U12 Girls

Both the Stars and Western played PDA very well and PDA is strong with a lot of extremely good players. How did Blackwatch play PDA? Keep in mind I am not talking about just the score. Did they hold there own, both the Stars and WU did?

PDA is not the be all end all that everyone thinks they are either.

They beat Fuller 5-0, WU 4-0, Blackwatch 5-1 Stars 2-1, so I think thats pretty impressive

PDA is good. WU also tied them 0-0. the difference between PDA and Stars/Western in the depth of extremely high quality players.

Maybe Stars and Western should merge.

Interesting point, how many would make it from each team I wonder?

I think the coaching pair would be interesting.

Too much ego between the 2 to fit on the sideline!

Its funny how people just post random statements. You don't know anything about Ry*an or Greg, as far as I know they have a good relationship, talk to each other often and want their teams to get better because the two teams need each other. They scrimmage constantly together over the year. Doesn't seem to be any issue's there, are you trying to create one?

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Please explain why you feel the two have such large egos and would not be able to coach together?

I've seen all the teams play in the age bracket including Blackwatch. The player from Blackwatch is spectaculor and I'm sure every team would love to have her. That being said, Blackwatch is not at the Stars or Western level. Both of those teams have too many quality players and good coaching. IMO if either of those teams pick up a few more quality players then they will further seperate themselves from the rest of the pack. I find it funny that some of the Fuller parents on this site include themselves as one of the top teams. Fuller is good...but lets not get carried away. I know... Iknow... look at the scores, record etc... but if the Stars and Western play their best players then you have no chance and I think you will see that this season.

Stars is actually far superior to Western who is quite similar to Fuller. If Fuller picks up a few more quality players they will separate from Western and be closer to Stars.

. . . a particular girl is an absolute beast on the field

. . . and Stars have this girl . . .

#18 is best for the age group

Just a question? Am I off base in thinking that there is something wrong about a thread where the discussion is who is the "best U12 player" in the state of MA?

The player from Black Watch must be a pretty good player to be getting so much attention. And I'm sure #18 for the Stars is a pretty good U12 player also. I'm sure Western, the Scorpions, Fuller...all have a player or two that are very good U12 players.

I'm just not sure where the discussion goes from here?

Can you be "the best player in MA" without being with the best club or team in MA? Would any club ever admit that the "best player" trains and plays with another club?

How do parents objectively determine who is "the best U12" player in MA? If its only seeing this player on the field for one game and/or tournament, and then coming away with an opionion, I don't know if you're getting the entire picture.

Let's take a player who is athletic, posesses all the physical skills and tools to be an excellent player and just led her team to a State/Regional championship...i.e., choose any of the players that are listed in this thread.

If this player is difficult to coach, habitually is a no-show at practice, is disliked by the other players on her team and isn't committed to the game, her coach and/or team...is she still the best player in MA.

I don' have a U12 girls playing soccer. However, in reading this thread (if everyone is being honest), it looks like we can expect great things from this group as they grow and mature. Who knows...maybe the 10th rated player in the state may even move up and over take some of her rivals.
