[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to see so many parents who want the game to become more physically aggressive and dangerous. Are you folks aware of the declining popularity of football due to the increasing evidence of serious injury and even mortality? And, BTW, as a former ballet dancer whose daughter plays lacrosse, I'd say that both activities require comparable levels of strength, stamina, speed, agility, kinetic awareness and determination. [/quote] Total mischaracterization oif what people are saying on this thread, PP. Parents are saying girls lacrosse here, in the DC area, is not taught correctly and it’s hurting our daughters who want to compete at the highest level. Lacrosse in DC is taught by old school coaches whose style of play is stuck back in the 1990s. It’s 2018. It’s time for our girls, their teams, to play the modern game that is played elsewhere, in the areas with the most sucessful clubs and girls who go on to play at the top college level. We are saying our daughters are strong and capable of matching the modern aggressive (and legal) play taught everywhere else there is great lacrosse. We are tired of seeing our girls teams lose games because their coaches believe that they only need speed not strength, not size, not muscle, not physicality. And then our girls lose out because they don’t know how to play top level lacrosse. [/quote] What a joke this post is...JMU just won the National Chanpionship with a bunch of girls that played lacrosse in the Nothern Virginia 6A North Divison and many were coached up by Capital lacrosse not sure who posted this nonsense. NC and UVA also have Captal players on their teams all made Final Four. Probably someone from California hwo doesn't get lax in DMV. This area sends more kids to DI programs than most and they girls end up being classy and accomplished long after lacrosse. Do we really want to encourage hard physical play like Yellow Jackets I know I don't want my daughter to turn out like most of the Moms I see from Long Island on the sidelines yelling and screaming. Get some perspective ladies![/quote]
