It is definitely not late in the game to switch clubs and will continue for the next two years at least...

It is hilariously early for 8th or 9th grade girls to be doing showcases unless you like to put stress on your daughter or want the practice. Totally feeding into the money grab. No one is watching or cares what is going on from a college perspective in 8th grade...

not to late to move, just weird its all happening mid season

and cray that people got better deals to stay after they made there intentions known

What kind of deals?

Well, there is a breakpoint between "better deals" and "good riddance". Player skill and parental pain are both factors. You may think your daughter is "god's gift" to lacrosse and the team, but the coaches see the deficiencies and how they affect the team as well...not listening, passing. There are too many girls that will get into the car and end up crying because they didn't shoot enough or score goals to satisfy Mom or Dad's fragile egos. All kids want to please their parents and that pressure causes many to do the wrong thing. Hurts the team and the coaches know it and the other parents see it and know it as well. "Go ... (insert name) shoot it, every team has them... Change eventually works for everyone...have at it.

What team or teams are you referring to?

As they say in poker - If you don’t know who the mark is, then it’s you!

Agreed! Unlike poker, we are not all seated at the same table. With multiple teams at this age group, at least 7-10 on LI alone, the author of the post could be referencing any of these teams......the author seems to know specific information about specific kids on a specific team......why make the post without mentioning the details? If not willing to include details then don't make the post.

You know who you are...and if you don't, look closer in the mirror.

If people posting here had to actually back up their comments with details or facts this thread would be like 2 pages long instead of 40. There's been nonsensical jabbering for a few months now about the four horsemen are leaving their current 2025 team (no details on which team they're actually from) to save another LI team (again, unclear which one or of it actually needs to be saved). People seem to think that "you know who you are" wink wink, nod nod passes for facts and if they're able to get a couple people who know even less about the situation to pile on it becomes gospel.

Can we come up with some new material for the new year people?

40 pages of everyone flighting who the second best team is.

most uncompetitive grade by a long shot

Lol. Most uncompetitive grade. Oh no, my ego... Girls will be fine.

Oh, and do you really want your name called out as the parent that no one wants to stand next to on the sideline because you are so painful?

We have never been on the same sideline no matter how hard you’ve tried to be.

"We have never been on the same sideline no matter how hard you’ve tried to be."

False. All the parents are on one side and the players and coaches are on the other.

The top ten will beat each other often when they get to high school ages. Happens with all other years and will happen with 2025's. Those with older daughters know this is true.
