The boys side is sad.
At least NEFC isn't as terrible as GPS when they run a tournament. GPS likes to populate 80% of the top brakets with their own teams. At least NEFC looks to be under 50%.
All the U12 and U13 Bolts teams have moved on to DAP. That should help GPS and NEFC.
Either way it stands to reason that the U12 division will be a shell of itself based on the U12 DAP teams NEFC and GPS have now. Those kids can no longer compete in these tournaments.

Do you go on a home and garden message board and complain about GPS, too?

U12 A = 2 NEFC teams, 2 GPS teams
U13 A = 1 NEFC team, 3 GPS teams
It's hard not to talk about them since they've jumped in the tournament bed together.

Sure, it's real easy to not talk about them when the subject isn't about them. When you go to type G-P-S, think "wait, this is about NEFC's tournament". And stop.
Pretty simple, actually.

Seems in-line with expectations. None of the GPS teams directly have anything to do with each other. We don't even know any of the other players on any of the other teams more than we do from any other clubs altogether.

I look at it as my kid plays in a tournament, actually several, during the year. They generally do well, if there's knock-out rounds she advance 2/3 of the time, make the finals occasionally, and win maybe once a year. Almost all games are competitive.
That tells me she is playing at the correct competition level. She is able to learn and apply her skills without getting crushed, as she's not at that level. She's also not out crushing someone else, as that's just as much of a waste of time. She bonds with her teammates, has a blast, and gives her a good run-out for the weekend.
I could care less what it says on the front of the jersey across from her. Neither does she.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAs I understand it, the u12 DAP teams are actually birth year 2004? That the "most elite" boys league in Mass happens to be the only one that doesn't have to follow the new birth year mandates? So not sure I agree with reasoning that the u12 age group (2005) has yet been fleeced by DAP to the extent you might suggest. But I'm glad to be wrong on this one....so please jump all over me if I've misunderstood.
