[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with both PPs.  I think there are plenty of us who advocate assertive and aggressive play but who despise the illegal physicality and stick work that is manifesting with certain teams under the guidance of certain coaches.  I think the comparison of ballet versus brawl is very apt.  Our daughters have been fortunate to be on winning teams so we're not "afraid of losses", whatever that idiotic statement means.  What we do fear, our daughters and us, is that some girl going on out-of-control aggression is going to hurt or kill someone because of the aggressor's inability and unwillingness to keep it legal.

You cannot have it both ways and still maintain a rational point.  You state that physical play is a "trend" in the game yet it only applies to certain teams and coaches?  If it is only a very specific pair of teams (M&D and YJ) then simply do not allow your daughter to play when your team plays those teams.  Problem would be solved.  However, you will find that a more physical style of play continues in the game.   While we can all agree that NO ONE is a fan of watching a player hit another player on the head with a deliberate act, that is not what is at debate here.  Another post did a great job of defining a more physical style in the current game.  The fact that your team wins is great however you seem to be focusing frustration on two clubs that do not loose to DMV teams.  Therefore, when I read your posts it appears that your true issue is the fact that your daughters teams do not win when playing these teams and the safety issue is the excuse you use to justify the loosing. I am sure the comment, "it is ok, if they have to play like that to win it is not worth it." is common during the car ride home.  Sorry if the truth hurts.  Good luck taming your shrew at ballet class. [/quote]

I am talking about coaches yelling from the sidelines for players to commit illegal checks.  I do not know why it is impossible for you to understand that.  My daughter plays for a Baltimore team that is encouraged by their coaches to use legal checks, so none of your points are remotely relevant.[/quote]
