Guess Stars is better coached, works harder and has better chemistry than Skywalkers. Future is bright for those girls.

I guess its appropriate to copy this post from the main thread. Could not agree more! After hearing about their win against M&D I thought I would check them out today. They are overrated. Obviously the chemistry comment was tongue in cheek. They looked weak today in the two games I saw. Monster and Stars both deserved to win. Skywalker's defense is very good, fast, physical. They can't clear the ball. No defined clear like M&D has. The players are randomly running around. Tough job for the goalie whose stickwork is limited. Vulnerable to turnovers. The offense is non existent beyond some very good middies freelancing. No pattern, no passing, no assists. Is there any coaching going on? I did not see an assist in two games. Not impressed with them at all. Bad day huh?

SW has 6 or 7 new players and relatively new coach who took over late last season (he knows lacrosse). They are still gelling as a team and should be much improved this summer. I like the apparent parity at this age group and believe it is beneficial for all players.

The SW coach knows lacrosse. The new players are extremely athletic but will take time to work in with the existing players. All the problems regarding clears, rides, half field sets can be resolved with coaching and time, especially when you have the athletes. I expect the big four or five clubs to remain on top and remain competitive with each other.

I don't have a daughter in the 2021 division or on SKW, but watched 2021 play Monster last Sunday. They looked good with 6 or 7 new players, which means they will look even better by spring. McLaughlin knows what he is doing with that club.

Sounds a little fishy...Don't have a daughter that age nor on SW, but you just watch enough 2021 SW games to know they have 6 new girls that have improved the team? When I watch them play I see 3 or 4 girls frantically running the ball down the field with no transition game. Diving and drawing 8 meters I guess could be considered good coaching.

The Hero's goalie always gives M&D problem. But they never keep her in the hole game. The two goalies from these team M&D and Hero's have the best two goalies in the age group. It's all way fun to watch them play each other.

Hey Hero's goalie dad if they have 2 goalies then both should play no matter the team they are playing.

This isn't rec lacrosse every one doesn't get equal playing time. That's the problems these day's parents think just because their child made a team and they paid the dues that it guarantee playing time. Club sport in general there is no guarantee. Best players should be in the game. Don't know the situation with the these team but I have two boy that play and I have seen angry parents because their child doesn't play that much.

Wow! ^ Yup, right there exhibit one in selfishness and short-sightedness. Okay, Mr or Mrs It's all about my kid, when supposed second string goalie does not get the playing time that the parents who paid were expecting? Well, as you are probably saying - "there are plenty of other clubs out there". And chances are that is what they will do. But, then, if you say - "fine - there are plenty of goalies out there." And that's where your selfishness and short-sightedness will get the better of you. Bro, lacrosse is a very small community - word will get out very quickly about the treatment of the "backup goalie" on said team and the 'dbag goalie dad'. And then you will have to settle for desperate 3rd tier talent. And you say "so what, they are the backup". Then, what happens if God forbid your auspicious 'golden cow' of a starting goalie should get injured? Who do you turn to? Or worse case scenario - nobody wants to pay that money and do that travelling to sit around and watch their daughter work on her tan on the sidelines. For field players - playing time balance can be finagled with and not be so obvious. We all know goalie parents are a little on the excessive side - its very obvious to them when the rotation is only a bit uneven.

Actually most clubs try to give equal playing time. That's why most clubs try to carry under 20 girls so they can get everyone playing time, including goalies if they carry 2.

What do you mean each of the goalies? The one that left before last year left because she was basically told she wouldn't make the team and she should look elsewhere. The one that left this fall year left because she wanted to start at another club. The parents wanted her to stay with M&D.

No, I was not referring to anyone in particular. And I've heard of the situation at M&D - that was not as I had referred to. I was mostly replying to the goalie dad who always seems to post complaints about why his "golden child" is not playing goal all the time when apparently it's the "other" goalie losing games for them. I guess, it's more of a generalized response. I wonder what's going to happen when that particular goalie dad gets to high school and it's not his prodigy that is the starter. Bad juju?

The goalie after year 1 was let go because of her crazy parents. Had nothing to do with the player. She has been on at least 5 club teams for the same reason. It's really a shame.

First of all, let's not forget that any opportunity to pursue higher education is just that, an opportunity. That's why it's called higher education because it's beyond the basics that are offered to everyone. As for me, I would hope that none of my own kids ever lose sight of the fact that their college choice has to be one that is a financially sound decision. The earliest recruits tend to get scholarship offers and that equates to sound financial decision making as far as many are concerned. And as for limiting a child, I certainly would not want to limit mine to a small, liberal arts college from which they will graduate with a mountain of debt to pay back over half of their adult life. And as for a large, public university like Maryland, the possibilities are pretty much endless as for a field of study. It's the best bargain going if you live in the state of Maryland and are fortunate enough to be offered a scholarship and an opportunity to attend. And, by the way, their lacrosse teams tend to consistently rank in the top five in the country. SOLD!
