[quote=Anonymous]Hi All!

Genuinely curious...so looking for helpful advice or please keep scrolling.

Our DD is in 3rd grade on the B team with one local club. The coaches are unimpressive. 
Last year she was also on the B team for a different local club and the coaches were also unimpressive.
Neither of the teams were parent coached.

We've seen the coaches for the A teams and they seem so much better.

I understand that our DD's skills do not match with A team players. But I truly believe if she was on the A team and got their coaching, she would become A team level.

What are our options? We already switched clubs once. Do we just pay for lots of private help (with a local college kid or clinics etc) and hope eventually her skills catch up and she can make an A team? I just think that to become A team material she needs to be surrounded by other A team players and playing in A team games so she can learn and get more lacrosse IQ if that makes sense. She wouldn't be a starter and that's fine with me.

Also...the other night our team was practicing next to a younger boys team. The coaches were focused and serious and the boys were scrimmaging. Meanwhile the girls on DD's team were just goofing around and the coach didn't seem to be able to get their attention. They didn't scrimmage. They did goofy drills.

I know we all know how expensive lacrosse is. Our DD loves it. I'm not expecting college scholarships or anything at all. I'm willing to pay this money gladly, but I want actual serious coaching to be happening. Even if she is on the B team.

I guess a secondary question is...if she is stuck on the B team track, where the f are the good B coaches most likely to be found?? What are solid clubs for girls lax in this area? We aren't ready to commute too far yet. We've tried BLC and M&D already. Does it just depend on the year and the luck of the draw with coaches?

Thank you for any advice or insights! [/quote]
