Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's unfair to repeat the thorns coach's opinion on academy soccer versus high school soccer? Is that because now that academy soccer is paying him he's changed his mind? Or is it unfair because he is not a credible source of information? Or is it unfair because he was correct and it's embarrassing to point that out?
We'll all move on without you. Your vendetta is done. Tryouts are over and you didn't get the job.

Yes, tryouts are over and it does not look like the 01/02 team will be any good. Even with the subsidized fees, the team looks to be the same as last year which is a very solid bronze level team.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe whole idea of representing your school or community is weak. If you want to be the best you have to forget about people coming to watch. That should not be a motivation.
I disagree with above quote. IMHO represent your community, represent your school and friends and be the best you can be. (BEST is relative to DNA). 20 years from now your club will most likely not exist, but friends family and the kids you grew up with will always be there for you. Memories made playing in front of Grandparents and family/friends will last longer then your third place finish at SURF...

IMHO At the end of the day kids should have fun and have an opportunity to shine in front of family and friends under the big lights at there local HS. Nothing wrong with this. A large number of our best kids going on to play in College will wash out of Soccer and be students by end of Sophomore year. Has nothing to do with their soccer ability, many will decide other activities sound better to them, team chemistry etc.

Looks like the GU19 team gathered girls from a wide variety of clubs including FC ENCL & CU ECNL. Looks like a pretty competitive list of players.
Just imagine what the other three age groups would look like if GDA allowed them to play high school like the GU19 seniors.

No one comes to your games. "Three people and a dog" per the thorns coach.
