[quote=Anonymous]I dont think this is actually an attack on Pride itself but on the level of commitment of any elite team. I think it’s a certain type of DC area parent who doesn’t like her kid having a serious, intense commitment that the parent has to commit to also.  This is the typical excuse those kinds of parents make. It’s just too hard on their kid - when really it’s just too hard on them.

I have  older kids who have been on many teams in several sports in the DC area over the years and on many schools teams ( they’ve always been in private and have been on school sports teams since 5th grade).  There is a large percentage of parents here who don’t think they should have to take a sports team seriously and actually get their kid to all practices and games. It’s the kind of parent who lets their kid skip a game for a birthday party, not caring if it leaves none or just 1 or 2 subs for a lacrosse or soccer game. Or who buys tickets for their family to go to an event without checking the team schedule first.  Or plans a trip that overlaps with sports practices or games. Or goes out of town themselves and let’s little Janie stay with her bestie who doesn’t play on that team so it would just be too much to ask them to get Janie to her game.  These parents don’t care if their kid’s absence screws it for the rest of the team in fact they probably don’t even think about it. It's almost impossible to have a dc area team without a few of these kinds of parents. Super spoiled entitled jack holes who don’t think rules apply to them or their child or just don’t care. They can easy destroy the morale and camaraderie on a kids team.

I know what the commitment is of Pride players at each age and it’s very similar to every other elite or travel team, nothing egregious or over the top. The problem here is the parent. [/quote]
