What are you all talking about? FSA is the best!

[Guest]

I know more about youth soccer than you will ever know. You need to put on your listening ears.

Your post wasn't about soccer though big guy. Nor did the prior poster disparage kids. He said FSA needs new blood. That is a fact. They clearly need new coaches too.

If you don’t have kids there or playing youth soccer then STFU and stop talking about kids.

You're really in the wrong place if you think any poster cares what you think. The club sucks. No one said the kids suck.

not the op

Seriously. I didn't even know boys played soccer in the US. And no one on here is posting about boys ECNL.

I post only about men's soccer

Coming from a CFC parent my take after watching many years of head to head in my kid's age group. FSA has some good players. They even try to play some good soccer. They just don't have enough talent 1-11 to hang. Again, just talking my kid's age group. In a game, it's usually competitive for a while, then the talent advantage takes over and CFC pulls away. In my humble opinion, the best at FSA would make CFC ECNL. But unfortunately players 6-11 wouldn't sniff it, and that's the problem.

Another poster weak on knowledge regarding youth soccer. Thanks for playing.

Its not a talent advantage on CFC that allows them to take FSA over later in the game. It's the fatigue of the FSA players' legs and lungs. This is what happens when you play kick-and-chase soccer. Your team has the ball for 10 minutes of 80 during which team your opponent chases you to get the ball. Guess who chases for the other 70 minutes? Guess what happens late in the first half. Guess what happens about midway through the 2nd half? It's not talent that causes this, but lack of knowing how to play soccer. Every mediocre team or better does this to FSA every single week. If you can play competitively when the legs are fresh, just keep the ball more and wear out your opponent a little to keep the game fair for all 80.

What are you talking about CFC is king of kick and chase! Backs boot it down the field and hope someone can run onto it. Maybe their girls are more athletic in the end, but they still can’t piece 3 passes together through the midfield.

It's really a combination of you and the other guy. Shallow rosters, lack of skills, lack of endurance . Then there's the coaching. They are some good players that can absolutely can compete in ECNL, there are some that can't. They're not "bad" just not in the right league.

It is depth. You can’t pick a team at u9 and train them all into becoming girls Ecnl players. It doesn’t matter who the coach is. That is a ridiculous way to try to compete at that level. Lots of top players develop elsewhere and need to be brought in. They don’t get those kids. It is as simple as that. The main difference between a good ecnl team and a top level EDP team isn’t usually the top end kids. It is depth. The Ecnl teams can bring kids in off the bench almost as good as the starters. EDP teams can’t do that. And neither can fsa.

100% agree with this and nice that there's someone with an actual balanced opinion here. This my observation as well.

There’s also a difference in the coaching. CFC only really plays their starters substantial minutes. FSA plays everyone pretty fairly. Their bench is not as deep because they don’t have multiple branch teams to pull from, and have Oakwood not too far from them. Both clubs have some top talent though.
