Take a look at who is doing their draws and how they win their draws and tell me their size is not advantage on DC. They got size and speed. |
This was my impression from looking at their insta feed, lots of small girls who are very fast and highly skilled. Agreed that they are a great team, though they don’t seem exceptionally tall. |
They look small on insta but when they step on the field with your girls, that's when you notice their size. |
My daughter is 5’6”, we have girls on our 2030 team who are 5’8”. The M&D girls aren’t taller, they are better at playing lacrosse. |
I’m looking at team photo on IG now, they got 5-6 that are taller than the female coach. Two things can be true, they are above avg in size and are great at lacrosse |
Likely holdbacks. |
More like a sideshow at this point. |
Our 2030 team also has at least 6 girls who are 5’6” or taller. M&D is not abnormally tall. |
I think you missed my point. There are certainly tall girls on the team but they are good because they are fast and tall. There are no slow tall girls on the team. MDU has more tall girls but they didn’t appear to be as fast. |
Not aware of this being a thing in girls lacrosse. |
Not as bad as boys but it certainly is happening, specifically at Baltimore privates and there more than a few that are on the big clubs. |
I think you may be missing the overall point, when people say "they have lots of tall girls" they are really saying those are holdbacks. Is that reality? I don't know, but that is what is being implied. |
It definitely happens in girls lacrosse. Wait for a USA Lacrosse tournament where the age restrictions are in play. You will see teams with missing key players, or not entering at all, because certain players are too old. |
They just don't enter. |
Is it true that M&D has 3-4 girls who would not be eligible by age? |
