Some U18 girls teams only fielded 8-9 players this past weekend because of ACTS and Proms which helped some teams get results that they wouldn't have gotten playing a full team.

My daughter plays for OCYS Purple and we played Team Boca White with 8 players and lost 3-0. The game next to us was TBU Premier that had 8 players and lost 3-0 as well to Brev Blue.Comment

Sounds like the girls who didn't show up made the choice to sacrifice the win.Comment

Occurred at our games as well. I'd like to hear a good argument for missing state cup games at such a critical time. The end of Round 2? Your teams needed your support.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Parents allow this to happen. Gonna be tough to pull this crap in college (that's if they play in college).Comment

Just playing devil's advocate here, but a lot of thes girls play club in order to get to play in college. If they have already committed to a school and are locked in - then they have a choice to make between playing in state cup with their team or going to the Prom. Prom is a big deal to many people, especially for girls in their senior year of high school who have already missed many events with friends in order to play tournaments or travel to showcases. As long as they were upfront with their coach and team about their decision - I won't fault them for making that decision.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

wah wah. they won't play in college if this is reflective of the kind of commitment they make. the end for them. If they are already committed, they should be even more concerned about their teammates who may not be committed. In our situation, if the coach knew and didn't inform the team, then he/she should be fired. Respect has to go both ways.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

All points are valid: College will be a balancing act between functions, classes, practice/games. Prom vs. State Cup is just the beginning. By the next round proms should be all wrapped up.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Dude - you're a douche. No one was crying or complaining, simply pointing out the fact that U18 State Cup may not be the most important thing to some girls that are moving on to play in college. Too bad your daughter isn't good enough to have committed to a school already and is looking for D3/NAIA schools that might still have a spot left on their teams.....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

But you made the committment to play the whole year at U18s. Why screw the team and make them play shorthanded, have parents drive all over the State, and not field a full squad. Very disrespectful. But that is how you raise your kids I guess...Comment
