[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

How did the goalie score?  Did she switch sticks?  Otherwise, would not have been a valid shot.

"SECTION 11. A goal is not scored when . . . [t]he ball enters the goal by the attacking team’s goalkeeper or their stick."
[/quote]

I’m guessing the goalie scored and perhaps it did not count. The point, you twit, is that the Coppermine goalie felt so empowered by the lack of competition that she drove the field and scored. The fact that the goal did not count is immaterial but perhaps you used this humiliating experience as another teachable moment for the 2028’s insofar as it would not count?  Damn. Always on step ahead, aren’t you?[/quote]

Lighten up Francis. Just a goalie dad who has considered various possible goalie goal scenarios. [/quote]

Well, I’m a 2028 MCE parent who is sick as $hit of watching these girls get humiliated week in and out. The fact that an opposing goalie shot and scored and that we only have 5 goals all year is sufficient indicia that we are out of our league. [/quote]

Have you talked with the coaches and asked them what the reasoning is for the team being in the A division?  [/quote]

Yes, I’d love to hear from any MCE ‘28 parents who’ve received an explanation as to why that team went into A. [/quote]

I found this chain and can't believe its been going for two years?! Maybe you all should widen your lens a little . LOL and agree with the goalie dad . Impossible for a goalie to legally score a goal. THose coppermine folks need to pick up a book once in a while...any book.[/quote]

Coppermine folks are just fine and know the rules.  They aren't the disaster that MCE is.  The goalie played the field with a field stick and scored when they played MCE.  As the kids say, mic drop.[/quote]
