BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls Spring 2014 High School Varsity Lacrosse

Yes I do, it would have been tied, like it was until the coach started putting the girls in. The bottom line is that these girls make the team better. Isn't that the goal? There are 9th grade girls on varsity, isn't that the same thing? This is a team sport and if a few players help a team, how is that not a win for everyone involved?

Girls lacrosse is anything but a team sport.

Get the ball to (fill in the blank) and then everyone else can stop running!

Unfortunately you are correct for many teams this is true. But not the case for the really good teams and you can pin the goal to goal culture of a team directly on the coach. Somehow a parent walks off the sideline beaming after a player spent the entire game dodging, resetting, shooting and netting 8 goals. As a parent you should be embarrassed. There are teams and players that play a very unselfish game, including many/most of the players on offense. It is great to watch when you see it in motion. There is nothing more painful and pathetic to watch than an individual effort, win or lose.

O

It is pathetic, and unfortunately, it's coaches at many levels, but like powder said - doesn't work against the good defenses!

Coaches that don't play kids and coach ball movement are in programs that are dying. Who cares if your team has an all American if everyone else around her was recruited off the kick line team. If we are winning by 10 how about making a pass, I'm just sayin

game yesterday in Suffolk - 2 players had every point for their team. Not one other player had an assist or goal out of 12 goals scored. Oh they lost by the way.

How about also playing both sides of the field it's called defense.

Catholic girls teams....get yourself some snipers in the next few years...St Anthony's brought up a ninth grade goalie. She's play ing behind a senior right now but watch out anyone facing St. Anthony's next few years.....They're sealing the cage.

My daughters PAL team was coached like this for years. Daddy coach who puts his daughter at attack and spends the whole game screaming get the ball to XYZ. The other girls do all the legwork scooping up the ground bulls running the entire field while she stands right next to the net. Finally after about three years of this BS the girls themselves stopped passing her the bowl and started passing to each other and going to the cage it was beautiful because the rest of us parents didn't prompt them to do it they were smart enough to realize what was going on and did it on their own

I thought the St A Goalie was a junior?

first off it is a middies job to scoop and run; feed dodge pass and score; it is the defenses job to play with their feet create turnovers and scoop and run. it is the Attack job to do just that attack. Score and assist. it is a team game when all players do their part it works.

The Newsday Boxscore, early recruiting and summer team propaganda has made HS lacrosse anything but a team game sorry.

Sorry there is nothing more painful to watch when a team is up by 6 goals with 20 minutes left, playing keep away either get up by more goals and get other players in or continue to attack the goal this 20 minute keep away is pathetic. I would rather watch great indivudual talent going to the goal then watch keep away.

How about at up 6 someone other than a point hound gets to go to the cage? Maybe the goal scoring percentage comes down and game stays close but we keep playing lacrosse instead of keep away. We just don't need to see the same kid get 15 points while everyone else watches.

You know nothing about LI Girls lacrosse if you think the two girls from "the losing team" needed to pad their stats. They are both very accomplished players with the one being a top 5 LI player.

Im pretty sure the other team had a kid that put up 7 goals as well. The other girls who had 4 and 5 goals just happen to be two of the best that Suffolk County has to offer. Both will excel in college as well. Watch and enjoy.

Sachem East lost again. 0-4 . Bad team, with a bad coach
