Then take her off the team or complain to the owner or have her rest for a couple of weeks.

Fake club.

Fake news.

Is anyone else concerned about the intensity of the conditioning and amount of reps at Pride? We have seen a rash of over use injuries team. I have heard from other parents on older teams its an issue. Interested in peoples thoughts. Hate seeing kids burn out of a sport.

It’s the second year for the 2022s (Fall ‘18- Summer’19). The first year they finished ranked higher than they are now. What changed?

Coaching?

Pride rules. Other clubs don't.

Sorry you feel that way and you choose to shortchange your daughter that way. Maybe playing lacrosse beyond middle school is not for her. Maybe she's just not that good.

For those who want to make something of lacrosse, Pride is great. Great training, great leadership, great tournaments and great people. Pride is growing and now has teams from Baltimore to Loudoun that want to be part of this experience.

Save your money. Don't be a lemming. Avoid club lax and stick with school and development training only. These are businesses whose primary goal - especially now that they are all for-profit in the area - is to separate you and your DD from your money. Saner and cheaper choice. Stay little longer and let them enjoy their youth.

Sad, but true...

Wow, the number of straight up lies on this thread is incredible, but of course that's what it's designed to do. Might be time for a moderator to step in.

2023’s are a top 20/25 or so team. They would likely benefit from Pride playing/placing them in some tougher brackets, as when they were in tournaments in the fall, I don’t think they beat any teams that are generally considered inside of the top ten, but they also didn’t get a lot of chances against top competition.

Ouch. That’s a huge drop.Are the 2023s ranked?
