Appreciate the two previous posts on the topic of toxicity. This is mainly a parent issue not a player issue. This stems from a few insecure parents on clubs who feel the need to try and control every situation and clubs let them get away with this bad behavior. Or it stems from parents who cannot accept their daughter just is not a top player, so they do everything they can to give their daughter an edge they are unable to earn on the playing field. These parents are easy to spot. So the question for the individual who feels wlax is toxic, what have you done to address the few bad apples in the bunch? Just a suggestion, let the girls play and the cream will rise to the top.

I think this is becoming more and more the norm. It's really a toxic environment and will be the prohibitor to national growth. Every parent thinks their kid is the # 1 recruit.
The women’s college (and often highschool and club) lacrosse coaches are unusually toxic as well. So many awful stories floating around and in the press.
Looks like fencing guy is back
Nope. I’m not a guy and I don’t know anything about fencing. What I do know is that as toxic as Club and highschool girls lax is, college Wlax is 100% worse.
I’ve had several kids play the sport (club and in college) and it’s been a great experience. That’s not to say it hasn’t been challenging at times. But glax has taught them great life lessons. How to persevere. How to stay disciplined when things aren’t going their way. How to manage their schedules (getting to practice on time, getting up early, having their gear ready, playing in extreme heat of summer and brutal cold of late winter). They’ve made lifelong friends. The sport has taught them that goals of playing time are earned, never given. It’s taught them to look within when things aren’t going right, rather than blame others. And as athletes, the sport has distinguished them from their peers in lining up great job opportunities for the future.
Sorry this wasn’t your experience. But your stereotype that all girls / women’s lax as “toxic” sounds like an individual experience. It’s certainly not a universal truth.
Agree entirely that lax helps many young women grow. Two years ago, our daughter was anxious about meeting, calling or texting friends, teachers, coaches or just about anyone else. The recruiting process forced her to get comfortable meeting coaches in person, sending emails, texting and talking on the phone. She had to put herself out there and tell coaches that she wanted to attend their college and play for them. She has learned how to improve herself as well as how to handle disappointments both on the field and off. With hindsight: we would not do anything differently.
Many believe the stakes are high (I'm not saying that they aren't) and this has the possibility of bringing out both the best and worst in people. By comparison, I once accompanied a child to nationals for forensic/debate. That was 100X more toxic than glax.

Do any of the girls lax teams stream big games like the boys do?

OK, cool… So by your logic, any team should be allowed to post any score they want. Seems like a smart approach.

VISI and PVI play in two entirely separate conferences, thus goal differential is irrelevant.

Yes, it’s just one goal. But teams should post accurate final scores. Otherwise people are left wondering. When scores count in deciding goal differentials, an correct account is pretty important.

Visi has this win as 11-7 on its website.
Anyone know the score of the Visi / BI game today?
Anyone know the actual final score of the Visi / PVI game? Strange each side has a different tally.
Who cares? It's one goal? PVI lost.
