Posted by Curious on July 11, 2025, 1:26 pm

Where is the coach of the young New Lenox Lightning team. Seen parents out coaching them in St Charles. Wanted daughter to try out for this team.

Unfortunately that coach decided to leave his team high and dry literally. Just decided to up and quit the team/org with no notice. Kids had 2 more tournaments left- parents stepped up to Coach this weekend so the kids didnt have to forfeit. They are canceling their last tourney to KC.

NLL will have two 13/14 teams still this upcoming season.

I know the current board doesn't allow for personal attacks, at least on some, but what would possibly be a reason for a coach to leave mid-season?

As a parent in this organization, I can say that this team won’t quit. They are an exceptional group of girls with a love of the game like no other. They are strongly representing New Lenox Lightning this weekend and showing everyone what each and every one of them is made of. They all deserve to end their season with their heads held high, showing everyone what they are capable of. They are turning heads this weekend, as they should…..each and everyone of these girls has grit, tenacity and respect for one another. Proud to be part of NLL!

Do you have more information? What NLL team are you referring to. There are teams based out of St. Charles and teams based out of New Lenox. The New Lenox 14u teams held tryouts on Monday but I am sure they would do a private tryout. I think they have 2-3 teams that will be playing at the 14U level next year

The news is concerning the 13/14u lightning team out of new lenox. NLL had two teams at 14u this year. The older team is moving up to 16u for 25/26. The younger team just had their coach leave them on Monday. The Parents on that team have stepped up and are coaching the girls.

Next year NLL is talking about 2-3 teams competing at 14u. There are for sure two new teams going there for 25/26. I haven't heard what's go to happen with the girls who lost their coach.

That team is really solid too. Just looked and they went 3-0 at the stars and strips with out that coach and his daughter there.

If your in St Charles give those girls a fist bump and those parents your support. I was happy to hear they pulled together and are rising above this.

Maybe they can teach some adults a little something about fulfilling your commitments.
