[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally all clubs focus in their A teams more than their B teams, but girls on the B teams still play varsity lacrosse and may be recruited by colleges.  Rhe Stars B team does very well in both their NGLL  division and in tournaments.  My daughter plays for a Baltimore club and there is significant movement between the A and B team, in both directions.  Sounds like the prior poster has not quite gotten over her daughter being placed on the B team.[/quote]

Eh, my DD plays for the blue (A) team and the poster was pretty much correct.  At Stars there is very little movement up to blue.  Usually only one girl each year.  Once you are put on black (B) its very hard to move up to blue.   OTOH more than one blue player gets moved down every year, replaced by the one black team member and new girls who try out.  So basically, its hard to get a spot on blue and hard to keep it.  You have to be very good and dedicated.  That said, there are always weaker players on defense on the Stars blue team (girls whose skill level is really deserving of black) because at this age the weaker players tend to gravitate to defense.  That begins to change a little as the girls enter high school.[/quote]

Interesting, my observation has been that coaches tend to stick the weaker kids on attack, just because they tend to do the least running, amd everyone can throw and catch by middle school.  Of course, there are also very strong girls on attack as well.[/quote]

That makes zero sense.  Attackers have to have the best stick skills - catch, pass, and shoot with incredible accuracy or a team will suck.  Plus they have to be able to move really well to dodge and get to goal.  Defenders need speed, more accurately quick feet, but they dont need any advanced stick skills at all as long as they can scoop and throw.  I have never seen any girls team put weaker players on attack.  [/quote]

Borh my daughter’s middle school A team (at a  Baltimore private that is nationally ranked) and her club put weaker players on attack so it certainly happens.  But most girls in Baltimore have good stick skills since they start so young.  With four attackers on the field, one weak player In a rotation isn’t that big a deal.[/quote]
