No surprise that Stars lost to Pride. It’s too bad that Pride and Next Level don’t play this season.

Also, the MD teams are slightly more disciplined about not having as many poor shots. Not sure why. Maybe that's because they've been playing together for longer than our girls, and every year brings more experience and more discipline. Or maybe their coaches are better about reminding the girls that every bad shot is a turnover, and usually a goal for the other team. But I am not sure I want our coaches to harp too much -- it should still be fun at this age and not so serious. They are still young and their improvement over the years has been unbelievable.
If you are complaining about how physical MD teams are, wait till you play the top teams from NY, NJ, or Florida

Not wanting to add good players because good players make more mistakes is a hot take.

The rest of the teams in A and B that are uncompetitive should be in their own league or just not play travel at all.
We are right back to where we started on this board. To recap, DMV teams (NL, Stars, and Pride) currently have trouble competing in NGLL A division. Most logical solution is for some girls to move teams amongst the three to create a DMV "super team". NL may be out of the picture due to good players moving to Maryland teams this summer. Stars and Pride play Sunday morning and parents will drink a few bloodys then decide which of the teams will be the beneficiary of their collusion. Even though STJ has great facilities, Pride is likely the better landing spot due to being a club on the rise while Stars continues its decline after the corporate takeover. Did I miss anything?
Capital should start at earlier grades. Problem solved.
No. Very different model. High school clubs don't develop talent. Capital practices once a week -- doesn't fit middle school model.

The logic here is totally out of proportion. You know who else is uncompetitive against the top teams? Crush, that’s who. They beat everyone else and have not beat any of the top 4. And you know why? Because those top 4 teams are the top 4 teams in the country.
Get a grip!
Um The top 4 are very good, but not the top 4 in the Country. Eagle stix is the clear number 1 at this age and Yellow Jackets and Aces are as good as any of the top 4 as well.
Whoever wins will NOT be the favorite at NGLL championships Memorial Day weekend.

May want to calm down since you don't have a clue. The top 28 team is Eagle Stix out of GA. Then you have Aces and YJ A from NY also in the top 5. Are the top 4 Maryland clubs good, yes. But they aren't the top 4 teams in the country.
Capital does need a middle school program. Stars would no longer exist if that happens.
Precisely the point. Eagle Stix is the only game in town in Georgia and the girls play together from Kindergarten. Capital would attract the best talent at a younger age and coaches and it is a well run organization.

It’s always the folks who insult others who don’t have a clue. The most recognized ranking has Aces #1 and the 5 MD teams #2-5.

The ridiculous point you are trying to push is that teams that cannot beat these four teams are somehow deficient. I find that attitude ridiculous. But you do you.
Lol, ok there. I will break it down real slow for you.
Eagle Stix has beaten everyone they have played, including the top teams. Maybe loom at their schedule and not just a ranking. And it's obvious you haven't seen them play. They are the best 28 team out there. Also those rankings take into account games played and you have to have a certain number to be ranked. That's why you don't see the YJ A team in there.
Who said anything about deficient teams? The claim that the 4 Maryland clubs are the top 4 teams in the country is what is from your post.
