Don’t know these girls and have never seen them play, but if the FC Stars coaches gave them spots on a very strong 2006 blue team, they must be pretty talented.

The Stars blue 2006 team is a top 3 team in the state along with Scorpions & Stars White. That not good enough for you?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere is really zero reason for most of these players to be playing up at this point. Other than situations where families have 2 kids 1 year apart and it makes sense for logistical reasons if the kids are talented enough, playing up often has more to do with how aggressive the parents are about wanting their little superstar to stand out than anything else. Many have made the point on this site and it's true, the top 3-5 players on almost any ECNL team could play up.
Kids who are physically dominant at U11/12 because they grew faster than peers should play up to kids their own size to prevent a big drop off after others catch up.
Just being able to function on the team above shouldn’t be the threshold.

NEFC 2006 & 2007 teams are both strong. GAL will be equivalent to NEP premiership. They are going to slaughter everyone they play in GAL.
