[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is outrageously toxic. Came across this thread and couldn’t believe some of the negative rhetoric.

I have a daughter that went to another NWDC elementary school. Her team was very developmental compared to Janney. When kids both girls and boys at this age there is going to be a large gap in ability. I can remember playing the Janney team and they were very talented. The game got out of hand quick but to the coaches credit they did stop the game and put in the bench. The bench however was also more talented which led to a lopsided score. It got to a point where the coaches told the Janney girls to not guard and as someone mentioned earlier make several passes before shooting if at all. At this age it is quite hard to tell a child, specifically a bench player, to hold back. In my opinion this is doing a disservice to the other non starters to not allow them to develop into better players.

I understand both views on her, however I never understand why some threads like this delve into the negative and become critical.

Agreed on the toxicity typically found on here but honestly I am seeing constructive feedback in many cases on this thread.  Different perspectives.  The one poster that talked about working on other things like using weak hand are great ideas for situations like this.  I am not a parent Janney but don't love everything about my school either.  Should be able to have these conversations.   At least it hasn't resorted to name calling........yet?[/quote]
