Do you know how many are local?

6 attack

That seems low knowing all the players in the area at the 28 age group versus other areas. More than half the top teams are Maryland/DC based. The other areas can’t compete at this age.

That's just for attack, I imagine some of the other positions might see more Midatlantic representation. That said there does seem to be some effort to represent other regions which might mean that some of the local talent gets left out even though they may be better than a player from another area.

Middies have 9 local out of the 56

Now that seems low as well. Guess it's not just attack.

Last year for 27s Heros had 11 girls just by themselves. Was probably about 1/3 DMV

Breaking news! Back of the Cage is back to normal. Hopefully the trolls don't come back as the board has been somewhat tolerable.

Looks like 15% local girls between the middies and attack. Anyone have defense and goalie numbers?

Interested in insight about how high school lacrosse programs work. My DD's program hasn't done anything yet, but I hear about other schools, other spring teams, boys programs, etc already getting out on the field or in the weight room. Is there a norm and if so what is it? Do public schools do things differently than private?

Our public school hasn't even held an interest meeting yet. In addition to our Fall practice sessions, I do have my daughter in specialized lacrosse training and a sports conditioning (speed and agility) program.

Personally, I do not know of any public schools doing anything lacrosse related in the "off-season". Some schools may participate in the Winter league thru Robinson Sports.

Most of the good public programs do off season work. Captains practices, strength and conditioning, indoor leagues, private lessons, etc. Most of these girls also play fall and winter sports to stay in shape as well.

Someone had posted 16 goalies already registered. 8 teams, 2 each team, does that mean Goalie is full?

That Heros/Capital tie is a head scratcher. It should have been a lot more lopsided of a score based on the fact that the hero’s team was mostly intact from last year except for additions that should have only improved them and that it was Capitals first time ever playing as a team combining girls from several teams and they play everyone equally.

Best said on another blog….Heros already had an excellent midfield. Did not see dramatic improvement. Could be law of diminishing returns. Hero’s needed to pick up a good draw specialist.

New additions did not help Hero’s weakness which is draw control

Heros is still shaking the cobwebs off and figuring things out just like everyone else. And Capital is basically Pride, who was a pretty decent team by the end there. Think they'll be competitive.

Doesn’t show well for Hero’s new additions if they tie a team that is playing its first game together with lesser talent. Hope they figure it out quickly

It’s only half of pride’s team. And Pride never would have tied hero’s last year.

Capital should be better than Pride since they added more talent to an already good group of players. Heros beat up on SW rather handily in the 2nd game, so I guess they figured it out quickly. The new additions contributed.

The DC message boards indicate this Capital team will be historically bad due to top players leaving the DC area for MD Teams, including Hero's and M&D. I don't think there is an expectation they will be better than Pride, who had been playing together for years, and never touched the top tier of teams.

I don't think there is an expectation they will be better than Pride, who had been playing together for years, and never touched the top tier of teams.

Greetings from the District. To the friendly Baltimore posters suggesting that Pride could never have played with Hero's last year, and never touched the top tier, and that those points suggest Capital Blue '28 won't be very strong, I have couple of facts for you:

--Pride played Hero's tough multiple times, losing by 1 or 2 goals, including by 2 the last time they played in NGLL last year;

--Pride beat Eagle Stix and Aces and won their last tournament together at Summer Genesis Origins last year. (Yes, yes, Hero's has a good case they should have been in the final, but Pride didn't make the rules). Pride improved all summer and finished ranked #7;

--Pride beat MDU East in NGLL, and tied M&D Black the last time they played them. Played Coppermine tough once or twice. They beat Sky Walkers more than they lost. Only Crush really had their number. Look, the big three or four in Baltimore were still stronger overall--no argument there--but to suggest that Pride couldn't touch them, or play with them, is not accurate.

--What does all that mean now? Capital Blue '28 is made up by about half of that team, but it's a brand new group that has had fewer than 10 practices with new coaches. They will be a top 10 team by 10th grade. Could they have been even stronger if 4-5 DC area players stayed home and didn't leave for Hero's or M&D, etc? Yes, certainly. But they will be a solid team, and a factor in the top brackets in the future, even if they get off to a slower start this Fall as new Capital teams tend to do. Look at the club's rankings and recruiting results for the 25s and 26s. The 28s are very likely to round into form, and the fact that they competed well in the game where they won some draws yesterday shouldn't really be a surprise.

Are you really going back 2 summers ago for a Tie with M&D in their last summer game? Pride parents really do think highly of themselves and their team. Good luck with that Capital team, you all will need it

I am still not seeing a strong argument for Pride with this run down. I can’t think of a single moment where anyone thought “wow pride is really getting good” I can’t even remember what their uniforms look like. So.. moving on to the next topic….

Hero's starters sat more than usual as far as I can tell, which presumably made the games closer than they otherwise would have been. Draw controls for Hero's were not any better than last year.

The Capital fanatics are on one today. In every thread over on their DCUM forum and now they’ve come here to brag about how the recruiting results of girls 2 years older them predict their own DD is going top 10.

Enjoy your scrimmage tie while you can.

Look, the big three or four in Baltimore were still stronger overall--no argument there--but to suggest that Pride couldn't touch them, or play with them, is not accurate.

--What does all that mean now? Capital Blue '28 is made up by about half of that team, but it's a brand new group that has had fewer than 10 practices with new coaches. They will be a top 10 team by 10th grade. Could they have been even stronger if 4-5 DC area players stayed home and didn't leave for Hero's or M&D, etc? Yes, certainly. But they will be a solid team, and a factor in the top brackets in the future, even if they get off to a slower start this Fall as new Capital teams tend to do. Look at the club's rankings and recruiting results for the 25s and 26s. The 28s are very likely to round into form, and the fact that they competed well in the game where they won some draws yesterday shouldn't really be a surprise.

The Capital fanatics are on one today. In every thread over on their DCUM forum and now they’ve come here to brag about how the recruiting results of girls 2 years older them predict their own DD is going top 10.

Enjoy your scrimmage tie while you can.

Impressive, fact-filled response. You really covered the full analysis.

How did the new Heros middie line look? Surprised they had issues with the new Capital team..

That Heros/Capital tie is a head scratcher. It should have been a lot more lopsided of a score based on the fact that the hero’s team was mostly intact from last year except for additions that should have only improved them and that it was Capitals first time ever playing as a team combining girls from several teams and they play everyone equally.

Doesn’t show well for Hero’s new additions if they tie a team that is playing its first game together with lesser talent. Hope they figure it out quickly

Hero's starters sat more than usual as far as I can tell, which presumably made the games closer than they otherwise would have been. Draw controls for Hero's were not any better than last year.

Hero’s doesn’t have “starters.” They do equal playing time. They constantly mix up their lines. Different girls “start” every game.

The two new additions definitely didn’t help them win more draw controls.

Capital should be better than Pride since they added more talent to an already good group of players. Heros beat up on SW rather handily in the 2nd game, so I guess they figured it out quickly. The new additions contributed.

The DC message boards indicate this Capital team will be historically bad due to top players leaving the DC area for MD Teams, including Hero's and M&D. I don't think there is an expectation they will be better than Pride, who had been playing together for years, and never touched the top tier of teams.

Greetings from the District. To the friendly Baltimore posters suggesting that Pride could never have played with Hero's last year, and never touched the top tier, and that those points suggest Capital Blue '28 won't be very strong, I have couple of facts for you:

--Pride played Hero's tough multiple times, losing by 1 or 2 goals, including by 2 the last time they played in NGLL last year;

--Pride beat Eagle Stix and Aces and won their last tournament together at Summer Genesis Origins last year. (Yes, yes, Hero's has a good case they should have been in the final, but Pride didn't make the rules). Pride improved all summer and finished ranked #7;

--Pride beat MDU East in NGLL, and tied M&D Black the last time they played them. Played Coppermine tough once or twice. They beat Sky Walkers more than they lost. Only Crush really had their number.

You are referring to the 2029 thread, I think, and the notIntelligent back and forth about M&D DC on the verge of becoming the club's flagship, which is rightly getting some pushback from the locals there.

The 2028s are having a very normal discussion today about the weekend lacrosse games with none of what you are suggesting . The 2029 forum is a different story.

Not surprising after seeing some of the 2029 nonsense on BOTC as well.

Yes, the 28 parents over there are definitely known for all their very “normal” conversation.

Good luck to everyone this Fall Tournament Season. Remember the girls are still not getting recruited yet but it’s a great opportunity to prepare for their Spring HS tryouts and season.
