[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once MC pulled all the parents of 2026 into a meeting to tell us that even though we never had a consistent coach all the teams problems were our fault as parents because the kids were on cell phones I knew our time there was up. Leadership refused to take accountability for anything but yet expected the kids to do so? I wish the organization well because I know many parents have stayed to ride it out. We moved on.[/quote]
Do go into more details on this one? Was this the Carolina or Midnight team? What was the fallout from that meeting? I have a 2026 looking to switch clubs and would love more details on this.[/quote]
One other question - where are you now?[/quote]

The meeting involved both Carolina and Midnight.  One year Carolina did not have a coach but then they found a great one.  Then the next year Midnight did not have a coach.  All the while they had two parents who had been coaching the girls through MC prior to that but for whatever reason MC wanted to hire paid coaches for the team.  They had secured a young recent college graduate to coach the team but then she could not make her schedule work.  Then it was a bit of a round and round with coaches.  Then the meeting where they had printed out information about the organization very seriously telling us all about how important the organization was in establishing lax for girls in the county.  They pretty much went on and on about what a big deal they are, how great the coaches are and that our girls just aren't serious enough and that is the issue.  It was such a poorly done meeting I left shocked.  I compared it to work meetings and thought "did that just happen"?  Then I felt bad for the people who work with or for an organization with such leadership.  The attitude from the top is important.  Much like a head master or principal at a school.  That meeting sealed the deal for us.  We left and went to Bethesda along with some other girls and we could not be happier.  The coaches of 2026 at Bethesda are AMAZING.  They both coach high school and set high expectations.  Some on this board will be quick to point out that BLC 2026 plays in the B division of NGLL but I don't care one bit.  The girls get better every single day and are really growing under great leadership.[/quote]
