BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Sky Walkers Lacrosse

no feeder system. the number 1 recruit in the country for 2017 played at McD and she played club ball for SW. if you are good CR will find about at you

Do the private schools recruit for high school lacrosse? Is there grant money or other “quiet” funds available for girls who cannot afford to attend?
As for just flat-out recruiting girls to attend your school- who is involved in this? Does the coach go to the AD and then they get in touch with you? How do they find you? Do they attend tournaments and look at eight graders or does it have to start earlier? Do they have athletics open houses? Are these open houses by invitation only?

Why are people talking about girls lacrosse here? Nobody cares.

Whoops! Just found out that CR is stepping down at McD. Wonder what that’s all about

Not anymore

Does not matter anymore. Per Inside Lax Twitter, Chris Robinson isnout at McDonough.

#METOO

I hope it’s not #METOO
That would be devestating in many ways. He wouldn’t really be allowed to be around kids if it is. He couldn’t even live in my neighborhood -if you know what I mean!
Something must be in the water at that school with kids being preyed upon by “sporty parents”

Let's stop with the rumors

Subject: McDonogh resignation

Dear M&D families,
Yesterday, I resigned from my position from McDonogh School as head coach of the girls’ lacrosse program and as a middle school teacher. During my 13 year lacrosse coaching stint at the school we took the program from a basement dweller to the best lacrosse program in the country for the last decade. By the huge media crush and the outpouring of texts, phone calls, and emails I am sure many are looking for an answer
I resigned my position at the school to move forward in my career. It was not an easy decision, but one that I felt was in the best interest of me and my family. The timing may not seem perfect, but many times when opportunity comes knocking it is not the ideal time. Building the National Girls Lacrosse League and Robinson Sports to a national level is a major goal for Robinson Sports and I am exciting for this opportunity to use my experience in new ways.
I have been made aware of the rumors that have circulated because of my departure by some of my friends and colleagues. Some of them are appalling to hear but I guess in today’s society people automatically assume the worst. I assure you all, there isn’t any merit to these horrific claims. So in this time of change for my family, I would ask that you be respectful of my decisions to move on in my career.
I would like to thank the hundreds of people who have reached out to me and my family with sincere well wishes. All of your support has been unbelievable.

Sincerely,
Chris Robinson

You just killed all the rumor mongers buzz.

Right. It totally makes sense to pursue your career a month before your daughter starts her senior year. Try again Chris. No one is buying that.

I wonder if this means the Mid Atlantic Tourney in July and the other tournaments that are played at McDonogh will be affected by the departure of Chris Robinson...

Whatever really happened is probably none of our business.

Im not sure about that, if it's was purely personal, then OK I agree, none of my business. If it had to do any business impropriety, theft, tax evasion etc or improper relationships with former/current players I have a right to know because he plans to continue to operate several businesses and I'd rather not support businesses operating below board.

Well since you don’t know you should just mind your own business... if you don’t want to remain on one of his teams just leave and stop making things up. Not his fault your daughter can’t get off the bench

Can Back of the Cage start a new forum title for
Girls Club/NGLL in Maryland?
There are just too many question and topics that spread out across the grad years on the board.
This board could be highjacked and become the de facto club board for Md girls?
For instance, why isn’t there an M&D board?
The Redshirts drama has spreadout among many grad years, therefore it would benefit to have a broad board.
Thanks
