[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a sport that tends to attract the popular girls, which will tend to be a little more mean girl than the nerds for sure.

I think this is because it’s a sport that doesn’t start young unlike almost all others. Most girls I know started in 4/5th or middle school. They join at that age bc their friends are doing it, so it tends to be a kid who is socially motivated. [/quote]

+1 It’s also a non-contact sport, and prissy girls are often the mean girls.[/quote]

What an ignorant comment. When you’re playing travel it’s very intense. Have you seen how the girls dive and run into each other? Never mind. I bet your kid does band/theater. [/quote]

NP here who thinks this thread is insane but perhaps explains where teens get their ugly biases from...
You are calling someone ignorant while simultaneously maligning band/theatre?  :roll: 
My kid is the captain of her lacrosse team as well as always a lead in the musical. She's also very nice and tries to mentor the younger kids in sports and especially theatre.

People are complex. Especially growing CHILDREN. A lot of you need to take a look in the mirror. You are teaching your kids to be judgmental and critical. Then you throw up your hands and say, what is the world coming to!?  [/quote]

You sure about that?  The spring plays usually have rehearsals every day right after school.  So does lacrosse.   Hard to be in two places at once.   Especially when you’re top dog in both. [/quote]

This is going to blow your mind, but different school districts do things differently. For us the musical is January to March. We have four seasons, and the musical is during what we call winter two. Lacrosse is during the spring season that follows. Thank you for your helpful question! Hope that makes sense! [/quote]
