Oh yes got soccer rankings, I forgot that was akin to the bible. -
Spirit Kick-Off Classic has always had a decent record of getting good clubs that come to play from southern states as well as Ohio and Michigan. Younger teams get to see future ECNL and GDA clubs and get good games. We have played in the tournament for years and it's always been a good experience. The travel is a drag!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It wasn’t the Stars if that’s what you’re asking. Didn’t win any brackets. GPS, both boys and girls, had a better showing.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

GPS girls teams were in lower brackets across the board than Stars and NEFC.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

So GPS top teams played agains Stars 3rd or 4th teams. Congrats. Not one GPS girls team in the top division of any age group. Again, congratulations.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Thoughts are with SM after the tough weekend he had. He is a great coach and I am sure he will bounce back from this.Comment

Someone please educate the Scorpions hierarchy that they are not and will not ever be a top bracket team in a half decent tournament. Its a bad look on your organization getting beat up that bad. Going 0-3 U12 U13 U14 and conceding more than 10+ goals along the way. There is brave and then just plain stupid.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If they are so bad, why are they and clubs like FSA FC in the ECNL? Why doesn't JD allow for some better competition then?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You’re not that dumb are you? You need the bottom feeder clubs to make you get your 2 wins a season. Everyone knows those 2 clubs are always at the bottom end of the tables. It looks good that he’s allowing another team from MA in but full well knowing they will never be able to really compete with them. JD gives the boys over at the scorpions a pat on the head now and again, tells them they are going a good job. It’s smart business. NEFC wanted back in after the breakers deal was up, showed their hand said they didn’t want DA, they were told no. I wonder why?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What's funny is you think U12, U13 and U14 soccer means anything. Let me educate you: No one in any of those age brackets is being recruited by colleges or getting YNT camp invites. Before HS, none of it means squat.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Want to know how the Scorpions work? Talent from other clubs who want more than NPL/NEP and don't want to play DA will aggregate to FC Stars or Scorpions depending on the convenience of Lancaster or Taunton over the next few years. Additional Stars players will look at Scorpions because they don't want to be on the "2nd" ECNL team. By U16, the teams will be decent and the weaker players from the younger years gone. Why? Because U16 is now the prime recruiting age and the sweet spot given the new recruiting rules. Scorps drop the bottom 15-20% of the roster every year looking to upgrade, so it all works out just fine for those top players from other clubs looking for an upgrade.
Top few players from these "winning" teams will move on to Stars and Scorpions or DA, then those teams won't win so much...Comment
