Or...the little engine that didn't....I was hoping that the U13 girls team they developed would have stayed together. It was a good group of girls who enjoyed some success these past few years. It is now clear that several players are moving on to bigger ponds. I thought they would have done some more damage.

Changes
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAre you shocked ?
Oh Yeah!
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my spot was given away
A bunch of dead-end clubs
And every time I thought I'd got that spot
It seemed the coach was not so good
So I turned myself to Yankee
Who I never even gave a glimpse
Of how the others must see this faker
I'm much too good to take that spot
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a Yankee gal
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a defender gal
Coach may start me me
But I can't defend
Oooooh, yeah!
I watch the FSA make their merge
But never leave their past
Of indifferent soccer and
So their tryouts float through my feet
But still the teams seem the same
And these coaches that we insult
As they try to change their teams
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them you want to play for FSA
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your pride
You've left us up only B and C players
They may roster me
But I can't play there
Strange fascination is that CFC
Changes are taking the lead
Of the soccer I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you Oakwood mommies
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now the dogs get colder
They may want me
But I don't want them
I heard that CFC may want me
But I can't be United

I think Everson made a huge tactical mistake when he got into the Premier game. He had a great model when he focused his energy on skills, Futsal, town programs. He really has to rethink his strategy. Look to see him align with established club and develop players from U8-U12. Then push them on.

Other teams catch up because they're actually developing and superstar team disbands. End of story.
If he really did develop players then those moving on should continue to progress (of course that also depends on where they went lol)

I'm puzzled as to why some of you find fault with what happened here. This group of kids comes together at u11 or so and gets some good training and is able to keep it local. For most it was a fun environment and in their backyard. Also got to enjoy the thrill of winning the cup.
Most of the team is now heading to HS and a few of the top kids made it onto the rosters of strong regional teams. They'll now get to play against better talent and take their games to the next level. Perhaps CFC Sound would like to show their kids at u13 are playing next season because it's not at CFC United where a number of these kids are headed. These kids obviously stood out in a tryout setting. It would seem that Everson could be credited with their development.
The downside to Everson is that he's focused on results too early which is why some commented on them peaking at u12. This team in particular has always been a kick it to the fast kid team which doesn't work against well coached teams.

I couldn't agree more. Everson is totally focused on results. Do you recall when they beat pse 14-0 at 8v8 so they could win their league on goal difference?
What does that teach kids?
Ginga had a nice run, and had a few talented players, the best ones have to move on if they are to progress.
There's a big didderence between playing cjsa teams and ecnl/ npl teams. They found that out at stars cup

With that said, 3-4 strong players is not the same as a decent NPL team with all above average players on the roster. Also, just the practices alone on an NPL team are light years ahead of a CJSA team due to the overall skill level. When you have only a few good players, those players get lesser training from practicing with weaker teammates.

Ginga is a summer program that has a few teams. Occasionally they will have a decent but after U13 the best players will all leave. Same goes for SCP in New Haven area. Oakwood will always get best Northeast and Southeast kids. FSA will get AJAX and others around that area.
