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.

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&DAnonymous wrote:So if you are going to skip Capital altogether, what is the best MD option that is a reasonable drive from nova? Skywalkers?
Good Luck getting recruited for D1 soccer from this area to top teams.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote: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.Anonymous wrote:There is a misconception that these girls are great players because Capital turned them into great players. That's not the case. Capital does very little with respect to development unless you want to spend a fortune at Healthy Baller. The girls were good athletes and likely went to some of the better lacrosse high schools where they received above average guidance and training. Capital merely provides the opportunity to be seen by college coaches. Training and development are left up to the athlete.
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.
