[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea , from what I have heard from a friend on the MnD 2034 team those girls have been delt a tough hand this year. Not much consistent coaching support, many practices with one coach or even parents jumping in. Apparently two moms helped run the winter sessions and they are just going to totally start over maybe, which is pretty crappy of the program. It surprises me because I feel like the MnD director truly values the kids and what is most surprising is they are now apparently rostering like 4-5 Broadneck girls for the next summer tournament, without even mentioning it to the current families. A parent took a look at the waivers and saw they had added all these players. It makes everyone a little upset, you have families spending money on hotels and travel etc. and now the subs will see even less field time. I guess that is just the main focus of a club like MnD , I mean they will want to win at all costs, but it is surprising the director is allowing it to happen. I get needing to reshuffle but at least put some support into the current roster.

That is pretty crappy, but not surprising from M&D.

To the poster who said they will be fine later on.  Yes, they probably will but the players who were on these teams "early" hoping to ride it out are likely the ones who will be replaced and then either be stuck on their Red team or try to get on somewhere else on an already established team.[/quote]

Yea agree -that is totally crappy for the current roster . I mean I do get that they need to shift etc. but wait for try outs, those girls have paid and stuck it out for 10 months. It is really not fair to them and on top of it they are what .. 10 years old. I agree I would have expected more from the director, from what I have heard she really is good.

The director is good. May be more to this. You can’t take 5 girls from another club if your tournament roster is already at 21/22.

I agree it feels bad for kids and parents to get a sense that they are bringing in better players. It’s the reality and we as parents need to help kids with how to think of this. Or there is an alternative—families can get a different experience by ensuring their daughter joins a team where she is the best 10% of kids on the team. Downsides to that approach too, obviously.
