Bottom of the Barrel CFC and FSA U17 ECNL at Florida

[Unregistered]

Jesus, can the CFC and FSA U17 s get a more pathetic schedule down in Florida? FSA opponents a collective 6-34-4 and CFC a 6-34-10. FSA already blown out 5-1 this year by SUSA. Why bother making the trip ? If they down both don't come back undefeated its gonna be a long spring. At least Oakwood plays real competition.

You do understand it's a showcase right? Not about wins/losses. It's about exposure to coaches. That's why all the kids play.

The reason to go is to play in front of college coaches and a lot of them. Hopefully both teams play well and showcase the talent they have.

Yes you're there to play in front of coaches, absolutely. Coaches don't care about showcase results; they're their to see you play. But lower brackets typically don't get as many coaches as higher ones. As was said a lot of 2021 classes are already solidified or at least top prospects have gotten their offers already. The ones that still aren't committed better be hustling right now to get emails out to schools that aren't done yet.

Your kid must not play ECNL. There are no “brackets” at all at the FL showcase. There is a game schedule by age group, that’s it. Coaches aren’t choosing to go watch the higher brackets. They’re watching players.

Fool! There are absolutely "brackets". The top teams from different regions play each other mostly. The teams between .350 and .700 winning percentages generally play each other and then they put most of the CFC teams and all of the FSA teams in the "brackets" against other teams below a winning percentage of .350 so they play each other.

#1 Reason- Goal. They had terrible keepers last year. That problem should be solved this year.

#2- Coach has them for 2nd year and they already showed improvement under him last year.

#1 Reason Goal? LOL. Calling out the CFC keepers. Nice.

Actually they are the same as last year. Whats that about the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result?. Oh yea,they brought a new one and she's not what was advertised if you actually have seen her play she's in well over her head, her ability and over her age group. Of course in Florida there won't be any shots on goal on them with that competition. Wait till the season unfolds it will get very ugly very fast.

Coach? Yea, He's a real positive calm motivating inspiring influence. lol.

Gonna be a very long year.

Goal can't get any worse. Whether new keeper is not as advertised, she's certainly better than the 10 others they rotated in and out in previous years.

Marked improvement with new coach compared to JO.

Chemistry is the issue.

Its hard to find a keeper that can handle 10-15 SOG a game with multiple breakaways with a team full of showcase players. Be careful what you ask for daddy.

She should stop all of the 30 shots on goal!! Totally her fault and not the other 10 that can't get the ball to the offensive half and keep it there for more than one long ball!

Yea this is the team and coach that benched their regular keepers last year and bought in the lower age group wonder kids that got their heads handed to them also 2 straight games. That experiment didn't last long either. Gee maybes its far deeper than the keeps Einstein?

Fool? I understand exactly how it works, not my first rodeo, but thanks. My point was, there are no “brackets” as there are in many other showcases/tournaments. Yes, teams are matched up by prior results accordingly, but you will not find brackets anywhere. It’s one long list of the schedule by age group (as I stated originally). Coaches cannot look at an ECNL showcase schedule and decide to go watch the “top brackets”.

Anyone thats seen this team play can see the keepers (no matter who they are) go out there tight as hell. Some of them look like they cant breath. The coach, players and parents are a bad mix. They all deflect any blame they might have and focus it on whichever keeper is in goal. I pity the new keeper (if they even have one) .
She will be behind a team that can't move the ball effectively or seamlessly into the other end, plays lazy defense, doesnt communicate and has a coach that call out the keepers and has them constantly paralyzed with fear. Noone can play under those circumstances especially a 17 year old keeper who already has pressure on her from the nature of the position.
She better be a wonder women because she will get hammered with shots and open breakaways and then when they inevitably go in she will be the scapegoat with a nasty coach and crew. Heaven help her.
