Maybe I’m old and not completely in touch with all the various social media outlets, but under no circumstances should a coach say anything negative about another team or coach on social media. Speaks volumes about the Visi coach.

It also implies her team should find motivation in beating another team’s coach. The game should be about the kids - not the coaches.

Both coaches are batshit crazy! Both of them are screamers. They both yell at the refs and have all sorts of sideline antics. It really is a shame to see coaches yell and scream on the sidelines and then continue the rampage on social media.

To the Visi parent who screamed at the SR coach: That seems to be you MO - yelling on the sidelines, ranting about this or that. You are what’s wrong with the game. You’re the poison in DMV girls’ lacrosse. You’re an embarrassment to my Visitation. And please don’t drag that classless sass up to your daughter’s college next year. No one wants to hear it.

I guess people can perceive the same things differently. What I saw yesterday was a coach, KJ, who never stopped shouting and screaming and giving direction, flapping her arms, gesturing and pointing girls into position. It was funny watching them looking at her like they needed her approval for every step. The only thing she didn't do was her signature stick check. She must have forgotten with all of her other antics.

True. She was too busy beating Visi in another ISL championship

I am so confused. Visi parents are upset because of how the SR coach acted towards her players (sounds like she was coaching them intensely).

Disclaimers: I am not the PP of that post. I was not at the game but my wife was. Our daughters are graduated from Visi.

Here is my assessment: if one of my daughters was on the receiving end of that level of "intense" behavior then my wife and I would have been meeting with the AD before the game was over. Our daughters are no buttercups and we have high expectations; however, there are some behaviors that are not acceptable to us from a coach to a child. We expect coaches to display the same level of respect to our daughters that we expect them to show to their coaches or any other adult. All.the.time. Every.time.

wow, thought this was a thread about the Stone Ridge game. Only a Visi parent would call out the style of the coach of the team that just won the 2019 ISL Championship over them, for the "every single time that they have played each other in the tournament." The game was only tied for 10 seconds. Hoping you are related to the poor defender who found her self lost on the field in the 9th second of the game, looking about as sad as you sound as she watched the ball hitting the back of the net. Don't worry though, the mean girl that took the shot is graduating and won't be back---not---Saints are only graduating 4 starters and there are about 25 girls that are fighting to take their spots. Next year might be another painful one for you, with no stick checks needed, again

lol said the sssa parent who just lost to VISI last week? You were quiet then. But no ones getting on you for gloating. On Mother’s Day. Let’s hope your daughter is nothing like you.

I didn't post the above but pretty sure the point is that it pays to know when to be quiet, which is not something Visi parents have ever been known for, right? Only thing most will remember from this is that St Stephens won the championship and Visi parents are complaining about the Saints staff giving their players in-game coaching and being known to ask for stick checks (stick checks are requested all the time by smart, professional coaches at the high school and college level), which wasn't used yesterday because the game wasn't close enough to warrant. By the way, if Saints coaching is so bad, why are you people complaining about it. Imagine if the coaches read this and start making self-corrections and come to work one day doing a good job. They are all ready beating you on a regular basis. You have only won one game, ever. Do you really want to chance having to play a well coached team, if you can't beat the one that they are putting on the field now. Why not maximize your chances for success? You could say that helping them get coached up would be like sending all of your best players to a rival team. That doesn't really work here because all of yours are graduating

We’re all pathetic here. Can’t we just say it’s good lacrosse and be done? You won some, you lose some. It’s great both teams are competitive. MOVE ON

Not the poster you are responding to but you have just confirmed why no child of ours will/would EVER go to SSSAS. You are a bad look for your school.

Until parents of Georgetown Visitation players stop attacking the coach of SSSAS both at games and on social media, we will not be done. And as much as move on sounds like great advice, I bet you personally know the offenders from your team and have even idly watched this stuff. So sure we can stop but the first post on this thread was written by a Visi parent and it calls out a specific person. I am sure she doesn't really care, but it is still not cool and not acceptable. So, if you want to start policing your own parents, then yeah, we can move on. If you can't, don't be shocked at other people's reaction.

Not sure if it is worth going to combat over but I do find it confusing why Visi parents find it acceptable to attack another teams coach but get upset when they are faced with, an admittedly detailed account of how that coach has been successful against them. I have personally been at games where a parent/s were yelling at the SSSAS Coach by name. Seemed borderline illegal and definitely crossed the line to where they should be asked to leave the campus. And for social media, the post at the top isn't the first time that someone from Georgetown Visitation did this on this forum. So, probably clean your own house before you include anyone else in the let's get along speech.

I rarely post on social media and could honestly care less if anyone here likes or dislikes what I say or think. My kids have graduated from high school and college and unfortunately, I haven't seen any games this year. However, I just have to ask how you read this thread that started with a direct attack on an individual with graphic comments and then concluded what you did. Are you saying, I don't want my kids going to that school because the parents from our current school (Georgetown Visitation) are going to attack her coach? After rereading this post, it actually seems like you are one of the attackers.

I will admit though, I am very upset that you made the decision on not attending. I feel like we may have missed an opportunity to increase the quality of our community both academically and athletically. If there is anything that I can do to change your mind, to include arranging a tour of the campus or an academic briefing, please let me know. Fortunately, even without your interest in making future applications for admission, year groups will still be filled to capacity with quality students. And though you will think it is a petty of me, just letting you know, any of your daughters that play lacrosse, will never have the experience of taking a photo with any future ISL AA Lacrosse Championship banners, unless of course they are photo bombing from way in the background during the awards ceremony.
