Time will tell if it was a good move for the 24s who left MCE for Capital. Most college coaches would ner recommend leaving an A team for a B team. Leaving an A team for another A team is risky depending on where you fall in the talent pool and how much playing time you will get. It is not like MCE has not gotten girls in college and their players excel in HS. The post about issues at all clubs was also spot on. In the end girls need to have fun, work hard. By the way club Ws and Ls do not follow a player, how they develop and play does.

Anyone got a translator for this disaster of a post?

Ha. Reads as if the person was commenting on several earlier posts. Makes some good points.

a we know. The Rebels and Turtles moms are all nasty out of shape loud mouths.... Lets call a spade a spade, no team is full of fitness model parents. All teams have obnoxious parents on sidelines and everyone thinks their kid is better then they are. There should be some attention paid to the male fitness and hygiene from what I can see, At any tournament on any weekend 75% of all parents are in need of a salad and a treadmill. Truth is the Rebels are a decent team and so are the Turtles. They can both hang with anyone including the "A" teams of 91 and Express (as someone said). They can also lose to a number of teams any given day such as Legacy, Moose etc. Lastly, these message boards serve little purpose as far as real information goes. They provide people an opportunity to hide behind a keyboard and bash children and parents. Sometimes you can get a good laugh but most of the time the posts are ridiculous. Good luck to all the 28 Teams this spring/summer.

Next Level has never had a single strong highschool team. The NL program is not really a true lacrosse program for girls at HS.

Are the "A" teams for all of these clubs considered equal (or B teams for that matter)? Or are there hierarchy among clubs? (Not looking to judge, but rather truly understand if some clubs are considered more advance than others.)

She's involved in one but has some interest in another due a friend joining it. While it's her choice, I want to understand if switching would impact level of play/coaching, etc. either up or down.
