This year, they decided ahead of time to take only juniors and seniors and a few select sophomores who they assume will move up. It's my kid's issue to deal with, but I could not feel worse about the coach and team now. Coach has separated players into JV and Varsity long before tryouts. Even if his instincts are correct, how can he possibly think those sophomores who don't make varsity are going to believe for one second that they were given a real shot? This school is constantly making moves like this regarding sports and they are not even strong.

That is why you are a parent and not a coach. Stay out of things you have no clue about. Dealing with insane parents is one of the worst parts of coaching. If your son is not deemed to be part of this team, stop blaming others.

NP here. While some parents are quite annoying, in most cases, around here especially, they are highly educated, successful people who just can't understand the bone-headed decisions that these lax bro coaches make. Being a lacrosse coach is not brain surgery. It's just not that hard to make good decisions, but so many coaches couldn't be successful at much else and get on bizarre highs because they have control over teenagers and axes to grind with their parents. Are you a coach? You should have at least a basic understanding that parents are paying a lot of money for their kids to be at these schools. They have a right to understand why coaches would lack such common sense.

The coach's motivation is doing what's best for his players and his program. Unfortunately, there are a lot of idiotic parents like you who think they know best as to the roster, who starts, who goes on a spring break trip, etc.

The fact that you cite that you pay a lot of money as justification as to why your opinion counts is why more and more coaches are quitting rather than dealing with nightmare helicopter parents. Let the coach coach and please shut up.

Everyone knows DCE 2021 is their only good team because 75% of the team are holdbacks.

That explains a lot and unfortunately, their best playing days may be behind them. Wonder how this impacts the club and coaches this year?

The "hold back" comment is completely wrong...are you an -ex parent of the team?

Didn’t realize DCE2021 played in the IAC...maybe we stick to the actual high school teams in the IAC on this thread??? Who cares bout a club team beyond the kids who play and the club owner.? They are damn good. Best in the area at their age. It’s not close. So what. All these posters worrying about something they have no influence on. Go root for your schools; that’s where the fun is!

Oh, and btw, pretty sure if you have a kid on your sons club team that went to either Mercy, or Mater Dei, 100% you have hold backs too. And don’t get started on the club teams from Baltimore. So, everyone is on same level whether you like it or not re age.

Enjoy the IAC season!

DCE 21 had a good run, but as the fall showed, their success was fueled by the all the impact players being holdbacks and overage.

It was being older rather than outright talent. Many of them made their Varsity squads as freshman (as they should since they were basically sophomores), but none of them had stud freshman campaigns.

Very good team, but they have come back to the pack. Never seen such a team with as many holdbacks.

Playing 2 events and winning only 1 of them (Long Island). Just awful. Clearly can’t play anymore.

I guess the crazy parents must forge those birth certificates for the age based events when they were younger. Damn lacrosse parents at Prep, Landon, Bullis, Whitman, Gonzaga, St. Andrews etc! Must be a big conspiracy by the Megill’s!

DCE 21 is run by a Bullis board member.

Strongly recommend you find a good therapist and the rest of us will go back to discussing the IAC season.

Not PP - nice deflection but it relates to IAC players and is interesting. Feel free to ignore or bring up something to discuss yourself

Any public schools scheduled to play any IAC teams this year?
