That is not germane to the present topic of who’s decision it was to place the then 199th ranked team (now 196th) in the most competitive A division in the country? The only plausible answer: a total moron looking to build the brand at the expense of the kids. Stay away from this club.
That team has no business being in the A division. They would barely survive in the B division.
Shame on the NGLL for letting them into A. The NGLL needs to put in some criteria on which teams can go into A division.
Shame on the NGLL? No, shame on MC Elite “brain trust” that wanted them in the A division. A more glaring example of incompetence I cannot think of.
Wins and losses are meaningless. Learning the sport at a young age under good coaching is key . You can lose by 8 goals and if the kids get better and learn the game who cares. MC Elite has girls playing at high levels in college, highschool because of their coaching. You can play on the B level at Bethesda with dad coaches who dont know the game and win more if your only looking at wins and losses. I'd argue those players are going nowhere fast. Not to mention just glance at the goal differential in NCAA womens this weekend there are more than 5 double digit victories. Does that mean the losing team isnt playing at a high level and learning valuable tools for the future?
General rule of thumb is that sports should be fun for kids in 8th grade. Also, I fail to see the lessons learned by putting the 196th ranked team up against the no.3 ranked team. A game in which the Coppermine goalie even scored. What is the lesson learned here? The reality is, they would learn a lot more playing with kids at their skill level or slightly above their skill level. I’d live to poll the kids on MCE how much fun they are having this year? Person who made this decision should be 86’d.
How did the goalie score? Did she switch sticks? Otherwise, would not have been a valid shot.
"SECTION 11. A goal is not scored when . . . [t]he ball enters the goal by the attacking team’s goalkeeper or their stick."
I’m guessing the goalie scored and perhaps it did not count. The point, you twit, is that the Coppermine goalie felt so empowered by the lack of competition that she drove the field and scored. The fact that the goal did not count is immaterial but perhaps you used this humiliating experience as another teachable moment for the 2028’s insofar as it would not count? Damn. Always on step ahead, aren’t you?
Lighten up Francis. Just a goalie dad who has considered various possible goalie goal scenarios.
Well, I’m a 2028 MCE parent who is sick as $hit of watching these girls get humiliated week in and out. The fact that an opposing goalie shot and scored and that we only have 5 goals all year is sufficient indicia that we are out of our league.
Have you talked with the coaches and asked them what the reasoning is for the team being in the A division?

I get that. My daughter's first year of club many years ago was with a newly established club. She played games (as a goalie) where her team never advanced the ball beyond the offensive restraining line. Was facing 50 plus shots per game. She improved from the sheer reps but her teammates really didn't. We moved clubs.

As a Montgomery County parent please whatever you avoid MC Elite, it was the worst program I ever put my child in and I encourage everyone to avoid it. Its overpriced, they don't teach much, and the coaches are far from good.
Fake news: I have older and younger girls in the program at MCelite the coaches are fantastic . Compared to BLC which is 90% dad coaches learning about lacrosse on youtube and then trying to teach!
I would love to know what year teams you could possibly be talking about???!!!

You learn significantly more during a defeat then a win and you can have fun during the learning process. I'd love to see you poll a bunch of 3rd graders - 8th graders to determine who is having fun if only Just to see your level of self importance in the process. I drove a suburban full of girls and they had a blast after a recent loss as our players and coaches could tell massive improvement from week to week. As someone who played in a final 4 in the late 90's dealing with wins and finding joy in losses is a major contributor to success. For your kids sake maybe talk to someone for counseling???
By your logic, MCE 2028 should play against Boston College or Northwestern women’s teams. Imagine how much “learning” could be gleaned from those beatdowns? Keep in mind, this is not against the MCE kids who are great. It is against psycho parents like the PP who feel that demoralizing victories are a good thing for their kid to experience week in and out (and the person who put them in the A Division where sadly they will continue losing to the best in the country).

These are not just defeats but morale defeating ass kickings. I agree with you on one thing: the lesson learned for these girls is that their coaches/director are absolute idiots for putting them in a division where they will likely not muster more than ten goals this season. Honestly, you sound like a person who is trying to will her daughter to excellence because you are deluded in thinking she is more talented than she is. MCE at 2028 would not win a game in the B division so why not start there?

What a lazy, old and inaccurate take on BLC. BLC has paid head coaches, most of who coach at the high school level. The vast majority of BLC girls teams are having tremendous success. This is supported by win/loss record. This is supported by rankings. This is supported by how many girls graduate to Capital and other significant clubs locally. MC Elite, through years of mismanagement and neglect, has become a glorified rec program.

That is not germane to the present topic of who’s decision it was to place the then 199th ranked team (now 196th) in the most competitive A division in the country? The only plausible answer: a total moron looking to build the brand at the expense of the kids. Stay away from this club.
That team has no business being in the A division. They would barely survive in the B division.
Shame on the NGLL for letting them into A. The NGLL needs to put in some criteria on which teams can go into A division.
Shame on the NGLL? No, shame on MC Elite “brain trust” that wanted them in the A division. A more glaring example of incompetence I cannot think of.
Wins and losses are meaningless. Learning the sport at a young age under good coaching is key . You can lose by 8 goals and if the kids get better and learn the game who cares. MC Elite has girls playing at high levels in college, highschool because of their coaching. You can play on the B level at Bethesda with dad coaches who dont know the game and win more if your only looking at wins and losses. I'd argue those players are going nowhere fast. Not to mention just glance at the goal differential in NCAA womens this weekend there are more than 5 double digit victories. Does that mean the losing team isnt playing at a high level and learning valuable tools for the future?
General rule of thumb is that sports should be fun for kids in 8th grade. Also, I fail to see the lessons learned by putting the 196th ranked team up against the no.3 ranked team. A game in which the Coppermine goalie even scored. What is the lesson learned here? The reality is, they would learn a lot more playing with kids at their skill level or slightly above their skill level. I’d live to poll the kids on MCE how much fun they are having this year? Person who made this decision should be 86’d.
As a Montgomery County parent please whatever you avoid MC Elite, it was the worst program I ever put my child in and I encourage everyone to avoid it. Its overpriced, they don't teach much, and the coaches are far from good.
Fake news: I have older and younger girls in the program at MCelite the coaches are fantastic . Compared to BLC which is 90% dad coaches learning about lacrosse on youtube and then trying to teach!

You learn significantly more during a defeat then a win and you can have fun during the learning process. I'd love to see you poll a bunch of 3rd graders - 8th graders to determine who is having fun if only Just to see your level of self importance in the process. I drove a suburban full of girls and they had a blast after a recent loss as our players and coaches could tell massive improvement from week to week. As someone who played in a final 4 in the late 90's dealing with wins and finding joy in losses is a major contributor to success. For your kids sake maybe talk to someone for counseling???
