| Would someone in the administration please use common sense and realize that there aren't enough players (nor coaches) at both the peewee and mosquito level to field two teams. And that there are enough players at the atom level where we should have two teams. That's where we need to grow. Make the right decision now.

| i can tell you hat there is enough player at the pee-wee level for 2 teams.i was there the last 2 parctice and numerous kids were thhere.and about coaches,it could help to be a couple more yes,but nothing critical.
As far as the mosquito level where my son play,the problem is that to many kids dont show up at pratice.if it stays like this,there is gonna be a probleme yes.cuz their is always around 38/40 kids at pratice.but on paper,their is around 60 from what i have heard.as for as coaches,the have the minimum also but could us a little kore experience.

| Well I would have to agree with Spectator, 50-55 players are showing for Peewee practices. Two teams of around 25-28 players with no shows barely makes a full defence and offense for full scrimmages. We saw it last year at mosquito, where coaches had to step into player spots for full scrimmages. and things do get worse when hockey starts.. I'm assuming the teams management know something we don't to keep 2 teams justfied..
On another note Atom level plays 9 players on the field, the bench is large, This is a definate 2 team scenario, I hear they are cutting players! Someone correct me please..

| Same problem at peewee, on paper, over 75 but at practice, under 60. Not a lot show up and will be worse when the holidays start. Would be interesting to know how many have actually quit out of the over 75 registered???

| Maybe another big reason that boys are few at practice is that the parcs and times and dates are constantly changing. Is anyone contacting those boys who've missed to advise? Are the coaches assuming everyone goes on the website to verify, (hope they aren't)?
Understand that there are parc problems but never seen a year that is so disorganized....

| How would you have handled the situation that the association had to face, which is the lack of fields? Remember, access to fields is controlled by the city and not by the association?
Where would you suggest that the teams should have practiced?

| Have we thought about contacting some of the other cities? vaudreuil, Pincourt, Ile Perrot etc to investigate the possibility of access to their parks?

| To curious - maybe you haven't been here long but this idea of more than one practice a week only started last year. Until then there was a once a week two hour practice. These extra practices are due to indecision and disorganization.

| To answer 'parent': I know that some of the coaches contacted other cities and they were flat refused.
To 'spectator': I was there last year and the only difference that I remember is that we had better and more predictable access to the fields.
As far as frequency of practices is concerned, I don't see any lack of organization there. For the first month, while we still had to be indoors, practices were once a week. Once the weather permitted practicing outdoors, the frequency increased to 3 times a week. Sounds sensible to me. The fact that the coaches and team managers can still round up all the kids and their parents on such short notices that they had to deal with is a tribute to their hard work and patience. As a spectator I could see how it might seem disorganized. However, only if you learn the context in which all this happened will you appreciate how incredible it actually is that the practices still took place.

| Curious - 45 out of 80 is not "rounding up all of the kids". There are a lot missing.

| My god people would you relax, St. Lazare has been a very succesful organization in the last 4 years and volunteers/administration have done a great job so if you have something to say, say it to their face instead of on the net. As far as too many players why are people taking this as a bad thing I'd rather have 60 signed up and 40 showing up then have 20 or so players like other teams in the leagues. Secondly in pre-season turnout is less cause of exams and vacations. As for the field I'm sure the administration and coaches are doing their best. Have a little faith in the organization. The organisation is only 5 years old and has jsut been growing, which is a good thing not a bad thing no?

| To reply to you people that are complaining about the amount of practices being "Very disorganized" you couldn't be more wrong-3 practices a week is an acceptable amount 1 is disorganized and very much so.

| Two teams ??? Based on yesterday's peewee turnout of 30+, I hope that we will be able to field one team. And to sum 99, as with most things in life, it's not the quantity that counts but the quality.

| The coaches of the pee-wee team announced to the players and to the parents after the Saturday practice that there would not be a practice on Tuesday and that the next practice is on Thursday.

| And again if you have any concerns, I suggest you bring them face to face with the coaches during the practices. The door is always open !
Negative venting in an anonymous fashion doesn't do much good besides creating factions.
Let's not forget were are still in pre-seasonn training.

| Attention A Spectator.
Please step up to the plate here.
The Association would not put two teams out there if there was not enough kids. The Game is for the kids.
2) if there is not enough Coachs the step up!!
Learn the fundementals and do something about it. Dont just sit here under a hidden name and spout out negativity. GET INVOLVED

| well,as for the fields,it is not the stallions fault.the fields at westwood was supose to be ready.and like last year the pratice will had left park bedard to westwood.
but it is not the reason kids are not there.may be one or two times but it is almost always the same kid that are missing so...(at mosquito level perhaps)
as far as pratice frequence,only one is not enough.if we want to be ready we need 2 or three pratice/week
and for the person that says that 60 kids registerd and only 40 show up is better than having 20 kids,i disagree.
it is better like that if you run one team.but with two team you NEED all of them.not just 40.and if you have only one team, with just 20 kids that show up,you know were you are going and what to expect.but with just 40 out of 60,they wont know their play but you cannot just bench them cuz their parents paid and will be mad if they does not play.
last mosquito pratice,not even showed up.and we use the d-line as an o-line also.so when the offense was praticing,the defense could only do drill.
ALL REGISTERED KIDS "NEED" TO SHOW UP.
this is very important.
otherwise the stallions WILL look disorganise on the fiel because of that.
