Coaching on both teams is suspect -just good talent

☝🏻

Pretty sure all the teams saying that at tryout time.

They were backups on their former teams

To be honest and fair most players leaving/joining new teams were backups looking for a new opportunity. That is minus the handful of players making the bump up from B to A.

There are two types of back-up players, a backup to a coach's kid, and a true backup.

Sounds like a starter's dad is worried....

Message from LBC Lacrosse Club: LBC 2025 has two teams this season, Black and Red. Due to player turnover and the addition of a second team we are looking for goalies interested in competing in the A Division. LBC 2025 Black is a very solid, competitive team that will play great competition. If you wish to tryout or have made a B team and would like to compete at a higher level, please reach out by email to: lbclacrosse@gmail.com. Thank you, LBC Lacrosse Club

You have it figured out. I’m truly worried about your 24 playing on a 25 team that still can’t break the starting lineup.

Or you could be worried that your kid is 1 step closer to getting bumped to the B team.

It has been brought to my attention that my kid might be one of the kids being bashed here on this forum. Whether it is her or other girls this is completely ridiculous and parents writing should be ashamed of themselves. My daughter is one of the MANY kids who moved teams, despite being a starter and playing her preferred position. There are NUMEROUS reasons why a kid or family choose to move teams. And it is truly their private business. More often than not the reasons are not nearly as scandalous as people want to speculate. We should be cheering on these kids. Encouraging them to enjoy the sport, be good leaders who wish their competitors and their teammates well. Enough of the bashing and speculating. This time of year is stressful enough with tryouts and possible changes without the need to bring others down, especially kids.

If your club has a B team -you are already at the wrong club

So clubs like MD United, LBC, MnD, SW and Hero's are the wrong clubs? detest all of them except 1 but respect the fact that they are established and provide a vehicle to allow girls to play an showcase their talents. Some of them even get lucky enough to continue playing in college.

You’re 100% correct. M & D, Skywalkers, Heros, and MD United all are horrible organizations........says no one!

I agree only M&D red worth being on the B team. Nice money grab for the clubs -always sucker parents buying into the B team mentality.
