[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry your kid is such a special snowflake. Go join a rec team!

[quote=Anonymous]To the ones coming on here to criticize a player for leaving a team—what is wrong with you??? Do you need to be told this is supposed to be competitive travel lacrosse? No one should have to tell you that players have the right to try out for other teams and move on. Stop being whiny babies about it because it just sounds like jealously that your kid didn’t get the same chance. Grow up. [/quote][/quote]

Absolutely, they have a right to leave if that’s what’s best for them. But they should also keep in mind that the players they spent the last few years carpooling with, playing with, and generally sharing a huge experience with won’t have exactly the same friendship. That’s fine, just recognize you are stepping away from close relationships with the old team and hopefully to ones with the new team.[/quote]

Omg, this isn't personal. It's club lacrosse.[/quote]

We’re talking about a group activity for 12 year old girls and you’re saying it’s not personal? You may be positioning your kid for the best college recruiting experience but my daughter, who is not on a top team, is mostly doing this to spend time with her friends outside of school. If one of her friends left her team she would spend a lot less time with her, I’m sure she would still be kind but it’s not the same.[/quote]

Your DD is doing it for the friendships but you can’t impose the same goals and priorities onto others. Of course the time they spend together will be different, but if she truly values the friendships, as you say, then the relationship should endure beyond the team. If the relationship is conditional to being on the same team, then it wasn’t based on anything real to begin with.[/quote]

You’ve missed my point. Most of us have had various close friends at different points of our lives based on spending an intense amount of time together. For kids like my daughter this is one of those experiences. She’s going to be kind to anyone leaving her team but the intense friendships will pretty naturally be with those she spends a lot of time with, and I hope for anyone going to a new team they make those new big friendships as well. Seems like a natural change when you move to a new group.[/quote][/quote]
