Girls 03 Rankings

[Unregistered]

I know plenty of people who started out at PCC and have great jobs and pay. Your damaged goods. Your like those people who go to the casino and win some but, just are not satisfied so they keep betting and hoping the next bet will be the big payoff until they leave broke. Same thing with all this consolidation crap. In the end, girls quit because crazy parents always wanting more. How much do pro soccer players make anyhow? Focus on school and enjoy soccer. The chances that your 03 DD is the next superstar is very slim.

I can tell by your (possessive, the contraction is you're) grammar and vocab that you went to PCC. Yes, there are plenty of people who started out at PCC and have good jobs but let's not compare average W2s between Harvard and PCC. Your argument has no merit.

New LP rankings?

LP. Can you post the latest 03 rankings please. Heading into the new cutoff year next year it would be nice if all the rankings were as of Spring. Kind of put a period on the end of the school age rankings. That way you can start anew for the calendar year teams. So kind of you pulling all these statistics.

Thanks

ECNL Directors of Coaching:
On August 24, 2015, the US Soccer Federation announced several significant changes to the youth competition environment to be implemented in the coming years. Fundamentally, these changes have been made in the interests of long term player development and can be placed into 2 major categories: (i) player age group cut-off dates; and (ii) small-sided game structures and sizes. (To read the full US Soccer announcement click here.)
As a league sanctioned by US Club Soccer (a national association member of US Soccer), the ECNL is required to follow the rules, regulations and policies of US Soccer – including these new mandates. As a developmentally focused organization, the ECNL also supports any attempts to create a better environment for youth players.
The recent US Soccer mandates will have an impact on almost every facet of youth competition in this country. Of immediate importance to ECNL clubs, these mandates – and especially the change to calendar year registration – will require adjustments to the structure of ECNL competition. Since US Club Soccer and other national sanctioning bodies have determined to implement the calendar year age group change beginning in the 2016-17 competition season –this adjustment will occur in ECNL competition in less than 12 months. The changes that will be implemented by the ECNL are outlined below and in the attached document.
ECNL Changes Due to Birth Year Registration / Age Group Cut-Offs: EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2016
Beginning August 1, 2016, ECNL teams will be formed using the new age group cut-off date of January 1. The most significant impact of this change is that teams will now generally consist of players in two different school years; in other words, players born from January 1 to July 31 will generally be a year older in school than the players born from August 1 to December 31. To accommodate the structural challenges imposed by these changes, ECNL competition will be structured as follows in 2016-2017:
Age Group
Birth Year (Jan 1)
ECNL National Event Requirement
U17/18
1998/1999 (Juniors/Seniors)
2 Regular Season ECNL National Events
U16
2000 (Sophomores/Juniors)
3 Regular Season ECNL National Events
U15
2001 (Freshman/Sophomores)
3 Regular Season ECNL National Events
U14
2002 (8th Graders/Freshman)
1 Regular Season ECNL National Events
U13
2003 (7th Graders/8th Graders)
Optional Regular Season ECNL Events Only

The new ECNL competition structure outlined above addresses several challenges imposed by the mandates:
· U17/18 Players: The combination of the U17 and U18 age groups has a positive developmental impact by insuring U17 players play “up” while also addressing the inherent player shortage that would otherwise occur in “pure” U18 competition in a calendar-based age group. (This shortage occurs because in a calendar-based age group every year a percentage of “rising U18s” will actually be graduating from high school and will no longer be participating in youth soccer.)
· College Showcasing: As the oldest ECNL age group will now include a high percentage of juniors in high school, this age group will have increased collegiate showcasing needs. Accordingly, this age group will now have 2 required ECNL National Events each year to allow appropriate showcasing. The total number of required ECNL events per club will remain the same (9 per year), as the youngest age group including freshman aged players will only have 1 event.
· 5 Years of ECNL Competition. For development reasons, it is important to maintain five years of ECNL competition for players. By using a January 1 age group cut-off, the youngest age group in the ECNL will now technically be labeled U13 – although this age group will actually include players that are only 6 months younger than would have entered the ECNL in previous years.

Congrats to Selenium 1 for beating down Selenium 2, 9-1! That must have made some S2 parents and players feel really good.

Would you not tap the brakes a little with your own club? I'm sure Tom got some phone calls over that one. Nice.

That's nothing. Remember the Pacific Revolution 03's putting 25-0 beatdowns on teams in summer tournaments?

This isn't rec! It's the top premier bracket in the state and Selenium 2 qualified for the top bracket on their own merits. There's no coddling at this level and Selenium 2 showed they belong with a close loss to NEU.

I didn't say that S2 didn't belong in Prem, I just found it funny and in poor etiquette to embarrass your club mates like that. I guess there isn't a whole lot of love between the S1 and S2 coaches.

Oh, you would rather Selenium 2 have false hopes, by finishing really close to their sister team Selenium 1.

Reality Check.

Could be worse. Could be playing for ADF.

I think 5 or 6 to 1 and playing keep away for the last 15 minutes sends a clear enough message. 9-1 you do to clubs that you don't like.

But the fact that I need to explain that proves my point that S1 and Thusc have no etiquette.

Someone forgot to tell them that this is spring league and results don't matter.

Thusc is like school this coming Monday, no class.

Keepaway is for clowns. Taking 1 or 2 kids off the field to even up the match is more professional.

True, but having been on the losing end of a few of those, there isn't really any to soften an ass-kicking.
