[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let every program handle it the way it wants.  I just wanted to point out that each HS/club/program treats this league differently, so don't assume others are playing the same way/that you can extrapolate a lot from the results (or pass judgements on whose approach is better).

Box is a great way to have some winter games and keep a stick in everyone's hand.  end of story.[/quote]

That sounds reasonable and nice but when you have volunteer moms and dads trying to keep the experience light and fun for their players  go up against screaming HCs who think they’re competing in the Final Four, the two approaches clash. STJ: set a policy everyone can adopt where the rules are clearly defined. [/quote]

Again, go make the complaint to the STJ officially then. Otherwise you just come here and complain every year. Don't like it? Go try to do something about it other than complaining on an anonymous message board as if it's going to change anything.[/quote]

STJ reads this forum, as do many parent volunteers and parents who feel the same way. Thanks for the suggestion but I’ll keep posting here, coach. Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant, the wonderful saying goes …. [/quote]

Actually, you tried this line of argument last year--with zero impact--and distracted from actual discussion about lacrosse.  Counting on St James, which doesn't even have a lacrosse director, to read this forum and make policy decisions based on your complaints is kind of ridiculous. Just a distraction and a waste of time.  [/quote]

Coach: please read the thread title. It specifically deals with the St James winter indoor league. It’s a topic many volunteer parent coaches have discussed. Some of it about you and your behavior, specifically. If it’s that offensive to you, there’s a simple solution: go somewhere else. [/quote]

I posted the post starting with "Actually...".  Not a coach and not the person you were arguing with.  I'm just an observer that has become annoyed with your continued scolding when on an anonymous thread set up to discuss lacrosse.

My daughter's club team participates in the Winter League, with parent coaches, and routinely plays teams with their club coach on the sideline.  No one stresses or complains, because it's a low key Winter indoor league with no standings, no winners, no consequences.  It is for the girls to practice, learn, and have some fun.  I guarantee you our parent coaches of my daughter's club are not complaining or actively discussing the issue with you.  You truly need to lighten up and get some perspective.

Easy on the "volunteer" stuff as well; it's not a soup kitchen or a real service job--you are coaching lacrosse for your kid.  Plus, as your insistence on mentioning the volunteer status highlights, you don't have to do it.  And as I'm not the person you think you are talking to, my sideline behavior is not at issue.[/quote]
