[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know which teams you all are referring to and I think there is a fair bit of hyperbole in the descriptions here.  Yes, a few teams seem to have girls who occaisionally play outside the rules, but its unusual and very limited.  Most penalties are for accidental incidents. The refs always call what they see.  They cant see everything.  Lets not be snowflakes (DMV teams have a bad enough reputation as it is).  This goes on in all sports at all levels.  If the DMV girls teams were a bit tougher and bigger, it wouldn't happen.  Other teams know and take advantage.  The coaches need to tech our girls to be more aggressive and physical.[/quote]

I would not categorize the play as exaggeration and occasional when teams consistently display the same behavior over and over. Referring to snowflakes these same teams dishing it out are the very ones who can't take it. They are the first to complain. They can't have it both ways. And lastly, the issue isn't a need to be tougher and bigger. There are plenty of DMV teams with girls who are tall, tough, and very athletic. [b]The issue is about playing aggressive while also playing in a controlled manner within the rules. When you play teams that push the boundaries of the rules it's like sending players into games with one arm tied behind their backs when refs don't control the ga[/b][b]me[/b].[/quote]

Well said.[/quote]

I have a DS who played HS lacrosse and I’m fine with girls playing more aggressively generally speaking and so is my DD. She plays for a top DMV HS club and has played a few of these types of clubs from the referenced states as well.  It does little good even when the refs make the calls when these teams are willing to have five or six yellow cards and “accidentally” swing multiple times at the head of the better players on the opposing team in a game.[/quote]
