[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to any tournament where [b]Capital or Stars or Pride is playing. They are always ALWAYS the smallest, skinniest teams in their age group[/b]. If I had a nickle for every time a person on the sidelines commented on how small the DC area teams look compared to everyone else I’d be rich.  And it’s not that girls in this area are smaller than average. It’s that local club coaches care far more about speed than strength. So they can only play the older style of lax. You’d think they would figure it out when they can’t ever beat the bigger stronger top teams. These clubs, especially at the high school level, need to evolve. [/quote]

Disagree with that statement 100% and I am a Pride, Stars and Capital parent. Of course some of the opposing players are bigger but you are describing players from Stars, Pride and Capital almost as if they are freakish runts on the field compared to the other teams and that is simply not true.  I have not once noticed an overall significant difference in size when comparing a DD's team to an opposing team.

Personally, I do not want HS girl lacrosse players looking like football players.  Fine, maybe if you want to play D1 for the top teams and all you care about is lax, but for those who are very talented but do not see lacrosse as the be-all-end-all, no.  That would shut out way too many talented players.

And BTW, my DDs took ballet for many years and that conditioning only helped them become excellent lax players.
