True and they base the rankings on the standard criteria: what bracket teams play in and wins, losses and scores. Capital is clearly not doing as badly as someone posting wants people to think.

ATTN: ANYONE THAT HAS NOT COMMITTED TO CAPITAL LACROSSE CLUB YET
Capital Lacrosse Club's entire approach can be accurately summarized by the above post. We are a dynasty, you should feel lucky that we are allowing you exist in our presence, club losses are mounting--it doesn't mean anything anyway, if you are against us you are a nasty hater, can't get recruited--it is the parents and players fault. Personally, I also have a softball player and friends have kids in travel soccer and baseball. None of these come with the bad stories that are constantly coming out of Capital.
Wins against competitive teams over the last couple of years are almost nonexistent and recruiting is awful. However, the number of for pay add on services and events continues to grow exponentially, along with pressure to participate in high-priced private lessons given by the directors.
If your kid is '25, motivated and wants to play competitive lacrosse AND you would like them to enjoy their high school club experience, DO NOT CONSIDER CAPITAL A GOOD OPTION.

Don't think anyone is going to seriously buy the comparison between CLC and Bama/Duke/Yankees.
More believable if you pick a sports franchise that was once dominant but got a new Director and Deputy Director then tanked, never to win another significant game again.
