4 of the 6 kids selected from Oakwood just started playing there in September.

Oakwood and its coaching staff had nothing to do with their development or abilities.

Reading between the lines here it seems the commenter is inferring that Oakwood can’t REALLY take credit for their success since their development obviously happened prior to arriving in September.

I’m sure they will manage to waste those boys talent like they do in ever other age group. Who ever is putting together these teams has no idea what they are doing.

The club, and parents, don’t understand how you construct a TEAM. To be fair most clubs and coaches around the area don’t either. Just gather the “talent” and expect to win.

Xanax Mom and her 2 whining children still throw tantrums on the field to this day. No reason to construct the team to win.
2013s that left can speak to it.

If that’s the definition of the problem as you suggest then it sounds like there are some solutions. The first step is of course admitting that you have a problem. The second step is actually thinking critically about who you have playing each position and why. Step three is developing each player toward the standard for that position.

Agree from what little Ive seen of these different teams they are just aggregating talent and hoping for the best, but if they all look the same, play as individuals, and have attitudes on top of it then you will not win - ever. It’s like staffing a team of Tom Brady’s at putting them at every position on the field. Not going to work - don’t care which given Sunday it is. To save this club you need an architect for a director who will build each team with certain characteristics in mind for each position and match players closest to it and develop from there. You now have a plan, but only you can choose to execute it.

Sometimes you have to break glass. I’d argue too much beyond those director appointments is frozen in time from prior years. Staying the course could mean losing it all.

If you hear the squeals of a large female hyena turning red in her seat you know it is the Xanax Mom.

She sounds like a real boss. Does she pay a higher fee for this privilege? If I and my kid were the reason a team a team was tanking, I’d step back.

Owners had a different vision.
