Lacrosse parents are the worst...doesn't matter what school.  Regretting getting my kid into this sport.[/quote]

I think this is becoming more and more the norm.  It's really a toxic environment and will be the prohibitor to national growth.  Every parent thinks their kid is the # 1 recruit. [/quote]

The women’s college (and often highschool and club) lacrosse coaches are unusually toxic as well.  So many awful stories floating around and in the press. [/quote]

Looks like fencing guy is back[/quote]

Nope. I’m not a guy and I don’t know anything about fencing. What I do know is that as toxic as Club and highschool girls lax is, college Wlax is 100% worse. [/quote]

I’ve had several kids play the sport (club and in college) and it’s been a great experience. That’s not to say it hasn’t been challenging at times.  But glax has taught them great life lessons. How to persevere. How to stay disciplined when things aren’t going their way. How to manage their schedules (getting to practice on time, getting up early, having their gear ready, playing in extreme heat of summer and brutal cold of late winter). They’ve made lifelong friends. The sport has taught them that goals of playing time are earned, never given. It’s taught them to look within when things aren’t going right, rather than blame others. And as athletes, the sport has distinguished them from their peers in lining up great job opportunities for the future.

Sorry this wasn’t your experience. But your stereotype that all girls / women’s lax as “toxic” sounds like an individual experience. It’s certainly not a universal truth.
