We know of girls trying several open practices and also considering capital, they will take the best offer they get. There should be a lot of movement this summer

There aren’t really 44 open slots, most if not all of the Middle School academy players have a spot penciled in so there are really only 14-15 slots.

There are probably 4-6 players that have one of those spots that also likely have a spot at an MD club so that could put another 4-6 spots in play.

Also, four of the 44 spots will go to goalies but I don’t have much insight into the goalie situation in the DMV.


BLC goalie and one of the STARS goalies (the one that made AS) likely have the blue spots easily. [/

I wouldn’t bank on this


There are other goalies who could compete but have so far declined, these might be the two best in the area who want to try for capital

No, but he is clearly part of the evaluation process. BLC and Capital have a partnership.

Ride the coattails and don’t ask questions. Although if recent history repeats itself, anticipate a regular Capital coach in rotation or (maybe with) a former Stars coach they are bringing over.
