[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so interesting! My DD does competitive gymnastics. At her gym it’s a very healthy culture. I steered her away from lacrosse (nasty mean girl stuff in our town and where I grew up) and[b] she pulled away from soccer at a young age (also because of mean girl/aloha girl drama).[/b] Swimming had a bunch of over involved tiger parents in our area and that put her off, but somehow tennis where I live is weirdly supportive and collegial.

It’s fascinating how some activities have a culture of their own depending on where you live. We’re not in the dmv and some sport cultures are very different from the stereotypes I remember from growing up. And some are the same, cough cough, boys’ lacrosse.[/quote]

Ok, I get the mean girl reference in your comment, but for the life of me, what's an aloha girl?  I'm thinking grass shirts, leis and coconuts, but that can't be it?  [/quote]

Whoops, typo!

I meant “alpha girl drama”. Aloha would be a good thing! Find me the sport with too much aloha and we’re in.[/quote]
