[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember being the parent of and 8th grader and thinking NGLL was important (and "serious").  Fun times.  (At least we had predictions and debates about scores and relative strength.)

Three things are important at this point, having done this a couple of times. One, individual development of the player.  Two, team development so you can play well in 9th grade to get a ranking that puts you in brackets that coaches watch in 10th grade and the recruiting summer. And three, getting into some of the important showcases so they invite you back in your recruiting year (don't listen to people who say Best in Class or Juniors Open doesn't matter until rising Junior summer; it does if you want an invite then.)

As an 8th grade parent, I can now look back and say NGLL has been a net negative. It’s Not all negative but it’s not set up to provide the best outcome for the players. It could be modified to have more productive outcomes but it clearly exists to generate revenue for the girls lacrosse industry under the guise of development. [/quote]

I was the prior poster noting that NGLL wasn't that "important and serious".  But a "net negative" might be too far a pendulum swing the other way.  Good opportunity to practice and play with your club against some of the best teams in the country.  Not "development" per se, but practice. Good measuring stick.  Shows where you need to improve individually and collectively.  And my daughter had a lot of fun with it.  It was much better that private middle school or rec league lacrosse (and even those weren't "net negatives").    [/quote]
