There is no drama. The team will add 1 or 2, maybe 3 standout players like most m&d teams do and they will continue to be amazing. Unless girls leave, there isn’t going to be massive turnover on that team.

I’m not sure the poster mentioned anything about the team not adding girls or not continuing to be amazing. Perhaps I read the post incorrectly 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wrong. My sister‘s daughter is on that team and attends SPSG (as does my own DD), which is why my daughter got the invite to attend. I was already well aware of backstage team stuff but to see things play out for myself in real time, and hear that others saw all that I was seeing, was definitely unexpected. Lastly, if you were there as I was, and don’t know what I’m talking about, then you must’ve had your head in the sand for the entire practice.

Can you spell it out for the rest of us, what happened?


Also some advice, don’t be the + one, that is to say, the teammate of the player that the club really wants and is forced to take your kid so the star player has a car pool buddy or built in friend.

It typically does not work out.

MnD’s success speaks far more than any of the gossip on this site.

Agreed. Not an M&D parent, but be honest..parents are crazy everywhere. That’s not news.

Omg, you’re just talking about the crazy parents saying insane stuff on the sidelines to each other??? Haha, that is pretty typical with elite teams, nothing to clutch pearls over. I thought you were talking about player and roster drama.

I think there’s high level drama on all of these teams when you approach and especially are at this critical year. As someone whose daughter is younger and there’s drama there too approaching tryout time, it just gets exponentially worse and ends up tapping into the worst tendencies of parents (and sometimes kids too). It’s with all the top teams where insiders have so much to lose and outsiders have so much to gain. Then also with lesser teams because the drama around who is abandoning ship and paranoia around not being only ones left on a drastically weakened team.

Why hint at it? Just say what you saw and heard…
