You may advance, but you don’t win and won’t until the mommy coach opens her eyes… roster changes were made, but not the right ones…

Cant wait to see you again and lose again.[/quote]

So who won on the BWI game today? Hero’s or Integrity? The score hasn’t been posted yet.

Probably no one. It is 7v7 on a tiny field with horrible refs.

Integrity 16-14

So don’t play.

Don't worry by next year the best players will be poached by better clubs than Integrity and they will stink .

Keep it classy Randall. Hero’s parents having a hard time now that the team doesn’t win every game, indoor or not.

Integrity is one of the better clubs for the 26's

Y’all think integrity is a dirty team even though they get the least amount of yellow cards of any team and yesterday they beat hero’s 16-14 and there was no cards on any team

Integrity is not a top club. If you don't want Spalding then no sense being there.

You sound fun to be around.

Ok, thanks mommy. Would have been a lot cooler look if the integrity parents never responded to the trolls on here. Hook, line and sinker.

Sad but he is spot on. If they are any type player they will not be at Integrity for long unless TR is giving them scholly to Spalding lol.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, Hero's parents have been trolling these waters for years...

They haven't been the top of the hill for a year or so now, at least they'll have their 4th grade trophies.

Maybe they’ll move to Hero’s and bump some of those players. Then some of theses parents will lose their sense of purpose when their D doesn’t play for HG anymore.

Why would anyone switch to a team they beat?

Have they ever beat them full squad (outdoor)?

Winter ball only matters to the parents. Most girls play other sports and indoor takes a backseat to their primary sport during winter.. Sorry if your daughter is a one sport athlete. To say that Hero's can only celebrate trophies from 4th grade only shows your jealousy.

As a parent of a Spalding player who luckily has moved on to college lax, I am so disappointed that TR is using the program to line her own pockets with promises of V & playing time to Integrity players. She isn’t even transparent about it. I have a 26 who will be attending HS at a different school. I know of two 25 players who chose to attend elsewhere because they don’t play for Integrity. I don’t understand why administration is tolerating it. She made the AD look like a complete buffoon last year with her nonsense.

It's exactly why the LI teams wear helmets. Anytime you show up for a game and 90% of the girls from NJ or LI are wearing helmets you know what you are in for. It's usually an attempt to make up for a lack of skill with physicality. Backed up by parents who think that's "just the way the game should be played" and that everyone else is soft.

What happened with the AD?

Integrity is not a top club but the 2026 team is very good and if your goal is to win tournaments, I guess, yes, go to the top club if your able to, but Integrity 26 is going to produce many D1 players when dust settles and that is the goal for a lot of players/parents.

The prior AD has been a buffoon for years, lax coach had nothing to do with that. I know plenty of 2026 players who have applied to Spalding who play for Hero's Green, M&D black and SW blue. So add those players with the 2026 Integrity players I predict a conference championship in the IAAM. Let's Go Cavs

Good luck with that.......

I got a DD that is looking at Spalding but the Integrity connection is a huge turnoff.

One player parent told me that they don't allow the full team to practice? Some have to sit and watch (one of which was commited to D1 team)?

Stay far away from Spalding if you want what is best for your daughter.

Administration and parents allow this to happen? I’ve never heard of a high school operate like this. I am floored this is allowed. So only the favorites practice and play?

I never understood why anyone would pay for their kid to go to Spalding anyway. It's a glorified public school and Severna Park is actually much nicer. If you're gonna pay money, go to to Severn or St Mary's and get a good education. Makes no sense.

Lies lies lies

Great article...

Not one 26 from Hero's Green or M&D or SW is going to Spalding. NOT ONE.

If your daughter is good she will play. It would not matter if she plays for the Jets, Looneys or any other random club. The Integrity grip is a crutch used by parents of players, who may be ok but, are not good enough to play in the IAAM.

IF YOUR DAUGHTER IS BETTER SHE WILLL PLAY, stop crying.

My DD plays at St Mary’s and I know many of the girls who play for Spalding. I have watched most of these players for years. The best Spalding players were not on the field when SM beat them. Not sure who played in other games but it was like the coaches wanted to lose. Of course SM players were happy to win.

Absolutely agree! Just like most other IAAM schools, the best players stay on the field. Some of those players happen to be from Integrity...and M&d and MDU...give it a rest people/person. Spalding has great talent now and the upcoming years from many clubs.

And everyone practices, just a large roster last year after girls were told that they wouldn’t play but they were given the option to be cut or stay and basically be on the practice team. My older daughter was one of those girls and still loved cheering on her friends from the sidelines. We have absolutely loved SP and the lax program.

Let’s move on people- your daughters actually read the garbage your irresponsibly and erroneously post.

Sounds like the coach’s problem keeping a large roster to begin with. Grow some and cut players. End of story. Then you don’t have to worry about anyone coming on here saying such irresponsible things(didn't realize the truth was now irresponsible. You must work for the media).

If it is true why can't it be discussed-snowflake

Of course they stayed, if they transferred they wouldn’t be able to play anywhere else for a year- locked into a program. Choose a school not for lacrosse but for academics. Control the controllable. In the end, it’s all about what makes them feel good and happy, and the academics will be our first look. PS offers best of both, but that’s by choice. I’ve seen it, to put the hours in and not step foot in a game year after year, putting in so many hours- can really take a toll mentally on these kids. If that’s your child’s choice and chance they want to take- hopefully there is a good leader/coach still willing to give them the personal attention and guidance the on field players are getting. Choose wisely, the next four years have a big impact determining life’s next steps. College is more competitive than ever to get into. Where will your girl be happiest? In the end, it’s an individual choice and a very personal decision.

So D1 offered players were going to be cut or they could stay on practice team? There's enough smoke to realize that there is a lot of truth to what is/was going on.

As an outsider, it really is a bad look to have a varsity HS coach affiliated with a club team.
I know there are other schools but its just a bad look.

Also, when do 2026 girls "declare" for a HS? Is there some date they must register?

Really- Lots of D1 commits rarely or never play in iaam- goalies included.
