2010 Pre-ECNL Scorpions or FC Stars

[Guest]

I know the Scorpions 2010 Pre-ECNL team is out of Taunton. Are the Stars ECNL (2010) teams out of Lancaster or where do they practice. Any thoughts on either team. Not looking for folks to trash the teams. Constructive criticism is fine

I think we sort of just had this discussion a week ago.
scorpions EVNL is national only and out of Taunton
Stars has 4 teams; 2 ECNL and 2 ECRL for 2010
ECNL practices in Lancaster
ECRL practices in Lancaster and Milford
The Stars 2010 blue national is excellent and the white ECRL team is solid.
Scorpions has just the one team but not sure where they stack up. I believe they lost to the Stars ECRL team.
The Stars NPL, ECRL and ECNL teams are good players with good coaching. Lots of talent and depth in that club.

Wow, thank you. I appreciate the in depth feedback. Hard to find on this page. If I'm not willing to travel over an hr to Lancaster is the ECRL Milford team worth it, or should I try looking at the Scorpions.

White national is out of Milford and Lancaster, I think?
They were better than Blue for this age group last fall.

Most stars ecrl teams are comparable or better than scorpions national teams.

scorpions lacks depth & quality coaching where as stars excels.

ecnl white national & blue ecnl national has played 4 times in last 2 years and the white team is undefeated 3-0, 4-0, 4-3, 5-0 - this 5-0 game occurred yesterday. white beat Scorpions 3-1 too

Blue beat Scorpions 5-1 in their one meeting last fall. Within the next year and a half the current White and Blue will be redistributed with top combined players being assigned to blue and the balance going to white. Majority of the top players will come from the current white crop, but if you are a top player joining Stars, both paths lead to the same destination.

Both Stars teams practice in Lancaster for outdoor seasons. White practices indoors mainly at the bubble in Milford. Blue practices indoors mainly at Teamworks in Acton. Both occasionally use Atlantic Union in Lancaster for indoor space. Indoor space is always subject to change from season to season based on third party agreements.

teams combine at highschool not before. Strength of blue and white prior to highschool is based on developing, coaching and recruiting

And high school is a year and a half away.

I’d say Stars White National is excellent, Stars National Blue is solid but clearly not at White’s level, Scorpions 2010 is way behind each. Head to head scores bear this out. If you can make it to Lancaster, that is the better choice. As others mentioned, Stars will consolidate the two teams’ best players at U14, to form the top team for the high school years.

Here is the truth - If your kid isn't a top pre-GA player right now, it's already too late to try to join a Stars national team.

Only Stars White, Stars Blue, SSS, and NEFC actually teach the game of soccer. If your kid has spent the last year on a kick and chase team, she's already too far behind.

Stars will only cut a currently rostered player for a clear upgrade who fits perfectly into their style of play. They will invite you to practice, and then offer you a regional spot.

Ridiculous! If she is a top player at ANY club she has a chance at Stars Blue or White. Go to a practice, the coaches are good at spotting talent.

Riiiiiight. Because so many ECRL girls get moved up to National? And so many DPL girls get moved up to GA? Because ID clinics and open houses aren't full of girls from NPL teams who get offered 2nd team slots?

There are so few 2010 girls in this region that can bump off a currently rostered Stars player. It's either pre-GA or some kind of rare physical freak athlete, and even that doesn't generally happen until U15.

The above comment is probably from a Stars coach who desperately needs more kids for the regional team. Is that you, JB?

Stars Blue got wiped by White yesterday. They could use some turnover.
