You learn significantly more during a defeat then a win and you can have fun during the learning process. I'd love to see you poll a bunch of 3rd graders - 8th graders to determine who is having fun if only Just to see your level of self importance in the process. I drove a suburban full of girls and they had a blast after a recent loss as our players and coaches could tell massive improvement from week to week. As someone who played in a final 4 in the late 90's dealing with wins and finding joy in losses is a major contributor to success. For your kids sake maybe talk to someone for counseling??? |
Fake news: I have older and younger girls in the program at MCelite the coaches are fantastic . Compared to BLC which is 90% dad coaches learning about lacrosse on youtube and then trying to teach! |
What a lazy, old and inaccurate take on BLC. BLC has paid head coaches, most of who coach at the high school level. The vast majority of BLC girls teams are having tremendous success. This is supported by win/loss record. This is supported by rankings. This is supported by how many girls graduate to Capital and other significant clubs locally. MC Elite, through years of mismanagement and neglect, has become a glorified rec program. |
There are parent coaches on the BLC WHite and orange teams right now...2024. Prove me wrong. |
How did the goalie score? Did she switch sticks? Otherwise, would not have been a valid shot. "SECTION 11. A goal is not scored when . . . [t]he ball enters the goal by the attacking team’s goalkeeper or their stick." |
These are not just defeats but morale defeating ass kickings. I agree with you on one thing: the lesson learned for these girls is that their coaches/director are absolute idiots for putting them in a division where they will likely not muster more than ten goals this season. Honestly, you sound like a person who is trying to will her daughter to excellence because you are deluded in thinking she is more talented than she is. MCE at 2028 would not win a game in the B division so why not start there? |
By your logic, MCE 2028 should play against Boston College or Northwestern women’s teams. Imagine how much “learning” could be gleaned from those beatdowns? Keep in mind, this is not against the MCE kids who are great. It is against psycho parents like the PP who feel that demoralizing victories are a good thing for their kid to experience week in and out (and the person who put them in the A Division where sadly they will continue losing to the best in the country). |
MCE currently has a goal differential of -49. But damn, are they becoming smart players. Must be so fun too learning so much. Final Four Mom is the best. |
So you think the 2028 coaches were right to place their team in the toughest division in the country when they were ranked 199th? |
I’m guessing the goalie scored and perhaps it did not count. The point, you twit, is that the Coppermine goalie felt so empowered by the lack of competition that she drove the field and scored. The fact that the goal did not count is immaterial but perhaps you used this humiliating experience as another teachable moment for the 2028’s insofar as it would not count? Damn. Always on step ahead, aren’t you? |
Lighten up Francis. Just a goalie dad who has considered various possible goalie goal scenarios. |
Well, I’m a 2028 MCE parent who is sick as $hit of watching these girls get humiliated week in and out. The fact that an opposing goalie shot and scored and that we only have 5 goals all year is sufficient indicia that we are out of our league. |
I would love to know what year teams you could possibly be talking about???!!! |
I get that. My daughter's first year of club many years ago was with a newly established club. She played games (as a goalie) where her team never advanced the ball beyond the offensive restraining line. Was facing 50 plus shots per game. She improved from the sheer reps but her teammates really didn't. We moved clubs. |
Have you talked with the coaches and asked them what the reasoning is for the team being in the A division? |
