[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entirely possible Pride was not welcome at the Indoor Championships this year. Last year Katie did not even notify 27R families about the event until a few days prior (right as everyone was returning from holiday break) so there were not enough players available to attend. Seems she never officially pulled the team out of the tournament either so Pride remained on the tournament schedule and all the games were marked/scored as forfeits.[/quote] Ouch - not a good look.[/quote] There are folks on this site that would blame the Pride club director for the Kennedy assassination, the housing crash, and pretty much anything else they don't like. [/quote] Who else but Pride parents would do this?[/quote] Pride parents seem pretty happy with the club. It's former Pride folks and gawkers that like to criticize.[/quote] My daughter played with Pride for years before moving on to greener pastures in high school. The biggest issue is they have far more teams than they have good coaches. Capital, for example, only has 6 teams (2 per year). It’s much easier to find 6 coaches than it is to find 40 which is roughly what she needs across all the age groups and teams. As a result, many teams are poorly coached, or use stand-ins so at least someone is on the sidelines. Kids don’t learn to play the correct way, and you end up spending a lot of money on what amounts to a slightly better rec. team. My thought is that the income generated from all these teams is too hard to turn down so the mediocre lacrosse play and instruction continues.[/quote] Well at the very least, the Pride alums on current Capital teams learned to play the correct way. Is there another MS program better represented on current Capital teams (in total) than Pride?[/quote] Most if not all Pride players that make Capital have a parent/sibling that played or were doing a lot of work outside of Pride with former college players that could give them what they needed to succeed. It didn't come from Pride. [/quote] New flash: high level lacrosse players do a lot of work outside of their club teams.[/quote]
