[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing's posted yet, but offers have been sent via email. People will of course change clubs, it's the nature of the business. They'll switch because they want a new coach, don't want to play on a B Team, want a chance to play a different position etc. MS Club games don't matter as the PP mentioned, but the training does. So choose a Club where your DD is going to learn the game, have fun and will be prepared to play in HS. Best of luck to everyone. [/quote]

You are clouding the issue.  While MS games (club or school) don't matter much they do prepare girls for highschool and college lax. Its the most important time to grow and learn lacrosse and that is not happening when you are the best player on a team or on a team with many girls who have little real skill yet.  The problem with middle school club B teams is for the player on the bubble.  Those girls get stuck on a B team like Stars black and while they may lead and dominate that team, they arent growing and developing their lacrosse IQ and getting to the next level because they are playing with others who are stlll developing stick skills.  Thats very frustrating for a kid.  That also leads to kids who are ball hogs and never pass because they can't rely on their teammates to catch.  And that is not a growth experience for anyone.  Stars black teams typically have 2-5 players who are on that bubble and then also 2-5 who have very weak stick skills and are pretty new to the game.  The latter group brings down the learning curve for the whole team but its the first group that suffers the most.  Those girls may have a chance to make Capital but they have to do a heck of a lot of work on their own, well beyond what most kids do, to make a top high school club like Capital and the truth is that there is only so much one can do to develop lacrosse IQ outside of playing games.  There is a reason so many girls work hard to get and stay on the blue team - it does matter in the long run as it shapes who they become as players.[/quote]
