Scorpions Dartmouth?

So I've seen this referenced on the board a couple of times now. So I did a little research, but could only come up with a couple of facts, including that a Scorpions-South team won the THIRD division of the Stars Cup, and that they've won their one MAPLE match against the THIRD Scorpions team.

Does anyone have any insight into what Scorpions are doing? Is it all Dartmouth players? Is the Scorpions Dartmouth group comparable to a Scorpions #1 team or a local team like Stingers? Is the U10 team any good?

Just curious to know what others know.

Re: Scorpions Dartmouth?

The U11 team is apparently pretty decent. They aren't on the level of the top Scorpions team, but they'll probably be pretty good in the end. The U10 also has some talented players.

I'd email Pat Marino for details. He is listed as the man in charge of that group.

Re: Scorpions Dartmouth?

Based on their admittedly early results so far (at Stars and in MAPLE) Scorpions Dartmouth looks like a potential Blue division team. Scorpions Elite and Stars United teams look like two of the superpowers out of the gate, no surprise there. Scorpions seems to have the upper hand at the moment but again, its very early. Western looks legitimate. Darby might have something going. One of the Aztec teams too. Explosion, Eagles and Blackhawks all have potential.

Re: Scorpions Dartmouth?

You have to give credit where credit is due. The Scorpions run a tight ship. They do a good job of getting the children into camp and then they train them. Some of the other programs perform well in that respect as well, Nova, SS Select, and Blackhawks.

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.

They offer free soccer then cherry pick ....

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.
