NL has kept the 29 cohort with the same coaches for years, and it’s clearly not working. Do others think that shaking up the coaches every couple years in elementary and middle school makes sense so bad habits don’t become ingrained and favorites develop?
BLC's move over past few years to paid head coaches has been beneficial, resulting in some of the best-coached teams around.
Watching them play suggests otherwise…

The girls at NL (at least the good ones) will all leave for Cap Blue/Orange in a year. That is a fact.
Agree. Would not be surprised if some leave next year for Stars to get into the pipeline early.
Is it true that Stars is a feeder for Cap? i thought it was an "anonymous" tryout...
anyone know what stars 29 is ranked and where they practice?
The idea that stars is a feeder for Cap Blue/Orange is bogus. All the area teams are feeders and the team is a mix of players from different clubs. Composition is different depending on the year and quality of girls from each club.

I think you just leave the program. NL is great for young kids but the coaching does not keep up with other local programs past the 5th grade or so.
Looks like some of the Stars and NL players will be teaming up for American Select. Possibly an early opportunity to see how well they could play together. Anyone know the 29 Stars coaches?

Maybe some are developing, but the team isn’t. Lots of individuals and not a lot of team. I put that on the coaches.
Correct. This team is not improving as a whole. They beat Hero's White in NGLL 13-8 last year and lost last weekend 11-6. That's quite the swing.
What does that say about BLC? Almost exactly the same thing happened this weekend.
Lousy coaching (even after bad last coach left) and more “me” ball?
Wasn’t aware they had coaching problems

Do tell!
Lost to Integrity 12-7 but beat them 7-6 in the fall. Similar situation but not quite as big of a swing as winning by 5 then losing by 5. BLC also ends after 8th grade, that is known and the girls are all going to need new clubs. NL has a HS program and with the amount of focus on this team, they should want to develop and keep the team together. But that won't happen with the track they are on.

Agree. Would not be surprised if some leave next year for Stars to get into the pipeline early.
It would be very interesting to see the Capital track NL girls leave "me" ball and start to build chemistry with the Stars girls on a similar track playing more balanced lacrosse.
Don’t discount going to a Maryland team. Not all of these girls will want to play for Capital.
Assuming any of them could make Capital or MD teams…
NL has some truly talented players at ‘29 who just need better coaching. I’d say 3-4 are Cap Blue quality. But should leave NL asap to get better lax IQ.

Yes it would. That requires a philosophical change by the team that has to be implemented by the coaches.

All depends where you live but I would find the best fit for my daughter in terms of logistics and have her tryout there. Nothing to lose. And I agree with PPs re “me ball” - coaches of quality teams are put off by this. Shows lack of lax IQ and poor coaching.
