Don't forget, there's supposedly a third option that no one is discussing after the free clinic/info session.

Probably looking at the American Select roster and seeing 10 m&d dc girls and a measly 3 BLC girls on the roster and thinking why would we want to combine with a less talented team? Maybe the BLC parents should bring their kids over to m&d dc tryouts?


Maybe M&D DC should try beating BLC for the first time in 2 years before they start taking shots at BLC players?[/qu

BLC is soon over so this rivalry by MDDC is silly. I'm more interested in learning what either Capital or MDDC is offering the players for their registration for the year. What's the difference? Is it 3 fall tournaments, BWI indoor league or St. James and then 3-4 summer tournaments? Do the publish this anywhere online? Capital also does that clinic in the fall. Do they offer anything else besides Healthy Baller classes? Do they start recruiting talks?

Is the SSSAS coach listed here the same Bill Lewis from Capital?

Bill is the 27 Blue head coach. They typically rotate every three years, so not likely he will be the 2029 coach. Whoever is the 26 coach could be the 2029 but that assumes they still want to be coach.

While the M&D name is all they want to win, but make no mistake it is all about the M&D Black team in the end.


Totally. This should not be controversial. Clubs with multiple teams operate this way. For example, if one of the Capital Orange teams started beating Blue they would 100% move players up. It's just the way it works.


And if they don't, an implosion happens and people leave altogether.

See Heros 2026s...


Sorry but I’m out of it, can you explain more hero’s and what happened?


About 4 years ago, the Heros White team was a top 5 team, was even #1 in the nation at one point. Despite all of this talent, nearly the entire team left the following summer, 1 to hero Green, 3 or 4 to Skywalkers, 1 to M&D Black, and the rest to mid-tier programs. The next season Hero's White wasn't a top 50 team.

Why can’t people just be happy there are options?

it will be afterwards so they can get the leftovers....I really truly hope you make the better choice for your kid and do not go with your gut on what you think M&D DC will do for you...Pride 22 or 23s, Next Level 26s, many before you were also swayed and it did not work out for them... do not let that happen to your child


Cue the pride and stars parents who are afraid people will choose M&D DC and leave them with even less talent than tbe 28s had to choose from. The 29 pride team isn’t even in NGLL A division. If capital is relying on pride and stars to fill the spots it will struggle.


is that what you got from this post? Stars and Pride will be thrilled in M&D DC does not try out because it will leave more spots for them!
