Thoughts on MC Elite?

While apparently a subject of morbid fascination for many, maybe the horse is dead? Leave it alone.

For what it's worth, I saw a team that played the whole game, tried hard, and seemed to have fun as a team, with positive spectators and coaches. That's pretty impressive under the circumstances. Wouldn't work for me, or apparently many of you, but I was impressed with the approach I saw from the team. Leave them be.

For the last time: not a single post has criticized the kids. Not one. They have called out the person(s) who made this decision and the ridiculous defense of it. I agree, leave the kids be, but stop with the deflection of criticism from the moron(s) who made this decision to supposed attacks on the players. No one has done that.

That is not germane to the present topic of who’s decision it was to place the then 199th ranked team (now 196th) in the most competitive A division in the country? The only plausible answer: a total moron looking to build the brand at the expense of the kids. Stay away from this club.

That team has no business being in the A division. They would barely survive in the B division.

Shame on the NGLL for letting them into A. The NGLL needs to put in some criteria on which teams can go into A division.

Shame on the NGLL? No, shame on MC Elite “brain trust” that wanted them in the A division. A more glaring example of incompetence I cannot think of.

Wins and losses are meaningless. Learning the sport at a young age under good coaching is key . You can lose by 8 goals and if the kids get better and learn the game who cares. MC Elite has girls playing at high levels in college, highschool because of their coaching. You can play on the B level at Bethesda with dad coaches who dont know the game and win more if your only looking at wins and losses. I'd argue those players are going nowhere fast. Not to mention just glance at the goal differential in NCAA womens this weekend there are more than 5 double digit victories. Does that mean the losing team isnt playing at a high level and learning valuable tools for the future?

General rule of thumb is that sports should be fun for kids in 8th grade. Also, I fail to see the lessons learned by putting the 196th ranked team up against the no.3 ranked team. A game in which the Coppermine goalie even scored. What is the lesson learned here? The reality is, they would learn a lot more playing with kids at their skill level or slightly above their skill level. I’d live to poll the kids on MCE how much fun they are having this year? Person who made this decision should be 86’d.

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."

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 feel the same.

As a parent of a daughter on the 2029 Midnight team, while it's been a rough season in terms of wins/losses, it's a good group of girls (and normal parents) with a lot of positive energy. There is talent on the team - they could just use some better coaching.

And a better club overall. The criticism leveled at MCE has never been about the kids or the parents. Sounds like a great group all around just wish you all had a better experience because it will be over before you know it.

Agree. Above all else I feel badly for those kids and families. The girls deserve better.

Are they naming individual people or kids by name because I sure haven’t seen any of that. What I have seen is just complaining about how badly the club is mismanagement the director and how she has killed a club that once thrived.

I know of no other club that is a division where most if not all of the other teams are ranked at least 100 spots above them. Of course, Coppermine, Pride, Hero’s and M&D are at least 183 spots higher. Why don’t you just admit MCE effed up royally and stop trying to defend the defenseless decision to put the ‘28s in A?

I'm willing to bet there is a lot you don't know. Just a cursory search of NGLL NY metro, long island , jersey midwest shows a very similar distribution. Again why the axe to grind against the '28 girls?

It's not about the girls on the 28 team its about the MCE club as a whole and the mismanagement and the refusal to see what's in front of them. The club put those poor girls in the A division knowing exactly what was going to happen to them. They should have been placed in the B and that would have at least given them the hope of scoring a few goals even then I still don't think they would have a win but at least the games in theory should be closer.

This persons brain has broken. Please seek help. Its just weird why you want to pile on this team.

My but you are stupid and I am a DP. You are the one who confuses criticsims of a club’s directors for attacks on kids; you keep saying their is an axe to grind - well, yes, maybe I am a parent and am sick of my kid crying on the way home who never wants to play lacrosse again; and you keep repeating that there are lessons learned? Well, what are they? Only lesson learned is something I saw pages back which is MCE directors are absolute morons.

They are not morons. They are ridiculously smart, making tons of money off of you all. They know how to sign girls up promoting their access to the best practice fields in Montgomery County. Implying there is an alliance or endorsement by Stone Ridge. It gives them legitimacy that is based on nothing but a rental contract. Oftentimes coaches will be shared by teams. Players too. Ask the directors what happened to their 2026 team. Or their 2030s. They will blame crazy parents for sure. It’s no fun and the people claiming it’s fun are not legitimately parents on the team. Unless they are also owner/coaches/director making money off the program. Zero skills development in this program. High probability that your daughter will quit the sport being subjected to MCE gaslighting that you see on this thread.

Parent here . My MC elite players are having a great time and learning a ton. We've lost some close ones to the best teams in the NGLL. Coaching is by far better than any of the parent coaching on BLC who commonly gaslights, saying they have real coaches when in fact the head coaches are parents on the team and they'll occasionally have a college kid kickin around balls in drils but no true alpha coaching other than a dad with a handbook on how to translate boys lacrosse into girls.
