putting up with Baseball kids

[tiplax]

in my HS, lacrosse is a new sport(2nd year and we only have a JV team). most of the kids on the baseball team make fun of us(my friends and i) and lacrosse. we just kick their a**es and make fun of them right back(our 18 kid team could eaisly win in a fight against Jv and varsity baseball) also the Hs gym teacher HATES :angry: lacrosse. he keeps trying to et us kicked out of our locker room and if he finds lax sticks in the locker room, he either takes or breaks them. i was wondering if any one else has this problem and how they respond to it?

[roxlax]

at our school our baseball coach told us if we ever find baseballs to give them to him because he makes them run for every baseball we find, so last year a bunch of us went to sports authority and bought atleast 3 dozen balls and got them a little dirty so it was believeable and we gave them to him and they had to run for a very logn time that day, the baseball team is pretty much at war with the lacrosse team at our school but they haven't been able to top that yet, the only thign they did back was throw toilet paper all over our team room, which we showed their coach and he made them do alot of running.

Just to let you know, your PE teacher has no right to confiscate your lacrosse sticks if there is no rule against having them. Breaking personal property is not only unprofessional, it is illegal. You need to report his actions and harassing behavior to your parents, advisor, and principal/headmaster.

I am a teacher and a coach and even I have problems. My problem is keeping my composure when dealing with the baseball coach. He had 12 people try out for his team (all dregs) and I had 52 try out for my lacrosse team. Needless to say, he took it personally and has engaged in a hate campaign against my players. I am still trying to solve this in a professional manner, but part of me (the defenseman side) says to just beat his face in.

Good luck though. Whatever you do, do not retaliate in any physical or threatening manner that could in any way set you and your fellow players back. Be gentlemen and leave them no room to say "Well he did {this} and he did {that}"

We only have 40 kids total on our team, and generally even the baseball kids understand that their sport is just alot of standing around. So, other than the fact our bigger players could handle the whole baseball program as a small group, the baseball kids have no real problem with us, seperate lockers in seperate parts of the locker room.

[MainLax28]

The main problem in my school is the crew kids. I swear I think they are going to try to over throw the school with an army of homosexual rowers. No, I mean it, those guys are just too close to eachother. I am sure that when we get a team next year, they will probably give us alot of crap. As for the baseball players, I believe many of them intend on switching to lacrosse as a tansition for football when we get it, so they are cool. My policy for any such crap that you are talking about is "speak softly and carry a big stick" Basically, I am cool with you until you are a dick to me. I find that one to work the best, because it always keeps them guessing whether you are crazy, or just quiet.

[WPCLAX14]

Ha! Gay-Ray, jimmy im not sure if we can take their varsity team lol. Unless you bust out the throwing stars and make a mad-fishbowl. But the gym teacher/baseball coach is a total tool, I say we burn down his house....

[Keeper#8]

The worst feeling by far is when your team is good, but your schools girls team is best in state. That happened a couple years ago at my old school... Girls Lax in NC isn't very competative but our school put together a very athletic team that won the state championship last year 17-3. All the power to them, but our team who went like 12-6 andwho was in a very competative guys league got no respect from anyone...

didnt teddy roosevelt say the "speak softly and carry a big stick"

o and as for the baseball thing u can just get the biggest kids and have them beat the crap outta the baseball team... but that might have a bad consequence

Yeah, that is probably my favorite quote ever

[tlaing22]

Here's my 2 cents:

Baseball kids can keep running their mouths because once they are done being their sweet Varsity High School baseball players, most likely they aren't going to play in college or pro ball or ever again.

Lacrosse is great because there are so many club teams and different groups where you can just go play. You can play if your crappy or you can play if you were an All-American, but in baseball it just comes down to them remembering the days of how they were great baseball players in high school. I'll always remember how great of a time I had playing until I was 60.

[Longpole5435]

baeball players were hitting balls ionto where me and my friends were throwing. i scooped one up, and domed one of their kids right on the head. they moved after that.

I know how you feel its the same at my school. The girls team took state 2 years in a row and they look like there going to take it again this year.

It's the exact opposite in our school. Many kids try out for baseball to see if they make it and if they dont, they play lacrosse since we don't have tryouts. The baseball coaches took this into condieration, and started accepting ANYONE that tried out for the team. I know for a fact that they do not need a 27 man roster.

It's all politics.

[odysseybmx54]

As of right now, Our JV and Varsity have about 20 kids. Each. No biggie, it's probably going to be the only time you hear people *****ing about playing time. A few kids quit playing because of baseball. Pansies. Then some kids who don't make the team are going to come play with us. So yeah.

[tomahawks11]

everyones gotta relax... im not saying i hate beaseball players, but i dont really find baseball that exciting. we all have to get along. even if that means trying out baseball, or them trying out lacrosse. eventually, its gunnna get out of hand and friends will turn against friends who play the opposite sport. You need skill to play baseball. You need skill to play lacrosse. Whatever the problem is, you need to act professionaly about it, and not act childish by saying stuff like "baseball sucks" "its for sissys" and stuff like that. They probably think the same about lacrosse, and that it sucks or is for sissys. You need guts to stand in front of 100mph pitches. You need guts to stand in front of 100mph shots. No matter what, there will always be people who will hate lacrosse and people who hate baseball, so we may as well forget about destroying baseball or "burning down a gym teachers house" you should treat the baseball players with respect, and dont diss their sport. Eventually after they see lax players showing them respect, they will stop putting down lacrosse and may even try it out and like it more than baseball.

thats my opinion on it anyways

[TXD2LAX]

I saw this on a lax site a couple of years ago:

Yes. Best. Post. Ever.

[FHS_D-POLE]

the baseball coach at our school is the athletic director and he tried to make lacrosse not a cif sport(pretty much a real high-school sport for california and not be considered a club team) are field is right by baseball's and we always throw balls over on accident and they always keep them and throw them to the infield so on time while they were practicing my friend bombed on way infield and almost hit the pitcher

[odysseybmx54]

Cool. If I were you, I wouldn't mess with the baseball kids. You're lucky enough that your school sponsors the sport. Try to not piss off the coaches and what not. Right now we're lucky enough to be able to use the middle school gym for practices.

[bethsc]

I agree 100% with your reply, but I would add another item to take care of this dope of a teacher. 1. First create a paper trail, documenting time, place of each transgression. 2. Send this letter to the school Supt. and not the prinicpal. 3. Send a additional copy to the NYS Board of Education, c/o NYS School Supt. There is a ethics panel that investigates any issue that is warranted. This one is! 4. Don't tell this coach nothing and let the school district and the school board, that there are 100's of attorneys that have nothing better to do than sue a school district...

[crazydrew86]

i am in middle school and i have the baseball coach as my history teacher. He gives me a really hard time.

[beast416]

Our baseball team sucks and everyone because everyone plays lacrosse instead. I dont hate the players because baseball players are ok, but i hate the game with a passion.

[shaOLinLaxxer]

baseball isnt a problem really rarely do we share the field.. my school as more of a problem with the track and field kids. they do pole vaulting right behind the net so balls are always flying at them. One track kid took one of the balls that was by them and threw it on the train tracks behind the field. Our coach got in an argument with the kid and his coach. Then him and his friends came in our locker room and poured gatorade everywhere so some of the kids on my team went in their lockeroom and tore down the posters

[odysseybmx54]

Damn dude, What a bunch of dicks. I woul be throwin punches and what not if somebody did that to me or my team. I hate kids liek that. I just wish people wouldn't start **** over an accident

[BeIVdeR]

i play both baseball and lax
of course i quit my school baseball, which blows, to play school lax and i play travel baseball, baseball can b boring, and watching it sumtimes is also a bore, but i think it can sumtimes b fun

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

We have no problems with the baseball kids. Theres no baseball field at our school so they have to walk to the closest one. We only have problems with soccer kids. Theres only one field and it has a soccer net on it. We always have to move to another area to play. We have a large enough area so its alright.

yeah we also have to share space with the soccer team.... girls soccer.....not a real sport

[laxpimp]

Haha, i love being in Canada, All the varsity hockey players play lax, and if they don;t have gameenough, they are shifted to trying out for the baseball team. LOLSHISMOMN (Laugh Out Loud So Hard I Squirt Milk Out My Nose)

[NBClaxgoalie07]

the baseball kids bent a d-pole pretty bad last year

we happened to have a better record then they did even as a first year program

[Trilax03]

aha baseball...try track...for us those stupid track kids got us kicked off of our turf field so they can throw javelins and shot puts into our BN turf field! way to ruin it for everyone else...and the track coaches HATE us to the extreme and started to threaten lacrosse players in the hallway...but yeah baseball is not really a problem for us...yet.

[tiplax]

^^^ lucky. track kicked girls soccer of our good field so now girls soccer practices with us on our crappy field

nicely said. you need to give respect to get respect. this year the coach made it a rule that the varsity lax team has to go to at least one other varsity sport game a week. i think thats a pretty good idea, because once we do that, they will be more likely to go to our games.

[Krash9]

I think my lax team would beat the hell out of most baseball teams but i dunno about our own as I'm pretty sure more than just a couple of them are on steroids.

[swish7209]

[QUOTE=laxmiddie8]didnt teddy roosevelt say the "speak softly and carry a big stick"

yeah he got it from some african dude i just finished that crap in social

[swish7209]

Damn dude, What a bunch of dicks. I woul be throwin punches and what not if somebody did that to me or my team. I hate kids liek that. I just wish people wouldn't start **** over an accident

same it just doesnt feel good to get revenge i always just wanna go off on people

[kryptomiddie]

alright the best player on a baseball sits on their buts at least fifty percent of the game. while in lacrosse some of the best players are always on the field.

[unholygoalie10]

man all you should feal lucky down here in houston its a war with the foot ball players we have to find our own fealds cuz we mess up theres and the coachs hate us because we always steal there players also we dont even get locker rooms to fight in with people we're forsed to practice off campus and its just flat out comes down to here football players and lacrosse players dont mix
texas sucks 4 lacrosse players

[New Canaan Lax]

yea i no really, whats up with those baseball fags!?

[BlaxMcashX]

Last week the baseball team took everyones lacrosse bags and put them in the shower. The bags were soaked and let's just say the baseball team was to after all the running they had to do.

[HTlax09]

F**K BASEBALL...bunch of c**ksuckers all they do is walk aorund thinking their cool when they bash lacrosse players. I dont even say anything back cause when i think about it, I cant get over the fact that someone would actually think baseball is a tougher sport then lax.

[A-Tack28]

our baseball team has won 4 games in the last 3 years so they try to give us s*** for playing lacrosse but they pretty much shut their mouth when we bring up their record compared to ours.

[BayCityLax]

our baseball coach's are worried about there athletes getting taken away so they dont like us

[pclax41]

I guess every lacrosse team (unless ur like state champ or something ) has problems with other teams..
last year (our first year) the whole school went into like anti-lax.. so you know who came out? the kids with attitudes who didn't listen to their coaches from the other teams and kids who have never played any sport b4.. great combo!!
and this year we compete with track.. effin TRACK!! there should be no competition at all with track... hmm lets see do I want to run for miles w/o end in the heat of florida.. or play an awesome sport like lax where i can still run and own some people... we lost like 3 or 4 quality atheltes who showed great potential to effin TRACK! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

as for baseball.. we dont even bother eachother.. like i dont even know the coach or the players..
as for fields we play on soccer's field.. which they dont like.. and god forbid if we played on the football field

[ChargerCane7]

Hmph....you guys have to deal with either track OR baseball OR soccer OR football....

You guys are lucky *******s, we have to deal with all of those @$$hole teams, plus a friggin' flag football team....

Lacrosse in Florida really doesn't get much respect....

[BayCityLax]

i think every new lacrosse program will get problems from all the other spring sport teams because it is taking all there athletes and they cant do **** about it.

[LinkPlaysLax]

i guess i've got it pretty nicely here. we don't fight with anybody and the only real problem is us getting a field to practice on. we aren't school sponsered so we get last pick on field time but it's still alright. we don't really lose kids to other sports except maybe the football kids in the fall, and if the baseball players don't make their team, they join lax. it's cool i suppose

[alaguardia31]

the baseball team trys to take our water jug and they dont allow sticks in the locker room, the baseball team gives us crap all the time, so when they take our jug we take the water off the field, we hide the bases in the trees when they mess witht he sticks

[MDlaxin69]

im so glad our HS doesnt have a baseball team. just lax.

[DoubleZero]

in fl we would have a problem with the football team cause they like to play in off-season but the coaches dont want them hurt but its ok cause the head coach was all american at colgate for football and lax so they dont give us **** but the baseball players always hate on us and try and say they could beat us at lax so we just tell them to bring it but they always puss out

[drifter8027]

all the baseball kids at my school try to tell me lacrosse isn't a real sport, but it's funny because it's like hundreds of times more exciting than baseball

[tiplax]

that's what i say to the baseball players in my school. all they do is stand around and once every hour they run 90 feet to 1st base

[McCool123011]

there is a town meeting cause he made the school board cut the budget for sports teams.

[devillax57]

At my school the baseball players and the lacrosse players get along fine...its just the school board and the football coaches that dont like us.
