Glad we agree - but if NEFC carries the play, it must be extra frustrating that they can't score to get the W, fwiw

I would imagine you’re right... that’s why they play the games

Best of luck to the GPS Red team players all finding new homes. That was a good team U10-U13.

So will the dad be coaching at Stars as well?

Do stars allow parent coaches at these ages?

Heard Scorpions pick up a few from Stars Blue including a goalie??

Was wondering where the GK landed. Scorpions makes sense given their location.

At this age , that position starts to become very competitive.

Again , the position is very competitive and if I’m not mistaken...that stars blue team carried multiple goalies.

Where did they all go ?

Maybe she wanted to play more than a half. Maybe she didn’t click with the keepers coach at Stars. Maybe she was offered Stars White and didn’t want it. Could be a lot of different reasons that don’t have to do with which team is better. Hopefully it works out for her.

Agreed. Particularly since the "better team" angle makes no sense in this context. None of the top few teams is demonstrably better than any of the others at the moment. To leave one to go to one of the others because you think that team is "better" is kind of silly. You'd be just as well off staying where you are and trying to make your existing team better.
Scorpions is a good team and there's lots of reasons a player would chose them. Being "better" than Stars, or SSS or NEFC shouldn't really be one of them. Now, if you mean better fit - that makes more sense.

GKs don't need to be on "the best" team. They need good GK coaching and PT. They should only go to a team with one other GK and a team coach who will guarantee 1/2 a game. In fact sometimes a weaker team provides better training on the field because you're less likely to have a reliable back line.
