They are 10!!

for the most part teams discussed here are at the top of their age group. Most of them are very talented and work very hard. Their parents ,while overzealous at times, have committed to nurturing whatever athletic talents they may have. By no means are these athletes anywhere near where they will be in 5 years. Some may excell, others may go another direction and leave sports to pursue other interests. This thread is clearly titled and i attended every one of my daughter's birthdays so i know exactly how old she is. I also can count so no need to remind me how many players are on the field. I also enjoy watch my daughter excell at something she clearly enjoys and support her dreams(not mine). So before you charectarize all soccer parents here as crazy you should ask yourself if you have any of substance to add. You clearly do not. My daughter enjoys being 10, playing soccer and occasionally being silly( a typical adolescent ) and yes i enjoy every minute of it.

hear! Hear!

Clearly there are some idiots that read and post on the forum...
Best advise let them Vent, ignore them as they are tools.... No need to get in a back and forth banter over who is right, agree to disagree by ignoring foolish posts...

They will get bored and move on.. Continue to post and respond to constructive post only.. Life goes on, and we get to enjoy kids being kids... Learning a sport, maybe getting real good, maybe not..

Teams at the Top of the age group can get there many different ways....
Some with trained talent, some with acquired talent, some by using slightly older 10's (with birth date in Aug, Sept, Oct., Nov.) Some choose to play over the top to one or two girls........ All these systems work at 10-11 maybe 12 at 14-15-16 all this levels out, speed no longer works without skills, Possession play requires skilled passing, confidence on the ball under pressure and dribbling skills to beat opponent 1v1

PARENTS beware that if you are not being taught skills, the game as they get older will pass by some talented 10 yr olds that do not develop. Make sure you child is learning skills or you maybe the next cut off a team that is dropping 2nd half of the roster....

Any games to watch this weekend? Any chance that the mighty BB team will be de throned?

Couple of decent matches in the top half of Green -- Select L vs. Galway, NEFC G vs. Blackwatch Premier... Pioneers look to challenge up against NEFC N in Orange...they'll need the homecourt advantage working to prevail, however. Stars W look to break out against Smithfield and and all Scorps battle in White.

Looks like things will go pretty much by the book in the other divisions this week...dress warm everybody.

...and lest I forget, BB Arsenal will win out, going 9-0-0 in White. You can take that to the bank.

I agree those should be some great games to watch. The best part, as everyone knows, on any given Sunday anything can happen. So lets have fun and yes Dress Warm!!

Blue Division shaping up for Spring. Will be interesting how U11 White will shake out. NEFC B will win but two other teams may get in by way of record. I think, if I understand correctly, winner of each division then two best records in U11 Maple? So, who goes Sorps or Fuller? SSS Elite will take Purple with no problem.

Great teams, all of them. Can't wait for Spring!!!!

Seems like JD Stars (Orange) are intent on staking a claim to one of the two wild card slots in Blue Div, although a bad result vs. NEFC next week could upset their chances. Scorpions D or Fuller (White Div.) are two serious contenders, with a berth very likely riding on the outcome of their head to head match in week 9.

Two other hopefuls, based on their current records, are North Shore B and Crusaders although their GD's aren't quite as strong.

Stars should win matchup with NEFC as they are a better team.

Just a guess but:

Spring U11 blue division

NEFC N (orange winner)
NEFC B (white winner)
Select E (purple winner)
NH classics (blue winner)
PASA FC B (red winner)
Select u10(green winner)

Wild card teams:

Stars of Ma(orange)
Winner of Scorpion/fuller hamlets (white)

Crusaders benefit from a weak division. They played one quality team and lost 8-0. North shore B plays PASA FC next week in a must win game

Agreed. Both Crusaders teams play Purple. Both lost to SSS Elite 8-0 I believe. SSS Elite one of the top teams in U11 Maple while the rest of Purple mediocre @ best. Look forward to the North Shore B/PASA FC game. Blue Division in Spring should be exciting.

North Shore, Stars C Vikings are the most underrated teams in this age group!
