Isn’t this the year for that? Next summer would be too late. Speaking of that will there be any coaches at any of the fall tournaments? This is for private schools obviously.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Anonymous #272820 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A That is a shame. Probably should be more poaching. I think most poaching should be from "power" club's 2nd string to other teams. I sense it goes the other way more often however, from "lesser" club best player invited to "big" club team. I would think 2nd midfield on M&D could move over and be first midfield somewhere else, for example.

I would think 2nd midfield on M&D could move over and be first midfield somewhere else, for example. I think for most it is finding the right fit. Some are content to stay on a "power" club's 2nd team. Sadly, the loyalty the players give to the power club is not reciprocated. The player may even dream of moving up if they just work harder. Sadly, it rarely, if ever happens. The power clubs will always choose an outside player over a player on the second team. Always.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #272841 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A More reason to leave and play more at another club. Almost cult like, the loyalty the 2nd team has to the club. Fear of change? Stockholm syndrome? Not sure. The clubs public face is the A team at any year, that is priority 1thru 9 out of 10. If you are not on the A team or if you are and not seeing significant minutes you should leave. You do not have to sit out a year after you switch.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #280113 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A (per team 20 girl team) pushes cost of NGLL to over 2500 per team. Assuming 8 game season each game costs over $600 each to put on? Playoffs are free keep practicing.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #280119 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A There is such demand in this market and the supply is only provided by one entity. Get another league started (like the boys did with the Koopers league to compete with HoCo league) and you may have other (more affordable) options.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #280128 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The ADDITIONAL cost of $2500. I know things today are dynamic in lacrosse, but in 4 years we have always paid club fees that covered NGLL fees. This is an additional beak-wetting fee. So what are your picks for this year in 2023 a? I say the M&D powerhouse will take it all (but I do question some additions at both A & B) Hero’s used to be a contender but they have been absent from certain tourneys in the last year. Sky walkers always in flux. Dark horses may be Elite. All others super dark. There just isnt enough talent around to stock these teams to beat M&D. They play more and practice more. Reputation alone gets them the best players. But you only need a few key players to make a difference. Practice practice practice

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #280238 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A M&D is the monopoly of travel lacrosse. When there is no competition the sport suffers. I am shocked that another league has not started up already. Parents will abandon their teams in a second if they think their kid can make the black team ( not so much red). There is no chance these other teams will compete. On a good note-it makes no difference in recruiting. If your kid is the top 3-5 on their club they will be set. The rest will be going to lower D1 schools of D2/3 (yes even superstar suzy from M&D or YJ ). I would like to see more competitive games personally. Not sour grapes-my D was one of those 3-5.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #280242 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A An honest answer from a local D1 women's coach..."if you are a good player, schools will find you regardless of who you play for". In this day and age, athletes are being recruited from everywhere. We are lucky to have so much talent in this area so many schools recruit more in this area.

M & D and Sky Walker's both have very strong mid-fields. Depth is still a concern for both teams IMO. Take the top 3-5 players off the field and they struggle. Elite will be in the mix too but they are falling off. They are just the NEMS 2023 team that should be.

They are certainly #2 or #3 but M&D is a clear #1. For NGLL, the top 4 teams for playoffs are a lock IMO: M&D, Hero's, Skywalkers, Elite. Should be a battle for the next two spots though.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #284240 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Both teams are full of talent.. Elite is the hometown team! These girls have been together for a long time. They keep the team true and small and everyone breaks a sweat during games and plays- unlike other teams with bloated rosters (hello money grab), tiers of girls who never get real playing time, and teams with girls who are only on the team because the coaches/clubs are too cowardly to cut them because of their schools or families. This increases team size and ruins cohesive engagement within the squad. Some teams who you pay over $2k to play on, have girls who barely know each other. Yes this sounds bitter but every year I get these same observations from the new parents on the team. I wish I had something else to tell them, as it’s too late in the season by the time they are talking to me. Everyone wants to play on the winning team so M&D are very strong for that reason. If you want to dominate in lacrosse you must be able to score points regardless of what everyone says about it’s all teamwork.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #284250 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A More info on Elite team? True and small? Does that mean few new girls each year and low roster number, how many on the team? Elite does not seem to be excelling at other age groups. Is this year just a one off exception? Best girls did not get poached to Skywalkers etc. like other years? Is the formula small roster size + low turnover scalable? Or is this just an outlier that happened to have really good players join all at once and never leave?

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Anonymous #285378 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Elite is small and losing players each year. Lost to M&D and MD United big. Well coached but losing players. M&D will also lose players this year. Lots of dissension with coach J. Peak. He micromanages from sidelines and all he does is run ISO’s. He doesn’t develop his players, have seen many good players slide with him. Wins due to talent + relies on same 4 players or so and doesn’t coach to team. Loses In big games, his coaching weaknesses are very obvious. Just watched it happen to him at NGLL. This year he will likely lose several good players, Robinson is too distracted doesn’t have a good pulse on his teams as long as they are “winning.” Watch the trend start to happen. Look at MD United and Skywalkers this summer - they have much stronger and smarter coaching and are developing their teams and players more broadly.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #285393 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A What's that? The mighty mouthy M&D fell at their own declared National Champion tournament? Monsters owned them. Was not even as close as the final score. I guess little Suzy can't actually, just go to goal, all the time. NY will own the US Nationals and the National (Maryland) Championship. Just finishing what TG can't. What is with the constant screaming from the M&D coach? LOL. Enjoy your day. I know we will (or did).

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Anonymous #285428 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I have never posted to this forum because it is parents acting like fools. Once again, I read this forum and come across this. I am glad you take joy in 13/14 year old girls lax and a team losing. The Monster / M&D game was a good game, and congrats to Monster for winning the game. The girls (not you) deserved to win. They played hard. Each team has a parent like you and I suppose you are that parent for Monster. Parents like you are what drives kids out of the sport. Trying to relive your days through your kid. No need to take your jock-strap and throw it on the table to compare sizes. You are a complete joke. As you state in your post, “The mighty mouthy M&D fell at their own declared National Championship" tournament, is a silly comment. The girls play for M&D, yes, Robinson owns the league, but why would you bash the girls for playing on a team? No girls from M&D proclaimed they were the champions, nor did coaches or parents. The girls lace up their cleats and play each game. There is a winner and a lost. Again, you're a joke. Congratulations to the 2023 Monster for making the championship game. And congratulations to the 2023 CT Grizzlies for winning the National Championship. See how that works...no need to denigrate 13/14 year old kids. Congratulations to both teams. WIN WITH GRACE, LOSE WITH DIGNITY

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #288379 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I was watching the YJ and M&D black game and YJ coach was yelling something about M&D girls using their butts(so?) he was referring to their sticks they must have been pulling up their stick butts in a defensive manner. Also can we just call a spade a spade and admit that SW are a cult? Every game warmup in season and at tournaments is observed by all parents. Post game talks are attended by parents. I know it isn’t that much of a common knowledge but don’t the coached ever want the privacy and dignity of holding talks with the girls without parents listening in so they can just get the job done without fear of meddling dads? It look so creepy too. None of the other teams have this happen.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 TM@BOTC #288619 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Here is a piece of unsolicited advice for the administration of M&D .... since you don't seem to believe your team parents that are complaining to you -you should come watch every M&D team that has a parent coach in this final tournament. Bring a clipboard and track how much playing time daughters of coaches and assistant coaches are getting. And then ask yourself: Should that player be starting ? And starting every game ? Should that player be in the ENTIRE game ? What are they accomplishing while they are in the game ? Are they scoring or turning the ball over or missing easy shots ? Are they getting consistently burned on defense ? And most importantly - Who is on the bench while they are in the entire game ? Are the girls on the bench players that could be contributing and changing the outcome of the game ? And are the girls sitting on the bench so that the coach's daughter can play either the entire game or 90% of it ? Please take an honest look at those questions. If you don't - you while keep finding your players at clinics at Skywalkers and Coppermine and at early tryouts at Heros and Skywalkers. And my unsolicited advice extends to parents from other clubs considering M&D (or any other club team with parent coaches). Go and watch and see what level the daughters of coaches are and where they fall on the roster and then compare that to the amount of playing time they get and what they do while they're playing. Most times you'll be concerned by what you see.

Re: Girls 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Anonymous #288657 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Yes...Yes it actually is. That is the coaches job. To prepare and build up all the players, to play. That is called coaching. Otherwise the player should be let go or not on the team, at all. This is not college or a professional sport. The only revenue contributed to a club and the coaches pay, is from players parents. Not from fans of sponsorships.

The teams will do what they can to try to win. All teams have different level of talent from top to bottom. Once in high school most the tournaments are showcases and thus every girl should play at least half the game. Saying a player shouldn't be on the team because the coach doesn't play them in a championship tournament is silly. If the parent feels they would be better off somewhere they would play more they should move them. The clubs like M&D expect their coaches to try to win championships when they can.

The original post was to a question on is it the coach's fault if your kid doesn't play and the response was that yes the coach should build up all the kids so that they can play or let them go if they can't. My reading comprehension is just fine. How's yours?

If you can score a goal a certain way, its going to go in. If their stars are not all aligned, it doesn't work for them. Sure, our team lost to them a few times this year, but not by much. I guess we thought that we'd be more impressed, or come away from the game wide-eyed at what just happened.. Their ratio of goals attempted vs scored was way high, lots hit the pipe or just missed. When we played YJ we were much more OK with losing because they hit us like a bear!

If YJ hit you like a bear in your loss to them, and you were ok with that, then my guess is M&D missed shots in their game against you because they were playing down to your team’s level. My second guess is they probably paid for playing down to your team’s level at the next practice, with a ton of running and shooting.

Only so much PT to go around and the position guarantees to jump ship will knock a few M&D players out of their comfortable positions. That says a lot about a coaches lack of ability to develop. I am certain there will be a lot of face smiles while undercutting behinds the scenes. Brag all you want about being scary good and your showcase victories. I bet the book bags and T-shirts will be amazing. Say what you want about Heros. They maintain a proper number of field players to achieve what the true objective is...playing, development, and views. And the whole team actually like each other. TG out coaches M&D. They do not have half the athletes that M&D has. Neither do a lot of teams, but yet...they lose. So be sure to come back and remind us all how much scarier M&D is once the year is over.
