Girls 97/98

Re: Girls 97/98

Shut it, been on this since before you were born. On the old touchline for years, son. I have more understanding that you can possibly realize; 1 in college and 1 graduating next spring, been on 2 club soccer boards and did a short stint at a D2 college so don't you pretend to know more than me.

This whole thread has been fairly sarcastic with comments tying back to the U16 thread about a coach telling his players they cant play winter or spring sports. If you had any sense on how to follow threads, you would see that.

Dude .. You read remarkably like Cujo.. Now I know you are a schmuk.

Thats the best you got little man? Go be stupid someplace else.

He'll be stupid no matter where he goes.

Re: Girls 97/98

I noticed Granite FC dropped from MAPLE U11.

Any info on Darby? They beat the Stars B team by a goal, so I'd be careful putting them in the company of those other teams.

My daughters team played them as U10s and I watched them at Bandits. Big time kick and chase team. Mostly (if not all) Franklin players.

GU11 Blue: FCGB and Hamlets-R should be on top.
GU11 Green: Top 2 Aztec teams are pretty good. SF Vikings as well.
GU11 Red: Pioneers and Eagles are the class of the division. Explosion is average but should be 3 or 4. Western is middle of the pack.
GU11 White: Weakest GU11 division. Duxbury United and Blackhawks should be on top. Scorpions South is a decent team but not a blue division team.

GU11 Blue for Spring:

FCGB, Hamlets-r, Aztec x 2, Pioneers, NE Eagles, Duxbury and Blackhawks. Not sure who gets bumped to Green if Scorpions GU11 Elite and Stars GU11 United play U11 in the spring.


Once the Scorpions and Stars 11's move into this age group in the spring, none of the teams you've mentioned will be able to compete with them. The only time either team has lost in this age group was to each other.

Duxbury United??? I've seen this team, and they are not very good. I don't know much about the Scorpions South team, but I wouldn't be so confident in DU making the blue division above them.

Fair enough. I saw the Scorpions South team and, while the potential is there, I don't think they're one of the top in the division yet. You may be right about Duxbury though. Maybe the RI Rays would be near the top. I still believe the GU11 white is the weakest of the 4 brackets.

I think this goes without saying. I didn't get to see Stars United play yet but I have seen the Scorpions Elite and they are impressive.

This is synthesized from the Scorpions Dartmouth thread. It has some fairly specific observations about the age group and I thought it might serve as the foundation for a larger discussion about the direction of this age group.

Re: Girls 97/98

Based on the Stars and Bandit tournament and MAPLE results I would agree with a previous poster that Scorpions might be ahead of the pack at the moment with Stars, Aztecs (not both teams just one....I think I saw that when they played recently one team beat the other 5-0), Eagles, Pioneers, Hamlets (at least for now), Western and Scorpions Dartmouth in the next tier. I dont believe Duxbury United will be a factor for long either.

Re: Girls 97/98

Which Eagles team are you referring to? Also are either Jason Dewhurst or Fred Marks coaching the U11 teams competing up in the U12 bracket this fall?

There are 3 Aztec teams. 2 are 2-0-0 and the 3rd is 0-2-0.

I talked with a parent whose daughter plays for the Nova team that played Western. His opinion was that Western has 2 very good players that carried the team and the game was not as lopsided as the score indicated. He also told me the Pioneers team they played is very big and skilled for a U11 team so it seems that the original report on them is accurate.

Re: Girls 97/98

People should realize that initially talent first seperates by region and migrates to the stronger clubs in that area. As time goes by the geographic boundaries start to disappear and the players start to migrate to the top 3 or 4 teams in the age group. What you see now is just the initial movements. Typically the clubs with multiple teams look to build one strong team and then use the others to feed talent to it. The parents at clubs like this year's Aztecs, Eagles and Scorpions typically get shocked when this happens and the result is the first big reshuffling. After that comes the disillussionment with the small clubs that build teams substantially from a single town team. It takes these parents a little time to realize that paying for the privilege of playing for their town coach really doesn't work to their kid's benefit and then they leave. At the end of the day you end up looking at the Scorps, the Stars, the Pioneers, the Aztecs, and MPS.

Nice rant by the Scorpmen. Trash Dux Utd 10 year old girls. They may not be the best, but their parents drive 10 minutes to practice and pay a very small fee, and will not be paying tens of thousands of dollars in upcoming club fees and travel expenses. the kids play mulitple sports and do not spend hours in the car. Guess what, a great HS athlete playing multiple sports , can still play college soccer if they choose.

Why would Scorpions trash Duxbury?

Playing devils advocate .. why would you suppose Duxbury will turn out great HS athletes? Do they have a track record of doing that sort of thing. Do you even know what you are talking about when it comes to what it takes to play at the college level?

Re: Girls 97/98

I saw the Scorpion 11s playing Puma 12s yesterday. The size difference was funny. Scorpion 11s were scrappy but very small. They lost.

Re: Girls 97/98

Have the Stars or the Scorpions played the Seacoast United girls U11 team in a tournament or a friendly?
