Competitive Bolts - WU Match

[Unregistered]

you can't be that dense. I assume that you could understand the concept that one blowout game in the youngest age group after three practices does not reflect the quality of an entire club....Bolts or any other.
They lost because the other team was better. A big difference between the two teams was the lack or field organization on the part of the Bolts....something that should improve with time and more practices.

Oh please. It's not as if all the other U10s have been practiciing all summer. Beginning of season U10 is based on pure talent. Based on Labor Day tournaments, there are dozens of teams (NEFC, MPS, Stars, Valeo) that have attracted quite a few outstanding players.

I don't understand why anyone on here says U10 doesn't matter. It certainly matters to those players on the field and their parents and family on the sideline. Every age group matters!!

Western MA hicks

You are acting the same way with this response! As a WU parent of this team I really hope the boasting does not come from one of the WU parents themselves? Really? It is U10! It does matter to all the parents and the players but really? No need to boast! My hope is this came from some parent bitter with the bolts from some other club because that is just embarrassing! Just as embarrassing as the clown that posted "Western MA hicks".

That's not the arguement.
The arguement is if the score of the game matters.
U10 is VERY important...the way the kids play, what they learn, how they improve....
Just not the score of the game.

Understand now?

and the play between the 2 was night and day. Size and speed aside it was day and night. Speed and size aside as that was about the same. Developmentally that much stronger. It is proof that Botls development has more to do with recruiting if a hick can play them off the field...hahaha.

Ha ha ha ha...

You are absolutely correct. You don't understand.

One, it's U10. So it means absolutely nothing in trying to make predictions for the spring of 2012, let alone 2-3 years down the road.

Two, the actual score of the game has absolutely zero meaning. Zero. None.

Do the kids get excited when they score and win, absolutely. Do the parents want to see their son/daughter play well and have fun? Absolutely!

Do the coaches/trainer want to see some of the players work on some of the technical skills that they have taught them and worked on over the past weeks? Absolutely!

Is this thread an embarassment to MA soccer? Absolutely!

On the girl's side u10 the Bolts beat Western United 5-1. So the Bolts must have some program development going on, where would they have recruited these girls from?

recruitment has been part of every club with success. Some clubs are harsher than others in doing so. Are you going to tell me that Western United and the Piorneers haven't had battles. If you look back to most of the State Cup champs I would guess that their top players came via recruitment and were not developed at that club since U9.

As for Western Mass teams and players, the area has a rich history of success with soccer at the club level and high school level.....also a pro team. Why anyone would be surprised that a Western Mass team could be an Eastern Mass team is beyond reason.

As for this one game, it is 'in the books' so to speak and all should move on and figure out how to develop their current roster so as to avoid another major blowout.

This is very untrue! That didn't happen as it was the the other way around and way worse than 5-1 by the WU second team. Maybe another age group?

I stand corrected! Just checked website...red team is in wrong division.

So both WU u10 girls teams belong in the "b" division?

They are a split squad but white may be a bit stronger

How convenient

So for the U10 boys it was a butt kicking and WU rules but for U10 girls it's either a WU split or misplaced team? How convenient JA.

The boys have 3 teams in u10 (2 u10 and 1 u9 playing u10) the girls have 2 teams that were split evenly between u9 and u10 girls.
