Great! Even more comradery, since this girl is making 'A' team players bump down to the 'B' team...
That's whats great about the YJ program, No spot is guaranteed if there is no progression, You have to bust your but to work hard to keep your spot and that is the way it should be on all programs.....Happens every year at YJ tryouts,girls get bumped all the time. Why do you think all the YJ rejects are at Leg? Remember that program was started on the back of disgruntled players that were demoted at YJ and decided to go to Leg..Same thing with the one's that moved down from TG Black to purple.. They all ended up on Leg. Has nothing to do with comradery but how CR, BS and SS runs their program and how the kids progress each year. If kids are not progressing they have to move. Programs are in it to win. Can't win on a A team filled with B players hence the lack of talent on Leg.
Wow. sounds like someone needs some professional help. Please put down the bottle and focus on your 12 step program. First step is to admit that you have a problem.
Actually sounds right to me. Not fond of them bashing Leg, but I agree with the essence.... Get your [lacrosse] in gear or lose your spot, thank goodness. People crying about lack of loyalty to players, brokered landing spots for studs etc... Know what? that is exactly what draws the top players to the program. They want to be a part of the best assembly of players that they can . And once you are a part of it, keep up with it or your gone. No complacency. You also need to be accepting if your daughter can't keep up. The harshest reality I see repeat itself in girls lacrosse over and over is parents lax skilling a kid up. 2nd and 3rd grade Suzie really starts to stand out. 4th and 5th grade she is lights out and owns the field. 6th and 7th grade things seem to be evening out. 8th and 9th grade-what the [lacrosse] just happened? All these kids with a head start with the skills eventually get caught up to. The kids with speed, vision, athletic ability and pure aggression take over. Those are the things you cant train or teach, they are born with it. Point is that it is absolutely necessary to replace at tryouts in order to remain at the very top of the competition. There are many teams out there with a completely different philosophy, and there is a fit for everyone. Stop complaining about what a shame tryouts are, the track record of the top teams speaks for itself. The end justifies the means.
