Parents Roles in Madlax All-Stars
You Should be Proud!
Your son just made a very, very strong lacrosse program and is going to get a lot better this year if he commits and works hard. He is a talented and athletic young man and has a very bright future. Now that he has made it I want to remind returning parents and inform new parents of how we see your roles ideally in Madlax All-Stars.
Stay Positive and Supportive!
It’s an exciting time to watch your boys play on game day and it can be frustrating at times, trust me, we know. All coaches are trained, experienced and understand the game at a high level having played and/or coached at the collegiate level. The Directors and coaches have a specific training plan and goals within each team./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/64707151/BOB_8839.0.0.jpeg)
We simply ask that you are always trusting and supportive of the coaches. If you have an issue with a coach please email the directors but never address a coach right after a game or directly.
By being supportive of Madlax and the coaches and understanding and trusting of our process you’re helping the boys develop their passion for the game of lacrosse. You are also making it a much more fun environment for them to play in. Although Madlax plays the best players to win in league games and playing time is never guaranteed (read written playing time policy here), we are not a win at all cost club. In fact, it is more important that we are developing the boys skills and overall understanding of the lacrosse while acting in line with our C.A.S.E. initiative. Ideally we are enabling the boys to have fun while they work hard to improve. There is a greater chance of this happening for your sons if you stay positive and supportive!
Don’t talk to your son or coach from the sideline.
When the parents scream ‘SHOOT!’ or ‘PASS!’ or “Just RUN!” it is distracting and confusing for them. Often times it is just plain wrong and frustrating for coaches. It’s hard not to get caught up in it for players this young. It is VERY hard. We get that. We know we even have some parents who have played college lacrosse but even those parents must refrain from coaching and speaking to your sons during games. Talk with your sons all you want after the game or before but please…NOTHING during the game. Let him learn and enjoy the experience on his own. Also please never stand on the bench sideline or on the endline if possible. We would also strongly encourage you that when you do speak with your son about lacrosse that it is positive and about his effort and attitude more than about plays or mistakes he made on the field. You will burn him out if that is all he hears and he just wont want to play anymore for risk of being scolded in the car ride home. Try to celebrate assists more than goals, ground balls more than hits and being coachable and a good teammate more than anything else.
THANK YOU!
We understand you are making a sacrifice and taking a lot of time and spending a lot of money in having your sons play Madlax. We take this fact seriously and therefore try to maximize our time with them. The players who commit and attend the most will have the greatest experiences. Thank you for bringing them to every practice and game and taking on these simple roles as a Madlax parent. Please communicate early and often if you have to miss something or be late for academic or personal reasons. We look forward to a fun and very successful season coaching your boys!
ENJOY the Season!
Play with Passion,
Cabell Maddux, Madlax Founder
Playing Time Philosophy for Madlax All-Stars Teams
Madlax plays to win in tournaments and spring league games that have a Championship. So, some boys will not play at all unless we are leading comfortably in Championship format tournaments or spring league games.
That score lead amount is the head coaches decision as it varies from team to team. In scrimmages or play days or showcases where there is NOT a championship we will play everyone although it will still not be even time. Ideally, Madlax coaches can play everyone in games evenly and still be able to win a game no matter what the format. You will learn, however, that that doesn’t always happen.
Playing time is not guaranteed or promised for any player on any team. It is earned. The coaches have the right to play the best players to help Madlax teams win any game. If players miss practices coaches reserve the right to not play or limit playing time in games and tournaments. That said, in high school recruiting tournaments or showcases, Madlax coaches will make every effort to play every player evenly. Coaches will almost always use a set EMO and MDD team which alters playing time as well.
Boys should address playing time concerns directly with their coach on their own at any point, but again, never the parents.
Boys might ask, “Coach, what can I do or what do I need to do better to earn more playing time?” If parents still want to discuss playing time they may email a director 24 hours after a game but should never address a coach on the field regarding playing time.
It is our wish that all parents try to remain positive and support the TEAM your son is on rather than focus solely on his playing minutes. Parents are requested to encourage their sons to work harder in practice to earn playing time. Practices are where the most improvement is made and playing time is truly earned.
That said, the Madlax directors and coaches understand it is hard to watch your son not play. Please trust that we are working hard in practices to help your son improve and we hope he is as well so eventually he is getting more minutes. We always try to preach that a player who has 1 shift in a game or 15 shifts can have equal impact if you treat every shift as a chance to prove yourself.
Finally, practices are where players improve the most and earn playing time more so than in games so emphasize attendance there for your son.
Thanks for your support. Best of luck to your sons.

Gunnery School (USA) – secondary education abroad
Brief description: The school was founded in 1850 by one of the ideologists of American pedagogy – Frederick Gunn. The standard of education here has remained unchanged since then – the main emphasis is on the development of personal qualities, diligence and physical health. In addition to the main programs, there are many circles and seminars dedicated to civic responsibility, leadership skills and communication.
The school has its own self-government – “prefects” are elected from among the students. Individual studies are also encouraged, whether it be working on your own research or personal music lessons. Each student’s progress is monitored by his personal mentor.
The school is located in a green area in the vicinity of the small town of Washington, adjacent to the Steep Rock Reserve. But clean air and untouched nature by no means mean being cut off from civilization: New York is only two hours away by car, Boston is three.
This is a small school that tries to pay maximum attention to the characteristics of each teenager in order to find the ideal options for further education for him.
The school employs two qualified consultants who advise students on choosing a university. For this, a thorough analysis of the grades and individual characteristics of a teenager, as well as observation of work in circles, is used. High school students regularly go on excursions to colleges and universities, take part in education fairs. The training program here can vary greatly depending on what the future career of a teenager will be.
Students often top the lists of winners of regional olympiads and competitions: in 2014, the school won first place in New England in physics in the Division II National Physics Bowl competition.
School athletes not only regularly win regional championships – for some of them, Gunnery opens the way to professional sports. In 2014, the school team took first place in the National Boys’ Rowing Championship. The name of the top universities where students enter: American University, Boston College, Indiana University at Bloomington, New York University, Pennsylvania State University – (College of Engineering), Princeton University, The University of Alabama, University of Edinburgh, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Mary Washington, University of Oregon, University of Richmond, University of Toronto.
Notable alumni of the school include writer Gerald Brace.

102 disciplines, training is conducted in four areas:
- STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics)
- Entrepreneurship
- Languages and Culture
- Humanities
Sports:
