Seeing some of their summer results, looks like their offense could be in need.

Problem is all 3 coaches kids play attack so not a lot of minutes available there. Girls that were on the bench most were attackers. Same problem at Coppermine. You have 4 offensive players (middies and one attack) that never leave the field so have 8 more attackers fighting for 3 attacker spot minutes.

There’s a lot of misinformation in this comment about MnD (can’t speak for Coppermine). We do have 3 coaches, but only 2 of them have daughters on the team. (Our third coach is a young woman who does not have a 14 year old!) It is true that the 2 coaches’ daughters are attackers, but it isn’t true that they never leave the field. Playing time is not equal, so there have been games when they haven’t been subbed out, but those have been tight games or games we were trying to win. It isn’t true though that they never come off.

Of course “never come off the field” was an exaggeration you said it yourself- the M&D attackers get subbed out of the game is not close or you are not trying to win…

Looking ahead to high school are there any top MD teams that do a better job than others at more equal playing time during the recruiting years? I know as a parent it is hard to cut yourself from M&D or Coppermine at this point but if your daughter sees the field less than 10 minutes most games you might need to consider something else.
