[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is absolutely disgusting reading all these negative posts about people putting down coaches. It is so easy to criticize someone yet so hard to say thank you for the time, dedication, and passion coaches put into developing young boys and girls into great athletes and leaders. There is a reason it is extremely difficult to find officials and coaches now days because of unsupportive parents like yourself who just complain all the time. Your kid is not always going to be #1. It's called life. Let them fail and teach them to get back up and try again rather blaming coaches. THANK YOU to all the coaches out there who CHOOSE to do what you love even when not everyone is on your side.[/quote]

I have sat through training with some of these coaches.  I would not let my daughter play for them. They sat there and bragged how they made them run until someone threw up.  These are not volunteer parents - it is a paid position.  You should expect more.[/quote]

Are you talking about the Madlax girls coaches?  I find that hard to believe because they are well respected in the lacrosse community and coach girls teams at places like NCS and St. John's.  We are interested to see how the club develops because there are not enough clubs in the DC area that have opportunities for girls and we like that these teams have strong female role models.  They might not be a top team this year but they can build over time.  Lots of people are tired of the politics at Capitol and don't want to drive to Baltimore if they live in Bethesda/DC.[/quote]

Its not the actual girl coaches that are the problem, its the owner, Cable Maddux.  He is an awful person, as has been well-documented, per his own words and actions.  Frankly these women coaches should be ashamed to be working for him.  He is toxic and no woman lax coach, player or parent should be willingly lining his pockets.  For that matter, no men should either.

As for hoping Madlax will ever be the equal of Capital in your and your DD's time playing lax, you are living in lala land.  Not. Going. To. Happen.  It will never be better than any other established girls program, of which there are many in the area.

There are many other significantly better teams than Madlax available for middle school (Stars, Pride, MC Elite, Cardinal) and for highschool other than the very top club Capital, in the DC area.  MC Elite for one is a very strong program and in Bethesda.  Cardinal is also good.  Pride is planning on expending into highschool with the 2023 class.

There is no excuse for aligning yourself with this awful man and his terrible club.

The coaches of the 2020/21 team are great and the team is decent (new teams need time to gel). We mainly care about the way the coach treats her players and I can tell you they are good instructors and role models who are varsity girls coaches at NCS and St John’s. My child already plays for a strong private school program so club right now is not her main path to recruiting. I’m not trying to dispute the strength of the Capital program but I think MadLax can become a top club over time and I love that they practice in Bethesda. Glad there are so many options in this area for girls.  [/quote]
