[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a dumb comment, don’t complain about your kid’s teacher cause you aren’t a teacher yourself. Don’t criticize the truck driver unless you drive a truck yourself. Sorry, we all pay good money, NGLL should have refs educated on the rules and fields that are lined and safe.

Let me go to your job stand outside your office and scream obscenities and threaten violence because you can't fill out a f-ng spreadsheet Karen..........

All the post on here about how the refs suck, and the leagues suck, the coaches suck - but time and time again its the actions from parents and coaches towards refs that are the most appalling.

Who in their right mind is going to spend there weekends for crap money to get yelled at by people who have never played, coach or reffed. Hell most of y'all can't jog the length of the field.

I love Lax and what it is offering my daughter - hype up the positive and try to be constructive about the negative.

What this guy said!

Girls lax is an awesome game.  Girls get fit, stronger, learn discipline, and teamwork.  Pretty amazing for their health and self-esteem--unless we parents ruin it.

Seeing some really rough calls and misunderstanding of the game and rules from some refs this year--in addition to games being called completely differently on the physicality scale.  Some refs allowing no touching, some allowing serious hacking.  Apparently, we parents are going to have to just deal with it and take the high road.  A quick "don't worry", or "stay aggressive", or "good hustle" is probably enough to signal your support for your daughter without setting the ref off.

Another negative phenomenon that is pretty prevalent, [b]is the parents coaching from the sidelines, demanding that their daughter go to goal or take the draw, etc.  Respectfully, at this level of club lacrosse, the girls are running plays.[/b]  There is some flexibility in decision-making, but you have no idea what their coaches are expecting or what your player is seeing in the game flow.  If you have a genuine confidence issue where your daughter is really missing opportunities within her team's system, save it for the car ride, or a follow up one on one...  Just sounds selfish and critical to constantly harangue your daughter about doing it herself.  Probably counterproductive.

Let's try and have a little more fun.  If the girls are playing hard and improving, that's great--and probably good enough.

+ 1 million re: the bolded part. I can't stand the parent coaching. And the people who say stuff like that usually have no idea how the game is played. [/quote]
