs to excel. LOTS of practices and tournaments with solid coaches. The Capital base price gets you in the door but then you have to pay for actual targeted seasons. It’s borderline robbery. Get to Maryland if you can.
Good Luck getting recruited for D1 soccer from this area to top teams.

No question going to a great school to play lacrosse is a win win. But accuracy in bragging for Cap players on the field should also be accurate.
