[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, the NGLL is for all girls to play good completion. Curious, how are the girls who played MCE in MS are doing on the HS fields, either JV and Varsity? [/quote]

That is not germane to the present topic of who’s decision it was to place the then 199th ranked team (now 196th) in the most competitive A division in the country?  The only plausible answer: a total moron looking to build the brand at the expense of the kids. Stay away from this club. [/quote]

That team has no business being in the A division.  They would barely survive in the B division.

Shame on the NGLL for letting them into A.  The NGLL needs to put in some criteria on which teams can go into A division.[/quote]

Shame on the NGLL?  No, shame on MC Elite “brain trust” that wanted them in the A division. A more glaring example of incompetence I cannot think of. [/quote]

Wins and losses are meaningless. Learning the sport at a young age under good coaching is key . You can lose by 8 goals and if the kids get better and learn the game who cares. MC Elite has girls playing at high levels in college, highschool because of their coaching. You can play on the B level at Bethesda with dad coaches who dont know the game and win more if your only looking at wins and losses. I'd argue those players are going nowhere fast. Not to mention just glance at the goal differential in NCAA womens this weekend there are more than 5  double digit victories. Does that mean the losing team isnt playing at a high level and learning valuable tools for the future?[/quote]

General rule of thumb is that sports should be fun for kids in 8th grade. Also, I fail to see the lessons learned by putting the 196th ranked team up against the no.3 ranked team. A game in which the Coppermine goalie even scored. What is the lesson learned here?  The reality is, they would learn a lot more playing with kids at their skill level or slightly above their skill level. I’d live to poll the kids on MCE how much fun they are having this year?  Person who made this decision should be 86’d. [/quote]

You learn significantly more during a defeat then a win and you can have fun during the learning process. I'd love to see you poll a bunch of 3rd graders - 8th graders to determine who is having fun if only Just to see your level of self importance in the process. I drove a suburban full of girls and they had a blast after a recent loss as our players and coaches could tell massive improvement from week to week. As someone who played in a final 4 in the late 90's dealing with wins and finding joy in losses is a major contributor to success. For your kids sake maybe talk to someone for counseling???[/quote]

By your logic, MCE 2028 should play against Boston College or Northwestern women’s teams.   Imagine how much “learning” could be gleaned from those beatdowns?  Keep in mind, this is not against the MCE kids who are great. It is against psycho parents like the PP who feel that demoralizing victories are a good thing for their kid to experience week in and out (and the person who put them in the A Division where sadly they will continue losing to the best in the country). [/quote]

So you're saying our girls club teams can play against NCAA level competition! Cool! Please message me how to make this happen![/quote]
